Book Synopsis Transubstantiation by : Brett Salkeld
Download or read book Transubstantiation written by Brett Salkeld and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoroughgoing study examines the doctrine of transubstantiation from historical, theological, and ecumenical vantage points. Brett Salkeld explores eucharistic presence in the theologies of Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin, showing that Christians might have more in common on this topic than they have typically been led to believe. As Salkeld corrects false understandings of the theology of transubstantiation, he shows that Luther and Calvin were much closer to the medieval Catholic tradition than is often acknowledged. The book includes a foreword by Michael Root.
Book Synopsis Come, Let Us Eat Together by : George Kalantzis
Download or read book Come, Let Us Eat Together written by George Kalantzis and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, we are called to seek the unity of the one body of Christ. But when it comes to the sacraments, the church has often been—and remains—divided. What are we to do? Can we still gather together at the same table? Based on the lectures from the 2017 Wheaton Theology Conference, this volume brings together the reflections of Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox theologians, who jointly consider what it means to proclaim the unity of the body of Christ in light of the sacraments. Without avoiding or downplaying the genuine theological and sacramental differences that exist between Christian traditions, what emerges is a thoughtful consideration of what it means to live with the difficult, elusive command to be one as the Father and the Son are one.
Book Synopsis Core Christianity by : Michael Horton
Download or read book Core Christianity written by Michael Horton and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Book Synopsis Evangelical, Sacramental, and Pentecostal by : Gordon T. Smith
Download or read book Evangelical, Sacramental, and Pentecostal written by Gordon T. Smith and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evangelical. Sacramental. Pentecostal. Christian communities tend to identify with one of these labels over the other two. Evangelical churches emphasize the importance of Scripture and preaching. Sacramental churches emphasize the importance of the eucharistic table. And pentecostal churches emphasize the immediate presence and power of the Holy Spirit. But must we choose between them? Could the church be all three? Drawing on his reading of the New Testament, the witness of Christian history, and years of experience in Christian ministry and leadership, Gordon T. Smith argues that the church not only can be all three, but in fact must be all three in order to truly be the church. As the church navigates the unique global challenges of pluralism, secularism, and fundamentalism, the need for an integrated vision of the community as evangelical, sacramental, and pentecostal becomes ever more pressing. If Jesus and the apostles saw no tension between these characteristics, why should we?

Book Synopsis Models of the Church by : Avery Dulles
Download or read book Models of the Church written by Avery Dulles and published by Image. This book was released on 2002-05-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is today a dramatic reexamination of structure, authority, dogma -- indeed, every aspect of the life of the Church is held up to scrutiny. Welcoming this as a sign of vitality, Avery Dulles has carefully studied the writings of contemporary Protestant and Catholic ecclesiologists and sifted out six major approaches, or "models," through which the Church's character can be understood: as Institution, Mystical Communion, Sacrament, Herald, Servant, and, in a recent addition to the book, as Community of Disciples. A balanced theology, he concludes, must incorporate the major affirmations of each. "The method of models or types," observes Cardinal Dulles, "can have great value in helping people to get beyond the limitations of their own particular outlook and to enter into fruitful conversation with others... Such conversation is obviously essential if ecumenism is to get beyond its present impasses." This new edition includes a new Appendix and Preface by the author.
