Book Synopsis Rediscovering the Reformation by : Matthew Knell
Download or read book Rediscovering the Reformation written by Matthew Knell and published by Monarch Books. This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will approach the Reformation from the perspective on last year's Spring Harvest theme, 'One in Christ', and therefore look not at how or why the church split, or whether the church should have split, but from the perspective that the church cannot split because it is Christ's one body. From this basis, the book will explore themes of Christianity such as the church, attitude to scripture and faith, belief, grace and works seeking wisdom from each of the incarnations of the church that resulted from the disagreements of the sixteenth century.

Book Synopsis Rediscovering the Natural Law in Reformed Theological Ethics by : Stephen J. Grabill
Download or read book Rediscovering the Natural Law in Reformed Theological Ethics written by Stephen J. Grabill and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2006-10-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is knowledge of right and wrong written on the human heart? Do people know God from the world around them? Does natural knowledge contribute to Christian doctrine? While these questions of natural theology and natural law have historically been part of theological reflection, the radical reliance of twentieth-century Protestant theologians on revelation has eclipsed this historic connection. Stephen Grabill attempts the treacherous task of reintegrating Reformed Protestant theology with natural law by appealing to Reformation-era theologians such as John Calvin, Peter Martyr Vermigli, Johannes Althusius, and Francis Turretin, who carried over and refined the traditional understanding of this key doctrine. Rediscovering the Natural Law in Reformed Theological Ethics calls Christian ethicists, theologians, and laypersons to take another look at this vital element in the history of Christian ethical thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: McGrath shows that we look to the Reformers for our theology but fail to grasp the profound spirituality that stands at the heart of that theology.

Book Synopsis The Kingdom Reformation by : Derek Morphew
Download or read book The Kingdom Reformation written by Derek Morphew and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom Reformation is the third in a trilogy on the kingdom of God: the mission and message of Jesus. The other two publications are Breakthrough: Discovering the Kingdom (a biblical theology) and Demonstrating the Kingdom (a practical theology). The trilogy forms the core of a larger project on kingdom theology which Derek Morphew has been developing over decades. It traces the roots of kingdom theology to four key factors that have emerged in the post Second World War era. They are, 1. The discovery and availability of the literature of Second Temple Judaism (the Dead Sea Scrolls, 1947).2. The post holocaust review of Protestantism and the emergence of a Jewish-Christian dialogue.3. The shift from modernism to postmodernism, leading to a review of the historical method as applied to the New Testament.4. The consensus position of inaugurated eschatology, namely that Jesus taught that the kingdom of God was both future (apocalyptic, or end of the age) and present in his ministry. These four factors have led to the emergence of a fresh departure in the long history of Christian theology, which is so fundamental (like a Reformation) that everything must be reviewed. To rediscover Jesus is to review the entire history of theology, including orthodoxy and the Reformation, without rejecting either of them. While this fresh departure is growing and widely represented today, applying kingdom theology to mission and praxis has taken place particularly in the post-Wimber charismatic or "third wave" tradition, in a number of young and growing missional and church planting movement.
Book Synopsis Rediscovering the Church Fathers by : Michael A. G. Haykin
Download or read book Rediscovering the Church Fathers written by Michael A. G. Haykin and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-03-02 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the church today looks quite different than it did two thousand years ago, Christians share the same faith with the church fathers. Although separated by time and culture, we have much to learn from their lives and teaching. This book is an organized and convenient introduction to how to read the church fathers from AD 100 to 500. Michael Haykin surveys the lives and teachings of seven of the Fathers, looking at their role in such issues as baptism, martyrdom, and the relationship between church and state. Ignatius, Cyprian, Basil of Caesarea, and Ambrose and others were foundational in the growth and purity of early Christianity, and their impact continues to shape the church today. Evangelical readers interested in the historical roots of Christianity will find this to be a helpful introductory volume.

