This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume before us is abundant proof, if proof were needed, of the wisdom, zeal and energy with which the Bishop of Durham has thrown himself into the arduous duties of the position to which he was called four years ago. It contains a series of sermons and addresses of recent date, on a wide variety of subjects, for the most part of a directly practical kind, which are, as it were, strung on the thread of one underlying truth --the meeting-point of the divine and human in the Incarnation as the centre of history and thought. The greatest problems of the day -- intellectual, social, political -- are taken up and considered in this connection. The special difficulties and trials of the present time are fully exhibited, and the line is shown along which their solution may be hopefully, nay confidently, looked for. The book is thus on the one hand, a contribution to Christian apologetic, of the most effective kind, for "the highest conceivable attestation of a divine revelation lies in its power to meet each new want of man as it arises, and to gain fresh force from the growth of human knowledge;" and on the other hand, a course of practical teaching about every-day life from one who believes that "all the problems of modern life are in the end religious problems." It is evident how singularly fitted the author is to communicate such teaching, first from the "long and busy years as student and teacher," and then from the experience of the last four years since he was "suddenly called at the close of life to the oversight of a Diocese in which the problems of modern life are presented in the most urgent and impressive form." The Incarnation is, in Dr. Westcott's view, "the central event in the life of the world, the central truth in the experience of men, in which the seen and the unseen, the temporal and the eternal, the finite and the infinite, are brought together." "To invoke the name of the Lord Jesus is to recognize the fellowship of Heaven and Earth." Theoretically we confess our belief in this when we acknowledge the true divinity and true humanity of our Lord. But the consequences both for belief and for action are far-reaching, and are often but little apparent. For the Incarnation brings to light the real nature of human relations, the brotherhood which means sharing in the sight of a common ideal and in the exercise of a mutual love. We learn from science itself that "we are not, we cannot be alone. There is a larger life in which we are all bound to an irrevocable past and an immeasurable future.... --The Cambridge Review, Volume 15
Book Synopsis Life with God by : Richard J. Foster
Download or read book Life with God written by Richard J. Foster and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often, our study of the Bible focuses on searching for specific information or some formula that will solve our pressing needs of the moment. But what if we approached the Bible differently, and instead of transforming the text to meet our needs, allowed it to transform us? That's exactly the idea behind Life with God, Richard J. Foster's much-anticipated book on the Bible. Foster, bestselling author of Celebration of Discipline and general editor of The RenovarÉ Spiritual Formation Bible, claims that God has superintended the writing of Scripture so that it serves as the most reliable guide for Christian spiritual formation. According to Foster, the Bible is all about human life "with God." As we read Scripture, we should consider how exactly God is with us in each story and allow ourselves to be spiritually transformed. By opening our whole selves—mind, body, spirit, thoughts, behavior, and will—to the page before us, we begin to grasp all the Bible has to teach about prayer, obedience, compassion, virtue, and grace and apply it to our everyday lives to achieve a deeper relationship with God. With a wealth of examples and simple yet crucial insights, Life with God is an indispensable guide to approaching the Bible through the lens of Christian spiritual formation, revealing that reading the Bible for interior transformation is a far different endeavor than reading the Bible for historical knowledge, literary appreciation, or religious instruction.

Such a transition brings with it of necessity many strange experiences. It gives by its very unexpectedness a singular reality to earlier thoughts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the bestselling celebration of discipline explores the great traditions of Christian spirituality and their role in spiritual renewal today. In this landmark work, Foster examines the "streams of living water" –– the six dimensions of faith and practice that define Christian tradition. He lifts up the enduring character of each tradition and shows how a variety of practices, from individual study and retreat to disciplines of service and community, are all essential elements of growth and maturity. Foster examines the unique contributions of each of these traditions and offers as examples the inspiring stories of faithful people whose lives defined each of these "streams."

