Book Synopsis Redemptive Kingdom Diversity by : Jarvis J. Williams
Download or read book Redemptive Kingdom Diversity written by Jarvis J. Williams and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive biblical and theological survey of the people of God in the Old and New Testaments, offering insights for today's transformed and ethnically diverse church. Jarvis Williams explains that God's people have always been intended to be a diverse community. From Genesis to Revelation, God has intended to restore humanity's vertical relationship with God, humanity's horizontal relationship with one another, and the entire creation through Jesus. Through Jesus, both Jew and gentile are reconciled to God and together make up a transformed people. Williams then applies his biblical and theological analysis to selected aspects of the current conversation about race, racism, and ethnicity, explaining what it means to be the church in today's multiethnic context. He argues that the church should demonstrate redemptive kingdom diversity, for it has been transformed into a new community that is filled with many diverse ethnic communities.

Book Synopsis The Universal Christ by : Richard Rohr
Download or read book The Universal Christ written by Richard Rohr and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.
Book Synopsis A Christian Theology on Man’s Need of Redemption, God’s Redemptive Purpose, and Christ’s Redemptive Work by : Dr. John Thomas Wylie
Download or read book A Christian Theology on Man’s Need of Redemption, God’s Redemptive Purpose, and Christ’s Redemptive Work written by Dr. John Thomas Wylie and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, “A Christian Theology On Man’s Need Of Redemption, God’s Redemptive Purpose And Christ’s Redemptive Work,” is proposed to cover commonly three points in the field of Christian doctrine. I understand the treatment is insufficient. The idea of the subject blocks sufficiency. Who could give a sufficient treatment to such a subject? There are radical and quick changes occurring in the field of theology. One endeavors the supposition that the vast majority of the progressions are currently the correct way. Men are turning their contemplations toward the need and reality of revelation, of man’s wrongdoing (sin) and powerlessness of both the individual and social disappointment of man without God, of the sufficiency of God’s grace for man’s need, and of the centrality of Jesus Christ and his saving work for mankind’s history. The matter of Christian religious theology is to analyze and set out as exactly as possible, precisely as could be allowed; how God saves men in this truly evil world, not to hypothesize about what God would have done in an entirely different sort of world. It ought to be recalled that theology is concerned, first, last and constantly, with the character of God. Theology is concerned about nothing else other than to express how God saves men in an evil world. Man does not live by bread alone. It is increasingly essential that man have something to live for than that he have something to live on; and existence without God isn’t true life. Present day man needs to confront that reality and acknowledge it. No mention of the work of the “Holy Spirit,” is mentioned for it is covered in a previous publication, entitled: “The Holy Spirit.” Finally, Reverend Dr. Wylie is devoted to publishing books that spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, helping Christians to live as per that gospel, advance restoration, revival in the church, give testimony regarding Jesus Christ, Christian Unity and Fellowship in Christian Love.
Book Synopsis Redemptive Almsgiving in Early Christianity by : Roman Garrison
Download or read book Redemptive Almsgiving in Early Christianity written by Roman Garrison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the light of the New Testament's conviction that Jesus Christ died for sins, and that the Cross is a 'once for all' act that makes the Temple cult unnecessary, this challenging work probes the reasons for the emerging doctrine of redemptive almsgiving in early Christianity. Do the New Testament writers themselves (even Jesus!) implicitly endorse the view that a 'supplementary' or alternative means of atonement is necessary? What is the background of this theme in Graeco-Roman sources and in the Hebrew Bible? What are the principal texts in early Christian literature that advocate almsgiving as a 'ransom' for sin? These questions firmly govern this investigation of the social and theological forces that gave legitimacy to a doctrine that at first appears to contradict the primary New Testament soteriology, namely that the death of Jesus Christ is the exclusive means of redemption from sin.
Download or read book Redemptive Change written by R. R. Reno and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-04-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Change is a daily fact of life, one that people often have a hard time embracing. But when change does come, people do want it to be meaningful to them and to have some enduring value for their lives. In Redemptive Change, R. R. Reno argues that modern culture fails to offer people the hope of meaningful and enduring change. He shows how modern philosophers have argued that people are self-sufficient, that they do not need God to complete their identities, and that whatever changes they experience are momentary and of no ultimate significance. Countering modern philosophy, Reno contends that the only meaningful change occurs in Christ. At the moment of atonement, people experience an enduring change that has momentous consequences for their lives. We matter, he says, only insofar as we are more dependent upon and changed by Christ. R. R. Reno is Associate Professor of Theology, Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska, and co-author of Heroism and the Christian Life: Reclaiming Excellence.

