Book Synopsis The Pattern of Christian Truth by : H. E. W. Turner
Download or read book The Pattern of Christian Truth written by H. E. W. Turner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-10-29 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Bauer's 'Orthodoxy and Heresy in Earliest Christianity' created a stir with its argument that the teachings later condemned as heresy, in the later second century onward, were, in fact, dominant in the earliest decades of the church. This full-scale response by H. E. W. Turner has not enjoyed the attention it deserves. Turner's volume represents a learned and sophisticated restatement of the traditional view: what became official orthodoxy was taught early on by the majority of church teachers, albeit not in fully developed form.
Book Synopsis Faith-Integrated Being, Knowing, and Doing by : Sarinah Lo
Download or read book Faith-Integrated Being, Knowing, and Doing written by Sarinah Lo and published by Langham Monographs. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this holistic study of the integration of faith and learning, Dr. Sarinah Lo challenges the Western tendency to privilege knowing over being and doing. In the context of Indonesian higher education, Dr. Lo addresses the cognitive, affective, spiritual, relational, and vocational aspects of human nature. She demonstrates that effective integration of faith and learning must reach beyond the academic disciplines to address the formation of a Christian perspective in all areas of life, thought, and practice. Utilizing in-depth interviews and qualitative analysis, Dr. Lo’s field research explores the specific challenges facing Christian faculty in Indonesia, where the rise of radical Islam and the pressure to conform to state ideology raise unique questions about the nature of faith-learning integration. The first study of its kind, this is an excellent resource for educators wanting to think more broadly about what it means to follow Christ in the classroom, pushing beyond Western models of integration to embrace the more holistic approach of faith-integrated being, knowing, and doing.
Book Synopsis A Critical Examination of the Doctrine of Revelation in Evangelical Theology by : Carisa A. Ash
Download or read book A Critical Examination of the Doctrine of Revelation in Evangelical Theology written by Carisa A. Ash and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How God reveals himself is an important matter for Christians, especially evangelicals. For too long, Carisa Ash contends, evangelicals have rightly affirmed that God reveals through the created world, but then they functionally neglect such revelation. In this monograph Ash offers a corrective to this practice by presenting a theology of revelation that explores the commonalities between various forms of revelation (world, written and spoken word, and Incarnate Word). Particularly aimed at theologians interested in theological method, Ash's study will also benefit people interested in faith and learning or interdisciplinary integration. Ash argues that evangelicals must strive to align more closely their affirmations and their practice. Her critique of current practices in theological method and integration, along with the proposed theology of revelation, are designed to help move the conversation forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teaching and Christian Practices several university professors describe and reflect on their efforts to allow historic Christian practices to reshape and redirect their pedagogical strategies. Whether allowing spiritually formative reading to enhance a literature course, employing table fellowship and shared meals to reinforce concepts in a pre-nursing nutrition course, or using Christian hermeneutical practices to interpret data in an economics course, these teacher-authors envision ways of teaching and learning that are rooted in the rich tradition of Christian practices, as together they reconceive classrooms and laboratories as vital arenas for faith and spiritual growth.

Book Synopsis Teaching for Spiritual Formation by : Kyle R. Hughes
Download or read book Teaching for Spiritual Formation written by Kyle R. Hughes and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teaching for Spiritual Formation, church historian and experienced Christian educator Kyle R. Hughes advances a fresh vision of Christian teaching and learning by drawing upon the riches of the Christian tradition, synthesizing the wisdom of the early church fathers with contemporary efforts to cultivate a distinctively Christian approach to education. Of interest to a wide range of Christian educators, this book examines how the writings of five significant church fathers can illuminate our understanding of the vocation of teachers, the nature of students, the purpose of curriculum, decisions about pedagogy, and how spiritual formation works. Besides reimagining these aspects of Christian education, Hughes also offers habits and practices that can help bring this vision of Christian teaching and learning to life, challenging Christian educators to sharpen their approach to the integration of faith and learning in practical and accessible ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a respected Bible teacher, Kasey Van Norman had dedicated her life to sharing God’s Word and encouraging women to trust in God during times of crisis.

Book Synopsis Worldview as Worship by : Eddie Karl Baumann
Download or read book Worldview as Worship written by Eddie Karl Baumann and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of many evangelical educators is to facilitate biblical thinking and the worldview transformation of their students. Yet, aside from upholding a set of moral behaviors or maintaining positions on issues perceived to be "Christian," the goals and aspirations of most evangelical young people differ little from their unbelieving peers. As George Barna has noted, "We have a generation coming up that . . . isn't looking at Christianity to answer spiritual concerns . . . We either change or we lose them." Worldview as Worship contends that the approach taken by most evangelical educators to the issue of worldview transformation has neglected to address two fundamental components of worldviews. First, that our initial worldviews are not philosophical systems but rather faith dispositions and that worldview transformation cannot simply present the biblical worldview as a more rational or logical system, but must address issues of the heart as well as the mind. Second, unlike philosophies that are individual, worldviews are communal and are learned and transformed within the context of community practice. Appealing to Paul's teaching in Romans 12:1-2, Worldview as Worship approaches the "renewing of your mind" as the result of the believer's presentation of themselves as a "holy sacrifice . . . which is your spiritual service of worship." The book advocates an approach to worldview transformation that focuses on believers as apprentices rather than simply as students--an approach that holds true to the biblical model of discipleship. As a result, worldview transformation works best when the application of faith to the issues of learning and life are modeled by the faith community and where students are given the opportunity to put faith into practice.
Book Synopsis The Idea of a Christian School by : Tom Stoner
Download or read book The Idea of a Christian School written by Tom Stoner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought about the difference attending a Christian school might make for your child or grandchild? What really makes a Christian school different from public schools and other kinds of private schools? How do Christian schools impact the way children understand the world? The ideas that come immediately to most people’s minds when they think about a Christian school are far from a complete picture. A deeper consideration of the many ways a Christian school is designed to help children flourish in their lives will help parents and caregivers to better understand why the selection of a school matters. The Idea of a Christian School is an introduction to foundational ideas that contribute to the distinctive mission of Christian schooling and a valuable resource for parents and schools.
