Chapter I I, Paul, an apostle of Christ by a divine call, and Sosthenes, my Christian brother, write to the church in Corinth, consecrated to God through faith in Christ, and to all who worship Jesus as Lord; grace and peace be with you. [1-3] I praise God for your progress in Christian character and knowledge, by which [4. 5] you have attested the truth of the gospel which I preached to you. In no gift of [6] grace are you surpassed by any other church. You are not dreading, but anticipating the coming of the Lord, who will keep you steadfast, and make you ready to welcome him at his advent. [7,8] God, who has called you into the Christian life, will be true to you and will complete your salvation in his eternal kingdom. [9] Let me use our common relation to Christ as the basis for an exhortation to [10] harmony and unity. For I have heard rumors of strifes and parties within your [11] church. What I mean is that some are professing themselves to be followers of me; others are using in the same way [12] the names of Apollos, Peter, and Christ. What! the name of Christ a party watchword! My name used by some as if I had died for them, and as if their baptism meant some special relation to [13l me! If such a perversion of the import of baptism is possible, I am glad that I baptized so few of your number and so [14-16] gave the less occasion for it. For, indeed, preaching, not baptizing, was my special, divinely appointed work, -- and preaching not of a rhetorical and speculative sort, but consisting in the proclamation of salvation through Christ's [17] death. I know that this message of salvation through the death of Christ seems folly to wicked men; but to us Christians, who have experienced God's saving grace, it [18] is full of divine...

Download or read book The Oxford History of Modern German Theology Volume 1 1781 1848 written by Grant Kaplan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-20 with total page 830 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the closing decades of the eighteenth century, German theology has been a major intellectual force within modern western thought, closely connected to important developments in idealism, romanticism, historicism, phenomenology, and hermeneutics. Despite its influential legacy, however, no recent attempts have sought to offer an overview of its history and development. Oxford History of Modern German Theology, Vol. I: 1781-1848, the first of a three-volume series, provides the most comprehensive multi-authored overview of German theology from the period from 1781-1848. Kaplan and Vander Schel cover categories frequently omitted from earlier overviews of the time period, such as the place of Judaism in modern German society, race and religion, and the impact of social history in shaping theological debate. Rather than focusing on individual figures alone, Oxford History of Modern German Theology, Vol. I: 1781-1848 describes the narrative arc of the period by focusing on broader intellectual and cultural movements, ongoing debates, and significant events. It furthermore provides a historical introduction to each of the chronological subsections that divides the book. Moreover, unlike previous efforts to introduce this time period and geographical region, the volume offers chapters covering such previously neglected topics as religious orders, the influence of Romantic art, secularism, religious freedom, and important but overlooked scholarly initiatives such as the Corpus Reformatorum. Attention to such matters will make this volume an invaluable repository of scholarship and knowledge and an indispensable reference resource for decades to come.
