Download or read book Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God written by John Calvin and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he wrote comprehensively on a wide range of doctrinal issues, it is Predestination with which Calvin is most associated today. In this, his definitive text on the subject, he outlines fully a doctrine he feels has been wilfully misinterpreted to the detriment of the Church. Readers will witness Calvin masterfully arguing his points, wrestling with the scriptures, and fully engaging in the polemical world of sixteenth-century theological debate as he refutes the views of three of his chief detractors. J.K.S. Reid's widely praised translation preserves the nuances of Calvin's thought and the strength of his rhetoric, while his introduction offers a critical examination of Calvin's theological argument.

Download or read book Calvin s Political Theology and the Public Engagement of the Church written by Matthew J. Tuininga and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Calvin's Political Theology and the Public Engagement of the Church, Matthew J. Tuininga explores a little appreciated dimension of John Calvin's political thought, his two kingdoms theology, as a model for constructive Christian participation in liberal society. Widely misunderstood as a proto-political culture warrior, due in part to his often misinterpreted role in controversies over predestination and the heretic Servetus, Calvin articulated a thoughtful approach to public life rooted in his understanding of the gospel and its teaching concerning the kingdom of God. He staked his ministry in Geneva on his commitment to keeping the church distinct from the state, abandoning simplistic approaches that placed one above the other, while rejecting the temptations of sectarianism or separatism. This revealing analysis of Calvin's vision offers timely guidance for Christians seeking a mode of faithful, respectful public engagement in democratic, pluralistic communities today.

Download or read book Harmony of the Law written by John Calvin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth volume of John Calvin's Harmony of the Law, which is a four volume set on the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Unlike typical commentaries that take each verse and chapter as they come in the Bible, these commentaries take you through the four books of the Law as they come up with each topic. As each topic is thought of and discussed, Calvin takes us across all four the books of the Hebrew Law to teach us about the value of the Old Law and what it can teach us today. In today's church there is a lot of people wondering what value the Old Testament beliefs hold for us but Calvin shows that they are as important as they were when Calvin first wrote during the reformation. This book continues the study of the from the end of Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy with a special on the Song of Moses.

Download or read book God and the Civil Government written by John Calvin and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-02 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the duties of Christians at the ballot box to the doctrine of the lesser magistrate, John Calvin (1509-1564) had much to say on the institution and workings of civil government. Included in this volume are his thoughts on elections, rulers, judges, and civil office. His writings discuss the role of God's law in jurisprudence and stipulate the standards by which nations must be governed. He examines just magistrates and tyrants, honor and obedience, and the overruling hand of providence found in all offices and positions of authority. He also issues a biblical warning against fearing men or favoring an unjust cause in judgment. Pertinent in its thought and stunning in its applicability to contemporary law and politics, Calvin's sermons and writings present a refreshing analysis of the providential institution of civil government and the various jurisdictions of life. His deep understanding of both the nature of man and the root of rebellion and revolution as well as the duties of rulers and citizens in the civil sphere and before God offers the modern reader a powerful and relevant exposition of Scripture's teachings on government and society. God and the Civil Government is composed of excerpts from Calvin's sermons on Deuteronomy preached in Geneva in 1555 and 1556. The text has been translated from the published version Sermons de M. Jean Calvin sur le v. livre de Moyse nommé Deuteronome (Thomas Courteau, Geneva, 1567) and has been duly compared with Arthur Golding's English translation published in 1583 under the title The Sermons of M. John Calvin upon the Fifth Book of Moses (printed by Henry Middleton for Thomas Woodcocke, London). Alongside these sermons, chapters six through eleven of this volume have been taken from Calvin's writing on the civil government in his Institutes of the Christian Religion.

Download or read book Nature as Reason written by Jean Porter and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This noteworthy book develops a new theory of the natural law that takes its orientation from the account of the natural law developed by Thomas Aquinas, as interpreted and supplemented in the context of scholastic theology in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Though this history might seem irrelevant to twenty-first-century life, Jean Porter shows that the scholastic approach to the natural law still has much to contribute to the contemporary discussion of Christian ethics. Aquinas and his interlocutors provide a way of thinking about the natural law that is distinctively theological while at the same time remaining open to other intellectual perspectives, including those of science. In the course of her work, Porter examines the scholastics' assumptions and beliefs about nature, Aquinas's account of happiness, and the overarching claim that reason can generate moral norms. Ultimately, Porter argues that a Thomistic theory of the natural law is well suited to provide a starting point for developing a more nuanced account of the relationship between specific beliefs and practices. While Aquinas's approach to the natural law may not provide a system of ethical norms that is both universally compelling and detailed enough to be practical, it does offer something that is arguably more valuable -- namely, a way of reflecting theologically on the phenomenon of human morality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two by Calvin - Two Classics by John Calvin in one affordable volume containing: ON THE CHRISTIAN LIFE -- Every follower of Christ is called to righteousness. In answering Christ's call to live rightly, Calvin stresses the importance of clinging to the grace given through Christ's death and resurrection. Towards the conclusion, he proposes a few ways in which each person can bring God's grace to a fallen world yet avoid abusing their roles as representatives of God to that world. This brief text can serve as an introduction to Calvin's thought for any who wish to broaden their general knowledge or set out on a path of more involved study. PRAYER -- This treatise on prayer comes from Book III, Chapter 20 of Calvin's seminal work, Institutes of the Christian Religion. In it, Calvin meditates on the Lord's Prayer as a model for meaningful praying. His method and meditation possess the same depth of scriptural and theological scholarship that characterize the wider body of his work. Although one can read these words on prayer simply because of their immense impact upon history, they can still challenge and instruct us today.

Download or read book 50 Questions on the Natural Law written by Charles E. Rice and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Rice, professor of the jurisprudence of St. Thomas Aquinas for the last twenty years at Notre Dame Law School, presents a very readable book on the natural law as seen through the teachings of Aquinas and their foundations in reason and Revelation. Reflecting on the most persistent questions asked by his students over the years, Rice shows how the natural law works and how it is rooted in the nature of the human person whose Creator provided this law as a sure and knowable guide for man to achieve his end of eternal happiness. This book presents the teachings of the Catholic Church in her role as arbiter of the applications of the natural law on issues involving the right to live, bioethics, the family and the economy. Charles Rice has produced a firmly grounded and accessible handbook which touches on the most important topics regarding natural law that will benefit readers of all backgrounds.
