Религия: прочее

Sich regelmäßig geistliches „Kraftfutter“ zuzuführen ist wichtig, keine Frage. Allerdings erweist sich der gute Vorsatz, täglich eine Andacht zu lesen, meist als unhaltbar – ganz realistisch schafft man es nur etwa alle zwei Tage. Deshalb ist dieses Andachtsbuch für jeden zweiten Tag des Jahres, ein „Andachtsbuch für Aufrichtige“, sozusagen.

Es ist keine bedeutende Gemeinde, die sich der Gründer der Kirche für seinen Besuch ausgewählt hat. Und wie schon vor 2000 Jahren hält er sich wieder nicht an die Spielregeln und zeremoniellen Abläufe. Für die einen wird er zum Stein des Anstoßes, für die anderen zum Retter und Befreier … Die tief bewegende Geschichte einer unverhofften und unerwarteten Wiederkehr, die das Herz eines Menschen und die Grundfesten ganzer Kirchen erschüttern kann.

In diesem Buch umwandert der Autor immer denselben höchsten Berg. Oft bewegt er sich nicht und betrachtet seine majestätische Schönheit. Dann bestaunt er ihn von einem anderen Standpunkt, doch es ist immer derselbe stabile Berg namens Liebe.

Jack and Diane. Two names joined in the common parlance by a pop song. They are also the aliases of two people whose real names–Adam and Eve–are no less joined in the common parlance, and represent the divine calling they share–a calling to show humanity the way back to the garden of Eden. Neither knows the other exists until their travels lead them to the same town. It is there that their mission begins–a mission that unleashes terrors, teaches lessons, and yields the answers they hope will...

Readers journey through the seasons of the church year as Hansen recounts doubts, conversions, frustrations, and confessions. Ultimately, these poems are...

The lexicon of the church is confusing to those who are not a part of the culture. Given the great commission and our call to «make disciples» (Matt 28), I have thought a lot about how to explain some of the terms long time church attenders are very familiar with in a way that invites new believers into the conversation that has been going on for centuries. This devotional includes definitions of words often used in Scripture and church culture. All of the definitions are taken from the...

Jesus invited his disciples to be with him in Gethsemane as he struggled with his own hour of death. These Lenten devotions are intended to help us do just that: to be with Jesus in his hour(s) facing dying–not just as observers, but as fellow mortals, with all of our own fears and anxieties. The daily exposure and interaction with texts of Scripture related to Jesus' own dying will bring the reader into close interaction with Jesus and biblical sources of promise and hope. Through...

„Danke, Gott, auch fürs Kompott!“ (Neuaufl age) ist eine Sammlung origineller Tischgebete für alle Gelegenheiten. Alle Gebete sind bewusst kurz und in Reimform gehalten, sie trainieren nicht nur die Sprachfähigkeit und das Rhythmusgefühl, sondern sie lassen sich so auch viel schneller merken und auch mal in der Schule oder woanders beten.

In seventeenth-century France, Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) writes about the suffering of the apocalypse followed by the consummation of the second coming. Guyon believed that in our earthly pilgrimage, we may find the way to union with our Savior Jesus Christ. To read her commentary on Revelation–translated into English here for the first time–is to be caught up in her conversation with the living Lord. We experience the wonder and passion of this conversation which is her authenticity at its...

The desire and struggle to pray pulses through this spiritually resonant collection in forms as various as psalms, Tai Chi, meditation, needlework, lament, and thanksgiving. Even poems not overtly about prayer lead the reader into prayer-like contemplation as the poet considers war, environmental devastation, corporate greed, and poverty as personal, as well as sociopolitical, subjects. Crossing borders between the distant and the local, the historic and the contemporary, I Call to You from...

The question «What is human nature?» is in vogue today. Like everything else, this concept is being deconstructed in the context of the reigning ideology of individualistic materialism. Is there a fixed human nature, or is this simply a manipulatable social construct with no objective reference? This book says: «Yes, there is: the imago Dei: man/woman created in the image of God.» Hobson argues that this text from Genesis 1:26-28 is a God-given anthropological revelation that establishes the...

People have used the Bible for a variety of purposes over the course of the past two thousand years; unfortunately, many of those uses have reinforced power structures and systems that oppress and dominate those without privilege. Worst of all, people have used the Bible as a means to divide humanity into those who are worthy of salvation and those who are not. However, if we look at the lectionary readings, especially the gospels, we can see that God actively seeks to undercut and subvert...

Jonathan Edwards' (1703-58) ideas are among the most significant to the development of Reformed Theology in America. However brief the life of his intellection tradition, Edwards' ideas and their reception remain an integral part of contemporary theological dialogue. Hitherto no work has appeared that sheds as much systematic light on the reception of Edwards' ideas than Maltby Gelston's (1766-1865) Systematic Collection of Questions and Answers in Divinity. As a ministerial...

Your God is too small–way too small! What if God is not a human-like personal being but the God Beyond God of the Christian mystical traditions? What if God is the ultimate reality beyond all beings, including beyond all divine beings, indeed beyond all Being? It's a mind-bending idea. Speaking of God as a human-like personal being is much easier but people who care about the deepest mystical understandings of God within our traditions need to make the effort to speak about the God Beyond...

Nothing that God created is the source of our human temptation. To the contrary! The human body is the crown of God's creation–consummated by his declaration that it was good. That God's people are unable to view the body without sinning is not an indictment of the body itself, but of the immaturity of the post-modern evangelical mind. We live in a culture whose inhabitants spend billions of dollars a year to see each other naked on internet sites and in pornographic films, yet are...

In today's world the Christian is constantly being challenged with new teachings. Some of these are particularly dangerous because they are put forward by those with evangelical credentials. Tom Nicholas Wright is one of the leading proponents of the New Perspective on Paul. Wright sees himself as the new Luther, a discoverer of the true biblical understanding of key doctrines like that of justification by faith. According to him, the Reformation misunderstood the nature of justification by...
