Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An important study in the strategy of Christian evangelism as developed by two major figures, incorporating biographical studies of both its subjects.A two-volume study in the strategy of Christian evangelism as developed by two of its greatest exponents, set in the framework of biographical studies. Volume I covers the life and thought of Blaise Pascal, while Volume II covers the life and thought of Søren Kierkegaard, each volume standing in their own right as scholarly contributions to the literature of their respective subjects.Although far separated in time and tradition, Pascal and Kierkegaard both insisted that self-complacent humanity needs first to be disturbed, and then comforted, by the Gospel.Most of the book is occupied by a thorough review of the lives and works of the two men, in such a way as to ring out their significant place in the spiritual history of modern Europe. But the author's purpose throughout is not merely biographical. He goes on to compare the conception and execution of their evangelistic tasks in a way which brings out the remarkable consensus between them; and in an epilogue he draws conclusions relating this historical study to the tasks and methods of modern evangelism.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Volume II: The Spirit of the Protestant ReformationIn this second volume of the Reformation Writings of Martin Luther there are two focal points of interest - the dramatic event at Worms, 1521, as seen in contemporary accounts as well as mirrored in Luther's own writings, and Luther the pastor, at pains to build up simple folk in the Christian faith and life.Luther's immense Biblical understanding as shown in his Prefaces to the Psalms and the New Testament, and his exposition of the Church's worship contained in the Preface to the Lord's Supper and Order of Service, provide a luminous insight into Luther's mind and purpose. The volume is very aptly sub-titled The Spirit of the Reformation. As with Volume I, Bertram Lee-Woolf's translation brings to life the writer, his thoughts, and his times.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An instructive an insightful analysis of what is wrong with the modern churches, when compared with the early, Spirit-filled fellowship of the New Testament.Brunner sees St Paul's Epistle to the Romans as 'the chapter of destiny of the Christian Church'. Here, in Luther's words, is the 'purest gospel' upon which the very existence of the Christian faith depends and from which it draws its life.Concentrated, decisive and instructive, nothing within the New Testament is more closely argued both theological and personal. Out of his years of scholarly wisdom Brunner meditates on the great Question: What is wrong with the Churches Brunner finds an answer in the contrast between the virile Spirit-filled fellowship of the New Testament and the institutions which are now called 'churches'. He writes in his preface: 'The title of the book, The Misunderstanding of the Church, is equivocal. Is it a question of a misunderstanding of which the Church is guilty, or of a misunderstanding of which it is the victim Or is it that the Church itself, as such, is perhaps the product of a misunderstanding The author is not responsible for this ambiguity; it is intrinsic in the theme itself.'.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A guide to collecting medals, covering all the requisite background information, the aims to which a new collector should aspire, and the pitfalls to avoid.The background to collecting military medals is inseparable from a study of history. The earliest British medals, as befits a nation for so long reliant upon naval strength for its independence, were issued to the Navy, beginning with the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. The first true campaign medals awarded to the Army followed the Battle of Waterloo, although many had been issued privately and unofficially before this. As one would expect for a country like Britain, with an outstanding imperial history dating to modern times, a vast field of military medals covering service in Africa, India, and China awaits the attention of the collector. There are, too, the collections relating to major wars, including the Crimean War, Boer War and the two World Wars. Colin Narbeth describes the medals awarded, and the actions which gave rise to special bars, ribbons and stars. Orders and decorations, including the Victoria Cross and the George Cross, both awarded for extreme valor, are described as are the naming of medals and display. As well as this wealth of background information, the author also details the aims to which a new collector should aspire, and discusses the pitfalls to guard against, including the problem of identification of forgeries. The volume is illustrated with numerous photographs selected by the author.…

Neuware - An introduction to the basic principles of prophecy in the Old Testament, the background against which the prophets worked and their underlying ideals.An introduction to Old Testament prophecy offering an understanding of its basic principles, the background against which the prophets worked and the underlying ideal they took for granted.

