Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Characteristics of Christian Morality: Considered in Eight Lectures "Also I direct and appoint, that the eight Divinity Lecture Sermons shall be preached upon either of the following Subjects - to confirm and establish the Christian Faith, and to confute all heretics and schismatics - upon the divine authority of the holy Scriptures - upon the authority of the writings of the primitive Fathers, as to the faith and practice of the primitive Church - upon the Divinity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ - upon the Divinity of the Holy Ghost - upon the Articles of the Christian Faith, as comprehended in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds. "Also I direct, that thirty copies of the eight Divinity Lecture Sermons shall be always printed, within two months after they are preached; and one copy shall be given to the Chancellor of the University, and one copy to the Head of every College, and one copy to the Mayor of the city of Oxford, and one copy to be put into the Bodleian Library; and the expense of printing them shall be paid out of the revenue of the Land or Estates given for establishing the Divinity Lecture Sermons; and the Preacher shall not be paid, nor be entitled to the revenue, before they are printed. "Also I direct and appoint, that no person shall be qualified to preach the Divinity Lecture Sermons, unless he hath taken the degree of Master of Arts at least, in one of the two Universities of Oxford or Cambridge; and that the same person shall never preach the Divinity Lecture Sermons twice."

Download or read book Characteristics of Christian Morality written by John Bampton and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-17 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instead of a thick volume, with voluminous notes and appendices, here is a thin volume, with a small appendix consisting of brief notes. There is no profession of deep research or extensive reading. The author deals, of course, more or less with the principles and arguments of Mill, Lecky, F. W. Newman, and a few other authors of mark, but he does not quote them at much length, or employ any elaborate induction of evidence or argument in confutation of those who deny the authority or the supremacy of Christian morality. Possibly, however, the book may be not the less useful. It is not too long for even the busy to read; it is acute, honest, tender, not eloquent "out of season," but eloquent "in season." It is not cumbrous in its coil of thought, and wears no appearance of abstruseness; but yet it holds in view the deepest questions, and is not seldom marked by suggestions which are very bold and far-reaching. The tone of the whole book is elevated, and the treatment throughout clear and healthy. The successive heads of the chapters will indicate to some extent the order of thought and discussion. They are as follows: What is morality? Virtue is Unselfishness; Vice is Selfishness. Christianity and the Appetites. Christianity and Ambition. Christianity and Self-dependence. The Universality of Christian Morality. Alleged Defects of Christian Morality. Summary and Conclusion. In the lecture on Virtue is Unselfishness, the lecturer lays it down that self-consciousness is the one human property which differences and defines the race. "All else, even within the man, is but as the dress which he wears, the apparatus with which he is equipped, the dwelling assigned to him for his sojourn. His faculties of intellect, of emotion, are not himself. He is a machine, if you will, but a machine with a living person continually adjusting, directing, controlling it; and that person is himself." .... "Once let us grasp the idea that the faculties, moral and intellectual, of a Shakespeare, or of a Plato, are like his money, or his dress, or his bodily health, a part of what he has, rather than of what he is, then we can understand how the street-Arab from the Seven Dials, who starts in the race of life so grievously weighted, or the peasant who plods along with disqualifications in their own way as serious, may, if they do their best, find themselves one day on a level with the philosopher and the statesman who have lived and died faithful to their high calling; and this without ceasing to be themselves." The lecture on Christianity and Self-dependence contains true and beautiful thoughts excellently expressed. -The London Quarterly Review, Volume 42 [1874]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Does the Bible Teach about How to Live in Today's World? How should Christians live when the surrounding culture is increasingly hostile to Christian moral values? Granted, the Bible is our guide—but how can we know if we are interpreting it rightly with regard to ethical questions about wealth and poverty, marriage and divorce, birth control, abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, ethical business practices, environmental stewardship, and dozens of other issues? And on a very practical level, how can we know God's will in the ordinary decisions of life? To address questions like these, Wayne Grudem, author of the bestselling book Systematic Theology, draws on 40 years of teaching classes in ethics to write this wide-ranging introduction to biblical moral reasoning, organized according to the structure of the Ten Commandments. He issues a challenging call for Christians to live lives of personal holiness and offers a vision of the Christian life that is full of joy and blessing through living each day in a way that is pleasing to God. Written by Wayne Grudem: Bestselling author of Systematic Theology and the What the Bible Says About series Biblical and Applicable: Teaches readers how to protect 7 central tenets of God's law: God's honor, human authority, life, marriage, property, truth, and purity of heart Accessible: An ideal textbook for Christian college and seminary ethics classes, with straightforward language and a bibliography for the topic at the end of each chapter Replaces ISBN 978-1-4335-4965-6

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolf Koberle's 'The Quest for Holiness' is a significant contribution to world religious literature and a work of abiding value. As such it well deserves translation into the English language and widespread distribution among English language readers. Although written by a profound scholar, this book is not merely for theologians but for all who desire a sound, scriptural setting forth of the truths and the implications for each individual embodied in the steps of justification and sanctification. For simplicity, clarity, and completeness on this subject, this book is unsurpassed. It is written not merely with ink but with the lifeblood of the true believer striving daily for greater holiness and God-pleasing perfection.
