Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After teaching many times from the book of 2 Timothy, John Stott writes, 'I have been impressed afresh by the timeliness for today of what the apostle writes, especially for young Christian leaders.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In these stormy times, voices from all fronts call for change. But what kind of revolution brings true freedom to both society and the human soul Cultural observer Os Guinness explores the nature of revolutionary faith, contrasting between secular revolutions such as the French Revolution and the faith-led revolution of ancient Israel. He argues that the story of Exodus is the highest, richest, and deepest vision for freedom in human history. It serves as themaster story of human freedom and provides the greatest sustained critique of the abuse of power. His contrast between 'Paris' and 'Sinai' offers a framework for discerning between two kinds of revolution and their different views of human nature, equality, and liberty. Drawing on the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, Guinness develops Exodus as the Magna Carta of humanity, with a constructive vision of a morally responsible society of independent free people who are covenanted to each other andto justice, peace, stability, and the common good of the community. This is the model from the past that charts our path to the future.'There are two revolutionary faiths bidding to take the world forward,' Guinness writes. 'There is no choicefacing America and the West that is more urgent and consequential than the choice between Sinai and Paris. Will the coming generation return to faith in God and to humility, or continue to trust in the all sufficiency of Enlightenment reason, punditry, and technocracy Will its politics be led by principles or by power ' While Guinness cannot predict our ultimate fate, he warns that we must recognize the crisis of our time and debate the issues openly. As individuals and as a people, we must choose between the revolutions, between faith in God and faith in Reason alone, between freedom and despotism, and between life and death.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Biblical Foundations Book Awards Runner Up and FinalistWhat does the epistle to the Hebrews mean when it calls Jesus 'Son' Is 'Son' a title that denotes his eternal existence as one person of the Trinity Or is it a title Jesus receives upon his installation on heaven's throne after his resurrection and ascension In this Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture (SCDS) volume, which promotes fresh understandings of Christian belief through creative, faithful readings of the canonical text, pastor and New Testament scholar R. B. Jamieson probes the complexity of the Christology presented in the epistle to the Hebrews.Exploring the paradox of this key term, Jamieson argues that, according to Hebrews, 'Son' names both who Jesus is eternally and what he becomes at the climax of his incarnate, saving mission. Jesus is, in short, the eternal Son who became the messianic Son for us and for our salvation. This volume thereby offers acase study showing how the church's core convictions about Christ lead us not away from the text, but deeper into it.Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture, edited by Daniel J. Treier and Kevin J. Vanhoozer, promotes evangelical contributions to systematic theology, seeking fresh understanding of Christian doctrine through creatively faithful engagement with Scripture in dialogue with church.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - MIDWC Book AwardAs our society becomes more socially fragmented, many Christians feel disconnected and struggle to grow spiritually. Common models of spiritual transformation are proving inadequate to address 'the sanctification gap.' In recent decades, however, a new paradigm of human and spiritual development has been emerging from multiple fields. It's supported by a critical mass of evidence, all pointing to what psychologists Todd W. Hall and M. Elizabeth Lewis Hall call a relational revolution.In Relational Spirituality, Hall and Hall present a definitive model of spiritual transformation based on a relational paradigm. At its heart is the truth that human beings are fundamentally relational--we develop, heal, and grow through relationships. While many sanctification models are fragmented, individualistic, and lack a clear process for change, the relational paradigm paints a coherent picture of both process and goal, supported by both ancient wisdom and cutting-edge research. Integrating insights from psychology and theology, this book lays out the basis for relational spiritual transformation and how it works practically in the context of relationships and community.Relational Spirituality draws together themes such as trinitarian theology, historical and biblical perspectives on the imago Dei, relational knowledge, attachment patterns, and interpersonal neurobiology into a broad synthesis that will stimulate further dialogue across a variety of fields. Highlighting key characteristics of spiritual communities that foster transformation, Hall and Hall equip spiritual leaders and practitioners to more effectively facilitate spiritual growth for themselves and those they serve.Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage andfamily therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support the well-being of their clients.…
