"Like tenacious alfalfa roots, which reach deep into the ground and transfer essential nutrients to the soil's surface, Ragan Sutterfield digs deep into the subsoil of agrarian thought, Christian faith, and his own experience as a farmer, and brings up life-giving nourishment for all to share. In this world of smartphones and dumbed-down culture, Cultivating Reality points us toward those habits of mind that deepen our relationship with the world, with God, and with each other. Here's to 'the pr

Tomando como punto de partida la «mundanidad espiritual», el artículo analiza la relación entre el misterio del mal y la figura del Anticristo con la historia del cristianismo y la modernidad, tratando de entender la afirmación de que la corrupción de lo mejor engendra lo peor. Concluyo con el carácter inevitable de que el trigo y la cizaña crecerán juntos en el régimen de la encarnación del Verbo y con la vigilancia y el testimonio de las fuentes cristianas ante los efectos sombríos, eclesiales

Die Kirchen beanspruchen seit Gründung der Bundesrepublik einen arbeitsrechtlichen Sonderstatuts für ihre Mitarbeitenden. Dieser mit dem Begriff "Dienstgemeinschaft" etikettierte Sonderstatus ist jedoch nicht, wie lange unterstellt, theologisch begründet, sondern es handelt sich um eine verhängnisvolle Übernahme aus dem nationalsozialistischen Arbeitsrecht. In politischen Fragen haben sich beide große Kirchen heute sehr klar für Menschenrechte und gegen faschistische Politikmodelle positioniert.

The Bible tells Christians not to grieve as the world grieves and to rejoice in their sufferings. Yet when author Kevin Ott lost his mother unexpectedly in 2010, he sank into a wintry depression.


When life seemed the darkest, something surprising happened. While exploring eighteen C. S. Lewis books and thirteen U2 albums, he experienced tremendous "stabs of joy"—the unusual heaven-birthed joy that Lewis wrote about—in the midst of grief. This revelation not only pulled Kevin out of

Für die Nachfolge von Jesus gibt es keine Versicherung, keine Absicherung. Ganz im Gegenteil: Erst, wenn wir bereit sind, alles loszulassen, fängt das Leben im Glauben an! Friedhelm Holthuis motiviert in seinem Buch dazu, als Nachfolger von Jesus wieder risikofreudig zu werden. Er beleuchtet einige der zentralen Glaubensmomente aus der Bibel, teilt persönliche Glaubensschritt-Momente und er ruft uns in Erinnerung, wie vertrauenswürdig unser Gott ist: Der, an den wir glauben, ist tatsächlich allm

The Book of Daniel is the place where prophecy and theology meet in a teenage boy named Daniel in captivity to a foreign king. Along with Daniel's friends, the reader comes face-to-face with the realities in his own life:

-How a believer must live in times of apostasy;
-How a believer may follow the Lord in the most secular of conditions;
-How a follower of Christ can trust Christ even when it seems He is not in control;
-How a disciple of Jesus can meet the demands of disci

"Spanring rescues Koster's (Ana)Baptist path of resistance from obscurity, and by contrast throws new light on Bonhoeffer's path. His comparative study reveals two men who drew skillfully on their respective traditions while fighting just as courageously against distortions of them. Arguing that their lives serve as boundary markers on opposite sides of the path of discipleship, Spanring urges fellow travelers to remember they followed Jesus to the borders by clinging closely to Christ, the cent

The book is written in a clear and accessible literary style, making complex theological concepts understandable to a wide audience. Torrey

The books of the Minor Prophets resound with fierce condemnations of injustice and stunning examples of Yahweh's persistent mercy. Centuries-old prophecies come to pass, justice is served to corrupt leaders, and the oppressed are delivered.


 


The book of Hosea presents an intimate allegory of God's love. The books of Joel, Amos, and Zephaniah proclaim the judgment and blessing of the coming day of Yahweh. The book of Jonah shows God's eagerness to forgive. The books o

This series of publications is designed to promote the creation of resources for the church at worship. It promotes the creation of two types of material, what we are calling primary and secondary liturgical art.

