This book was released on 2008-11-25 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking the Shackles by Samson Gitau examines Paul's Epistle to the Galatians from contemporary perspectives. The Galatians, the first group of converts in Asia Minor, were weighed down and imprisoned by a heavy baggage, a carry over from their fickle heathen practices.The baggage hindered the galatians in their attempts to embrace the christian life of grace and freedom. They fell easy prey to the Judaizing Christians with their insistence that to be Christian one had first to be Jewish, be circumcised and adhere to the Mosaic traditions. Having been liberated by the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Galatians were imprisoning themselves all over again. Enraged by the sudden departure of his converts from the faith he had preached to them, Paul wrote to the Galatians reprimanding them for their unbecoming and foolish conduct. The behavior of the Galatians finds parallels in contemporary Christian life. Gitau examines some of these practices citing examples from his experiences as a priest in Kenya and in the United States.
Book Synopsis The Theology of Paul's Letter to the Galatians by : James D. G. Dunn
Download or read book The Theology of Paul's Letter to the Galatians written by James D. G. Dunn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-09-09 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul's Letter to the Galatians is one of the fiercest and most polemical writings in the Bible. That is what makes it, for the author of this study, such an exciting document to deal with. It emerges from the early days of a vigorous new movement (Christianity), when basic principles were first being formulated, and when the whole character of the movement was at stake. In the pages of Galatians we witness fundamental features of Christian theology taking shape before our eyes, where the living heart of Paul's gospel is encountered. For James D. G. Dunn there is an elemental quality about the letter, to which those tired of compromising half-truths are drawn when they feel the impulse to return to first principles. This book, which benefits from this perspective on Paul, explains more clearly than hitherto both the issues which confronted Paul and the powerful theological arguments he brought to bear in response, and casts light on a document still capable of shaping lives and theology today.
Download or read book Pitfalls written by Samson N. Gitau and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pitfalls: A Case for College Ministry by Samson Gitau points out that College ministry is the new volunteer for Church growth and leadership development. The glaring dearth of young adults in Church today is symptomatic of Church decline. Gitau compares the Church's failure to invest in young adults to the foolish builder who built his house upon the sand with dire consequences when finally the rains and storms attacked it. Investment in young adults is an asset and never a liability to the Church. Tapping on his experience of more than ten years in college ministry, Gitau presents a variety of college ministry models and programs. College student voices presented in this book allow students say firsthand what college ministry means to them. Expostulating on his personal experience, Gitau exposes pitfalls to be avoided for effective college ministry.
Download or read book Without Cause written by Samson N. Gitau and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without Cause: Job Finds God in Pain and Suffering by Dr. Samson N. Gitau explores the unsettling problem of pain and suffering. Coping with pain and suffering, whether our own or of those close to us, is most unsettling. More so when sold to the ancient theology of retribution that pain and suffering are punitive or to the modern heresy that we are somehow exempted from pain, suffering, poverty and all just because we are good and God-fearing persons. Tapping on his personal experience as a stroke survivor, his pastoral ministry and teaching career as a college professor in humanities, and particularly his studies in the book of Job, Dr. Gitau explores the Book of Job as a paradigm of human suffering. Every human being will have, at one time or another, deal with pain, suffering, and eventual demise. Its not a question of if but when. Rather than rush to the question Why me? or even indict God for our suffering, its more plausible to ask ourselves, What lessons does God want us to learn from the most trying experiences of our lives? More importantly, be assured that God bears the anguish of our pain and walks with us as we face the fiery ordeals of our lives.

Gitau highlights, Samson's story, from rural Matharite village in Central Kenya, his education, career, as high school teacher, parish priest, principal of bible college, director of Theological Education by Extension, and college professor.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to St Paul by : James D. G. Dunn
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to St Paul written by James D. G. Dunn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-16 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostle Paul has been justifiably described as the first and greatest Christian theologian. His letters were among the earliest documents to be included in the New Testament and, as such, they shaped Christian thinking from the beginning. As a missionary, theologian and pastor Paul's own wrestling with theological and ethical questions of his day is paradigmatic for Christian theology, not least for Christianity's own identity and continuing relationship with Judaism. The Cambridge Companion to St Paul provides an important assessment of this apostle and a fresh appreciation of his continuing significance today. With eighteen chapters written by a team of leading international specialists on Paul, the Companion provides a sympathetic and critical overview of the apostle, covering his life and work, his letters and his theology. The volume will provide an invaluable starting point and helpful cross check for subsequent studies.

Book Synopsis Global Perspectives on the Reformation by : Anne Burkhardt
Download or read book Global Perspectives on the Reformation written by Anne Burkhardt and published by Evangelische Verlagsanstalt. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixteenth-century Reformation transformed the church and society at large and its key theological insights had a concrete impact on the socio-political and economic spheres. Luther and his fellow reformers reconfigured Christian theology as they explored the liberating concept of justification by grace through faith as a core axiom of theological reflection. Lutheran and other churches of the Reformation continue to be empowered, informed and inspired by these insights, also with regard to their public role in today's societies. In light of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, eminent theologians and scholars from all parts of the world offer their insights into the interaction between theological thinking, economics and politics in the twenty-first century. [Globale Sichtweisen auf die Reformation. Wechselwirkungen zwischen Theologie, Politik und Wirtschaft] Im 16. Jahrhundert fand eine grundlegende Transformation von Kirche und Gesellschaft durch das Ereignis der Reformation statt. Die entscheidenden theologischen Erkenntnisse hatten konkrete Auswirkungen auf sozio-politische und wirtschaftliche Bereiche. Luther und seine Mitstreiter schrieben die christliche Theologie neu, als sie das Konzept der Rechtfertigung durch die Gnade Gottes allein durch den Akt des Glaubens zur Kernaussage ihrer theologischen Überlegungen machten. Lutherische und andere reformatorische Kirchen werden nach wie vor durch diese Erkenntnisse bestärkt, geleitet und inspiriert, vor allem in Anbetracht ihrer öffentlichen Rolle in der heutigen Gesellschaft. Im Hinblick auf das Reformationsjubiläum teilen bedeutende Theologen und Gelehrte aus aller Welt ihre Erkenntnisse zu den Wechselwirkungen zwischen theologischem Denken, Wirtschaft und Politik im 21. Jahrhundert.

Book Synopsis The Varieties of Religious Experience by : William James
Download or read book The Varieties of Religious Experience written by William James and published by The Floating Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvard psychologist and philosopher William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature explores the nature of religion and, in James' observation, its divorce from science when studied academically. After publication in 1902 it quickly became a canonical text of philosophy and psychology, remaining in print through the entire century. "Scientific theories are organically conditioned just as much as religious emotions are; and if we only knew the facts intimately enough, we should doubtless see 'the liver' determining the dicta of the sturdy atheist as decisively as it does those of the Methodist under conviction anxious about his soul. When it alters in one way the blood that percolates it, we get the Methodist, when in another way, we get the atheist form of mind."
