Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Denney is now best known, though in increasingly restricted circles, for his book The Death of Christ, considered for over a century a lucid and standard exposition of objective atonement understood in substitutionary terms. However, there is breadth and depth to Denney's thought, a richness and passion in his theological work, an attractive integrity and spiritual immediacy in his writing, that resists any reducing of his legacy to that of being an apologist for one aspect of Christian doctrine. By exploring his early years growing up in Greenock, Scotland, following his intellectual development through university and college years in Glasgow, and considering the impact of a long pastoral ministry in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, a context is created for studying the mind, personality and faith that informed his mature theological writing. For twenty years, from 1897Ð1917, he taught biblical theology and exegesis in his denominational College in Glasgow, developing his theology through articulation, and then exploring and expounding the gospel of Christ as first and originally expressed in the apostolic experience and testimony embedded in the New Testament documents. The theological work of Denney, taken as a whole, was both intellectually engaged and ecclesially focused, as he sought to construct a secure basis for biblical faith. His theology was offered in the service of the church, his learning a self-conscious discipleship of the intellect. This is the major study of Denney to use the large corpus of Denney's unpublished theological papers and sermons held in New College Library, in the University of Edinburgh. These, together with Denney's published work, and wider biographical research, form the basis of this study, an intellectual and contextual biography of one of Scotland's most attractive and forceful theological personalities.
Download or read book Biblical Doctrine of Reconciliation written by James Denney and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reconciliation is a term of wide scope and various application, and it is hardly possible to conceive a life or a religion which should dispense with it. There is always some kind of strain or tension between man and his environment, and man has always an interest in overcoming the strain, in resolving the discord in his situation into a harmony, in getting the environment to be his ally rather than his adversary. The process by which his end is attained may be described as one of reconciliation, but whether the reconciliation is adequate depends on whether his conception of the environment is equal to the truth. Men may be very dimly and imperfectly conscious of the nature of the strain which disquiets their life, and may seek to overcome it in blind and insufficient ways. They may interpret it as physical in its origin when it is really ethical, or as the misapprehension of a moral order when it is really antagonism to a personal God, and in either case the reconciliation they seek will fail to give the peace of which they are in quest. Nevertheless, reconciliation and nothing else is what they want, and its place in religion is central and vital." --From Chapter 1: The Experimental Basis of the Doctrine

Download or read book Raging with Compassion written by John Swinton and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Raging with Compassion", Michael Ramsey prize-winning author John Swinton argues for a practical theodicy, one embodied in the life and practices of the Christian community. This practicality does not seek to provide an explanation for the existence of evil, but rather presents ways in which evil and suffering can be resisted and transformed. This, he insists, will enable Christians to live faithfully with unanswered questions as they await God's redemption of the whole creation. Swinton explores essential practices of redemption - lament, forgiveness, thoughtfulness, hospitality, and friendship - drawing out their implications for the faithful resistance of evil. Enhanced by case studies from current events and by Swinton's own experience as a pastor and mental health nurse, "Raging with Compassion" seeks to inspire fresh Christian responses and modes of practice in our broken, fallen world.

Download or read book Evangelical Spirituality written by James McMillan Gordon and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-07-10 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the twenty-two Evangelicals who have been studied, some have been so widely influential that they are obvious inclusions, others though less prominent are still remembered while a few are all but forgotten. Selection was controlled by several considerations. The period covered spans from the eighteenth century Revival to the present day. Figures are included from only Britain and America. The aim throughout has been to provide an appreciative exposition of Evangelical spirituality, with some evaluative comment. In Evangelicalism there is extraordinary diversity in spiritual experience, doctrinal emphasis and personal temperment, to the enrichment of the whole Church. It has its share, too, of weaknesses, blind-spots and inner tensions. But judged by its best representatives, some of them to be found in this book, the Evangelical spiritual tradition is a continuing witness to the power of the gospel and the mission of the Church. --from the Preface
Download or read book Atonement and Experience written by Paul K. Moser and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of thirteen important theological writings of the influential Scottish theologian and New Testament scholar James Denney (1856–1917). His work had a significant influence on such seminal twentieth-century theologians as P. T. Forsyth and H. R. Mackintosh, and it continues to be important for theologians, biblical scholars, philosophers of religion, and Christian preachers. Forsyth said of Denney: “He has more important things to say than anyone at present writing on theology.” Mackintosh said of him: “As theologian and as man, there was no one like him.” James Moffatt remarked: “No one can be said even to put you in mind of Denney.” A. M. Hunter, Vincent Taylor, and I. H. Marshall also have commented on Denney’s important influence. This book fills the absence of a collection of Denney’s theological essays in print, by representing his profound work on theology in the Epistle to the Romans and his Pauline Christology. It also includes two of his outstanding sermons that outline his approach to knowledge of God. The essays in the collection merit further attention in contemporary theology, biblical studies, and the philosophy of religion. The General Introduction motivates the book and identifies its unifying themes.
Download or read book The Atonement and the Modern Mind written by James Denney and published by . This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor James Denney, D.D. (1856-1917) was a Scottish theologian and preacher. He was educated at the Highlanders' Academy, Greenock, University of Glasgow, from 1874 to 1879. Denney was influenced by Professor Bruce, adopting his system of apologetics. While still a student Denney published his first work, Natural Law in the Spiritual by a Brother of the Natural Man. In 1886 he was called to be pastor of the East Free Church, Broughty Ferry. Some of his expository sermons were published in two volumes of The Expositor's Bible, edited by W. Robertson Nicoll, The Epistles to the Thessalonians (1892) and The Second Epistle to the Corinthians (1894). Denney's greatest contribution to theological literature is in his defence of the penal character of the atonement. First expressed in his Studies in Theology (1895), it found its fullest expression in The Death of Christ (1902), and its follow-up, The Atonement and the Modern Mind (1903). In his last book, The Christian Doctrine of Reconciliation (1917), Denney returned to the doctrine of the atonement. His works also include: The Expositor's Greek Testament, Jesus and the Gospel (1908) and The Way Everlasting (1913).
Download or read book Expository Exultation written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “God has appointed preaching in worship as one great means of accomplishing his ultimate goal in the world.” —John Piper John Piper makes a compelling claim in these pages about the purpose of preaching: it is intended not merely as an explanation of the text but also as a means of awakening worship by being worship in and of itself. Christian preaching is a God-appointed miracle aiming to awaken the supernatural seeing, savoring, and showing of the glory of Christ. Distilling over forty years of experience in preaching and teaching, Piper shows preachers how and what to communicate from God’s Word, so that God’s purpose on earth will advance through Biblesaturated, Christ-exalting, God-centered preaching—in other words, expository exultation.

This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Companion offers an introduction to Reformed theology, one of the most historically important, ecumenically active, and currently generative traditions of doctrinal enquiry, by way of reflecting upon its origins, its development, and its significance. The first part, Theological Topics, indicates the distinct array of doctrinal concerns which gives coherence over time to the identity of this tradition in all its diversity. The second part, Theological Figures, explores the life and work of a small number of theologians who have not only worked within this tradition, but have constructively shaped and inspired it in vital ways. The final part, Theological Contexts, considers the ways in which the resultant Reformed sensibilities in theology have had a marked impact both upon theological and ecclesiastical landscapes in different places and upon the wider societal landscapes of history. The result is a fascinating and compelling guide to this dynamic and vibrant theological tradition.
