Download or read book God s Being Towards Fellowship written by Justin Stratis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justin Stratis explores the meaning of the biblical phrase 'God is love' through an examination of two quintessentially modern Protestant theologians: Friedrich Schleiermacher and Karl Barth. This book contains both a detailed engagement with Schleiermacher's untranslated lectures on Dialektik and their relation to his more well-known work, as well as a new assessment of Barth's doctrine of God which both respects his radical innovations and yet places him within the stream of traditional, catholic trinitarianism. After considering the complexities of theological predication, and comparing several classical and contemporary approaches to the implication of 'love', Stratis presents and ultimately commends the distinct approaches of Schleiermacher and Barth for their tendency to treat divine love as a 'conclusion' to the doctrine of God, rather than as a conceptual starting point. In contrast to many contemporary approaches, Stratis concludes with the suggestion that God's love is best conceived as his being toward fellowship, rather than as the eminent instance of loving fellowship understood according to human experiences of love.

Download or read book A Fellowship of Differents written by Scot McKnight and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling book about diversity and community, McKnight shares his personal experiences and his study of the Apostle Paul to answer this significant question: What is the church supposed to be? Local churches matter far more than we often know because they determine what Christian life looks like for you. The church McKnight grew up in was a fellowship of sames and likes. Mostly white, same beliefs about everything, same tastes in music and worship and sermons and lifestyle. But the church God designed, says McKnight, is meant to be a fellowship of difference and differents. A mixture of people from all across the map and spectrum: men and women, rich and poor, black and white, and everything in between. A Fellowship of Differents explores the church as God’s world-changing social experiment of bringing unlikes and differents to the table to share life with one another as a new kind of family, showing the world what love, justice, peace, reconciliation, and life together is designed by God to be.

Book excerpt: God’s world is full of good things. Ice-cold lemonade. The laughter of children. College football. Scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. A late night with old friends around a blazing campfire. God certainly knows how to give good gifts to his children. But where is the line when it comes to enjoying all the pleasurable things our world affords? In The Things of Earth, professor Joe Rigney offers perplexed Christians a breath of fresh air by lifting the burden of false standards and impossible expectations related to the Christian life—freeing readers to gratefully embrace every good thing we receive from the hand of God. Helping us avoid our tendency to forget the Giver on the one hand and neglect his gifts on the other, this much-needed book reminds us that God’s blessings should drive us to worship and that a passion for God’s glory can be as wide as the world itself.

Book excerpt: This thesis explores the meaning of the biblical phrase 'God is love' through an examination of two quintessentially modern Protestant theologies. After considering the complexities of theological predication and juxtaposing several classical and contemporary approaches to the matter, the distinct approaches of Friedrich Schleiermacher and Karl Barth are presented and ultimately commended for their tendency to treat divine love as a 'conclusion' to the doctrine of God, rather than as a conceptual starting point. In contrast to many contemporary approaches, the thesis concludes by suggesting that God's love is best conceived as his being toward fellowship, rather than as the eminent instance of loving fellowship understood according to human experiences of love (including that of being loved by God).

This book was released on 2020-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a Christian is not an individualistic or isolated activity. Believing also involves belonging. Being a Christian, by definition, involves belonging to the church. This is not a book full of ideas about how your church ought to change or what it needs to do in order to grow or to be successful. Rather it is about how we fit into our own church. There are hallmarks of church life that should be stamped on all our churches because they are applicable everywhere and anywhere -- New Testament values for any size of church, in any part of the world, at any time. Devoted to God's Church will serve to help new Christians understand what it is to be part of a church, and will also be a refreshing reminder to every Christian of what it should look like to belong to the family of God.
Download or read book The Word of God for the People of God written by J. Todd Billings and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills a real need for pastors and students. Though there is currently a large body of material on the theological interpretation of Scripture, most of it is highly specific and extremely technical. J. Todd Billings here provides a straightforward entryway for students and pastors to understand why theological interpretation matters and how it can be done. / A solid, constructive theological work, The Word of God for the People of God presents a distinctive Trinitarian, participatory approach toward reading Scripture as the church. Billings's accessible yet substantial argument for a theological hermeneutic is rooted in a historic vision of the practice of scriptural interpretation even as it engages a wide range of contemporary issues and includes several exegetical examples that apply to concrete Christian ministry situations.
Download or read book Fellowship with God in Spirit and Truth written by William H. Mulder and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final book in the three book "Fellowship" series and contains a comprehensive glossary that covers the subject material in all three, which is a great help to pastors, Bible study teachers or group leaders, as well as the individual reader, to find related texts and their explanation. A unique feature of these books is that each chapter is independent of the others so study can be selected at random to grow in understanding of God's word according to the need of the class or reader. One reason for texts next to the subjects being studied is to emphasize that all insights explained are not just an opinion but can be confirmed by a biblical search into the deeper truths of God's revelation to us with the Holy Spirit as our guide (1 Cor. 2:1-13). Read the comments in the foreword list. William H. Mulder The author from his earliest childhood memory believed in Jesus and took a public stand for Christ in his late teens. The urge to write was there in early youth and resulted in a published nature story at age thirteen. Many poems followed but writing slowed while raising and providing a good home and a Christian education for seven children. But when Israel became a nation again in 1948, in response to questions asked by others, he wrote in essay form Bible based answers about many things. These typed handouts, some fifty years old, but now updated to be relevant for today, provide the basis for all the Fellowship series. As a former deacon, elder and as a trained evangelist he challenges everyone to build their Christian faith on biblical truth. These books help you find them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Relationship and Fellowship written by David R. David R. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2022-02-27 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Relationship and fellowship are two key concepts in our Christian life. Relationship with God begins at the moment of Salvation and can never be broken. Fellowship with God can be interrupted when we sin. Understanding how the two are distinguished and how they are related is crucial to your Christian life. One does not have to agree with Anderson on every point to benefit greatly from this helpful book." Dr. David L. Allen Distinguished Professor of Preaching, George W. Truett Chair of Ministry Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas "With outstanding scholarship and insightful exegetical and theological reflection, Dr. Anderson shows that God's way of relating to children has always been in terms of relationship and fellowship. Our relationship with God can never be lost but our fellowship varies with our faith and obedience. He demonstrates that the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants are paralleled by other Ancient Near Eastern covenants between the monarch and his servants. Abraham began an eternal relationship with God in the Abrahamic Covenant. However, in the Mosaic Covenant He provided the conditions for fellowship with God for those who are in relationship with Him, that is, are saved. The implications on our daily walk with Christ are significant." Dr. Joseph Dillow President Emeritus of BEE World Author of Final Destiny "Dr. David Anderson's book, Relationship and Fellowship, is an unusual linking of easily accessible sermonic materials from a lifetime of rich preaching on the topic, and deeply detailed scholarly writing on the underlying exegetical and theological issues. In effect, the sermons in the first part of the book show practical application of the basic ideas; the second part of the book is like a Grand Footnote that explains that which informs the sermonic content. The great contribution of Anderson's book is his understanding that the Torah, Yahweh's Law for Israel, was a gift to a Redeemed People to maintain their Fellowship with God rather than a series of encouragements and threats to an unregenerate community to establish their Relationship with God." Dr. Ronald B. Allen Senior Professor of Bible Exposition Dallas Theological Seminary "The important distinction between relationship to Christ and fellowship with him is generally lost in the thinking of the average Christian. Professor Anderson has in this work clarified the issue and in an engaging and persuasive manner. I highly recommend this book for saints of all ages and theological sophistications." Eugene H. Merrill, PhD Distinguished Professor of Old Testament Studies Emeritus (ret.) Dallas Theological Seminary
