Download or read book The Work of Christ written by P. T. Forsyth and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 1996-07-11 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Work of Christ, by Scottish minister and Biblical scholar P. T. Forsyth, explains the character and deeds of the Lord Jesus, and how they affect Christian beliefs and life philosophy. Adapted from a series of lectures the author delivered to gatherings of young and newly-ordained ministers, this book is an engaging and competent example of Biblical scholarship. Well-received by his audience, the author was encouraged to publish these thoughts in a book; their central pillar - that Christ's life and works pierce to the heart of theological study - remains a poignant reflection upon the New Testament. The qualities of a good Christian are found to be intricately related to what Jesus said during his famous sermons and teachings. Qualities of self-sacrifice, spiritual reflection, and atoning for our sins are discussed. The author also discusses Christ's philosophical words on the subject of reconciliation; why the principles of reconcile can blossom into a way of life. Latterly, the author examines the Christian cross and its symbolism, before embarking on a discussion of the challenges and problems facing the modern-day Christian. For the author, reconciling belief in God and Jesus Christ with elements of philosophy, and recognizing the gravity of the Savior's words and martyrdom, is crucial for all believers in the present time.

Book excerpt: Andrew Murray relates in this work the importance of the cross to Christian belief, and to the lessons which Jesus Christ wanted to teach all of mankind. Although demonstratively brief, Murray's explanations contain a conviction and poignancy, explaining the centrality and vitality of the crucifix to the Christian faith. The crucifixion's importance in Christ's message and destiny, and the reasons behind why his spirit was led to a painful end upon the cross, are keenly discussed by Murray. He delivers explanations of the cross as a symbol of Christian attainment, wherein God takes possession of the human soul and frees it from sin for eternity. Andrew Murray authored 200+ works on the religion and ministry of Christianity, the Bible, and on topics inspiring Christians to lead virtuous and happy lives. Murray spent most of his life imparting the word of God in churches throughout South Africa, and in the 1880s became an important figure in the founding of the South African General Mission.

Download or read book The Cross in Our Context written by Douglas John Hall and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this small gem of theological reflection, North America's foremost "theologian of the cross" offers a profound and compelling contemplation on the relevance of the church's most fundamental confession. Hall ponders what confessing Jesus as crucified means in today's context, one that is postmodern, pluralistic, multicultural, and in some respects post-Christian. A digest of his monumental trilogy, this book lays out in brief compass the heart of Hall's theology of the cross, contrasting it sharply with the theology of established Christianity, showing how it reframes classical Christology and soteriology, and drawing the implications for what it means to be human, for Christian ethics, and for the church.

Book excerpt: Citing the Biblical canon, evangelical speaker and author Jessie Penn-Lewis discusses the pivotal roles that the cross plays in the Bible and wider Christianity. This book aims to teach readers about how vital the cross which Christ carried and was crucified upon is to Christianity. The cross rightfully gained a multi-faceted symbolism in the Holy Scriptures, and it is in this book that Jessie Penn-Lewis explains - with frequent citations of the New Testament - the various attributes of significance that the cross has. Each of the ten chapters covers a specific theme. These topics include: How the cross proclaims one's adherence to, and following of, the principles of Jesus Christ. The role of the cross in the Christian Revival, whereby God flows through the human soul and spirit. The cross as a powerful symbol suitable for one to contemplate in quieter moments of prayer. The cross as a means of deepening one's relationship with Christ, following the path set by Him, and liberating one's spirit. In all, The Centrality of the Cross affirms the importance of the crucifixion in Christian lore. Penn-Lewis handily explains the many functions and purposes of the cross, giving Christians a depth of understanding and appreciation they may previously have lacked.

Download or read book The Cross written by Douglas Vickers and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-04-02 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A question has challenged the human conscience for two thousand years: "How are we to explain the presence of Jesus Christ in this world?" Or who, indeed, was Jesus Christ? A man like the rest of men? Or was he a divine Person? Why was it that well-practiced soldiers who failed to fulfill their commission to arrest him said: "Never man spoke like this man?" The early church confirmed the apostles' declaration that Jesus Christ was the eternal Son of God and that he came into the world to fulfill a messianic-redemptive assignment. "Christ Jesus," the apostle to the Gentiles explained, "came into the world to save sinners." In The Cross: Its Meaning and Message in a Postmodern World, Douglas Vickers sees the cross as the watershed of history. The divine objectives that the cross addressed bear vitally on the human condition, vitiated as that is by the entailment of sin. In an age in which postmodernist claims have rejected absolute criteria of truth and validity, the Christ of the cross provides the only refuge for those burdened by the search for meaning. The Cross explores the way of reconciliation between God and man. It affirms the apostolic claim that "In [Christ] are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