Book Synopsis Educating for Redemptive Community by : Denise Janssen
Download or read book Educating for Redemptive Community written by Denise Janssen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus made claims about redemptive community throughout his ministry when he called people to extravagant grace. Even in the midst of the oppression of his day, Jesus preached and taught that redemptive community was possible if his followers would simply stop hoarding, hiding, and excluding. What a prophetic word for today in the midst of modern day oppression and fears of scarcity! In this edited volume, in honor of religious education scholars Jack Seymour and Margaret Ann Crain, eight of their PhD advisees--each scholars in their own right--join Seymour and Crain to lay out their vision of redemptive community. Rooted in their own scholarship, each contributor proposes ways in which Jesus' vision of redemptive community can become reality in churches and congregations, and in our larger world. In addition to essays by Jack Seymour and Margaret Ann Crain, scholars contributing to this volume include Dori Grinenko Baker, Reginald Blount, Evelyn L. Parker, Mai-Anh Le Tran, Leah Gunning Francis, Carmichael Crutchfield, Debora B.A. Junker, and Denise Janssen. The foreword by Mary Elizabeth Moore and afterword by Seymour and Crain set the volume in the larger context of the church and academy.

Book Synopsis Redemptive Suffering in Islam by : Mahmoud M. Ayoub
Download or read book Redemptive Suffering in Islam written by Mahmoud M. Ayoub and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems– both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.

This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God’s heart is redemptive in nature. God never quits on what He starts. He loves and saves to the uttermost, no matter what the cost. God always seeks to redeem and bring things back to Himself. We are called to be like Him, and hence our approach to life situations and to the problems we face must be redemptive as well. In this study, our goal is to understand and capture the redemptive heart of God, so that we will learn to view life’s situations with His redemptive eyes and learn to be coworkers with God in His redemptive process for things in our own lives as well as those around us. God’s redemptive process involves key elements of Time, Sacrifice, Forgiveness, and Restoration. We are here to be co-workers with God in this redemptive process. We must work with God, recognizing and following each element of His redemptive process, as He works to redeem things in our lives, as well as when we co-labor with Him to see His redemptive work take place in other people’s lives. What is it that you want God to redeem in your life? God is your Redeemer. Nothing is beyond His ability to redeem. You can look to Him in faith, no matter what your circumstances are and experience His redemptive work. This book will help you do this.

Book Synopsis George W. Bush and the Redemptive Dream by : Dan P. McAdams
Download or read book George W. Bush and the Redemptive Dream written by Dan P. McAdams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George W. Bush remains a highly controversial figure, a man for whom millions of Americans have very strong feelings. Dan McAdams' book offers an astute psychological portrait of Bush, one of the first biographies to appear since he left office as well as the first to draw systematically from personality science to analyze his life. McAdams, an international leader in personality psychology and the narrative study of lives, focuses on several key events in Bush's life, such as the death of his sister at age 7, his commitment to sobriety on his 40th birthday, and his reaction to the terrorist attacks of September 11, and his decision to invade Iraq. He sheds light on Bush's life goals, the story he constructed to make sense of his life, and the psychological dynamics that account for his behavior. Although there are many popular biographies of George W. Bush, McAdams' is the first true psychological analysis based on established theories and the latest research. Short and focused, written in an engaging style, this book offers a truly penetrating look at our forty-third president.