The relationships between priest and prophet and between prophetic utterance and Wisdom literature are also brought out, so as to provide one of the best guides available to contemporary Biblical scholarship on prophecy and the prophets in the Old Testament.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This classic book on all aspects of preaching remains a valuable guide for ministers and theological students.Preaching is the natural overflow of our religion. We have received good news, and we long to tell it to others. The reason and passion of preaching the only reason and passion is that a great and wonderful thing has come into our lives in the love of God through Jesus, and we can find no rest until we tell the world.' Black's classic book on preaching, first published in 1924, remains a valuable guide for ministers and students of theology. Originally delivered as a series of lectures the book covers the many facets of preaching from choice of subject, through the hard work involved in careful preparation, to the importance of delivery. The final chapters are devoted to the planning of worship and the conduct of services. Preaching as the title implies is not the art of following prescribed rules. There is always an element of mystery, bound up with the greater mystery of personality.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Applying the methods of social history to the early Church, this book illuminates the lives of the first believers through composite biographical portraits.What did the early Christians wear What did they eat What did they talk about over the dinner table What recreations did they enjoy These are among the questions answered in this study, which reveals the social background to the first five hundred years of the Church's development, through six vividly recounted, biographical portraits. Applying the methods of the social historian to the early Church, the author describes the daily life of the first believers, personifying the general facts and depicting them in these composite portraits of specific individuals, who are taken as representatives of different strands of early Christian life. Clement, a philosopher and teacher in Alexandria at the end of the 2nd century; Paul of Samosata, A.D. 268, who taught heretically in Antioch; Virginia, A.D. 304, whose last day on earth is set against the background of Diocletian's persecutions; Diogenes, a sexton of Rome John Chrysotom, A.D. 400, a great Bishop of the Church; John Cassian, a friend of Chrysotom and resident of Marseilles. The author uses contemporary documents and authorities to construct the biographies, which animate and illuminate the early development of the Church. By conducting the reader through the daily routines of these individuals, the past is recreated as a living reality.…

This volume brings together twenty-two of Temple's essays and addresses covering the whole span of his adult life, and illustrating in an impressive way both the catholicity of his interests, the breadth of his social thinking and the depth of his religious faith.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An informative guide to the religion of the Semitic peoples reveals both their religious practice and the place it occupied in their civilisation.Have we any right to speak of the religion of ancient Israel Are there connections between the religion of the patriarchs, that of the tribes who remained in Canaan and that of the Israelites who took part in the exodus and who experienced the period of wandering in the wilderness To such questions Vriezen provides answers, based on textual, literary and archaeological evidence. Through church and synagogue the Old Testament has influenced western Christendom. But it is also separated from us by a great gulf of time, space, culture, thinking and belief. Vriezen provides a valuable guide to the Ancient Near East and to Semitic civilisation and religion, explaining the background to many disputive questions relating to Old Testament scholarship.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The mature expression of the theology and religion of the 18th-century spiritual thinker.William Law is best remembered today for his Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life. To those interested in his spirituality, however, other works have greater impact, in particular The Spirit of Prayer and The Spirit of Love, which are considered the finest and most appealing. In the years in which they were written, his vision had reached its fullest and most characteristic development, and his literary power was at its height. It is in these books that the profound influence of Jacob Boehme can be most clearly seen. His great synthesis of the mystical outpourings and orthodox Christian theology, provide an English spiritual classic. Law's understanding and interpretation of mysticism was more original than traditional, being dynamic and creative. He believed in the life of God working from within, and the flame of divine love being a link with and an understanding of God. He conceived that mysticism was a matter of life, that relied on willing rather than knowing, and that ultimately rested on trust in God. Despite holding no official position he was widely regarded in his own time and later as a spiritual guide, and his trilogy The Spirit of Prayer, The Spirit of Love and The Way to Divine Knowledge was the mature expression of his theology and religion.