Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuing the epic story of the struggle between poor and rich as told in the first volume of The Ecclesiastical Chronicles, Raymond Gordons new novel, The Society, returns to the polished pews of St. Patricks Church in the village of Abersthwaithe on the small island of Ischalton. Following the scandalous inability of the Board of Advisers to the Vestry to honor their financial commitment to build a new, improved church in nearby Brewsters Village, the Bishop has made the group defunct. Even so, the members who formed the board, along with their newly recruited henchmen, continue their surreptitious plan to eradicate the stench of serfdom from St. Patricks Church. Personal conflicts, the quest for acceptance, concupiscence, the struggle for control, and civil war among the peasants once again cast their dark, sinister shadows over the church, thus proving that although pious humans may have a greater proclivity to moral rectitude, they nevertheless possess an innate and ironic propensity to degeneracy. The Ecclesiastical Chronicles offers a profound and sobering look at how hypocrisy and self-righteousness can destroy the foundation of Christs work, resulting in misery for all.
Book Synopsis Church History, Volume Two: From Pre-Reformation to the Present Day by : John D. Woodbridge
Download or read book Church History, Volume Two: From Pre-Reformation to the Present Day written by John D. Woodbridge and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Church History, Volume Two chronicles the events, the triumphs, and the struggles of the Christian movement from the years leading up to the Reformation through the next five centuries to the present-day. Looking closely at the integral link between the history of the world and that of the church, Church History paints a portrait of God's people within the context of the times, cultures, and developments that both influenced and were influenced by the church. FEATURES: Maps, charts, and illustrations spanning the time from the thirteenth century to today. Explanations of all the major denominational movements, traditions, and schisms during and after the Reformation. Overviews of the Christian movement in Africa, eastern Europe, Asia, and Latin America to cover the scope of the ecumenical environment of the twenty-first century. Insights into the role and influence of politics, culture and societal norms, and technology on the Western church. Unbiased details on the major theological controversies and issues of each period. AUTHORS' PERSPECTIVE: Authors John D. Woodbridge and Frank A. James III wrote this history of the church from the perspective that such a history is the story of the greatest movement and community the world has known—as imperfect as it still is. It's a human story of a divinely called people who want to live by a divine revelation. It's a story of how they succeeded and how they failed and of how they are still trying to live out their calling. From the Reformation theologians in Europe to the revivalists, apologists, and Christian thinkers all over the world, the historical figures detailed are people who have struggled with the meaning of the greatest event in history—the coming of the Son of God—and with their role in that event and in the lives of God's people.

Book excerpt: To the arrogant members of the board, lineage, wealth, and social status inherently guarantee their right to power and control. This group of privileged Anglicans citizens from the village of Abersthwaithe on the small island of Ischalton believe they can use their elevated role to govern over those they consider insignificant. One lone group stands against them. The legal officers of St. Patrick's church in the village struggle to retain their authority against the board, but it is a fight that will take immense strength. The board employs every form of moral turpitude possible in its quest for victory. They lure the people from surrounding villages the very people they despise to help them gnaw at the fabric which binds them together as a church and as a community. The betrayal, adultery, and murder among the members of the Board, juxtaposed with the ignorance, naiveté, and pitiable simplemindedness of the villagers, weaves a complex tapestry of circumstances which threaten to bring the steeple of contradiction crumbling to the ground and could forever alter the future of Abersthwaithe. The Ecclesiastical Chronicles is the first in a stunning new series by Raymond Gordon that explores how the relentless pursuit to fulfill ambition eventually leads to ultimate destruction.

Book Synopsis 1 and 2 Chronicles by : William Johnstone
Download or read book 1 and 2 Chronicles written by William Johnstone and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-part commentary argues that Chronicles, placed as it is among the 'historical books' in the traditional Old Testament of the Christian church, is much misunderstood. Restored to its proper position as the final book in the canon as arranged in the order of the Hebrew Bible, it is rather to be understood as a work of theology essentially directed towards the future. The Chronicler begins his work with the problem facing the whole human race in Adam-the forfeiture of the ideal of perfect oneness with God's purpose. He explores the possibility of the restoration of that ideal through Israel's place at the centre of the world of the nations. This portrayal reaches its climax in an idealized presentation of the reign of Solomon, in which all the rulers of the earth, including most famously the Queen of Sheba, bring their tribute in acknowledgment of Israel's status (Volume 1). As subsequent history only too clearly shows, however, the Chronicler argues (Volume 2), that Israel itself, through unfaithfulness to Torah, has forfeited its right to possession of its land and is cast adrift among these same nations of the world. But the Chronicler's message is one of hope. By a radical transformation of the chronology of Israel's past into theological terms, the generation whom the Chronicler addresses becomes the fiftieth since Adam. It is the generation to whom the jubilee of return to the land through a perfectly enabled obedience to Torah, and thus the restoration of the primal ideal of the human race, is announced.

Download or read book The Magician's Book written by Laura Miller and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2008-12-03 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enchanted by Narnia's fantastic world as a child, prominent critic Laura Miller returns to the series as an adult to uncover the source of these small books' mysterious power by looking at their creator, Clive Staples Lewis. What she discovers is not the familiar, idealized image of the author, but a more interesting and ambiguous truth: Lewis's tragic and troubled childhood, his unconventional love life, and his intense but ultimately doomed friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien. Finally reclaiming Narnia "for the rest of us," Miller casts the Chronicles as a profoundly literary creation, and the portal to a lifelong adventure in books, art, and the imagination.

Download or read book Sacred History written by J.R. Emry and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-08-17 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rescued from being a lost book, this history's last manuscript lay deep within the Vatican Archives, this classic historical text is now, for the first time, being published for the modern reader. Sulpicius Severus is best known for his biography of St. Martin of Tours and his Sacred History (also known as the Chronicle.) Sacred History is a brief history of the world from the beginning to his own time and in the latter portions focuses on the Priscillianist heresy that disordered his home province of Aquitaina which is in modern day France, as well as the Arian controversy. Severus prefers a purely historical interpretation of the scriptures in reaction to the gnostic philosophy that entrenched his region that reduced the sacred history to mere allegory. The Sacred History is written in classic style, such as what is found in Tacitus, and is intended to introduce lovers of history to the histories of the Bible.
