Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There is a difference between that which is and that which is to be. Anthropologically: there is a way I am, and the way I am to be, or not to be. How are we to explain this This book presents the argument that human nature is both comple…x and complicated in at least two specific ways--ontologically and ethically. In our being we are indisputably good, dignified, worthy, important, or even noble. But in our morality we are ambivalent--capable of both good and evil, the humane and the inhumane.In his paramount work Jan Amos Comenius expresses the goal of his lifelong endeavor: ''to help keep man from falling into a non-man'' (Pampaedia). If human beings are to become what they ought to be, they need to be educated towards humanity, says Comenius. But the fundamental question is, what is a human being And what ought one to be ''Salt ought to be salty. A river ought to be clear. A knife ought to be sharp. But what ought a person to be '' What is the essence of our humanity And how can that be cultivated or educated This book presents Comenius's answers to these questions.''Jan Habl has done a wonderful service for educators everywhere by recalling Comenius's vision of whateducation isand what education should be. Two types of educators will especially benefit: those who find beauty and truth in creation and Scripture, and those who value virtue and piety as worthy educational goals.Reading this book can only encourage deep thought, productive discussion, and, in Comenius's own words, motivation 'to follow Him.'It is deserving of a wide audience.I enthusiastically recommend it.''Duane H. Elmer, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Educational Studies, Emeritus; G. W. Aldeen Professor of International Studies, retired, Trinity International University/Divinity School''Professor Habl has provided us a fascinating and wide-ranging exegesis of Comenius's anthropology and the many implications for education and human flourishing. I highly commend this book to all who are called to the task of education and wish to think well about the ends and means of this endeavor.''Stan W. Wallace,President and CEO, Global ScholarsJan Habl is a professor of pedagogy at universities in Usti nad Labem and Hradec Kralove (Czech Republic). 202 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Many restorationist-oriented associations like the Advent Christian Church often embrace two conflicting principles. First, they understand the Bible's inspiration and authority in a way that minimizes the importance and value of church t…radition. Second, they give high value to individual autonomy both in biblical interpretation and in church governance. Adventism Confronts Modernity describes what can happen when these principles conflict and make it difficult to resolve theological conflict.This work begins by exploring the nineteenth-century historical and theological roots of early Adventism with special attention to William Miller and the theological impact of the Great Disappointment, the failed prediction of the early Adventists that Jesus Christ would return visibly in 1843 or 1844. Subsequent chapters explore the Fundamentalist-Modernist controversies of the early twentieth century and focus on the impact of those events on the two colleges that trained Advent Christian clergy--Aurora College (now Aurora University) and New England School of Theology (later Berkshire Christian College).After discussing theological reform efforts within the Protestant mainline and fundamentalist coalitions, this book describes the conflicting views regarding the Bible's inspiration that emerged in the early twentieth century and their impact on the Advent Christian Church during the 1950s and 1960s. It concludes that further reflection is needed on both the doctrine of Holy Scripture and how restorationist movements balance Christian theology with individual and congregational autonomy.''Prepare yourselves for an intellectual feast!In his well-researched, reliable, and winsome account, Mayer provides his readers with a rare glimpse into a fascinating new world:a world that may be filled with lots of unfamiliar faces and even some interesting new places, but that is also populated by lots of surprisingly familiar issues.By allowing his readers to view these old issues through new lenses, he helps us all to see the challenges and possibilities more clearly.''Garth M. Rosell, Senior Research Professor of Church History, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary''This fine book offers a fascinating window into the Protestant battle for the Bible through tracing the Advent Christian Church's theological journey.Mayer's overview of the modernist/fundamentalist controversy and post-WWII Evangelicalism's influence upon the Advent tradition provides a unique window for understanding how views of Scripture's inspiration shape the church.A great introduction to the trajectory of twentieth-century Protestant theological diversity.''S. Donald Fortson, III, DMin, PhD, Professor of Church History and Practical Theology, Director, DMin Program, Reformed Theological SeminaryRobert J. Mayer is Senior Librarian and Assistant Professor of Theological Bibliography at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, where he has served since 1997. He is based at the seminary's Charlotte, North Carolina campus. 214 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ever since Bishop Stillingfleet accused John Locke of having unwittingly paved the way with his Essay for the alleged heresy promulgated in John Toland's Christianity Not Mysterious, the latter two thinkers and works have been consistentl…y joined in histories of philosophy covering the rise of natural religion in England. While scholars have generally thought that Locke got the better of the good bishop in their subsequent written exchanges initiated by the charge, they appear merely to assume that Stillingfleet correctly read Toland and that Locke accepts that reading. Perhaps the most obvious piece of evidence favoring that stance is that while Locke clearly admits ''above reason'' doctrines, Toland dismisses them: Christianity is not mysterious! It is curious, however, that Toland scholars readily point out many concepts that Toland used as being the same as or different from Lockean notions about which many Locke scholars are admittedly perplexed. Through patient exposition of relevant texts and letters, deconstruction of scholarly works, and careful reasoning, this book shows that Toland's deviations from Locke regarding reason and faith are far more minor than anyone has concluded. Stillingfleet was correct to connect them, but was incorrect in the way that he did it.''This book is a fine example of 'revisionist' scholarship