Download or read book The Early Twentieth century Dispensationalism of Arno C Gaebelein written by Michael D. Stallard and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents an analytical description of the theological methods of Arno C. Gaebelein, a leading dispensational and fundamentalist speaker and writer. Gaebelein's entire theological system, ground in a thorough acceptance of evangelical belief and emphasizing bibliology, Christology, and eschatology, was organized around the central interpretive motif of prophetic hope focused on the personal Second Coming of Christ. While contributing to a deeper understanding of the history of fundamentalism and dispensationalism, Gaebelein's example helps to establish a descriptive definition of dispensationalism based mostly upon hermeneutical concerns.

Download or read book One Gospel written by Nathan N. Hoff and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is faith in Messiah necessary to the content of saving faith in the Old Testament as it is in the New? While the dispensational tradition has been clear that salvation in every age includes a common object (God), a common basis (Christ’s death), and a common requirement (faith), it has not always agreed on the content of saving faith across the testaments. Written within the dispensational tradition, One Gospel seeks to advance the discussion by looking at Paul’s use of the Abraham story in Romans 4. This work contends there is continuity between the Old Testament and the New as illustrated by Abraham and Paul. The content of saving faith must always include faith in Messiah, who, in the progress of revelation, is identified as Jesus Christ.
Download or read book The Urban Pulpit written by Matthew Bowman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Bowman explores the world of a neglected group of American Christians: the self-identified liberal evangelicals who began in late nineteenth-century New York to reconcile traditional evangelical spirituality with progressive views on social activism and theological questions. These evangelicals emphasized the importance of supernatural conversion experience, but also argued that scientific advances, new movements in art, and the decline in poverty created by a new industrial economy could facilitate encounters with Christ. The Urban Pulpit chronicles the struggle of liberal evangelicals against conservative Protestants who questioned their theological sincerity and against secular reformers who grew increasingly devoted to the cause of cultural pluralism and increasingly suspicious of evangelicals over the course of the twentieth century. Liberal evangelicals walked a difficult path, facing increasing polarization in twentieth-century American public life; both conservative evangelicals and secular reformers insisted that religion and science were necessarily at odds and that evangelical Christianity was incompatible with cultural diversity. Liberal evangelicals rejected these simple dichotomies, but nonetheless found it increasingly difficult to defend their middle way. Drawing on history, anthropology, and religious studies, Bowman paints a complex portrait of these understudied Christians at work, at worship, and engaged in advocacy in the public square.

Download or read book The Last Things written by Donald G. Bloesch and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2010-03-23 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Last Things Donald G. Bloesch takes up difficult and sometimes controversial themes such as the coming of the kingdom of God, the return of Jesus Christ, the life hereafter, the millennial hope, the final judgment, hell, heaven, purgatory and paradise. Wrestling with biblical texts that often take metaphorical form, Bloesch avoids rationalistic reductionism as well as timid agnosticism. While he acknowledges mystery and even paradox, Bloesch finds biblical revelation much more than sufficient to illuminate the central truths of a Christian hope articulated throughout the history of the church. The Last Things is not just a review of past Christian eschatology but a fresh articulation of the grace and glory of God yet to be consummated. The triumph of the grace of Jesus Christ and the dawning of hope beckon us to reach out in the power of the Spirit to receive that blessed future and the promise to renew the life of the church universal today.

Download or read book The Gathering Storm written by Mal Couch and published by . This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to signal the warning that a gathering storm is on the horizon. Events are leading us closer to the prophesied apostasy and the rapture of the church. In the growing darkened social and spiritual climate, Christians may face a deepening isolation and an outright denial of the opportunity to witness the saving grace of Christ Jesus. Churches may also begin to feel a sharp curtailment of ministry, especially in speaking against the moral evils of the culture. Not all of the chapters in this book are warning chapters, but together they are meant to lay out a mosaic of things to come. Some of those things have to do with what is taking place in the world, but other issues also point to drastic changes within the larger Evangelical culture. 1. Sixteen outstanding authors and scholars have come together to warn Christians that the storm prophesied in Scripture is on the horizon. 2. The majority of Evangelical seminaries are shifting away from the teaching of prophetic truth. Learn why in this book. 3. Why are truths like the rapture, the tribulation, and the kingdom reign of Christ being denied? This book is written to tell you. 4. In the growing denial of Bible prophecy, what can we expect next? As the November election of 2004 neared, America awakened and found itself split down the middle between two ideologies, between liberal and conservative, but more, between moral Christian values, and between humanistic and secular values. Never before has the nation been so divided in such a deep and devious way. Events that unfold and transpire past 2004 will tell us just how deep the split is in the psyche of the nation. But while America is coming to terms with a liberal agenda that is without doubt destructive, in Europe and Asia there is no division because Christian mores have nothing to do with what is taking place in those cultural and religious climates. Europe long ago repudiated the spiritual heritage left over from the Reformation. And it can be fair to say that the tombstone is about to be placed over the Christian influences that have so led this nation in the past. The changes are now coming so fast spiritually and morally that the entire social fabric of the country is about to tear and fragment. Here are some examples: l In 1993 63% of Americans claimed to be Protestant, but unfortunately in that survey, Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses were included in the count. In 2002 the number saying they are Protestant Christians had dropped to 52%. Within a few years Protestants will be a minority in America! l In 2003 14% percent of Americans claimed to have no religion. l Up to 1993 Protestant denominations retained 90% of their congregants. The number now is 80%. It is admitted that because the mainline denominations are turning so quickly to liberalism, they are shrinking rapidly and may soon disappear altogether. The signs that the nation, and the world, is rapidly moving quickly to social and moral humanism are seen in the issues listed below on which Christian values no longer have an influence: Abortion Stem-cell research using aborted baby tissue Homosexual agendas Same-sex marriage Galloping socialism Euthanasia While some argue that these issues are simply social shifts that will not sap the strength of the western nations, such rapid changes point to an outright repudiation of biblical morality. Then there is the Middle East and Israel. Evangelicals who hold strongly to what the Bible teaches about the end times, see prophetic patterns in the establishment of the nation of Israel along with the return of the Jewish people to the promised land, and the rise of militant Islam. The Middle East is a powder keg that could explode and draw into that area the entire world. Changes in Europe also point to prophetic signposts. Europe is now virtually a united one nation! It now uses a Euro-dollar, and has a sitting parliament with an elected president. It also is rapidly moving to a total economic inter-dependence. Many of these changes point clearly to the prophesied one-world government that will dominate the globe during the great seven-year tribulation period. I have assembled some close friends and outstanding spiritual scholars to write about the deepening moral darkness looming on the horizon of our world. I trust that what they have written will help believers in Christ to understand the times we live in, but too, to become more diligent about sharing the good news of salvation found only in the Lord Jesus Christ.
