Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his beginning, mankind has always endeavored to achieve liberty, liberty from oppression, domination, and suppression for himself, his family and his loved ones, sometimes battling against overwhelming odds for a vague assurance of peace and security. But what effort has been spent in seeking spiritual liberty from the different types of oppression, domination and suppression brought about by sin? God has the perfect method of achieving that much-desired freedom, freely giving His divine plan to mankind in His Holy Word. This book, using the Holy Bible, defines the nature of sin and the nature of man and places the nature of the Savior, Jesus, against them, specifically using the Apostle Pauls letter to the church at Galatia as he attempts to show the members of his church how they, themselves, came to achieve their liberty. Mans path to spiritual liberty is definitively outlined and discussed in a methodical manner, offering clear understanding of Gods eternal plan for mans salvation and his becoming free from the enslavement of sin.

Download or read book Christian Liberty written by James D. G. Dunn and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-01-18 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the New Testament as the charter of Christian liberty, distinguished biblical scholar James D.G. Dunn approaches the complex subject of freedom from the perspective of Scripture in order to demonstrate what is distinctively 'Christian' liberty. After opening with an overview of the historical development of the concept of liberty, Dunn goes on to examine three scriptural test cases that help to elucidate the (often tense) relationship (1) between freedom and authority, as revealed in the responses of Jesus to the dominant conventions of his day, (2) between liberty and the self, derived from Paul's teaching about sin, death, and the law, and (3) between liberty and society, illustrated by a masterly exposition of Romans 14-15. In a day when the forces of fundamentalism are gathering strength once again on all sides, the theme of liberty, and not least 'Christian' liberty, is one that demands attention. This study shows that the freedom of Jesus is something no Christian need fear, that liberty is not a threat to faith but one of its prime expressions.

Download or read book Why We Should Call Ourselves Christians written by Marcello Pera and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intellectual and political elite of the West is nowadays taking for granted that religion, in particular Christianity, is a cultural vestige, a primitive form of knowledge, a consolation for the poor minded, an obstacle to coexistence. In all influential environments, the widespread watchword is “We are all secular” or “We are all post-religious.” As a consequence, we are told that states must be independent of religious creed, politics must take a neutral stance regarding religious values, and societies must hold together without any reference to religious bonds. Liberalism, which in some form or another is the prevailing view in the West, is considered to be “free-standing,” and the Western, liberal, open society is taken to be “self-sufficient.” Not only is anti-Christian secularism wrong, it is also risky. It's wrong because the very ideas on which liberal societies are based and in terms of which they can be justified—the concept of the dignity of the human person, the moral priority of the individual, the view that man is a “crooked timber” inclined to prevarication, the limited confidence in the power of the state to render him virtuous—are typical Christian or, more precisely, Judeo-Christian ideas. Take them away and the open society will collapse. Anti-Christian secularism is risky because it jeopardizes the identity of the West, leaves it with no self-conscience, and deprives people of their sense of belonging. The Founding Fathers of America, as well as major intellectual European figures such as Locke, Kant, and Tocqueville, knew how much our civilization depends on Christianity. Today, American and European culture is shaking the pillars of that civilization. Written from a secular and liberal, but not anti-Christian, point of view, this book explains why the Christian culture is still the best antidote to the crisis and decline of the West. Pera proposes that we should call ourselves Christians if we want to maintain our liberal freedoms, to embark on such projects as the political unification of Europe as well as the special relationship between Europe and America, and to avoid the relativistic trend that affects our public ethics. “The challenges of our particular historical moment”, as Pope Benedict XVI calls them in the Preface to the book, can be faced only if we stress the historical and conceptual link between Christianity and free society.
