Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible as a Community Book Away out on the edge of civilization where Sage Brush Mesa joins on to Sucker Flats lies the frontier region of No-Man's Land. Its inhabitants first came in search of isolation and in the hope that they might escape the problems of living together which confronted them in the more thickly settled communities. The first person to offer a solution of the problem was Dead-Eye Dick, the crack shot of all this district. He sought to build a community based on fear of himself. He acquired an authority which few dared to dispute. Armed to the teeth with the latest man-killing instruments, he ruled over the length and breadth of No-Man's Land. But Dead-Eye Dick came to grief because while it is always possible for one man to be stronger than another man it is very hard for one man to be stronger than two men. One night in a saloon, led by a fellow called Combination Bill, a gang fell upon Dead-Eye Dick, and his authority was at an end. Because this gang had learned the secret of strength in combination, for a long time they held sway over the district between Sage Brush Mesa and Sucker Flats. But their secret was soon discovered and other gangs were formed who disputed their authority, and there was war incessant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building a Community This volume is one in a series of texts in religious education known as the Judson Training Manuals for the School of the Church. These manuals are arranged in three groups, namely, general, departmental, and parent-training. The general group includes vital teaching, story-telling, educational evangelism, expression through worship, handwork, community service, appreciation of the Bible, educational leadership, and kindred worth-while themes in the field of religious education. The departmental group covers courses for every department of the school of the church - Cradle Roll, Beginners', Primary, Junior, etc. The parent-training manuals emphasize religion in the home and the necessity of training for the God-given, heaven-blessed privilege of parenthood. It is the aim of these manuals to popularize the assured results of the best psychology and pedagogy and to make them the willing and efficient servants of all workers in the school of the church. Both the editors and the writers want these books "to live where the people live" and to be of real value to those forward-looking folk destined to be the leaders in religious education.

Book excerpt: After his martyrdom at the hands of the Gestapo in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer continued his witness in the hearts of Christians around the world. His Letters and Papers from Prison became a prized testimony to Christian faith and courage, read by thousands. Now in Life Together we have Pastor Bonhoeffer's experience of Christian community. This story of a unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years reads like one of Paul's letters. It gives practical advice on how life together in Christ can be sustained in families and groups. The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple, almost biblical, words. Life Together is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.
Download or read book The Community Daily Vacation Bible School Classic Reprint written by E. C. Knapp and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Community Daily Vacation Bible School This book is not primarily concerned with the Denominational Daily Vacation Bible School but with the community school. Its appeal is especially to the community which has two or more churches and which wishes to conduct a Community Daily Vacation Bible School. Prof. Norman E. Richardson, in his introduction to "The Vacation Religious Day School," by Stafford, says: "If religious training is to be universal for our country, it must be organized and maintained by all the churches acting together. The community is a natural unit in our national life. An adequate program of religious education for a community involves many problems which can be solved only by community co-operation." He also adds: "The program of the vacation session can make use of the prevailing play-spirit without in any way invalidating the educational efficiency of the work. Play is not incompatible with childhood religion." In the dozen or more vacation schools which we have conducted during the past four summers, we have tried to keep before us those two things - the community idea and the play-spirit. We have done many things which the average vacation school does not do and we have left undone many things which many schools have done.

Download or read book A History of the Bible written by John Barton and published by Viking Adult. This book was released on 2019 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of the Bible as "Holy Scripture," a non-negotiable authority straight from God, has prevailed in Western society for some time. And while it provides a firm foundation for centuries of Christian teaching, it denies the depth, variety, and richness of the text. Barton argues that the Bible is not a prescription to a complete, fixed religious system, but rather a product of a long and intriguing process which has inspired Judaism and Christianity, but still does not describe the whole of either religion. He argues that it must be read in its historical context-- from its beginnings in myth and folklore to its many interpretations throughout the centuries. -- adapted from jacket

Excerpt: ... chapter vi industrial relations Every community is made up of people. These, being human beings, eat food, wear clothes, cultivate the ground, build houses, work and trade, and have dealings one with the other. These community contacts, these relations of man with man, are the field of manifestation of the Christian spirit. "Without human life to act upon," says Professor Drummond, " without the relations of men with one another, of master with servant, husband with wife, buyer with seller, creditor with debtor, there is no such thing as Christianity. With actual things, with humanity in its every-day dress, with the traffic of the streets, with gates and houses, with work and wages, with sin and poverty, with these things and all the things and all the relations of the city, Christianity has to do, and has more to do than anything else." (Drummond, "The City Without a Church," p. 13.) the meaning of industry Man as we know him is a complex being of spirit and body. For the present, body is the abode of spirit, and spirit uses body. Sometimes these have been set in opposition and each has been treated by itself. In any comprehensive view of man both of these aspects must be considered and properly related, 1. Man a Complex Being This is the one thing vital here: God has ordained that man for the present shall be body and spirit, and these are so interknit and interdependent that neither can be considered by itself apart from the other. The other fact is that God's will covers the whole of man's being and makes provision for all of his needs. In discussing this subject of industrial relations, which, as we shall see, is concerned primarily with essential human needs, we are dealing with sacred things and are moving in line with the divine...
