Download or read book The Creedal Imperative written by Carl R. Trueman and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2012-09-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a number of high profile scholars converting to Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy while a trend in the laity expresses an eclectic hunger for tradition. The status and role of confessions stands at the center of the debate within evangelicalism today as many resonate with the call to return to Christianity's ancient roots. Carl Trueman offers an analysis of why creeds and confessions are necessary, how they have developed over time, and how they can function in the church of today and tomorrow. He writes primarily for evangelicals who are not particularly confessional in their thinking yet who belong to confessional churches—Baptists, independents, etc.—so that they will see more clearly the usefulness of the church's tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important study Hays argues against the mainstream that any attempt to account for the nature and method of Paul's theological language must first reckon with the centrality of narrative elements in his thought. Through an in-depth investigation of Galatians 3:1-4:11, Hays shows that the framework of Paul's thought is neither a system of doctrines nor his personal religious experience but the "sacred story" of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book The Excellence of Faith written by Dr. Nosayaba Evbuomwan and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Excellence of Faith is a treatise that aims to discuss this all-important subject from multiple perspectives to provide a comprehensive overview that would benefit the body of Christ. The subject of faith, although commonly discussed, is perhaps not fully appreciated, understood, and applied by many Christians. The book goes at length to provide many definitions, explanations, expositions, and practical application of biblical principles of faith. The book begins with some apologetics of the Christian faith as the faith and our most holy faith. Part of the impetus for writing the book is the phrase the just shall live by faith, which is repeated four times throughout the Bible. Sufficient attempt was made at a comprehensive expos of the phrase and using it as the basis for discussing foundational truths and principles of faith. Pleasing God and living a victorious and profitable/productive Christian life are elucidated as part of the purpose and necessity for faith. The book extensively discusses the personalization/ownership of our faith as well as the tangibility and reality of faith as a spiritual force to be employed in a believers life on daily basis. Some heroes of faith, based on Hebrews 11, were examined. The book also discussed the concept of types and levels/degrees/measures of faith as well as factors that can hinder our faith. The aim here is to be aware and then develop mitigating strategies against limits to our faith. In living by faith, understanding of certain key/important attributes from the scriptures are discussed extensively. Although an invisible force, biblical faith is always followed by a corresponding action of visible good works. Faith in practice, therefore, always produces a manifestation for all to see. This truth was also discussed in the book. The book concludes with how faith is acquired, developed, maintained, and matured as the believer grows to become like the Lord Jesus Christ as well as the emphasis on the truth that biblical manifestation of faith always works by Gods love.
Download or read book The Foundation of Faith written by David Benson Kiehn and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Christian is called to build their foundation on the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul writes to the church at Corinth, "According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 3:10-11) The earliest foundation of the gospel of Jesus Christ was laid out in the opening pages of the Bible in its first book. Genesis provides the foundation of God's people by showing how the gracious, almighty Sovereign Lord God created the world and loving set his affection on his people through an everlasting promise. This book is an attempt to help believers build their lives on a solid foundation. Genesis provides the beginning framework of how God created, called and cared for his people. As Christians understand the great legacy of God's faithfulness to his people, they will understand that Israel's story is ultimately their story as well. God's people were built on a promise. That promise was fulfilled in the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Christians want to build their life on a solid foundation, they should start at the beginning. I pray that you will learn more of your foundation as you grow in your understanding of the history of God's people. Build your life on a solid foundation. Build your life on the promise of God.