done properly.It is not a 'creative' or 'liberating' new interpretation, but an insightful re-reading of the primary texts and scholarly literature that is historically, philosophically, and theologically well informed.''John W. Cooper, PhD, Professor of Philosophical Theology, Calvin Theological Seminary''Jonathan Marko's Measuring the Distance between Locke and Toland provides new insight into the close relationship between Locke and Toland on the issue of reason and revelation, demonstrating greater proximity between their positions than has been previously argued. Beyond this, Marko's revisionist paradigm of the spectrum of opinion on reason and revelation illuminates our understanding of the wider debates of the era among traditionalists, Lockians, and deists--all in all a highly significant addition to the literature.''Richard A. Muller, Senior Fellow, Junius Institute for Digital Reformation Research; P. J. Zondervan Professor of Historical Theology, Emeritus, Calvin Theological Seminary''The story of the rise of deism often mentions connections between John Locke and John Toland, but those connections are not well understood. Scholarship on Toland, in particular, suffers from longstanding misinterpretations of his views. In this groundbreaking study, Marko provides insights into the thought of both Locke and Toland and sets both figures into their larger intellectual context.''Ronald J. Feenstra, Academic Dean, Professor of Systematic and Philosophical Theology, Calvin Theological Seminary''Marko states a clear thesis and proceeds to defend it by careful reasoning and accurate exposition of relevant texts. In the course of so doing he demolishes the fiction that Toland is simply 'Locke minus revelation,' and patiently expounds their writings, and those of Stillingfleet, with a view to showing how misreadings of Toland's relationship with Locke have arisen.''Alan SellDr. Jonathan S. Marko is Assistant Professor of Philosophical and Systematic Theology at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 212 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This collection of essays by British Baptists honors the work of Christopher Ellis amongst the Baptist community, recognizing in particular the contribution he has made to the practice and theology of Free Church worship. The book takes a… selection of his hymns as a starting point for reflection on areas of worship, discipleship, the sacraments, and theology.''Gathering Disciplesis not only a well-deserved celebration of the contributions of Baptists' most significant liturgical theologian--it serves as a splendid showcase of the impressive theological work now being done by Baptist theologians in, with, and for their own tradition but also in, with, and for the whole church. An indispensable resource for the renewal of ecclesial life in Baptist and Free Church communities and for the ecumenical reception of the theological gifts these communities offer to the global church.''--Steven R. Harmon, Gardner-Webb University School of Divinity''Christopher Ellis's theology provides the beautiful through-line for a collection of essays on worship, ecumenism, doctrine, and life that sings in a distinctive Baptist key.Gathering Disciplesis a celebration of scholarship and a testament of love: one that deserves to be read by thoughtful Christians from every tradition.'' --Melanie Ross, Yale Institute of Sacred Music and Yale Divinity School''In celebrating the work of Christopher Ellis, this collection offers a fascinating kaleidoscope of themes and thinkers in contemporary Baptist theology. More to that, however, it is a significant contribution to the wider conversations in Christian theology. Organized around the notion of 'sung theology,' this volume is a convincing illustration of the role of worship in both shaping and reflecting our faith.''--Lina Toth (Andronoviene), Scottish Baptist CollegeMyra Blyth is Chaplain and Tutorial Fellow in Worship and Pastoral Studies, Regent's Park College, Oxford.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the English-speaking Western world alone, thousands of men and women begin formal training for Christian ministry each year, or informally, seek to equip themselves for pastoral ministry. Over the past fifty years, the ancient world of… virtue ethics has been reimagined as a means of forming people of character and morality today, and in this book, it is used as the framework to understand what we are doing as we form Christian ministers now, and how we might strengthen that formation by more consciously linking the practices of ministry with the person, spirituality, and wisdom of the practitioner.Writing out of the context of a lifetime of pastoral ministry and the oversight of ministers in the Baptist Union of Great Britain, Paul Goodliff explores what pastors do and who they are called to be, using a mixture of theological and pastoral inquiry, reflections upon art, and personal story. This book will be of interest to those who are charged with forming the next generation of ministers; but anyone starting out on that journey of formation for ministry will also find this vision of ministry challenging and inspiring. ''In this important new book on formation for ministry, Paul Goodliff gets it exactly right in taking a whole-of-life approach. . . . All the knowledge and skill in the world is not much use if the pastor is not a good or virtuous person. Goodliff has that rare ability to connect with profound theological and philosophical thinking in a way that is both accessible and engaging. . . .'' --Neil Pembroke, University of Queensland ''Paul Goodliff writes with the authority and wisdom of one who has served as a pastor, as a pastor of pastors, and as a denominational leader with responsibility for succeeding generations of ministers, their selection, training, deployment, and support.Add to this the aptitude for constant theological reflection on practice and you end up with someone worth listening to. . . .'' --Nigel G. Wright, Spurgeon's College, London ''Marrying huge experience in managing ministers with a deeply incisive and well-informed mind, Goodliffoffers us an essential readerfor ministerial formationand continuing development. He rightly perceivesthe Achilles heel of ministerialliving: theformation andimplementationof a robustethic that is true toour Lord. This istreasuredreading forthosewho care for the instruction, supervision, and practice of Christian ministry.'' --Jim Purves, The Baptist Union of Scotland Paul Goodliff is Minister of Abingdon Baptist Church, Oxfordshire, and Associate Research Fellow at Spurgeon's College, London. He has pastored churches in London and Stevenage; been General Superintendent of the Baptist Union's Central Area and its Head of Ministry.
