Download or read book A Civic Spirituality of Sanctification written by Roger Haight and published by Past Light on Present Life: Th. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the spirituality of John Calvin in three short texts drawn from his Institutes of the Christian Religion. Many consider Calvin the most influential thinker of the sixteenth century. His ideas flowed from Geneva into northern Europe, to the English-speaking lands of Britain, and through the Puritans to North America. The prolific writings of Calvin across several genres open up many aspects of Christian living, and each one offers an entrée to his spirituality. On the sup-position that "spirituality" refers to the way people or groups lead their lives in relation to ultimacy, three texts have been chosen to form the axis for this interpretation of Calvin's contribution. These texts deal with his theological view of law, a definition of sanctification, and a short treatise on the Christian life. The portrait of Calvin's spirituality that emerges from these texts and the larger framework of his theology, his ecclesiology, and his career as church leader and civic organizer can be summarized in the following phrase: a practical spirituality of sanctification by participation in society. One cannot find all of that in these texts, but they establish a platform on which the pieces fall into place. The story of his early life and formation, along with several key ideas that characterize the man and his vision, will help to draw a sharper, more distinctive picture of at least this influential aspect of Calvin's spirituality. It is one that bears direct relevance, with appropriate adjustments, to life today.

Download or read book Sanctification written by Bishop Ron Hill and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For ages the vast majority of humanity has been asking a driving question of completion: "How do I reconcile myself to my Creator and His will?" The subsequent debates and historical hashing has resulted in a more complete understanding of how humanity can return to God; however, the Body of Christ has experienced more division than unity in the process. In Sanctification: the Neglected Spiritual Experience, Bishop Ron Hill bravely tackles reconciliation of the Body of Christ. With fidelity to Scripture, he posits that denominational walls are unnecessary side effects and that the process of sanctification can be unifying doctrine in the Christian faith. Without a doubt, Bishop Hill challenges age-old notions of what the process of becoming "Christlike" means. Unlike some contemporaries, he embraces Scripture for those answers. This book is as much about sanctifying humanity as sanctifying a human. Can such a historically divisive doctrine be the key to unity in Christianity? Every reader should absorb this central concept while asking, "How does my soul and spirit play a part?"

Download or read book Sanctification written by Philip Ogbuehi and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-03 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanctification is a very important religious topic that is not discussed enough by Christians and believers who endeavor to live good lives. The book addresses difficult questions about what "sanctification" is, how sanctification relates to one's spiritual path, and how sanctification is described in the Bible. Sanctification is not attained through works but through the finished works of Christ. Aiming for sanctification by works negates the invaluable price that Jesus paid on the cross of Calvary. Sanctification closely follows the scriptures in order to reveal to readers how important it is that we glorify and honor God in our daily lives. Sanctification is an ongoing process, and this book clearly and astutely outlines the way people can begin, and continue on, their paths towards righteousness.

Book excerpt: "The Call to Holiness was inspired by the fundamental conviction that spirituality without morality is disembodied and morality without spirituality is rootless. In other words, our moral life arises out of our spirituality to become its public face. Furthermore, what we do to nurture our spirituality through spiritual practices can and ought to have an effect on our moral practices. In the end, spirituality and morality converge when we consider life as a whole rather than simply focus on individual actions in the moral life or devotional practices in the spiritual life."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Way of Sanctification written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by Christian Way. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents of this book are fundamental. God calls all who are His to a sanctified life. The life of a believer in which sin reigns is subnormal. However, many believers find themselves bound by sin. They are like Lazarus walking out of the tomb with life, but in bondage. In this book, we have attempted to show as clearly as we can, the way to deliverance from sin. We do not believe that anyone can be as sinless as the Lord Jesus was while in this body of flesh, but this state is already accomplished in the Lord Jesus and therefore, we can be delivered once and for all from the bondage of sin. We also see that this deliverance, though entered into as a crisis, must be maintained daily by a very close walk with the Lord, in full co-operation with Him, by the use of the sanctified mind. The Psalmist asked, "How can a young man keep his way pure?" He provided the answer as follows, "By guarding it according to thy word. With my whole heart I seek thee, let me not wander from thy commandment! I have laid up thy word in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed be thou, O Lord; teach me thy statutes! With my lips I declare all the ordinances of thy mouth. In the way of thy testimonies I delight as much as in all riches. I will meditate on thy precepts, and fix my eyes on thy ways. I will delight in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word" (Psalm 119:9-16). We believe with him that daily Bible study and prayer (The Quiet Time) is indispensable in maintaining the sanctified life which is first entered into by faith in the finished work of Christ. Holiness is not just the absence of sin. It includes conformity to God. Sanctification is an aspect of holiness. Our prayer is that the Lord will use this book to work out sanctification in many lives and that many will attain unto "the holiness without which no one will see the Lord."

Download or read book Enlightened Spirituality written by Roger Haight and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents reflections on the nature of Christian spirituality in the light of Immanuel Kant’s work Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals. It also contains two short comments on Kant’s work: Paul Tillich directly engages Kant’s moral philosophy, and Reinhold Niebuhr indirectly addresses him with his reflections on the role of conscience in religious experience. The whole volume rests on the constituent role that morality, and hence ethics, plays in a comprehensive understanding of Christian spirituality. Kant adds to that discussion by introducing the voice of the Enlightenment into the conversation. His work serves as a bridge between the spirituality displayed in the Medieval and Reformation periods and what may be called modern Western culture. Christians who are socialized into twenty-first century Western intellectual culture may be relatively unfamiliar with the cultures that spawned the characteristic accents of the spiritual languages that are learned in the churches today. When they move into the world of higher education, they will learn a whole series of ideas from science and critical modern thought that directly challenge the ordinary spiritual conceptions of church traditions. The critical discussion between intellectual culture and Christianity during the period of the Enlightenment was deep and serious, and it helps to explain how the churches in the West relate to present-day intellectual culture. Kant’s text on the metaphysics of morals presents in an exemplary way the deep questions that Christian spirituality faces today with almost laboratory precision. The two commentators neatly draw the conversation into contexts that are closer to life in the world of our time.