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The classic commentary on the Ephesians, with a revised text and translation.Written whilst in prison in Rome, the Epistle to the Ephesians has been perceived as St. Paul's most important work, as it is not addressed to a specific church or city, but was intended as a circular, to be taken by Tychicus, and read in all the churches willing to accept this the new word of God. This book addresses the most important elements of the teaching of St. Paul, and specifically the inclusion of the gentiles in what had initially been a church for Jews. It was this teaching which had led to St. Paul's imprisonment, and yet he took the opportunity to spread his message despite the consequences he faced. In St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, Robinson provides a context for the Epistle, establishing a framework in which it can be read and understood. This book also includes a paraphrase of the Epistle, which is of particular value to students who are not familiar with the Greek language. This is a classic and comprehensive commentary on the Ephesians, which is well constructed and easy to follow.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An essay in liturgical theology in two volumes, exploring the scriptural background to the liturgy of the Eucharist, with a focus on the Old Testament.'This book is an essay in liturgical theology,' writes Max Thurian, 'It is in fact a study in biblical theology which seeks to provide a firm basis for the eucharistic liturgy in the great Judaeo-Christian tradition represented by the Scriptures.' From the insights which came to him within the Brotherhood of Taizé in France, Max Thurian believes that the real presence of Christ must be studied within the 'liturgical action' and not isolated as a separate theological problem. In the Reformed tradition of Taizé he turns, therefore, to a study of the Scriptures and opens the Scriptural meaning of the Eucharistic memorial as seen in the Old and New Testaments.Part I deals with the Old Testament background, while Part II deals with the New Testament background.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Studies in the relationship between spirit and tradition in the bible, combining the insights of Orthodox theology with Western biblical scholarship.How deeply is new revelation rooted in and bound by old revelation, and how far does the old determine or contain the newness of the new How does the new grow old, how is the old renewed, and what is the pattern - if any - of this process In this study of the similarities and, equally important, the differences between older and more novel revelation in the Bible, Englezakis analyses these questions and indicates some of the ways in which answers may be found.A wide-ranging study which combines much original thought and sound scholarship with a deep spirituality, New and Old in God's Revelation reflects one of the rare encounters of western Biblical scholarship with eastern Christianity.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A critical analysis of the liturgical rites in the Scottish, English, Welsh and Irish churches, showing the bases of Reformed Worship.Barkley introduces his subject by presenting the basic similarities between the Churches and their worship which rests upon the Christian doctrine of God, and is centred in the person and work of Jesus Christ. He differentiates Protestant doctrine from Catholic and Reformed doctrine from Protestant, whilst maintaining the universal theme that Christian worship is not simply the experience of the individual, but of the individual in community: the worship of a family, the Church.Once these fundamentals have been established he continues with a critical analysis of the Eucharistic, Baptismal and Confirmation rites in the Scottish, English, Welsh and Irish liturgies. He differentiates between the Catholic, Evangelical and Reformed doctrines, reminding the reader of their similarities, and the doctrines in which they diversify, before he establishes the similarities between Catholic. In this sense the author claims that to be Reformed, or Presbyterian, it is essential to be Christian, Catholic and Calvinist not only in doctrine but also in worship.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An essay on central sacrament from the perspective of the Reformed Tradition, viewing the Eucharist not only as a sign or symbol, but as Christ's real presence.Newly republished, Von Allmen's essay on the central sacrament of the Christian faith examines the truths enshrined in the Lord's Supper from within the Reformed Tradition. He concludes that the Eucharist must be understood not only as a 'sign', 'symbol' or 'memorial', but as the very real presence of Christ.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The great Reformer's sermons on Isaiah 53, seen as one of the most important prefigurings of the suffering of Christ for the people of God.Originally preached as a series, these seven sermons concerning the critical chapters of the Book Isaiah, demonstrate some of Calvin's most profound thoughts.Christian theologians from the time of the Early Church have seen Isaiah 53 as the most important prefiguring of the suffering of Christ for the people of God, and Calvin's sermons bring out the theological significance of this key chapter for Christians. Calvin began to preach on Isaiah in 1556, and to aid with the comprehension of the text, each sermon is preceded by an abridgement of the relevant passage from the 1559 commentary.The book of Isaiah is one of the three longest books of the Bible and quoted more by Jesus and New Testament prophets than any other Book. It has remained an important and influential text and is as relevant for Christians today as it has been throughout the centuries. Not only does this book illuminate the more difficult elements of the text, but it is done so by one of the greatest Protestant theologians, and is ably translated by T.L.H. Parker.