Like primary liturgical theology, classically understood as the actual prayer and practice of people at worship, primary liturgical art is that which is produced to give voice

To uphold the "right of private judgment," and our "Christian liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free;" to add fuel to the fire of investigation, and in the crucible of deep inquiry, melt from the gold of pure religion, the dross of man's invention; to appeal from the erring tribunals of a fallible Priesthood, and restore to its original state the mutilated Testament of the Saviour; also to induce all earnest thinkers to search not a part, but the whole of the Scriptures, if therein they thin

Auf spielerische Weise verbindet Lorenz Marti Zeugnisse der Mystik mit ganz alltäglichen Erfahrungen und fragt nach der praktischen Bedeutung spiritueller Weisheiten. Er verteilt keine Rezepte und empfiehlt keine Übungen, präsentiert keine Theorien – er beobachtet, stellt Fragen, und nimmt seine Leser mit – mitten ins Herz des Alltäglichen. Spiritualität kann beim Schnüren der Schuhe beginnen, frühmorgens, wenn die Zeit knapp ist und der Stress groß, und plötzlich ein Schuhbändel reißt. Der Ort,

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Theologie - Biblische Theologie, Note: 2,0, Seminar Schloss Bogenhofen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der zu betrachtende Vers steht in Offenbarung 8,7. Es ist der Beginn der sieben Posaunen und, wenn man einigen Theologen Glauben schenken möchte , dann das Gericht Gottes und damit die Antwort auf das Gebet der Gläubigen ist (8,2-5), die vor Gott gebracht wurden. Ob diese These haltbar ist oder ob sich darüber hinaus neue Möglichkeiten der Auslegung e

Die Verfassung der Weimarer Republik von 1919 ordnete das Schulsystem, den schulischen Religionsunterricht sowie das Staat-Kirchen-Verhältnis neu. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersuchte der "Arbeitskreis für historische Religionspädagogik" auf seiner Jahrestagung 2018 die Frage, wie sich gesellschaftspolitische Demokratisierungsprozesse und konzeptionelle, inhaltliche sowie systematische Ausgestaltungsformen religiöser Bildung wechselseitig beeinflussten.

Viele Menschen haben unklare, anfechtbare Vorstellungen vom Schöpfer-Gott - mit bedingt durch eine holzschnittartige Glaubenslehre. Hinzu kommt die Unterbewertung biblischer Bilder und Bildworte, oft auch deren schlichte Deutung, die Bild, Symbol und Sachverhalt nicht unterscheidet, etwa bei Begriffen wie Allgegenwart, Allgüte, Allmacht. Wenn wir uns trauen, auch den biblischen Glauben im Rahmen der Kosmologie zu sehen, lässt sich sogar das Erscheinen Jesu innerhalb der Erd- und Menschheitsgesch

- Hearts Minds Bookstore's Best Books of 2015, Social Criticism and Cultural EngagementIn our post-Christian context, public life has become markedly more secular and private life infinitely more diverse.

“This book is a clear and powerful attempt to show how the truth claims of Christian theology can be advanced in the contemporary world. Trevor Hart deftly navigates between dogmatism on the one hand and relativism on the other, arguing that the role faith plays in theology does not reduce theology to a non-rational ‘personal choice,’ since faith commitments are an essential element in other forms of knowledge. In this second edition, Hart argues that the particularities of Christian thinking ha

God created all of us for relationship with God and each other. Yet most people have felt left out at some point. For those with visible or invisible disabilities, attitudes and systems of ableism can particularly lead to deep hurt and barriers to fully participating in God's kingdom work. We all miss out when any members of the body of Christ are not included.

Spiritual Gifts: A Christ-Centered Perspective is just that, centered on Christ. It provides a new perspective on spiritual gifts, seeing the person and work of Christ as the foundation for the gifts of the Spirit. The coming of Jesus into the world opens the way for the whole people of God to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit and to share in God's work in the world. The book takes a broad New Testament approach to exploring the gifts, carefully examining the meaning of the gifts by considering the

The God of peace is never glorified by human violence. Thomas Merton 'The God of Peace', John Dear's classic theology of nonviolence, broke new ground when it was first published as a breakthrough toward a new understanding of scripture, theology, social concerns and churches issues--from the perspective of Gospel nonviolence, in the tradition of Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Dorothy Day. This ground-breaking study begins not just with the culture of violence, but the nonviolenc

THE Sibyls occupy a conspicuous place in the traditions and history of ancient Greece and Rome. Their fame was spread abroad long before the beginning of the Christian era. Heraclitus of Ephesus, five centuries before Christ, compared himself to the Sibyl "who, speaking with inspired mouth, without a smile, without ornament, and without perfume, penetrates through centuries by the power of the gods." The ancient traditions vary in reporting the number and the names of these weird prophetesses, a
