Book Synopsis The Gospel, Freedom, and the Sacraments by : Barry Charles Newman
Download or read book The Gospel, Freedom, and the Sacraments written by Barry Charles Newman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be baptized, particularly as an adult, indicating a radical change from the self-directed life to the life to be lived under the lordship of Jesus Christ, must be one of the most dramatic experiences available to us. To take part in the Lord's Supper--remembering his death for us--must be one of the most moving services in which we could ever participate. But are these ceremonies obligatory for the believer? Did Jesus explicitly or implicitly make them mandatory? Does it not seem somewhat strange that the gospel, by which we are freed from the Law of Moses, demands that we abide by two new ceremonial laws? However greatly they differed from one another, did the reformers go far enough in examining the Scriptures to see what they did indeed say about such ceremonies? Have we written back into our understanding of Scripture that so much underlies our present beliefs and practices? Does an examination of what the early fathers thought help or hinder us in our search for the truth?
Book Synopsis Signs of Freedom by : German Martinez
Download or read book Signs of Freedom written by German Martinez and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern secular culture has severely eroded the religious foundations on which traditional sacramental practice was based. Built upon the sacramental bedrock, the very Christian identity and mission were affected. German Martinez looks at this challenge from the perspective of freedom as an opportunity to develop a sacramental worldview relevant to the new millennium. To this effect, he applies a series of methodologies and fresh pastoral approaches to the highly complex sacramental reality and to each individual sacrament. Beginning with ten key interpretative elements, he offers a coherent synthesis of the remarkable development of sacramental theology in our time. Envisioned for both scholarly research and pastoral ministry, this book presents the key issues of a renewed sacramentality--rooted in ordinary life and celebrated in the liturgical mystery. This theology is grounded in a biblical, patristic, historical and theological background. It tries to articulate especially the Christological, ecclesial, individual and social aspects of the celebration of the sacraments as a dynamic and organic whole, emphasizing their spirituality. The material is organized into four parts: - the Sacramental Way of Life, - the Initiation and Foundational Church, - the Healing Church - the Church at the service of Communion. Highlights: - scholarly, yet pastorally sensitive - perfect text for courses on the sacraments - solid, one-volume, comprehensive text +

Book excerpt: In The Church, Donald G. Bloesch explores with clarity and balance the contours of ecclesiology.

Book Synopsis The Sacraments of Christ by : William H. Wetmore
Download or read book The Sacraments of Christ written by William H. Wetmore and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses the important relationship between the covenants of the Old Testament and the sacraments of the New Testament. From years of experience, it seems that the sacraments of Christ are not well understood in terms of their purpose, their importance in our daily lives, or for the reasons that Christ instituted them. Christ baptizes with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Christ instituted baptism for our public acceptance of Him; He instituted the Eucharist for our remembrance of Him. The sacraments also relate to all the great doctrines of Christianity. Our constant attention to the sacraments will bring us ever closer to God.
Book Synopsis The Bible and Baptism (A Catholic Biblical Theology of the Sacraments) by : Isaac Augustine OP Morales
Download or read book The Bible and Baptism (A Catholic Biblical Theology of the Sacraments) written by Isaac Augustine OP Morales and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This addition to A Catholic Biblical Theology of the Sacraments series provides readers with a deeper appreciation of God's gifts and call in the Sacraments through a renewed encounter with God's Word. New Testament scholar Isaac Morales, OP, offers a biblical theology of the initiatory rite of baptism that will be interesting and informative to the church catholic. Morales provides a synthetic biblical account of the sacrament of baptism, rooted in the rich water symbolism of the Old Testament and finding its full flourishing in baptismal participation in the saving events of Christ's passion, death, and resurrection as described in the New Testament. This book provides lay teachers with background and depth on topics taught frequently in the parish, making it suitable for classroom use and parish ministry. The series editors are Timothy C. Gray and John Sehorn. Gray is president of the Augustine Institute, which has one million subscribers to its online content channel, Formed.org. Gray and Sehorn both teach at the Augustine Institute Graduate School of Theology, which prepares students for Christian mission through on-campus and distance education programs.
Book Synopsis Freedom and Forgiveness by : Paul Farren
Download or read book Freedom and Forgiveness written by Paul Farren and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Freedom & Forgiveness: A Fresh Look at the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Father Farren examines the history of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the ways it brings us into a deeper experience of God. This little book is simple, easy to read, and deeply prayerful. Father Paul’s Irish storytelling background comes to the forefront as he articulates simply but effectively the history of confession with a fresh look to the sacraments which profoundly centers a tone of New Evangelization. Confession is somewhat daunting for many of us; yet Father Farren argues, “Our understanding of the sacrament reveals our image of God. If our image of God is one of an uncompromising judge, then the sacrament can fill us with dread.”Instead of coming to confession to avoid judgment and hellfire, Father Farren paints a picture of the Sacrament of Reconciliation which presents a loving God who longs for a restored relationship with His children. It is an inspirational picture and one that is presented compellingly.

