Download or read book Church State and Public Justice written by P. C. Kemeny and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-09-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abortion. Physician-assisted suicide. Same-sex marriages. Embryonic stem-cell research. Poverty. Crime. What is a faithful Christian response? The God of the Bible is unquestionably a God of justice. Yet Christians have had their differences as to how human government and the church should bring about a just social order. Although Christians share many deep and significant theological convictions, differences that threaten to divide them have often surrounded the matter of how the church collectively and Christians individually ought to engage the public square. What is the mission of the church? What is the purpose of human government? How ought they to be related to each other? How should social injustice be redressed? The five noted contributors to this volume answer these questions from within their distinctive Christian theological traditions, as well as responding to the other four positions. Through the presentations and ensuing dialogue we come to see more clearly what the differences are, where their positions overlap and why they diverge. The contributors and the positions taken include Clarke E. Cochran: A Catholic Perspective Derek H. Davis: A Classical Separation Perspective Ronald J. Sider: An Anabaptist Perspective Corwin F. Smidt: A Principled Pluralist Perspective J. Philip Wogaman: A Social Justice Perspective This book will be instructive for anyone seeking to grasp the major Christian alternatives and desiring to pursue a faithful corporate and individual response to the social issues that face us.

Download or read book Practical Error and the Test of True Holiness written by Alonzo Hill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Error, and the Test of True Holiness: A Sermon, Delivered at the Ordination of Rev. Josiah Moore, as Pastor of the First Church and Society in Athol, December 8, 1830 By holiness we understand true excellence - disinterested goodness - an uniform desire - a constant endeavor - a general habit of doing right from a right motive. And to see the Lord is to enjoy his favor - to be admitted to those peculiar privileges which are found in his presence. And the meaning of the text is, no one whose life is not penetrated and pervaded by the spirit of religion, and whose actions are not directed by its principles shall enjoy the promised rewards of immortality and bliss. A truth so clear and momentous, one would think, could not be misunderstood, and would not be evaded. To keep it alive in the world extraordinary means have been adopted by the providence of God. It was preached by the ancient prophets. It was taught by the Son of the most high; and all the means and motives and sanctions of his religion inculcate it. For this, its institutions were appointed - to keep alive and explain this, is the great purpose of the Christian ministry.