Download or read book The Eucharist written by Rob Guinan and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THROUGHOUT BIBLICAL HISTORY EVERY COVENANT IS RATIFIED IN BLOOD." And He took the Chalice, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying "Drink of it, all of you; for this is My Blood of the Covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." (Matthew 26:27b)What was initiated intimately at the Last Supper Some claim that 'Transubstantiation' (as it is referred) wasn't 'invented' until the 12th or 13th century. That's true, the "word" may not have existed, but Transubstantiation actually took place at the Last Supper. St. Frances DeSales writes: "Do they wish to take away these words found in St. Luke's account (cf. 22:20) 'which shale be SHED for you' because the Greek text clearly shows that what was in the Chalice was not wine, but the true blood of Our Lord?" After all no one "sheds" grapes!THE EUCHARIST AS "THE SACRAMENT OF UNITY"Have you recently lost a loved one? Do you wonder if you will see them again? Will you one day in heaven be 'together' again? Are you still connected with them in some way? You need real answers. These questions deserve serious consideration, not trivializations, or arguments that don't hold a drop of water. Idle hopes and wishing thinking offer no real medicinal value. Seated at the right hand of the Father and pouring out the Holy Spirit on his body which is the Church, Christ now acts through the sacraments he instituted to communicate his graces. Setting aside any gnostic eloquence, we do more than imagine and hope. We are specially invited to touch and see. St. Alphonsus De Ligouri once said, "Oh what torrents of grace have the saints drawn from this fountain of the Most Blessed Sacrament."In this booklet, really only this layman's reflections, you'll read reasons why The Eucharist not only is true, but why "This" has-to-be true. This essay includes verses from Scripture, quotes from popes, ancient texts, teachings from the saints, and the everyday ponderings and concerns we all share. As a writer who has had articles in major periodicals, covering finance, film, and has written for major advertisers, I have shared these great truths of our faith as I have had access to some great theologians However, this is just an introduction. Great authors of the day are recommended in the Author's Notes section. Yet: "Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread." (1 Cor. 10:17) "So, we who are many, are one body in Christ." (Romans 12:5) "All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer.." (Acts 1:14)The Catechism offers: "There is no surer pledge or clearer sign of this great hope in the new heavens and the new earth 'in which righteousness dwells' than the Eucharist." (CCC 1405)Pope Benedict once said "With the Eucharist...heaven comes down to earth, the 'tomorrow of God' descends into the present and it is as if time remains embraced by 'divine eternity'." In other words there is a tomorrow -- after tomorrow! And that's good news! This treatment should give you some hope that you'll one day be with your loved ones once again.

Book Synopsis Cruciform Ecumenism by : Elizabeth Smith Woodard
Download or read book Cruciform Ecumenism written by Elizabeth Smith Woodard and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The truth claims of Christianity appear compromised by the division of Christ’s followers into different denominations. What keeps Christians separated, retreating to their corners labeled Catholic, Orthodox, and various types of Protestant? Elizabeth Smith Woodard accounts for Christian disunity in terms of ecclesiology, episcopacy, and apostolicity: in brief, Who are we? Who is in charge? And are we who we say we are? Woodard argues that the controversial issues dividing Christians today stem from these questions of authority and identity. What would it look like, Woodard asks, if Christians did not insist on making “others” more “like us,” but instead worked toward all of “us” becoming more and more like Christ? She answers that growing in such cruciformity should serve as the basis for unity. Using recent unity-achieving Anglican-Lutheran discussions as a case study, she examines the crucial intersection of ecclesiology, episcopacy, and apostolicity to argue that Christians’ growth in Christ’s mission necessarily entails growing in unity and cruciformity.
Book Synopsis The Sacrament of Desire by : Alex D. Suderman
Download or read book The Sacrament of Desire written by Alex D. Suderman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the political-theological implications of sacramental desire in Fyodor Dostoevsky`s The Brothers Karamazov with Friedrich Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra in critical dialogue with Henri de Lubac. Suderman demonstrates how the work of de Lubac, Dostoevsky, and Nietzsche address a transcendent desire for a higher social and political unity in late-modern Western cultures and the imperialistic and coercive tendencies latent within it, concretely expressed in the Western church and the modern state. Specifically, this book investigates how Dostoevsky and Nietzsche envision new forms of political embodiment that are neither escapist nor imperialist. Through a detailed examination of Zarathustra’s dramatic discovery of the eternal return and Alyosha’s mystical experience of the resurrection, Suderman demonstrates the metaphysical significance of their respective political ethics. While the intent of de Lubac is to recover the social implications of the sacraments of Roman Catholicism, Nietzsche and Dostoevsky espouse alternative articulations of community and the sacramental desire necessary for such embodiment, a desire rooted in their respective perceptions of God.
