Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North of Wales in the 1770s was one of the least Christian parts of Britain. The next three decades brought a transformation akin to that of the apostolic era and at the centre of the change was Thomas Charles, 'the Lord's gift to North Wales'. Debarred from the pulpits of his own denomination, and dependent on his shop-keeper wife at Bala, Charles quietly became the leader of the people ('Calvinistic Methodists') whose God-anointed witness gathered thousands to the gospel. This astonishing advance involved Bible distribution, the use of circulating schools, preaching, and publishing. More than all these things, there was an outpouring of the Spirit of God and the most enduring lessons of the period have to do with the quality of spiritual life which was then recovered. This volume, first published in 1838, shows us both what that life was in Thomas Charles' own experience and how wisely he taught it to others. Charles' main characteristic, said Edward Morgan (his editor), was his large measure of love and humility. His life itself, 'with heaven in his face', as men said, was a sermon. For insight into real, biblical Christianity this book will always be one of the classics of evangelical literature. John Elias' verdict of many years ago remains true, 'Whatever proceeds from Mr. Charles is excellent'. This was one of the last books in the hands of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones before his death and it led him to conclude that Thomas Charles 'is definitely one of the most neglected of the spiritual leaders'.

Book excerpt: Uniquely authoritative and wide-ranging in its scope, The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church is the indispensable reference work on all aspects of the Christian Church.

In this new edition, great efforts have been made to increase and strengthen coverage of non-Anglican denominations (for example non-Western European Christianity), as well as broadening the focus on Christianity and the history of churches in areas beyond Western Europe. In particular, there have been extensive additions with regards to the Christian Church in Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, and Australasia. Significant updates have also been included on topics such as liturgy, Canon Law, recent international developments, non-Anglican missionary activity, and the increasingly important area of moral and pastoral theology, among many others. Since its first appearance in 1957, the ODCC has established itself as an essential resource for ordinands, clergy, and members of religious orders, and an invaluable tool for academics, teachers, and students of church history and theology, as well as for the general reader.

Excerpt from book: 1n HIS RELIGIOUS ASSOCIATIONS We must now fall back upon the thin outline of Thomas Charles's Diary, and quote the oft-quoted, from his own handwriting.1 I was born Ocf- 14, 1755.?my Parents sent me to school as soon as I was capable of attending to any thing. When I was about ten or twelve Years of age, they entertained thoughts of bringing me up for ye ministry; and with y' intent sent me to school to Llanddowror two miles off; where I continued three or four years. during y' Time I felt first any serious impressions. the first cause of any thought about my soul I do not recollect. my convictions of sin were for a Year or more but very slight and at intervals; but I had almost continually?tho' sometimes weaker, sometimes stronger?powerful impressions made on my mind inclining me to attend ye preaching of ye Gospel, to read ye Bible and also ye best books I cod get besides. I wod walk alone with great pleasure to any reasonable distance to hear gospel Sermons, and no time was tedious in reading good books. But what was most blest to me at y' Time was John Bunyan's treatise on ye two covenants.2 that part wherein he shews ye dreadful state of those who are under ye covenant of works affected me very much indeed, and made me several Times to cry bitterly. I recollect I thought every body to be religious y' went pretty constant to church, but I often wondered I never heard them talk any thing about religion, especially of a Sunday. I had not one spiritual person to speak to for some Time: at last providence brought me acquainted with an aged, holy and pious man,3 a few miles off, on whom I always called once or twice a week, and his conversation was very much blessed to me. Sometimes he was filled with great Joy and comfort in talking to me; and when y' was ye case with him, ...

Download or read book Sermons on the Beatitudes written by John Calvin and published by Banner of Truth. This book was released on 2006 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the many activities which claimed Calvin's attention during his long ministry in Geneva (1536-1538; 1541-1564), preaching was the most public and perhaps the most influential. Public because, for many years, twice on Sundays and daily in alternate weeks, the Reformer stood before a congregation of townsfolk, refugees and visitors to teach, warn, appeal, counsel, admonish, and encourage. Influential because, vital as the Institutes, commentaries and treatises were to the defence and propagation of Christian doctrine, it was the Word preached and applied from the pulpit which above all fashioned Geneva's evangelical culture and made it the nerve-centre of Reformed Protestantism. This volume presents readers with a short series of sermons on the Beatitudes, translated for the first time into English by Robert White. They comprise Calvin's exposition of Matthew 5:1-12, Mark 3:13-19 and Luke 6:12-26. Five sermons were preached on the Beatitudes in the course of an extended treatment of the Synoptic Gospels. Begun in July 1559, this series had still not been completed by February 1564, when ill health forced the Reformer's retirement from the pulpit. His absence was to be permanent: he died three months later, in May 1564. The late date of these sermons, therefore, marks them out as a definitive example of the Reformer's mature pulpit style. They represent his very last effort to elucidate a New Testament text in the context of regular public worship. Translated into a modern idiom, this book will transport the reader back into sixteenth-century Geneva, where he can hear the Reformer preach on issues of perennial Christian concern.

"But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God."--Heb. x. 12. "This Man." How the heart bounds with joy at the remembrance that the exalted and Holy One, who is now seated in the place of power, "the right hand of God," ruling throughout all creation, is a real man, possessing a humanity like our own--body, soul, and mind. How much more real, more human, more tangible, heavenly things are, when we are conscious that at the head of all is "this Man," Jesus; and that the Being whom angels worship and adore, and before whom they bow in loving submission, is the very one who dwelt a lowly one amongst men. "This Man," so loving, so gentle, so gracious, so kind, so humble-hearted, so tender in His sympathy, and faithful in His love, is ours--still our Shepherd, Friend, and Guide, our ever-gracious Sympathiser and ever-ready Helper. When He undertook the burden of His people's guilt, their sins became His own--not His own practically, but His own judicially--they, therefore, stood in the way between Himself and the "right hand of God." He cleared them out of the way by becoming the " one sacrifice for sins," and then "sat down on the right hand of God"--sure token that we who trust in Him; we whose sins He thus made His own, shall with Him also sit down "on the right hand of God." One with the Father as God, yet is He ever "this Man." Little do we know how wonderfully His humanity was fashioned and mellowed by His many sufferings, and weaknesses, and sorrows, and pains, and persecutions; in order that He might the better sympathise with His...
