Book Synopsis Peter Riedemann's Hutterite Confession of Faith by : Peter Riedemann
Download or read book Peter Riedemann's Hutterite Confession of Faith written by Peter Riedemann and published by Herald Press (VA). This book was released on 1999-02-26 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While in prison during 1540-42, Riedemann writes for the Lutheran ruler, Philip of Hesse. He explains the Hutterite goal of a renewed community and dispels popular misconceptions. The Hutterites quickly accept the Confession as their own. Riedemann creatively weaves together a fresh reading of the Bible with the classical creeds. He produces a powerful synthesis of Scripture and tradition on which to base Christian community. His dynamic vision of radical and communal discipleship still challenges believers toward greater faithfulness to the Lord and to each other. Riedemann’s Confession gives theological grounding for the Hutterite understanding of economic communalism and offers practical examples of it. This confession still guides Hutterite communities. Includes John J. Friesen’s translation of the 1565 German edition of Confession of Our Religion, Teaching, and Faith, by the Brothers Who Are Known as the Hutterites along with a new history of Riedemann.

Book Synopsis A Contemporary Anabaptist Theology by : Thomas N. Finger
Download or read book A Contemporary Anabaptist Theology written by Thomas N. Finger and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2010-02-26 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive volume Thomas N. Finger takes on the formidable task of making explicit the often implicit theology of the Anabaptist movement and then presenting, for the sake of the welfare of the whole contemporary Christian church, his own constructive theology. In the first part Finger tells the story of the development of Anabaptist thought, helping the reader grasp both the unifying and diverse elements in that theological tradition. In the second and third parts Finger considers in more detail the major themes essential to Anabaptist theology, first considering the historic views and then presenting his own constructive effort. Within the Anabaptist perspective Finger offers a theology that highlights the three dimensions of its salvific center: the communal, the personal and the missional. The themes taken up in the final part form what Finger identifies as the convictional framework of that center; namely, Christology, anthropology and eschatology. This book is a landmark contribution of Anabaptist theology for the whole church in biblical, historical and contemporary context.

Book Synopsis T&T Clark Handbook of Anabaptism by : Brian C. Brewer
Download or read book T&T Clark Handbook of Anabaptism written by Brian C. Brewer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By utilizing the contributions of a variety of scholars – theologians, historians, and biblical scholars – this book makes the complex and sometimes disparate Anabaptist movement more easily accessible. It does this by outlining Anabaptism's early history during the Reformation of the sixteenth century, its varied and distinctive theological convictions, and its ongoing challenges to and influence on contemporary Christianity. T&T Clark Handbook of Anabaptism comprises four sections: 1) Origins, 2) Doctrine, 3) Influences on Anabaptism, and 4) Contemporary Anabaptism and Relationship to Others. The volume concludes with a chapter on how contemporary Anabaptists interact with the wider Church in all its variety. While some of the authorities within the volume will disagree even with one another regarding Anabaptist origins, emphases on doctrine, and influence in the contemporary world, such differences represent the diversity that constitutes the history of this movement.
Download or read book Church Invisible written by Andrew Gamman and published by Kereru Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2013-11-16 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in a time in which we are seeing a rapid unravelling of institutional structures in Western society and a re-alignment of values. The church is not faring well in this process. This book takes the form of an earthed and practical theology and asks the question ‘what is the church?’ Rather than a purely theoretical, or a purely pragmatic approach, it looks to the radical Reformers of the sixteenth century and finds there an emphasis on the church’s invisible realities and on community both of which have a relevance to the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Beatrice Baker written by Fran Riedemann and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Everybody who knew the Bakers would tell you that when Beatrice was born she just came out happy. Her mom said that when she was born she cried one time (and that wasn't really even a cry, but more of a squeal or a squeak), her eyes popped wide open, and when the nurse handed Beatrice to her mother she looked into her mother's eyes and smiled right at her!' Beatrice is always thinking about how she can use her smile to make the world a better place, but it is only when she discovers the meaning of her name that she really finds her purpose in life. What does the color orange, a good attitude, and names have to do with anything? Find out when Fran Riedemann introduces you to Beatrice Baker: Bringer of Joy!
Book Synopsis The German Peasants' War and Anabaptist Community of Goods by : James M. Stayer
Download or read book The German Peasants' War and Anabaptist Community of Goods written by James M. Stayer and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1991 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to theoretical and empirical research, with chapters written by experts from many disciplines. Stayer argues that Anabaptist community of goods continued the popular radicalism of the early Reformation and the Peasants' War of 1525. After the defeat of the commoners in the Peasants' War, some of the most ardent adherents of social and religious reform attempted to achieve these same aspirations by trying to implement the apostolic model of Acts 2 and 4 through the Anabaptists.

Book Synopsis Go to Church, Change the World by : Gerald J. Mast
Download or read book Go to Church, Change the World written by Gerald J. Mast and published by MennoMedia, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-01-20 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time when many are questioning the relevance of the church to their spiritual journeys, this book makes a bold case that "going to church" is intrinsic to Christian faith. Drawing on Anabaptist life and conviction, Mast presents Christ's call to all believers to be the church, whether gathered for worship or scattered for service. By exploring such practices as baptism, communion, singing, and group discernment, he asks us to consider how participation in the life of the church shapes our daily witness—how “going to church” transforms “going to work” in the world that God loves.
Download or read book Alcohol written by Mack P. Holt and published by Berg. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are we so ambivalent about alcohol? Are we torn between our love of a drink and the need to restrict, or even prohibit, alcohol? How did saloon culture arise in the United States? Why did wine become such a ubiquitous part of French culture?Alcohol: A Social and Cultural History examines these questions and many more as it considers how drink has evolved in its functions and uses from the late Middle Ages to the present day in the West. Alcohol has long played an important role in societies throughout history, and understanding its consumption can reveal a great deal about a culture. This book discusses a range of issues, including domestic versus recreational use, the history of alcoholism, and the relationship between alcohol and violence, religion, sexuality, and medicine. It looks at how certain forms of alcohol speak about class, gender and place.Drawing on examples from Europe, North America and Australia, this book provides an overview of the many roles alcohol has played over the past five centuries.
