Download or read book Justification and God s Kingdom written by Seyoon Kim and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional understanding of Paul's doctrine of justification has an inherent problem of relating to his ethics. Following its anthropocentric approach to the doctrine, even "the New Perspective" makes little contribution toward resolving it. Hence, appreciating the facts that Paul places the doctrine in Romans within the inclusio of the Davidic Messiah Jesus' rule over all the nations as God's Son in Rom 1:3-5 and 15:12 and that his thesis about the doctrine in Rom 1:16-17 is but a soteriological statement about the effect of the Christologically formulated gospel of Rom 1:3-4, Seyoon Kim approaches the doctrine from both the Christological and anthropological perspectives. Thus he interprets justification as Herrschaftswechsel (cf. Kasemann), a transfer from the Satanic kingdom into the kingdom of God and his Son Jesus the Lord.

Book excerpt: The orthodoxy on 'justification', a watershed between the Roman and Reformed churches, has recently been much under debate in theological circles as new perspectives are advanced to break down the traditional barriers on this key salvation doctrine. Westminster Theological Seminary holds a respected place in the Reformed world as a trainer of future ministers and influencers in the church. What is their take on the issue? Is it all just an attempt to fit square pegs into round holes or are the holes already square? Members of the faculty here contribute the results of their investigations into the basis of the doctrine by looking at scripture, church history, apologetics and pastoral outworkings. This comprehensive study of the doctrine will enable you to look with clear eyes on the issues at stake in this key discussion for the future of the church. A Bibliography is also provided for further study of the subject. Westminster Theological Seminary was founded in 1929 as a seminary dedicated to education in the Reformed tradition. It grew out of Princeton Seminary with a conviction that the Bible is the only infallible rule of Christian faith and practice. Westminster was created specifically to carry on old Princeton's tradition of heart piety and solid learning. The faculty subscribes to the Westminster Confession of Faith. Contributors include Sinclair B. Ferguson, Richard B. Gaffin Jr., Lane G. Tipton, Peter A. Lillback, Carl R. Trueman, Jeffrey K. Jue, William Edgar, J. Stafford Carson, Alexander Finlayson. Also includes a full reprint of John Murray's classic "The Imputation of Adam's Sin."

Download or read book The Doctrine of Justification written by James Buchanan and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on 2013-02-17 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Buchanan (1804–1870) was a Scottish minister and theologian. He joined the Free Church of Scotland in 1843, and succeeded Thomas Chalmers as professor of systematic theology at the New College of the Free Church in Edinburgh in 1847, a post he held for twenty-one years. Buchanan's magnum opus was The Doctrine of Justification, which still has great value as a classic treatment of the article by which Martin Luther says the church stands or falls. He covers biblical, systematic, and historical ground in his work, but is never far from a warm-hearted evangelical delight in the doctrines he is expounding.

Download or read book Right With God written by D. A. Carson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2002-09-10 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Right with God' is a study of what the Bible has to say about justification, along with reflections as to how this teaching ought to work out in a variety of contexts, around the world. In addition to the essays on particular parts of the Bible (Paul, Matthew, Luke, Acts, John, James), the book includes an essay assessing recent thought on justification, and another attempting to put together a synthesis of biblical perspectives on this important theme. One chapter relates justification and personal Christian living; another weighs the relationship between justification and social justice; yet another evaluates the treatment of justification in Roman Catholicism and in various interfaith dialogues. For some readers, however, the most innovative chapters will be those discussing the relevance of the Christian doctrine of justification by faith in Hindu, Islamic, and Buddhist contexts. The contributors have been drawn from evangelical communities around the world.

Download or read book The Kingdom of God Suffers Violence written by John Elliott Williams and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostle Matthew recorded the words of Jesus in chapter eleven when Jesus said, "The kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force!" The revelation of this Scripture is the quintessential order experienced by God's elect as they seek God's Kingdom and His righteousness. This order supports the life experiences of humans on the earth as spoken in God's curse as the results of man's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Not many Christians understand this order or the spiritual provisions God established in His plan for the world before it was formed. Jesus used the life of John the Baptist to illustrate the character one must have in seeking God's Kingdom. John, who by faith and blind devotion, surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and to God's Kingdom. Jesus said in verse eleven, "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist. John's adult life was characterized by his tenacity to advance the knowledge of Jesus Christ despite the antagonism from Jesus enemies, the religious leaders of His day, the scribes and the Pharisees. John the Baptist was a man filled with love, faith and obedience to Jesus and to God's Word! He was a role model to those of us who seek the Kingdom of God despite the afflictions, hardships and sufferings one must bear! Taking the Kingdom by force refers to those who make a concerted effort to enter the kingdom in spite of violent opposition. This opposition comes in many forms including our carnal mind, which is enmity against God and the lust of our own human flesh. Individuals seeking the Kingdom must display certain character traits as revealed in this book, "The Kingdom of God Suffers Violence!" Unfortunately, not many Christian leaders have been privy to this revelation or its purpose in those God predestinated, called, justified and glorified before the world was made. However, in the fullness of time, these truths are being made known. As you read this book, please seek God's wisdom and understanding in order to rightly discern its contents.

Download or read book How God Became King written by Tom Wright and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2012-04-12 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It has been slowly dawning on me over many years that there is a fundamental problem deep at the heart of Christian faith and practice as I have known them . . . we have all forgotten what the four Gospels are about.' With that surprising assertion, Tom Wright launches this ground-breaking work in which he helps us to see the gospel story in radically a new light, and to acknowledge that, for many generations, the Church has been avoiding its full impact and holding back from proclaiming its full meaning. 'Classic Wright: clear, accessible, robust, engaging and challenging.' Paula Gooder in Third Way 'Scholarly, accessible, insightful and provocative.' Christianity 'Wright argues compellingly that the twin themes of kingdom and cross are inseparably linked. . . This is a much-needed reorientation. The book makes its case for 'rethinking' cogently and deserves widespread attention.' Theology

Preached and delivered by JOHN EATON, Master of Arts, sometime Student in Trinity College in Oxford; and fifteen years Minister and Preacher at Wickham-Market in SUFFOLK. Paul reproving Peter in the face of the Congregation, hath here no trifling matter in hand, but the chiefest Article of all Christian Doctrine; the Majesty and Utility whereof, who so rightly esteemeth, to him all other things shall seem but vile, and nothing worth; for what is Peter? What is Paul? What is an Angel from heaven? What are all creatures to the Article of Free Justification? Which if we know, then are we in the clear light; but if we be ignorant thereof, then are we in most miserable darkness. Martin Luther

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God gave us a Kingdom – we just need to take it. Those are the life-changing words of Bill Mitchell, who reveals how coming to the Kingdom of God can change your life – whether you’ve ever gone to church or not. Mitchell’s treatise affirms the work of more than forty different authors who wrote sixty-six different books proclaiming the greatest story of our lives. He seeks to answer questions such as: How to know what God has given to us? What is the purpose of our Lord? Why we must be born of water and the Spirit? What it means to love God and your neighbor as yourself? The author concludes that for us to get back to the Kingdom of God, we must do as our Lord has said. That is everyone. We cannot all do as each of us desires and expect to be right with God. The message of our Lord is consistent and does not waver. Recognize God for who He is and what He has given to us through His Son Jesus Christ with the lessons and insights in Coming Back to the Kingdom of God.
