Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Living Out Real Faith in the Book of James with N. T. Wright In every generation of the church, there are people who just glide along, seeming to enjoy what they hear in church but without it making any real difference in their lives. James faced exactly the same problem in the very first generation. It's not surprising that making sure faith is the real thing by translating belief into action is near the heart of his message. That kind of faith, he explains, isthe faith that matters, the faith that justifies, the faith that saves. We need that kind of faith today.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Lord's commitment to make himself known throughout the nations is the overarching missionary theme of the Bible and the central theological concern of Exodus.Countering scholarly tendencies to fragment the text over theological difficulties, Ross Blackburn contends that Exodus should be read as a unified whole, and that an appreciation of its missionary theme in its canonical context is of great help in dealing with the difficulties that the book poses. For example, how is Exodus 6:3 bestunderstood Is there a tension between law and gospel, or mercy and judgment How should we understand the painstaking detail of the tabernacle chapters From a careful examination of Exodus, this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume demonstratesthat- the Lord humbled Pharaoh so the world would know that only God can save- the Lord gave Israel the law so that its people might display his goodness to the nations, living in a state of order and blessing- the Lord dealtwith Israel's idolatry severely, yet mercifully, for his goodness cannot be known if his glory is compromisedIn the end, Exodus not only sheds important light on the church's mission, but also reveals what kind of God the Lord is, one who pursues his glory and our good, ultimately realizing both as he makes himself known in Christ Jesus.Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.…
