Download or read book Faith Speaking Understanding written by Kevin J. Vanhoozer and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, highly esteemed scholar Kevin Vanhoozer introduces readers to a way of thinking about Christian theology that takes the work he began in the groundbreaking 2005 book, The Drama of Doctrine, to its next level. Vanhoozer argues that theology is not merely a set of cognitive beliefs, but is also something we do that involves speech and action alike. He uses a theatrical model to explain the ways in which doctrine shapes Christian understanding and forms disciples. The church, Vanhoozer posits, is the preeminent theater where the gospel is "performed," with doctrine directing this performance. Doctrines are not simply truths to be stored, shelved, and stacked, but indications and directions to be followed, practiced, and enacted. In "performing" doctrine, Christians are shaped into active disciples of Jesus Christ. He goes on to examine the state of the church in today's world and explores how disciples can do or perform doctrine. Written in an accessible and engaging style, Faith Speaking Understanding sets forth a compelling vision of what the church is and what it should be doing, and demonstrates the importance of Christian doctrine for this mission. Disciples who want to follow Christ in all situations need doctrinal direction as they walk onto the social stage in the great theater of the world. The Christian faith is about acknowledging, and participating in, the great thing God is doing in our world: making all things new in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Doctrine ministers understanding: of God, of the drama of redemption, of the church as a company of faithful players, and of individual actors, all of whom have important roles to play. In an age where things fall apart and centers fail to hold, doctrine centers us in Jesus Christ, in whom all things hold together.

Do you try to seek God's will for your plans but are not able to discern His guidance? Is your faith plagued by doubts over prayers not answered and uncertainty about His will? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Understanding Prayer, Faith, and God's Will is just the book you need. In this powerful self-help book, Roman Ri takes on the root questions that many people, both Christians and nonbelievers, have about prayer, faith, and God's will. Looking at our human journey, the author considers both our collective experience and real-life situations. He discusses prayer and God's will with both depth and simplicity. When you struggle with faith and prayer, it can be difficult to determine God's will for your life.

Many have walked the same path you may now find yourself on, with unanswered questions about prayer, so take heart and know that your inner doubts will be resolved. Understanding Prayer, Faith, and God's Will presents biblical truths that have not been realized before. It expounds God's will from the Scripture as well as our experience. What you learn will provide clarity in the way you see—and seek—His will. Your faith will be fortified by knowledge and understanding. With renewed confidence and resolve, you will walk with God and serve Him, fully Understanding Prayer, Faith, and God's Will.
