Rediscover the Majesty of the Ascended ChristThe doctrine of Christs ascension is often overlooked in the church today, yet it holds profound significance for Christian theology and the Christian life. The Glory of the Ascension by theologian Ross Hastings invites readers to rediscover this essential truth.

This inspiring volume offers an evangelical Protestant perspective, connecting the themes of glory and ascension to the vitality of the church and individual faith.This book: Provides an in-depth and constructive theological exploration of a neglected doctrine. Offers an evangelical Protestant account of the ascension and differentiates it from the atonement. Connects the ascension to the doctrines of God, Christ, the Spirit, salvation, the church, and eschatology. Gives an engaging invitation to wonder, worship, and participation in the triune life of God. This book is ideal for students and professors of theology, pastor theologians, and any Christians seeking theological depth. Discover the beauty of Gods glory revealed in the ascended Christ and order The Glory of the Ascension today.

This is a time travelers guide to the history of soccer, tracing its originsfrom a humble beginning to an established sport beloved worldwide. It is a story that spans five thousand years, from ancient Egypt to MesoAmerica, from the Greek Empire to Chinese Dynasties, and from the Roman Empire to medieval Britain.From the Middle Ages onwards, Britain and Ireland unfurl their lineage, from the lesser-known trapball and stoolball to the lamentably extinct camping and knappan. All forms find a voice in this book, as do hockey and hurling, baseball and bowling, tennis and golf. Primarily a narrative of British and Irish ball games, esteemed foreigners are welcomed: baggataway, knattleikur, soule, kolven, calcio. Many games come to life, revealing their motivations and their complex inner world. Still, soccer is firmly center stage. This is, after all, its picaresque journey. As the games sweep across history, the social, religious, and political contexts are threaded throughout, and this book is peppered with news snippets, anecdotes, comedy, and intrigue, which give the centuries life. Crammed with eccentric sports ephemera, untold tales, and unearthed acts, The Game That Would Be King is the most comprehensive work on the early history of ball games ever written.
