Holiness Of Heart And Life - Loving God And Neighbor

de Allan R. Bevere

3,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The word "holiness" has become somewhat unpopular, as people associate it with a holier-than-thou attitude, a judgmental approach to others, or a legalistic approach to Christian life.But holiness is a word that is used a great deal in scripture and has a long history in Christian theology. Is it possible to talk about holiness as a positive element in living? Can people be called to be holy and in fact called holy?Dr. Allan Bevere believes so. Working from the Wesleyan tradition, but also examining the broader record of Christian thought and the scriptural witness, he looks at what holiness is and is not. As he does so he finds it helpful and challenging rather than negative and destructive.Topical Line Drive volumes are intended to point you to the basics and provide a start for deeper study. Individuals and small groups will find this book ideal as a starting point for a study of this important topic. All God''s saints (holy ones!) should understand where they stand as they worship a holy God.

Gospel In Colossians

de Timothy Dwyer

5,29€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The book of Colossians is often seen as standing apart from other letters attributed to Paul, even by those who affirm Paul as the author. Does Colossians relate the same story of the gospel message as Galatians and Romans?In The Gospel in Colossians, Timothy Dwyer explains that the gospel message is found throughout Colossians in a clear, deep, and majestic form. Working from creation through covenantal history, to the kingdom of God in the present and future, he believes Paul develops an understanding of the gospel rooted in the supremacy, majesty, and greatness of Jesus Christ.The 44th volume in the Topical Line Drives Series, this volume is a short, but powerful and comprehensive examination of the way in which this one letter presents the gospel and upholds Jesus as the one and only savior. One important feature of the book is the presentation of the relationship of concepts in a variety of texts that come together in forming the theology of Colossians.This book will be of benefit to those serious about developing their understanding of biblical theology, for pastors preparing sermons from the text of Colossians, and for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of the foundation of the gospel message.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Does process theology have something to say about political and social issues and our response to them?In this short book, Bruce Epperly says that it has much to say, and can shape not just the ethics and policies of a better world, but also the way in which we debate and decide those policies. Process theology invites discussion and even guides us toward acceptable and positive compromises.No major political issue of the western world is excluded from this discussion. From immigration to criminal justice, from abortion to reproductive health, from the environment to economic development, process thinking can help guide examination, shaping, and implementation of solutions for a troubled world.This book is suitable for individual reading by anyone who wants to take a fresh look at policy from an open-minded, progressive point of view. It can also be helpful in group studies for those who want to study how to apply prophetic proclamation to daily living.

Who Is Jesus? - The Puzzle And The Portraits Of A Divine Savior

de Allan R. Bevere

5,29€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 At Easter, major magazines and blogs will publish articles claiming to tell us who Jesus was. Every few weeks we see a new book making similar claims. Is it possible to know?In Who Is Jesus?, Allan Bevere addresses this question from the point of view of a person of faith who takes seriously the gospels and early Christian tradition as documentation of events and of serious theological reflection on those events. According to Bevere, Christian theology was neither an invention, nor a set of random speculations unrelated to reality. Rather, they were the response of early Christianity to the experience of Jesus and the historical pictures as presented in the canonical gospels.From a discussion of the Old Testament record piecing together the puzzle of biblical messianic prophecy through illumination of the christological controversies of the first five centuries of Christian history, and then back to the four portraits of Jesus given to us in the canonical gospels, this book provides a clear description of how orthodox Christian scholarship can bring together the varied evidence in order to present a coherent theological picture of the Jesus of history. As Bevere contends, history and theology are not easily separated, but are two threads that create an interwoven tapestry in which events have meaning.This book is good for individual reading, or could easily provide readings and an outline for a small group study.

To Love And Cherish - Ephesians 5 And The Challenge Of Christian Marriage

de Hannelore Hushbeck e Jr. Elgin Hushbeck

5,29€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 There are few topics where good advice is more needed than that of Christian marriage. At the same time there are few topics about which the answers given are as scattered and unclear.In this short but comprehensive volume, Elgin Hushbeck, Jr., tackles one of the most disputed passages in the New Testament, Ephesians 5, and its discussion on Marriage. On the one hand, this passage tends to scandalize some liberals, and, on the other, gets interpreted in a very patriarchal way by some conservatives. Hushbeck puts this passage into its literary and historical context to see what Paul was saying to his immediate audience, and how that message can apply to modern Christians. His clear exposition of structural and rhetorical factors is especially helpful.His analysis will open the eyes of many as to how this verse presents a challenge to both the conventions of Paul''s time and of ours, as it goes to the heart of Christian Marriage.This book is suitable for individual reading, but could also be valuable for a small group study or as the basis for a sermon series.

