Book Synopsis German Protestantism and the Spirit of God by : Thorsten Prill
Download or read book German Protestantism and the Spirit of God written by Thorsten Prill and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Document from the year 2010 in the subject Theology - Systematic Theology, grade: none, course: Namibia Evangelical Theological Seminary, language: English, abstract: "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen". For regular worshippers in German-speaking Lutheran and Reformed churches, these words spoken by the pastor are very familiar, as they mark the beginning of every Sunday service. With these words the pastor reminds the congregation in whose name they are gathered and whom they are called to worship. Later on in the service, the congregation is asked to stand and confess their faith with the words of the Apostle's Creed or, on special occasions, the Nicene Creed. Again, the third person of the Trinity is mentioned. However, in many German-speaking Lutheran and Reformed churches God often is not really worshipped as Trinity. God is presented and understood as God the Father and God the Son. In other words, there is an inadequate understanding of the triune God in mainstream German Protestant churches and a lack of emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit. This phenomenon is rooted in German Protestant theology and can be traced back through the ages and the theological schools to Reformation times.
Book Synopsis The Spirit of Hope by : Jürgen Moltmann
Download or read book The Spirit of Hope written by Jürgen Moltmann and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Famous theologian Jrgen Moltmann returns here to the theme that he so powerfully addressed in his groundbreaking work, Theology of Hope. In the twenty-first century, he tells us, hope is challenged by ideologies and global trends that would deny hope and even life itself. Terrorist violence, social and economic inequality, and most especially the looming crisis of climate change all contribute to a cultural moment of profound despair. Moltmann reminds us that Christian faith has much to say in response to a despairing world. In the eternal yes of the living God, we affirm the goodness and ongoing purpose of our fragile humanity. Likewise, Gods love empowers us to love life and resist a culture of death. The books two sections equally promote these affirmations, yet in different ways. The first section looks at the challenges to hope in our current world, most especially the environmental crisis. It argues that Christian faithand indeed all the worlds religionsmust orient themselves toward the wholeness of the human family and the physical environment necessary to that wholeness. The second section draws on resources from the early church, the Reformation, and the contemporary theological conversation to undergird efforts to address the deficit of hope he describes in the first section.

Download or read book Address To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation written by Martin Luther and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Address to the Christian Nobility of the German Nation is one of the tracts written by Martin Luther in 1520. In this work, he defined for the first time the signature doctrines of the priesthood of all believers and the two kingdoms. After the church made a strong attempt at drawing distinct lines on saying who had authority in the spiritual sphere and its matters. This division of Christians into spheres motivated Luther to write on the "three walls" the "Romanists" created to protect themselves from reform: "Spiritual Power over Temporal" – The first wall of the "Romanists" that Luther criticized was that of the division of the spiritual and temporal state. "Authority to Interpret Scripture" – In the second part of the letter to the Christian nobility of the German nation, Luther debates the point that it is the Pope's sole authority to interpret, or confirm interpretation of, scriptures "Authority to Call a Council" – The final part to Luther's letter is the largest demonstration of his desire to see authority in control over the spiritual sphere shift to the temporal sphere.

Book Synopsis The Living God and the Fullness of Life by : Jürgen Moltmann
Download or read book The Living God and the Fullness of Life written by Jürgen Moltmann and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern humanity has accepted a truncated, impoverished definition of life. Focusing solely on material realities, we have forgotten that joy, purpose, and meaning come from a life that is both immersed in the temporal and alive to the transcendent. We have, in other words, ceased to live in God. In this book, renowned theologian Jürgen Moltmann shows us what that life of joy and purpose looks like. Describing how we came to live in a world devoid of the ultimate, he charts a way back to an intimate connection with the biblical God. He counsels that we adopt a "theology of life," an orientation that sees God at work in both the mundane and the extraordinary and that pushes us to work for a world that fully reflects the life of its Creator. Moltmann offers a telling critique of the shallow values of consumerist society and provides a compelling rationale for why spiritual sensibilities and encounter with God must lie at the heart of any life that seeks to be authentically human.

Book Synopsis Role of the Holy Spirit in Protestant Systematic Theology by : Wilson Varkey
Download or read book Role of the Holy Spirit in Protestant Systematic Theology written by Wilson Varkey and published by Langham Monographs. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a meticulously researched text on pneumatology which puts the major pneumatological issues together without confining to the traditional way of dealing with the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Although pneumatology has been a neglected field in theological discussions of the past, there is a renewal of interest among theologians on pneumatology today. This renewal of interest has led to the formation of this work on the role of the Holy Spirit in the Protestant Systematic Theology. Through highlighting the role and significance of the Holy Spirit in the whole divine action, this volume contends that pneumatology is not a dull theological locus, but rather an essential theological disposition relevant for today. The detailed arguments found within challenge and inspire the contemporary pneumatological discussions as it relates to all the facets of theological reflection and action.

Book Synopsis Martin Luther, German Saviour by : James M. Stayer
Download or read book Martin Luther, German Saviour written by James M. Stayer and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2000-03-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theological trend-setters after the war were dogmatic or systematic theologians. Whether men of the right like Karl Holl or men of the left like Karl Barth, they wanted to return to Luther's fundamental Reformation theology and to justification through faith alone. In the mid-1920s, however, Barth saw the dangers of Lutheran theocentrism wedded to German nationalism and moved towards a more Reformed Christology and a greater critical distance from Luther. The other six major Weimar-era theologians discussed - Karl Holl, Friedrich Gogarten, Werner Elert, Paul Althaus, Emanuel Hirsch, and Erich Vogelsang - connected their theology to their Luther studies and to their hopes for rebirth of Germany after the humiliation of the Versailles order. To differing degrees they presented Martin Luther as the German saviour and all except Karl Holl, who died in 1926, worked out specifically theological reasons for supporting Hitler when he came to power in 1933.
Book Synopsis What Did Luther Understand by Religion? by : Karl Holl
Download or read book What Did Luther Understand by Religion? written by Karl Holl and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishing. This book was released on 1977 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did Martin Luther look for in religion? What, indeed, did he consider religion to be? Such a question could not have been put to the Reformer in his own day, for he knew nothing of "religion in general." He knew only the faith established in and by Jesus Christ. Subsequent generations, however, are bound to ask the question - not only as a matter of academic concern, but also as a question of life or death for Reformation Christianity. Karl Holl (1866-1926), during his career as Professor at the University of Berlin, set the pattern for all twentieth-century Luther research. Applying sound historical method, he sought to see and hear Luther not through his interpreters but through his own writings. Was verstand Luther unter Religion? - the essay here presented for the first time in English - stands as one of the landmarks of modern historical and theological scholarship concerning the Reformer and the Reformation. It is a work which not merely reconstructs Luther's thought, but also deals with the origin and development of fundamental positions. This volume also includes a translation of Holl's brief essay, "gogarten's Understanding of Luther," a sharp response to the critique offered by crisis theologian Friedrich Gogarten and a further illumination of his own perception of Luther. -- from back cover.
