Download or read book Creation and Fall Temptation written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1997-03-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this enlightening study, renowned twentieth-century theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer offers a careful textual analysis of the story of creation, approaching the biblical tale of Genesis with the eye of a philosopher and the soul of a true Christian. “Creation and Fall” is Bonhoeffer’s lucid, brilliant analysis of the first three chapters of Genesis. Here he discusses the seeming scientific naiveté behind the creation story, God’s love and goodness, and humanity’s creation, its free will, and its blessedness. Bonhoeffer also tackles difficult questions that are raised from the first book of the Bible, questions about the seemingly redundant second story of creation, about God’s own beginning, about the source of the light that was created the first day. The author then expounds upon Adam and Eve’s fall from grace: How could they, creatures made in God’s image, have thought to oppose God so foully? Where did the first evil come from? How did humanity lose its right to live in paradise? In “Temptation,” Bonhoeffer questions how temptation appeared in the midst of Eden’s innocence, and he explores the very nature of evil. Bonhoeffer explains that Jesus Christ helps us to understand and conquer physical and spiritual temptation through His grace and goodness.
Download or read book Irenaeus on Creation written by Matthew Steenberg and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-05-31 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarship on Irenaeus has long acknowledged the centrality of creation to his theology, yet without fitting this theme securely into the Christological vision of Christ the ‘Recapitulator’. Studies have considered elements of Irenaeus’ cosmology and anthropology in extraction; but without seeing creation as an intrinsic part of his Christocentric vision, these have only partially been able to capture the intricacy and significance of his embrace of the creation saga. Drawing on the most recent Irenaean scholarship, the present volume explores in detail the Christocentric cosmology of one of the second century’s greatest writers, setting him in the context of the theological currents of his day. The result is a volume that offers new insights into the trinitarian articulation of early Christianity, the full significance of humanity as bearing God’s ‘image’, and a fuller reading of the details behind the title, ‘Irenaeus the creationist’.
Download or read book Creation Regained written by Albert M. Wolters and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005-11-10 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: with a Postcript coauthored by Michael W. Goheen In print for two decades and translated into eight languages, Albert Wolters's classic formulation of an integrated Christian worldview has been revised and expanded to reach new readers beyond the generation that has already benefited from this clear, concise proposal for transcending the false dichotomy between sacred and secular. Wolters begins by defining the nature and scope of a worldview, distinguishing it from philosophy and theology. He then outlines a Reformed analysis of the three basic categories in human history -- creation, fall, and redemption -- arguing that while the fall reaches into every corner of the world, Christians are called to participate in Christ's redemption of all creation. This Twentieth Anniversary edition features a new concluding chapter, coauthored with Michael Goheen, that helpfully places the discussion of worldview in a broader narrative and missional context.
Download or read book Women Creation and the Fall written by Mary A. Kassian and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the sixties, feminists threw down the gauntlet to the church over its treatment of women. In response to this challenge, the church has reexamined and redefined time-honored Biblical principles. In many cases, it has obliterated all role distinctions between men and women. Although women have indeed been repressed and held back from ministry, the answer is not to reject Scriptural truth. Rather the church needs to return to properly implementing that truth. This book seeks to free women in their roles in the home and church. It lays the foundation for that freedom by a thorough analysis of the Bible's teaching on women's status and roles. The author points the way to reinstate a full Biblical ministry for women. "" Mary Kassian's... work is well researched in the most authoritative literature, arrives at convincing conclusions through sober and cogent logic, and edifies her readers through an excellent spirit that shines throughout the work in a clear, straightforward style." --Dr. Bruce Waltke, Westminster Theological Seminary "" I am impressed by the consistency and logic of the arguments..." --Gary Inrig, author

Book excerpt: An Award-Winning Challenge to Popular Ideas of the Kingdom According to Scot McKnight, "kingdom" is the biblical term most misused by Christians today. It has taken on meanings that are completely at odds with what the Bible says and has become a buzzword for both social justice and redemption. In Kingdom Conspiracy, McKnight offers a sizzling biblical corrective and a fiercely radical vision for the role of the local church in the kingdom of God. Now in paper.

Download or read book What Happened in the Garden written by Abner Chou and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2016 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evangelicals are no strangers to the creation versus evolution debate. Now the argument has spread beyond the contents of the creation account and into Genesis 2–3, with speculation about the historicity of Adam, and the fall. But does it matter which position one holds? Is anything really at stake? The faculty of The Master's College come together to contend that the second and third chapters of Genesis are indeed historical, that there are excellent reasons for believing so, and that it is an essential issue within Christian thought and life. The contents of these chapters establish the history of how everything in the world came to be what it is today. This Scripture passage—-Genesis 3 especially—-explains what we observe in the legal system, literature, gender roles, education, psychology, and science. Far from irrelevant, the theology and historicity of Genesis are in fact critical to our everyday lives. What Happened in the Garden? includes new scientific, literary, business, educational, and legal perspectives on creation. Through this multidisciplinary look at the debate, the contributors prove that to change our understanding of the fall is to change the way we understand reality, to revise the Christian worldview, and to reshape the faith itself.