Book Synopsis The Bonds of Freedom by : Garry Deverell
Download or read book The Bonds of Freedom written by Garry Deverell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that Christian worship is a key source for any theology seeking to understand the covenant between God and human beings in the Christian tradition. Through a detailed examination of phenomenological, biblical and theological sources, the author seeks to write a theology in which the selfhood of both God and human beings is seen as essentially 'vowed' or 'covenantal.' This claim is then explored through a detailed examination of Eucharistic worship, which is understood as a 'non-identical performance' of the covenant established between God and human beings in baptism. Here, then, is a theology that understands Christian worship not simply as 'form' or 'event' but, more radically, as a mutual act of promising and commitment between God and human beings.
Download or read book Confession written by Fr. Paul Farren and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sacrament of Confession is probably the most talked about sacraments in the Catholic Church, as well as a spiritual practice being revived in many Protestant churches. This book explores the sacrament focusing on the two people who confess – God and the penitent. God is the primary confessor when he confesses his forgiveness for and trust in the one who is celebrating the sacrament. The gift of freedom, the existence of hell, and the role of conscience are discussed at length. Jean Vanier in his foreword says: “Somewhere, along the line, in the history of the Church, people have become more centred upon obedience to laws than upon this relationship with love with a person, with Jesus. This book flows from an understanding of Confession as a meeting of love and as a renewal of friendship.” How that friendship is renewed is explored using the Rite of Penance and St. Peter in the Gospel. This helps us understand what happens in the sacrament and how we can celebrate it. Ultimately, Fr. Paul describes reconciliation as God’s gift to us to express God’s humble forgiveness and his confidence in us and also the place where we take responsibility for our lives.

Book Synopsis BLISS (Blessed Life in Seven Sacraments) by : Rev. Fr. Oluoma Chinenye J.
Download or read book BLISS (Blessed Life in Seven Sacraments) written by Rev. Fr. Oluoma Chinenye J. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLISS is a faith-provoking book. Scripture says in Ephesians 2: 8, By the grace of God you have been saved through faith.' Faith is the activator and receptor of the graces of salvation; without faith we are at the risk of losing the grace of salvation. Romans 10: 17 says, Faith comes by hearing the word of Christ.' The quality of a believer's faith is proportional to the amount of God's Word heard, believed, and practised. The sacraments are treasures and containers of the powers of salvation; they contain power for forgivingness, healing, deliverance, freedom, victory, breakthrough, and sundry favours. Faith is the ability and disposition to receive and enjoy these blessings. Faith is necessary for the experience of the awesome powers of the sacraments. Faith releases the sacraments from habitual and conditioned confinement to mere ritual to a life-giving cistern of reality. BLISS is a handy, helpful, and practical book of faith that leads all Christians to tap the abundant powers in the sacraments. BLISS is about getting more and all out of the sacraments as it ought to be.