Book Synopsis The Shattering of Loneliness by : Erik Varden
Download or read book The Shattering of Loneliness written by Erik Varden and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experience of loneliness is as universal as hunger or thirst. Because it affects us more intimately, we are less inclined to speak of it. But who has not known its gnawing ache? The fear of loneliness causes anguish. It prompts reckless deeds. To this, every age has borne witness. No voice is more insidious than the one that whispers in our ear: 'You are irredeemably alone, no light will pierce your darkness.' The fundamental statement of Christianity is to convict that voice of lying. The Christian condition unfolds within the certainty that ultimate reality, the source of all that is, is a personal reality of communion, no metaphysical abstraction. Men and women, made 'in the image and likeness' of God, bear the mark of that original communion stamped on their being. When our souls and bodies cry out for Another, it is not a sign of sickness, but of health. A labour of potential joy is announced. We are reminded of what we have it in us to become. That our labour may be fruitful, Scripture repeatedly exhorts us to 'remember'. The remembrance enjoined is partly introspective and existential, partly historical, for the God who took flesh to redeem our loneliness leaves traces in history. This book examines six facets of Christian remembrance, complementing biblical exegesis with readings from literature, ancient and modern. It aims to be an essay in theology. At the same time, it proposes a grounded reflection on what it means to be a human being.
Book Synopsis Christ and the Common Life by : Luke Bretherton
Download or read book Christ and the Common Life written by Luke Bretherton and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Christ and the Common Life Luke Bretherton provides an introduction to historical and contemporary theological reflection on politics and opens up a compelling vision for a Christian commitment to democracy. In dialogue with Scripture and various traditions, Bretherton examines the dynamic relationship between who we are in relation to God and who we are as moral and political animals. He addresses fundamental political questions about poverty and injustice, forming a common life with strangers, and handling power constructively. And through his analysis of debates concerning, among other things, race, class, economics, the environment, and interfaith relations, he develops an innovative political theology of democracy as a way through which Christians can speak and act faithfully within our current context. Read as a whole, or as stand-alone chapters, the book guides readers through the political landscape and identifies the primary vocabulary, ideas, and schools of thought that shape Christian reflection on politics in the West. Ideal for the classroom, Christ and the Common Life equips students to understand politics and its positive and negative role in fostering neighbor love.
Book Synopsis Christian Socialism by : Philip Turner
Download or read book Christian Socialism written by Philip Turner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Socialism is a movement that arose in England in the mid-nineteenth century and continues into the twenty-first century. This form of socialism was aimed, in the first instance, not at institutional reform or the nationalization of the means of production but at what its proponents viewed as the moral rot that lay at the foundation of first industrial and then digital society. They opposed what we call neoliberalism and what was then known as political economy because supporters of these ideologies believed that moral convictions had no proper place in the operation of markets. This conviction rested upon the false belief that people are essentially selfish, competitive individuals seeking personal happiness. The aim of Christian Socialists was to replace this "rotten" moral foundation with another based on the view that people are social and cooperative by nature rather than competitive. Their goal was nothing less than a new society built not upon selfishness and aggression but upon social virtues such as equality, fellowship, cooperation, service, and justice. They did not deny the presence of selfishness; however, they believed that the social nature of humankind lies deeper than egotism and conflict, and they sought a society built upon this belief.

Download or read book Ordinary written by Michael Horton and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radical. Crazy. Transformative and restless. Every word we read these days seems to suggest there’s a “next-best-thing,” if only we would change our comfortable, compromising lives. In fact, the greatest fear most Christians have is boredom—the sense that they are missing out on the radical life Jesus promised. One thing is certain. No one wants to be “ordinary.” Yet pastor and author Michael Horton believes that our attempts to measure our spiritual growth by our experiences, constantly seeking after the next big breakthrough, have left many Christians disillusioned and disappointed. There’s nothing wrong with an energetic faith; the danger is that we can burn ourselves out on restless anxieties and unrealistic expectations. What’s needed is not another program or a fresh approach to spiritual growth; it’s a renewed appreciation for the commonplace. Far from a call to low expectations and passivity, Horton invites readers to recover their sense of joy in the ordinary. He provides a guide to a sustainable discipleship that happens over the long haul—not a quick fix that leaves readers empty with unfulfilled promises. Convicting and ultimately empowering, Ordinary is not a call to do less; it’s an invitation to experience the elusive joy of the ordinary Christian life.
