Book Synopsis Atonement, Justice, and Peace by : Darrin W. Snyder Belousek
Download or read book Atonement, Justice, and Peace written by Darrin W. Snyder Belousek and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-29 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this substantial study Darrin W. Snyder Belousek offers a comprehensive and critical examination of penal substitution, the most widely accepted evangelical Protestant theory of atonement, and presents a biblically grounded, theologically orthodox alternative. Attending to all of the relevant biblical texts and engaging with the full spectrum of scholarship, Belousek systematically develops a biblical theory of atonement that centers on restorative -- rather than retributive -- justice. He also shows how Christian thinking on atonement correlates with major global concerns such as economic justice, capital punishment, "the war on terror," and ethnic and religious conflicts. Thorough and clearly structured, this book demonstrates how a return to biblical cruciformity can radically transform Christian mission, social justice, and peacemaking.
Book Synopsis Context and Contextuality by : Vyacheslav Tsvirinko
Download or read book Context and Contextuality written by Vyacheslav Tsvirinko and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1988, hundreds of thousands of evangelical Christians have migrated to the United States of America from former Soviet Union countries, establishing many Russian-speaking immigrant congregations across the country. This study analyzes how these immigrant churches function in their new cultural, social, and religious context. Dr Vyacheslav Tsvirinko, a Russian who lived in the USA for over twenty-five years, examines the holism, authenticity and contextuality of the mission work done by churches in the Pacific Coast Slavic Baptist Association (PCSBA) in America. He defines authentic mission in light of three major Christian groups – the World Council of Churches, the Lausanne Movement, and Anabaptists – and uncovers startling insights on how PCSBA churches engage in mission, both back in their homeland and in the USA. The findings and conclusions of this work are invaluable to diasporic Christian communities who wish to address their authenticity in the way they do mission, both internationally and in their local context, creating a path to more fruitful gospel and kingdom work.
Book Synopsis The Anabaptist Vision by : Harold S. Bender
Download or read book The Anabaptist Vision written by Harold S. Bender and published by MennoMedia, Inc.. This book was released on 1960 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anabaptist Vision, given as a presidential address before the American Society of Church History in 1943, has become a classic essay. In it, Harold S. Bender defines the spirit and purposes of the original Anabaptists. Three major points of emphasis are: the transformation of the entire way of life of the individual to the teachings and example of Christ, voluntary church membership based upon conversion and commitment to holy living, and Christian love and nonresistance applied to all human relationships.
Book Synopsis Mennonites in Dialogue by : Fernando Enns
Download or read book Mennonites in Dialogue written by Fernando Enns and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecumenical dialogue is not an end in itself. It serves as an indispensable instrument to overcome the divisive, mutual misinterpretations of the past. Ecumenical encounters pave the way toward healing painful memories and lead to a deeper understanding of the church's given unity, thus becoming a more credible witness of that truth. Mennonites in Dialogue is a collection of all conversation texts involving Mennonites on international and national levels, covering forty years of encounters with Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Reformed, Baptists, and Seventh-Day Adventists, among others. The texts illustrate growth in agreement as well as identify the remaining convictions that still divide. Several texts appear here for the first time in English. An introductory essay provides an overview of the motivations for dialogue, the challenges faced--both in the processes of dialogue and in their substance--as these conversations evolved, the achievements gained, and the prospects for the future. A detailed index enables a more effective comparison of the topics and issues throughout the collection. Mennonites in Dialogue is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand the process of identity formation within the Christian tradition through encounter with the other, as well as a rich introduction to the theology of that global peace church--the Mennonites.
Book Synopsis Political Practices and International Order by : Stefan Heuser
Download or read book Political Practices and International Order written by Stefan Heuser and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2007 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International order is one of the most challenging issues in political ethics today, and its place within the multifaceted fleld of politics is frequently debated. The diverse phenomena resulting from 'globalisation' - particularly in the wake of the end of the so-called Cold War - urge us to think about our 'world' in terms of a single political entity. Besides the existing international institutions, however, it is still open to question what this entity should be and what concrete political practices should correspond to it. In the essays collected in this book, political scientists, sociologists, philosophers, theologians and policy advisors explore how political practices can be institutionally localised without necessarily becoming incorporated into structures of governance. Political ethics, as presented in this book, seeks to address the particular practices of power, justice, and peace of citizens themselves, and to assess their relevance for the shaping of international insti
Book Synopsis The Church Made Strange for the Nations by : Paul G. Doerksen
Download or read book The Church Made Strange for the Nations written by Paul G. Doerksen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians have sometimes professed that the church ought to be "in the world but not of it," yet the meaning and significance of this conviction has continued to challenge and confound. In the context of persecution, Christians in the ancient world tended to distance themselves from the social and civic mainstream, while in the medieval and early modern periods, the church and secular authorities often worked in close relationship, sharing the role of shaping society. In a post-Christendom era, this latter arrangement has been heavily critiqued and largely dismantled, but there is no consensus in Christian thought as to what the alternative should be. The present collection of essays offers new perspectives on this subject matter, drawing on sometimes widely disparate interlocutors, ancient and modern, biblical and "secular." Readers will find these essays challenging and thought-provoking.