Holistic Spirituality - Life Transforming Wisdom From The Letter Of James

de Bruce G. Epperly

5,29€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The book of James has gotten a bad rap amongst Christians, especially modern protestants. It''s often considered not as theologically serious as the writings of Paul, nor as gracious as the gospels. For some it''s too works-oriented, for others just a bit obscure. Some have even questioned whether it is truly a Christian book. Let''s face it. You''re much more likely to see a seminary course on Romans or Galatians than on James, or to hear a sermon, for that matter!Bruce Epperly doesn''t agree with that perspective. Not only does he think James has something important to say about the way we live as 21st century Christians, just as it did for 1st century Christians, but he also doesn''t think James is in opposition to Paul. He suspects the two apostles would have had no difficulty with each other''s theology.In this third volume of the Topical Line Drives series, he aims to direct readers to the important message of this little book for contemporary Christians. He provides a fresh orientation and focus to understanding the message.Once you''ve read his thoughts you''ll likely never read James in the same way again. Certainly, you won''t dismiss it.

Ruth And Esther - Women Of Agency And Adventure

de Bruce G Epperly

5,29€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 How does one read the literature of a patriarchal society in a 21st century context? Where can one find good role models for girls and women in the Bible? All too often these questions are answered by presenting the answers given by patriarchal society and not by looking for liberating, examples. It is all too easy to let God''s message of setting the captives free ring forth, but directed to a limited audience. But Ruth and Esther provide strong counter-examples of women who had to struggle against the cultural norms in order to live and to do great things for their people. All too often these women are excluded from our studies or when included are portrayed as subordinate people. But Dr. Bruce Epperly, pastor, father, grandfather, and theology sees them as women of agency and adventure, resourceful and proactive women in patriarchal cultures. But despite being subject to the apparently arbitrary decisions of males with authority, both women were agents in their destiny fulfilling their vocations in their particular culture. If you are a Christian pastor or teacher, you owe it to those in your circle of influence to let them experience these two Bible books in new ways, to see them as liberating documents that let everyone know that God doesn''t exclude them. From these women of agency and adventure, those who find themselves excluded from power can find encouragement to stand up and be the persons of agency and adventure that God created them to be, no matter what restrictions others have placed upon them.

These are just three in the list of too many diagnoses that cause the lives of the patient and their caregivers to tilt in the unexpected storm.This put me in a role in which I don''t think I really have ever excelled at. I''m the big strong daddy, the strong and determined husband. I''m the intellectual, the rational, the factual person. I''m the one who thrives on logic and reasonable, predictable progression. Emotions need to be subject to the mind. Me? Give compassionate, loving, gentle care to someone dealing with a serious illness? Don''t make me laugh. And yet, that is where I found myself. My choice was reduced, then, not to whether I''d be a caregiver, but more what kind of caregiver I''d be. - Robert Martin The Beatitudes from Christ''s Sermon on the Mount are more than beautiful, even puzzling words. They can be your anchor when the waves roll and the winds howl.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Holy Communion, the Lord''s Supper, or the Eucharist are some of the names used to signify what is arguably the center of our worship as Christians."Although the Eucharist may stand at the center of Christian worship, there are a great variety of theologies and practices present within the Christian community. For some it is a mere memorial of Jesus'' last supper with his disciples. For others it is the place where one not only encounters Jesus'' spiritual presence, but consumes his true body and true blood under the signs of bread and wine. Although rooted in the practices of the early Christians, time has witnessed considerable evolution, and with evolution comes diversity of practice and belief," says author, Dr. Robert Cornwall.This newest addition to the Topical Line Drives series offers a rich but brief stimulus for us to converse about our differences in theology and practice. It is Dr. Cornwall''s hope that such conversations will increase our joy in the experience of this sacrament given to us by Jesus Christ.