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An analysis of the affinities between Unitarianism and the Broad Church movement within 19th-century Anglicanism.The author defines Yesterday's Radicals as nineteenth-century Anglican Broad Churchmen and Unitarians, and aims in his book to demonstrate the affinities between them and the manners in which they influenced each other. The Broad Churchmen constituted the progressive wing of the Anglican Church, who were interested in science, Biblical criticism, a rational approach to religion, and who were leaders in the attempt to relate the Church's teaching to the new thoughts and conditions of the nineteenth century. But they were not alone. The Unitarians were possessed of a similar spirit, and came to regard reason and conscience as the criteria of belief and practice.This book demonstrates the growing respect between them, as they tried to grapple with the problems of their day. It lucidly takes the reader through the ramifications and complexities of Biblical criticism, and discusses the answers given to the problems of Biblical inspiration and miracles, amongst others. It demonstrates how Unitarians and Broad Churchmen affected each other, and that much of which is now taken for granted in enlightened theological circles was developed by Yesterday's Radicals.The author traverses territory not previously opened up in this way, for the affinity between these groups has hitherto not been the subject of analysis. This pioneering study was awarded the Earl Morse Wilbur Prize for Historical Research.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A study of the way in which the Old Testament is viewed in the developing churches of the Third World.'Reading the Old Testament is like eating a large crab: it turns out to be mostly shell, with very little meat on it,' said a Chinese pastor. This is one of the many challenging criticisms of the Old Testament in African and Asian churches.This book is a study of the way in which the Old Testament is viewed in the developing churches of the Third World, showing how the experience by which Israel was made ready for Jesus is applicable in the mission field.The author examines the perception and use of the Old Testament by missionaries and indigenous populations in Africa and Asia, and the way in which the pagan background to the Old Testament was perceived. He draws conclusions, particularly relevant to India and China.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A classic account of the life and teaching of Sundar Singh, the high-caste Sikh who converted to Christianity.Appasamy's biography of Sundar Singh, a high-caste Sikh who became a Christian, is a classic account of his life and teaching. For many years before his disappearance in Tibet, the Sadhu had moved in and out of that forbidden land on his evangelistic journeys, persecuted, imprisoned and assaulted. He became famous throughout India, Europe and America for his saintly character, his mystical vision and his zeal for the Christian faith. He entered the forbidden land of Nepal, was seized, stripped and his body covered with leeches, but he endured his torture with singing. His forty days in the Indian forest during which he lost his sight and speech, his long journeys on foot, his Himalayan mountain adventures, his ceaseless witness to the Christian faith are all related in this definitive biography by his friend Appasamy. 'His tall, well-built figure,' says Appasamy, 'clad in orange robe with a scarf of the same colour thrown across his shoulders, made people think of what Jesus may have looked like when He was on this earth.' Here is the story of a great disciple who endured hardship, fought a good fight and then moved into the silence of Tibet.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A pioneering anthropological study of the Santal people of India, who live in the area north-east of the mouth of the Ganges.'This study represents an attempt to provide the kind of book that I wish could have been placed in my hands when I first began to work amongst the Santals,' says the author in his Preface. Based on material gathered during his 11-year residence amongst the Santal people, this is a pioneering anthropological study of one of the largest tribal peoples of India, whose homeland is based around the area north east of the Ganges. A proud and self reliant people who once rioted against the corruption of British tax officials in colonial India, they have retained their own language and independent religion.Culshaw explores every aspect of their culture, from their perception of themselves, and their interaction with their neighbours, to the intricacies of their art, both verbal and visual. The inclusion of diagrams of Santal instruments, and translations of their poetry and song, combined with the careful descriptions of the importance of both ceremonial and celebratory dance, animates the description of these people and accentuates the diversity and richness of their beliefs.The reader is taken on a journey of discovery, through the most important episodes in life, including birth, marriage and death, to encourage understanding of the customs and practices of these dignified people. Elements of everyday life, such as the manner in which the tribe is structured, and the impact of natural events that are so important to an agricultural community, are contrasted with their belief system, myths, legends and religion.Covering their history, their relationships with other ethnic groups, their social organisation and daily lives, their customs and religious beliefs, their art and folklore, and the impact of the Christian missions on their way of life, this wide-ranging account provides an excellent introduction to a fascinating culture, and deserves to be acknowledged as one of the most important books on this subject.Includes a glossary of Santali words and kinship terms.