Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Before Jonathan Edwards, Adriaan Neele seeks to balance the recent academic attention to the developments of intellectual history after Jonathan Edwards. Neele presents the first comprehensive study of Edwards's use of Reformed orthodox and Protestant scholastic primary sources in the context of the challenges of orthodoxy in his day. Despite the breadth of Edwards scholarship, his use of primary sources has been little analyzed. Yet, as Neele proves, Edwards's thinking on the importance of these primary sources has significant implications not only for the status of the New England theology of pre-Revolutionary America but also for our understanding of Edwards today. This volume locates Edwards's ideas in the context of the theological and philosophical currents of his day, as well as in the pre-modern exchange of books and information during the colonial period. The pre-Revolutionary status of theology and philosophy in the wake of the Enlightenment had many of the same problems we see in our theological education today with respect to the use and appropriation of classical theology in a 21st-century context. Ideas about the necessity of classical primary sources of Christianity in sustaining our theological education are once again becoming important, and Edwards offers many relevant insights. Edwards was not unique in his deployment of these primary sources; many New England pastors, including Cotton Mather (166301728), preached and wrote about the necessity of orthodox theology. Edwards's distinction came in his thinking about the issues set forth in these sources at a transitional moment in the history of Christian thought.
Download or read book Sola Scriptura written by Sidney Greidanus and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2001-10-31 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with a key question every pastor faces nearly every week in preparing sermons. That question concerns the appropriate manner of treating the historical material of the Scriptures. In the history of the Christian Church this material has often served as the basis for moral lessonsÓ or intellectual truths.Ó This study presents a careful analysis of the way in which this age-old controversy surfaced in the revival of redemptive-historical theology in the Reformed churches in Holland between the two world wars. It also presents the basis for a fresh approach and is thus exceedingly helpful for both pastors and students.

Download or read book The Touch of the Sacred written by Gerrit Immink and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world Christian communities meet on Sunday morning for worship. But what really happens during a worship service? How do worshipers participate in the service? What does it mean to sing, pray, and celebrate the Lord's Supper together? What do worshipers do when they listen to a sermon? In The Touch of the Sacred Gerrit Immink offers thoughtful theological reflection on the religious practice of worship services in the Protestant tradition. He develops a theology of worship with a clear focus on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as he explores the meaning of worship, the mystery of Christ, the sacraments, prayer, and preaching. Ultimately, he says, something dynamic happens when a church congregation speaks and acts: it is touched by the sacred, by a very encounter with the living God.
Download or read book Redemptive Historical Hermeneutics and Homiletics written by Yung Hoon Hyun and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on redemptive historical hermeneutics and homiletics within New Testament theology. This is a valuable legacy of the Reformed tradition, despite differences in interpreting and preaching Bible texts that surfaced in Holland (1920s and 1930s) and the United States (1970s onwards) before influencing Korean Reformed churches. The background, origin, distinctiveness, and development of these theological debates is explored and evaluated before the features of redemptive history in Korea are identified. The influence of Western redemptive-historical scholars on the Korean debate are also analyzed. Here is a major and contemporary contribution to reformed-historical hermeneutics and homiletics that is relevant for Korean Reformed churches, but also for all Reformed churches worldwide.

Download or read book The Spirituality of the Heidelberg Catechism written by Arnold Huijgen and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the occasion of the 450th anniversary of the Heidelberg Catechism, an international conference on the spirituality of the Heidelberg Catechism was held at the Theological University Apeldoorn, 21-22 June 2013. This publication offers the plenary papers presented, and a selection of the short papers. While the papers center on the Catechism's spirituality, a wide range of topics is covered, from both historical and theological perspectives. These topics include: the roles of Ursinus and Olevianus, controverse theologians, anabaptist spirituality, comparisons with Calvin's Genevan Catechism and the later Synopsis of Purer Theology. Also, the distinct spirituality of faith, regeneration, the trinity, the law and prayer in the Heidelberg Catechism are scrutinized, besides the idea of mystical union and the art of dying and living. Three contributions reflect on the controversy on the Eucharist which has stamped the Heidelberg Catechism. From a practical-theological perspective, the preaching and teaching of the Catechism are discussed, as well as the mode of gospel presentation and the permanent character of catechetical instruction. So, this volume offers a broad range of scholarly perspectives on the Catechism. Its spirituality is famous for the first question and answer, on the only comfort in life and death: That I am not my own, but belong – body and soul, in life and in death – to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.""

Download or read book A Continental View Johannes Cocceius s Federal Theology of the Sabbath written by Casey B. Carmichael and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carmichael argues that Johannes Cocceius's theology of the Sabbath serves as a window through which one can view more clearly his federal theology or covenant theology. Covenant theology was the most distinctive feature of his theology. Moreover, Cocceius spent a notable portion of his life engaging in the Leiden Sabbath Controversies from 1655 to 1659, which played a key role in the split of the Reformed Dutch Republic into two socio-political blocs—Cocceians and Voetians. So far scholars have tended to overlook this critical phase in Cocceius's theological development. Carmichael sheds light on it by looking at the theological texts that Cocceius wrote that absorbed his attention during this significant period. Casey Carmichael examines first the evolution of the problem of the Sabbath in Cocceius's theological tradition—Reformed Orthodoxy—in Chapters 2–4 and second the development of Cocceius's doctrine of the Sabbath, structured around the Leiden Sabbath Controversies, in Chapters 5–8.
Download or read book Die reis gaan inwaarts written by Cas Wepener and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "e;By Schoeman word individuasie nie 'n selfsugtige wegkeer van die realiteit nie - daarvoor is sy werk te betrokke by die situasies van die dag. Maar dit help om afstand te skep. Die onthegting van die omringende is nie 'n selfsugtige inkeer na binne nie, nie 'n verlammende onttrekking nie, maar 'n inwaartse reis wat stimuleer tot kreatiewe ondersoek van die onbewuste. Die romans neem die leser op daardie stille reis. Hulle bied ervarings van 'n ontmoeting met die stilte, met die self. Hierdie werk van Wepener slaag daarin om iets van hierdie proses en inwaartse reis te verduidelik, sonder om voorskriftelik of moraliserend te raak. Juis daarom gee Wepener uiteindelik op 'n praktiese manier leiding aan diegene wat met die dood gekonfronteer word."e; Vanuit die Voorwoord deur Willie Burger, Mei 2017
