A Woman Through and ThroughIn a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one handmaking it irrelevantand glorify it on the othermaking it everythingits hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called "woman."This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christas a womanlooks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christs mission and work.

На войне трудно завоевать врага без выстрела. Но когда это духовная война -чем стрелять? Главный герой книги нашел ответ на этот вопрос, завоевав сотни людей для Бога.Завоевать без выстрела... Абсурд

Die vorliegende Studie entspricht einem wachsenden Bedurfnis, sich im Gemeinde-Aufbau und in der Auftragssetzung ganz neu nach der Bibel zu orientieren. Der Verfasser bestatigt nicht eine bestehende Norm, sondern versucht, die Probleme des Gemeindelebens ganz neu ins richtungsweisende Licht der Heiligen Schrift zu stellen.Das zeigen schon die einleitenden Gedanken uber die Zugehorigkeit zur Gemeinde Jesu, die in Ubereinstimmung mit Gottes Wort einer jahrhundertealten Tradition entgegenstehen.Sehr wichtig ist der Blickpunkt, dass Gaben und Funktionen in unzertrennlichem Zusammenhang stehen. Diese biblische Schau dient als notwendiges Korrektiv allen Gaben-Bewegungen gegenuber, die eine ganze Theologie der Charismata neben die Hauptakzente der Heilsverkundigung stellt. Andererseits dienen die Ausfuhrungen als echte Herausforderung einem festen Amtsdenken gegenuber, wo menschliche Einrichtungen weitgehend die Gnadengaben und gottliche Berufung ersetzt haben und fur uberflussig erklaren.Auerordentlich wichtig ist das vom Verfasser skizzierte Anliegen der bewussten Forderung des Jugendunterrichts bis hin zur vorgeschlagenen Grundung von christlich gefuhrten Schulen.Die verschiedenen Skizzen fassen das Anliegen des Verfassers hilfreich zusammen und zeigen die Notwendigkeit einer echt helfenden Kritik an festgefahrenen Systemen, eroffnen aber zugleich viele Moglichkeiten zu einem wertvollen Neuansatz, den zu verwirklichen sich ein ganzer Einsatz lohnt.

In the study of Christian eschatological thought, virtually no attention has been given to past interpretations of the biblical phrase the new heavens and earth. John Duff uncovers the interpretations of this phrase that were extant in seventeenth-century England. These interpretations fall into two basic campsthose that understood the phrase metaphorically and those that understood the phrase literally.Some English divines believed the new heavens and earth referred to the new age of the gospel that commenced in the first century CE. At that time, God flung open the doors of salvation to Gentiles while at the same time bringing judgment to the Jewish nation for its failure to recognize and embrace Jesus as Messiah. This epic transition was fittingly described as a new heavens and earth.A second group of English interpreters believed the phrase stood for a yet future time when the political and religious circumstances of the world would change for the betterment of the church for one thousand years. The new heavens and earth stood for a future millennium in which Christ would establish his reign over the world prior to the day of resurrection and final judgment. Theologians who accepted a literal understanding believed the new heavens and earth described the renovation of the physical creation at the final judgment. Among this group, differences of opinion existed with respect to how much of the world would need cleansing, what creatures would be restored and of what use would a renovated world serve. The idea that the earth, and not heaven, would be the final abode of the saints emerged among a few obscure writers.

Stephen J. Hamilton attempts to create a "portrait" of "born-again" Christianity by providing a general introduction to the doctrine of regeneration, including its development in modernity, as well as short exegeses of relevant scriptural texts, followed by a close reading of four theologians Philipp Jakob Spener, Jonathan Edwards, Friedrich D.E. Schleiermacher, and Charles G. Finney who all associate the doctrine of regeneration with an experience of presence in the individual believer.In light of these analyses, he then traces a general theological structure of the "born-again" understanding of regeneration, including a catalogue of theological issues over which there is significant disagreement, in order to create a topography of "born-again" theologies. In the final section, he applies these results to contemporary conversion narratives of non-theologians. It is in such conversion narratives, the author argues, that theologians can discover an implicit, "lived" theology that reveals how doctrines are perceived and put into practice among Christians. Accordingly, this is to be understood as the result of the creative reciprocity between (often tacit) theological convictions and the experiences of the Christian life. The final chapter, as a coda to the entire work, offers some concluding reflections on the present cultural and political situation in the USA pertaining to "born-again" Christianity and argues against any oversimplifications of the relationship between "born-again" theologies, culture, and politics.

Christianity Today Book Award The Gospel Coalition Book Award"I believe he descended to the dead."The descent of Jesus Christ to the dead has been a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith, as indicated by its inclusion in both the Apostles and Athanasian Creeds. Falling between remembrance of Christs death on Good Friday and of his resurrection on Easter Sunday, this affirmation has been a cause for Christian worship and reflection on Holy Saturday through the centuries.At the same time, the descent has been the subject of suspicion and scrutiny, perhaps especially from evangelicals, some of whom do not find support for it within Scripture and have even called for it to be excised from the creeds.Against this conflicted landscape, Matthew Emerson offers an exploration of the biblical, historical, theological, and practical implications of the descent. Led by the mystery and wonder of Holy Saturday, he encourages those who profess faith in Christ to consider the whole work of our Savior.

Tierra prometida, tierra perdida, tierra recuperada Es posible que este motivo sea uno de los elementos esenciales de la gran intriga de la Biblia. Está la tierra en su extensión más amplia, aquella cuya creacion por parte de Dios se cuenta al principio del libro del Genesis. Esta la tierra particular prometida a Abrahan: Ve a la tierra que yo te mostrare, y dada al pueblo de Israel, tierra que mana leche y miel y por la que corrio sangre. El presente trabajo se ha elaborado para tratar de responder a una pregunta: la historia de la alianza entre Dios y la humanidad, ¿pasaria por el don de una tierra a Israel? ¿No tendria cualquier tierra humana como vocacion convertirse en tierra de alianza?

Recibira su recompensa abundante y desbordante.