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A collection of essays by and about the missionary Roland Allen, focusing on his critique of the ministry and the inherited Church policy that surrounds it.No one was more radically critical of the ministry and the inherited Church policy that surrounds it than Roland Allen (1868-1949), whose prophetic writings constantly challenge the whole mission of the Christian Church, and many of his most important essays are collected here along with contributions about him. After studying at Oxford, his clerical training was in Leeds. He went as a missionary to China for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG), where he stayed for twenty years. His experience convinced him that missionary methods needed changing, and that St Paul had more to offer than contemporary practice, and in particular that ministry should be centred in the laity. These ideas, unpopular at the time, have grown in importance, and Roland Allen's influence is now greater than at any time. In this volume, Paton, with the co-operation of Grubb and King, has written on the central concerns of Allen's life and how his witness gave rise to many fruitful enterprises in different parts of the world. Many new writings of Allen's are included in the volume, and Grubb tells the story of the Survey Application Trust which, for over half a century played a formative and pioneering part in the mission of the church. This title adds a lot of new information and throws fresh light on the modern history of many Christian enterprises, and extends current debate over the role of the laity.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The first comparative account of West African beliefs regarding the soul, and the spiritual powers of man and animals.This book is a groundbreaking comparative study of African religion and psychology, dealing with the concept of the soul in West African belief. Based on personal research supported by anthropological study, this examination of West African thought on the soul, and spiritual powers of man and animals, concentrates predominantly on the western coast and hinterland, from the Ivory Coast to Eastern Nigeria.This is a comprehensive and interesting selection of the beliefs that have moulded West African psychology, including perceptions of future lives and reincarnation, to physical and spiritual metamorphoses.

The supernatural is also addressed, as are deep beliefs in ghosts and the interpretation of dreams.This subject is not only deeply absorbing, but is also one of practical importance to all those who are interested, personally and professionally, in religion, as well as to any others whose work leads them into personal relationships with West African people. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An examination of the history of the Book of Common Prayer in the Nonconformist churches.In this book, Peaston challenges the common assumption that the Prayer Book is the exclusive possession of the Church of England and the Anglican Communion, and researches its adoption in the Free Churches of England. Peaston acknowledges the Catholic revisions of the Prayer Book since its establishment during the reign of Elizabeth I, but concentrates predominantly on the Protestant revisions which ultimately heralded the way for much liturgical revision in the Free Churches. He also focuses upon the development of liturgical worship in those communions which were generally regarded as belonging to the strict Protestant tradition. Peaston explores how the Prayer Book found a new home amongst Methodists, Moravians, Congregationalists, and Swedenborgians, as well as several others. He explores its traditional importance to them, and its modern relevance. Free Churchmen may have left the Establishment with or without regret, but the cadences of Cranmer and ancient Anglican piety have lingered in unforgotten memory amongst Nonconformists. In his Foreword the late Professor E.C. Ratcliff comments that: 'It is no exaggeration to say that Peaston has completed the extra-Anglican history of the Prayer Book. In so doing, he has made a notable contribution to the history of English religion.'.…

The second two volumes then comprise a study of the subsequent medieval developments.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The first series of van Leeuwen's Gifford Lectures examining the young Karl Marx's developing thought.The first series of van Leeuwen's Gifford Lectures shows that Christian philosophy occupied a key position in Marx's view of world history and his confrontation with it played an important role in his development as a thinker. Van Leeuwen has written a thoughtful account of this confrontation and of Marx's critiques of religion which was one of the major themes of his early thought. 'It is not the religious situation as such which preoccupies him during these early years,' van Leeuwen writes, 'any more than it is the question of economics as such which will absorb his attention during the mature period of his life. The point at stake is an underlying problem, which lies at the root of the religious as well as the economic question,' - how to alter radically a universal, though man-made, philosophical or economic system. Van Leeuwen's exploration of the encounter between the young Marx and Christianity is a provocative and important reinterpretation of Marx's thought that points towards a new view of the religious and economic systems with which Marx was concerned.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A study of the tension between early Christian belief and Jesus's teaching, and the question of how that teaching is reflected in the Gospel record.Reissued after many years, this is an important contribution to the debate about the relationship between early Christian belief about Jesus and Jesus' own teaching, and the problem that the Gospels, while professing to record the teaching of Jesus do so through the eyes of early Christians.The study underlines the questions over the authenticity of the Gospel references to Jesus as the Son of Man and how the early church understood the concept.…
