Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Christianity: Or the Purpose and Power of the Gospel Although all nations, and even all tribes, profess some sort of religion, yet there prevails an extreme uncertainty as to its purpose, and as to the means or mode under which such purpose is to be realised. This is the more Singular because people do not seem generally to be aware of it themselves. The fact is, that men naturally dislike precise knowledge with respect to religion. They prefer loose and in definite notions, which do not perplex them by con siderations away from those objects in which alone they take a profound interest. This will appear manifest even under a very general investigation of the character of religion as usually professed and practised among human beings, taken in connection with the subject to which our attention is now more specially to be directed.

Download or read book Jesus the Great Philosopher written by Jonathan T. Pennington and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us tend to live as though Jesus represents the "spiritual part" of our lives. We don't clearly see how he relates to the rest of our experiences, desires, and habits. How can Jesus, the Bible, and Christianity become more than a compartmentalized part of our lives? Highly regarded New Testament scholar and popular teacher Jonathan Pennington argues that we need to recover the lost biblical image of Jesus as the one true philosopher who teaches us how to experience the fullness of our humanity in the kingdom of God. Jesus teaches us what is good, right, and beautiful and offers answers to life's big questions: what it means to be human, how to be happy, how to order our emotions, and how we should conduct our relationships. This book brings Jesus and Christianity into dialogue with the ancient philosophers who asked the same big questions about finding meaningful happiness. It helps us rediscover biblical Christianity as a whole-life philosophy, one that addresses our greatest human questions and helps us live meaningful and flourishing lives.

Download or read book ReAwakening written by Dr. Bobby M. Wagner and published by Dove Christian Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-26 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the pages of this book is life-giving water for a church and a people that often don’t know they’re thirsty. Despite technological, theological, and sociological advances and the ability and platform to spread the Gospel like never before, the church of Jesus Christ continues to lose effectiveness and become divided over theological and doctrinal issues. This is because it has lost its identity, an identity characterized by God’s love, power, joy, purpose, and meaning, an identity reflecting God’s glory to a fallen world. The question is, how do we get back to the place where God intended us to be? Although God wants us to move on to maturity, sometimes we have to lay again the foundation. ReAwakening: The Power of the Gospel reminds us of the basics. With so many Christians fighting over correct doctrine, this book presents our Christian doctrinal foundation. Why are we here? What is our identity? What is the Good News? What do we need to do to be saved? Pastor and author Dr. Bobby Wagner answers all of those questions and more. ReAwakening clearly attempts to present all the theological and doctrinal truths surrounding the Gospel.

Download or read book The Truth of the Gospel written by Peter Parris and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers of The Truth of the Gospel will find Biblical exposition of foundational truths, including God's sovereignty; Jesus as the only way to the one true God; predestination; the power of new birth and the implications of "Christ in you"; the validity of the baptism of the Holy Spirit; and the victorious nature of the kingdom of God. They will gain insight into difficult passages such as, "no one who is born of God sins," and "all the evil that the Lord had brought on him." They will receive Biblically-based answers to thorny and controversial questions, including, "Are the gifts valid for today?"; "What about the rapture?"; "What is a Christian's relationship to the law?"; and "Is rebuilding the temple blasphemy?" They will be equipped to discern, and Biblically refute, popular, but misguided, philosophies and opinions, and even traditional teachings, which are not the truth, such as baptismal regeneration, the cessation doctrine, and beliefs that the kingdom has not yet come or has already come in its fullness. They will be encouraged in their faith and in their love of God as they discover God's provisions for victorious living, and every believer's part in the unfolding of God's eternal purpose in the Lord Jesus. Peter Parris, a native of Great Britain, was converted at the age of thirteen at a Baptist church in South London. He began preaching when he was fifteen, and had the privilege and benefit of godly ministers, including Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones of Westminster Chapel. He has founded churches in both Great Britain and the United States, where he has been living since 1978. He has worked with the Fellowship of Connected Churches and Ministries since its inception, and serves as one of its apostolic leaders. He is the author of the daily devotional book, Act Like A Man.

Download or read book Christian Philosophy written by Craig G. Bartholomew and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third book in a series of successful introductory textbooks by Craig Bartholomew and Michael Goheen builds on their previous projects, The Drama of Scripture and Living at the Crossroads, to offer a comprehensive narrative of philosophical thought from a distinctly Christian perspective. After exploring the interaction among Scripture, worldview, theology, and philosophy, the authors tell the story of philosophy from ancient Greece through postmodern times, positioning the philosophers in their historical contexts and providing Christian critique along the way. The authors emphasize the Reformed philosophical tradition without neglecting other historical trajectories and show how philosophical thought relates to contemporary life.