Book Synopsis A Pilgrimage of Faith by : John B. Toews
Download or read book A Pilgrimage of Faith written by John B. Toews and published by Kindred Productions (c) 1993. This book was released on 1993 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now [1990] one hundred and thirty years since the birth of the Mennonite Brethren Church and therefore time for someone in that church to take a backward glance to see how things have developed. Who better to do this John B. Toews. His life spans well over half of those years and he has experienced much of what he writes. "JB" as he is affectionately known by both students and colleagues is a patriarchal figure in the Mennonite Brethren Church. Born in Ukraine, the Russian Revolution and its aftermath were the crucible that shaped his youth and young adult years. After studying in Western Europe, Toews immigrated to Canada in the late 1920s. Much of his life has been in Mennonite Brethren educational institutions in Canada and the United States. During ten years as Executive Secretary of the Mennonite Brethren Board of Missions he traveled widely and came to know Mennonite Brethren people around the world. In between educational and mission administrative responsibilities he pastored in Kansas and California. After retiring from the presidency of the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary he became the founding Director of the Historical Commission of the Mennonite Brethren Church.

Book Synopsis Healing Memories by : The Lutheran World Federation and The World Mennonite Conference
Download or read book Healing Memories written by The Lutheran World Federation and The World Mennonite Conference and published by Evangelische Verlagsanstalt. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meeting in Stuttgart, Germany, in 2010, the Eleventh Assembly of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) asked for forgiveness from members of the Anabaptist/Mennonite tradition for the wrongs going back to the beginnings of the Lutheran movement in the sixteenth century that had led to painful divisions between the two Christian families. The Mennonites accepted this apology and both communities committed themselves to move toward reconciliation. On the threshold of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, this publication brings together two reports: "Healing Memories: Reconciling in Christ" by the Lutheran-Mennonite International Study Commission and "Bearing Fruit – Implications of the 2010 Reconciliation between Lutherans and Mennonites/Anabaptists" by the LWF Task Force on Mennonite Action. [Heilung der Erinnerungen. Implikationen der Versöhnung zischen Lutheranern und Mennoniten] Die Elfte Vollversammlung des Lutherischen Weltbundes in Stuttgart im Jahr 2010 bat die Mitglieder der anabaptistischen/mennonitischen Bewegung um Vergebung für begangenes Unrecht, das bis zu den Anfängen der lutherischen Bewegung im 16. Jahrhundert zurückreicht und zu der schmerzhaften Trennung der beiden christlichen Traditionen führte. Die Mennoniten nahmen die Entschuldigung an, und beide Gemeinschaften verpflichteten sich, eine Versöhnung anzustreben. An der Schwelle zum Reformationsjubiläum werden in dieser Publikation zwei Berichte gemeinsam veröffentlicht: "Heilung der Erinnerungen: Versöhnung in Christus" von der Lutherisch-mennonitischen Internationalen Studienkommission und "Es trägt Früchte – Auswirkungen der Versöhnung zwischen Lutheranern und Mennoniten/Anabaptisten im Jahre 2010" von der zuständigen Arbeitsgruppe des LWB.

Book Synopsis The Augsburg Confession by : Robert Kolb
Download or read book The Augsburg Confession written by Robert Kolb and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Augsburg Confession is a unique document in the history of the Christian church, containing both a succinct summary of the heart of Christian teaching and a defense of the changes in practice introduced by Martin Luther and the Wittenberg reformers. Robert Kolb and Timothy J. Wengert invite readers on an accessible journey into the heart of this foundational confession--as well as the minds of primary author Philip Melanchthon and the other reformers at the heart of the emerging Lutheran movement. Kolb and Wengert use the version of the Augsburg Confession translated by Eric W. Gritsch for the 2000 Book of Concord, but also offer readers fresh insight into the history and evolution of this document by including cross-references to the editio princeps of 1531, the first official published edition of the confession. In addition to thorough introductions to the document and to each article, readers will benefit from extensive footnotes, extensive marginal comments, and appendices including important variations from the editio princeps, topics for discussion tailored to each article, and suggestions for further reading.
