Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern man finds the concept of finality alien to his whole way of thinking. Science teaches him that human history is only a moment in the life of an infinite universe. His study of world religions calls into question the uniqueness of Christianity. Western man's uneasy conscience--due to the excesses of colonialism--makes him hesitant to press his own faith on others. By taking the issues of finality out of the classroom, Lesslie Newbigin demonstrates its importance to Christians with loyalties both to the community of the church and to the community of man. He asserts that conversion does not involve either a denial of the value of a person's previous faith or a blanket acceptance of the church's way of doing things. Bishop Newbigin examines the various Christian interpretations of finality, giving special attention to the views of Dutch theologian Hendrik Kraemer about the relationship of Christianity to world religions. The author advances the debate by showing that the way to move beyond Kraemer's position is to look for the place of the gospel in secular history. The gospel is the announcement of an event which demands that all men make a decision for or against. It is the clue to history--the history of mankind and of the individual.

Download or read book Christ Above All written by Adrio König and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Look to Christ, the ultimate revelation of God. The letter to the Hebrews asks questions aimed at the heart of what it looks like for Christians to walk in Christ's footsteps. How should Christians relate to the Old Testament? What are we to make of the New Testament's urgent pleas to persevere in the faith? Can we really lose our salvation? How does Jesus model both humility in his humanity and the glory of God through his earthly life? These questions continue to be fiercely debated by Christians. The ancient letter to the Hebrews answers all by focusing on Christ's magnificent love and greatness. In Christ Above All, Adrio König puts readers in the shoes of the original audience of Hebrews and shows how, in a world full of competing claims to power and authority, Christ--in all his glory and humanity--really does surpass all others. In the Transformative Word series, you'll read the Bible with a global cast of church leaders and scholars. In conversational tone, contributors from around the world explain the importance of a biblical book, showing how it can transform your life.

Book excerpt: Pluralism, the notion there are many paths to God's acceptance, is the reigning fashion today. For us Christians, it is a fool's errand to try to convince (against their wills) those who base their postmodern ?theology? on human speculation. However, for those who are willing to listen to the witness of divine revelation, biblical testimony is copious, clear and compelling on this point. There is no evading the finality of Jesus Christ. End of story!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Finality of Christ and Other Sermons "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich." - 2 Cor. viii. 9. There is a tremendous theology involved in this simple statement which we cannot evade. It does not say that Jesus was poor, but that He became poor: it was a piece of voluntary renunciation. But when was Jesus rich, and when did He become poor? There is no possibility of referring this act of renunciation to His earthly life; it can only refer to the act of the Incarnation by which He surrendered His heavenly glory and His Divine majesty, and adopted not only human life, but a life of poverty. Here we have the doctrine of the pre-existence of Jesus indubitably implied, a pre-existence which for the moment St. Paul is content to define as one of richness. And what a light it throws upon St. Paul's use of the word grace. It stresses its condescension, its voluntary and spontaneous choice, the artistic beauty with which the act of renunciation was made. We need all the fulness which the word holds in New Testament usage to bring out what it here contains. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Revelation Rationality Knowledge Truth written by Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad and published by Islam International Publications Ltd. This book was released on 1998-06-30 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any divide between revelation and rationality, religion and logic has to be irrational. If religion and rationality cannot proceed hand in hand, there has to be something deeply wrong with either of the two. Does revelation play any vital role in human affairs? Is not rationality sufficient to guide man in all the problems which confront him? Numerous questions such as these are examined with minute attention. All major issues which intrigue the modern mind are attempted to be incorporated in this fascinatingly comprehensive statute. Whatever the intellectual or educational background of the reader, this book is bound to offer him something of his interest. It examines a very diverse and wide range of subjects including the concept of revelation in different religions, history of philosophy, cosmology, extraterrestrial life, the future of life on earth, natural selection and its role in evolution. It also elaborately discusses the advent of the Messiah, or other universal reformers, awaited by different religions. Likewise, many other topical issues which have been agitating the human mind since time immemorial are also incorporated. The main emphasis is on the ability of the Quran to correctly discuss all important events of the past, present and future from the beginning of the universe to its ultimate end. Aided by strong incontrovertible logic and scientific evidence, the Quran does not shy away from presenting itself to the merciless scrutiny of rationality. It will be hard to find a reader whose queries are not satisfactorily answered. We hope that most readers will testify that this will always stand out as a book among books – perhaps the greatest literary achievement of this century.