Download or read book The Kingdom of God Is Within You written by Leo graf Tolstoy and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Kingdom of God Is Within You: Christianity Not as a Mystic Religion but as a New Theory of Life" by Leo Graf Tolstoy was originally banned in Tolstoy's home country of Russia. As a non-fiction book that aimed to use Tolstoy's Christian beliefs as a way to form an uprising against Russian society, the book was and still is considered a piece of anarchist text. Though crucially preaching non-violence, the book still promotes the idea of bettering society and not merely accepting what is if there is something better that could be.

Download or read book Gospel Theology written by John Kuyper Liberty and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gospel of Jesus Christ is not one theory of the world’s origin and purpose standing behind or alongside other competing viewpoints. Neither is it one of many components of the Christian religion. It is the central purpose, heartbeat, and jewel of the entire universe. It is the power of God Almighty. It is the set of glasses we must wear to rightly understand all of God’s Word and all of God’s world. Whether we acknowledge it or not, Jesus Christ is the Lord, Savior, and Treasure. This gospel of Jesus Christ is God’s grace for individuals, and God’s grace for all of creation. John Kuyper Liberty explains from Scripture that the gospel transforms how we understand and relate to God and his revelation (upward theology), how we understand and relate to ourselves and other Christians (inward theology), and how we understand and relate to God’s broader creation, our communities, our cultures, and those who are not Christians (outward theology). This monumental resource written for all people includes chapter titles like The Good News of God’s Word, Gospel Worship, Gospel Joy, The Gospel and Money, The Gospel-Centered Home, The Gospel and Work, and Gospel Society. Jesus Christ, by his perfect life, bloody cross, resurrection in power, and ascension into Kingship, is reconciling all things to himself.

Download or read book Cultural Apologetics written by Paul M. Gould and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renewing the Christian voice, conscience, and imagination so that we can become compelling witnesses of the Gospel in today's culture. Christianity has an image problem. While the culture we inhabit presents us with an increasingly anti-Christian and disenchanted position, the church in the West has not helped its case by becoming anti-intellectual, fragmented, and out of touch with the relevancy of Jesus to all aspects of contemporary life. The muting of the Christian voice, its imagination, and its collective conscience have diminished the prospect of having a genuine missionary encounter with others today. Cultural apologetics attempts to demonstrate not only the truth of the Gospel but also its desirability by reestablishing Christianity as the answer that satisfies our three universal human longings—truth, goodness, and beauty. In Cultural Apologetics, philosopher and professor Paul Gould sets forth a fresh and uplifting model for cultural engagement—rooted in the biblical account of Paul's speech in Athens—which details practical steps for establishing Christianity as both true and beautiful, reasonable and satisfying. You'll be introduced to: The idea of cultural apologetics as distinct from traditional apologetics. The path from disenchantment with how we understand reality to re-enchantment with the reality of the spiritual nature of things. The practical tools of good cultural engagement: conscience, reason, and imagination. Equip yourself to see, and help others see, the world as it is through the lens of the Spirit—deeply beautiful, mysterious, and sacred. With creative insights, Cultural Apologetics prepares readers to share a vision of the Christian faith that is both plausible and desirable, offering clarity for those who have become disoriented in the haze of modern Western culture.

Download or read book A Cross Shaped Gospel written by Bryan Loritts and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARNING! This book could make your life messy! Today’s church is continually being confronted with the question, “What is the gospel?” Many churches answer this through strong exposition of biblical truth. Others answer with a focus on community engagement. But doesn’t Christ call us to do both? The covenant of salvation demands a radical re-patterning of relationships. Bryan Lorrits, a pastor in the heart of one of America’s historically racially divided urban centers, seizes the opportunity to engage God, the church, and culture in ways that may challenge your beliefs, practices, and relationships. A Cross-Shaped Gospel clearly articulates the vertical dimension of the Christian faith, as well as looking at the horizontal implications of salvation for growth, service, and community. It provokes readers to think about the implications of living out their faith. What does the gospel mean for issues of: Political engagement? Class distinctions? Race Relations? It is only by reaching upward that we can reach outward in power and with the proper motives, so let A Cross- Shaped Gospel help you in crafting and communicating a biblical philosophy of engaging God and others well!