Download or read book Rediscovering Joy written by Tim Chester and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title, Rediscovered Joy, derives from Galatians 4:15 (NLT). The Galatians had lost the joy of God's blessing because they had departed from the truths of the gospel. The Reformation - and the book - is an invitation to rediscover the joy of the gospel. Despite the common claim that the Reformation is either out-dated or divisive, its rediscovery of the apostolic message was a rediscovery of joy - a message that is as relevant today as it was 500 years ago and 2,000 years ago. The book will be different to Why the Reformation Still Matters as it will be much lighter with more focus on biblical exposition and pastoral application. Contents 1. How to hear God's voice - Galatians 1 Reformation link: Scripture alone 2. How to win God's approval - Galatians 2 Reformation link: justification by faith alone through Christ alone 3. How to recognise God's people- Galatians 3 & 4:21-31 Reformation link: the marks of a true church 4. How to enjoy God's love - Galatians 4 Reformation link: the work of the Spirit 5. How to do God's will - Galatians 5-6 Reformation link: gospel virtue
Book Synopsis The Reformation of the Church by : Iain Murray
Download or read book The Reformation of the Church written by Iain Murray and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature and life of the church is one of the most crucial issues facing Christians in the closing years of the twentieth century. Questions of ministry and liturgy, authority and freedom, appear in a wide variety of guises throughout the world-wide church. Relativism and uncertainty seem to be as common in the church as in the world. Many Christians wonder whether there is any way forward. In this context, The Reformation of the Church is an invaluable aid. An anthology of documents, drawn largely but not exclusively from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it presents in a readily accessible form the finest thinking of the reformed fathers on authority and freedom, the need for reformation, the nature of the government, unity and membership of the church of Jesus Christ. Warmly welcomed when first published in 1965, and widely use since then, these documents provide invaluable material for ministers, elders, leaders, students and all Christians who are concerned to see Christ's church fulfill her God-given role at a critical juncture in her history.
Book Synopsis Rediscovering the Holy Spirit by : Michael Horton
Download or read book Rediscovering the Holy Spirit written by Michael Horton and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Spirit, being somewhat forgotten is an occupational hazard. The Holy Spirit is so actively involved in our lives that we can take his presence for granted. As they say, familiarity breeds contempt. Just as we take breathing for granted, we can take the Holy Spirit for granted simply because we constantly depend on him. Like the cane that soon feels like an extension of the blind man’s own body, we too easily begin to think of the Holy Spirit as an extension of ourselves. Yet the Spirit is at the center of the action in the divine drama from Genesis 1:2 all the way to Revelation 22:17. The Spirit’s work is as essential as the Father’s and the Son’s, yet the Spirit’s work is always directed to the person and work of Christ. In fact, the efficacy of the Holy Spirit’s mission is measured by the extent to which we are focused on Christ. The Holy Spirit is the person of the Trinity who brings the work of the Father, in the Son, to completion. In everything that the Triune God performs, this perfecting work is characteristic of the Spirit. In Rediscovering the Holy Spirit, author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton introduces readers to the neglected person of the Holy Spirit, showing that the work of God’s Spirit is far more ordinary and common than we realize. Horton argues that we need to take a step back every now and again to focus on the Spirit himself—his person and work—in order to recognize him as someone other than Jesus or ourselves, much less something in creation. Through this contemplation we can gain a fresh dependence on the Holy Spirit in every area of our lives.
Book Synopsis Reformed Catholicity by : Michael Allen
Download or read book Reformed Catholicity written by Michael Allen and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Christians and churches be both catholic and Reformed? In this volume, two accomplished young theologians argue that to be Reformed means to go deeper into true catholicity rather than away from it. Their manifesto for a catholic and Reformed approach to dogmatics seeks theological renewal through retrieval of the rich resources of the historic Christian tradition. The book provides a survey of recent approaches toward theological retrieval and offers a renewed exploration of the doctrine of sola scriptura. It includes a substantive afterword by J. Todd Billings.
Book Synopsis Rediscovering the Protestant Reformation in African American Worship by : Eddie Anthony Robinson
Download or read book Rediscovering the Protestant Reformation in African American Worship written by Eddie Anthony Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations are fundamental. Whether in the structure of a building, developing the mind, or establishing the faith, foundations are critical. The five solas of the Protestant Reformation are foundational to the Christian faith. When thinking of the Reformation and the five solas it produced, Psalm 11:3 comes to mind. This passage reads, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do” (Psalm 11:3, King James Version)? Today’s church needs to return to its foundations. This study argues that the five solas are a firm and solid foundation for the church. During the turbulent times of the Reformation, they held the church together. The Catholic church, like today’s church, got off course, off-centered, and strayed away from doctrinal truths. In the words of the Apostle Paul, “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God” (Romans 10:3, KJV). While God has given the church truth and righteousness, there are times when the church becomes complacent and moves away from it. Today’s church, especially the African American church, needs to go back to the foundations. During the Reformation, the solas were instrumental in leading the people back to the truths of the Bible. As a result, restoration and reformation took place. The five solas: sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone), sola fide (Faith Alone), sola gratia (Grace Alone), solus Christus (Christ Alone), soli Deo Gloria (God’s Glory Alone) are fundamental doctrines that can help the church regain her footing.

Book excerpt: What is the state of the church? There is a resurgence of what Charles Spurgeon called, "The Doctrines of Grace." Are these doctrines something to be avoided or encouraged? Pastors are being fired, accused of being "Calvinists." What is a Calvinist? Are these pastors part of the problem in the church or are they exposing the problems? In this book, Chris Twilley shares an experience that he had as a Baptist pastor that the Lord used to set him on The Road to Reformation. Are there some traditions that need to be abandoned in order to embrace a more biblical paradigm? Do not read this book if you are not ready to re-examine the established traditions in a typical Baptist church.
Book Synopsis Rescuing the Gospel by : Erwin W. Lutzer
Download or read book Rescuing the Gospel written by Erwin W. Lutzer and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Riveting Story of the Reformation and Its Significance Today The Reformation unfolded in the cathedrals and town squares of Europe--in Wittenberg, Worms, Rome, Geneva, and Zurich--and it is a stirring story of courage and cowardice, of betrayal and faith. The story begins with the Catholic Church and its desperate need for reform. The dramatic events that followed are traced from John Wycliffe in England, to the burning of John Hus at the stake in Prague, to the rampant sale of indulgences in the cities and towns of Germany, to Martin Luther nailing the Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in 1517, to John Calvin's reform of Geneva. Erwin Lutzer captures the people, places, and big ideas that fueled the Reformation and explains its lasting influence on the church and Western Civilization.
