The Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing
Author: Jonathan T. Pennington
Publisher: Baker Academic
ISBN: 1493406639
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
The Sermon on the Mount, one of the most influential portions of the Bible, is the most studied and commented upon portion of the Christian Scriptures. Every Christian generation turns to it for insight and guidance. In this volume, a recognized expert on the Gospels shows that the Sermon on the Mount offers a clear window into understanding God's work in Christ. Jonathan Pennington provides a historical, theological, and literary commentary on the Sermon and explains how this text offers insight into God's plan for human flourishing. As Pennington explores the literary dimensions and theological themes of this famous passage, he situates the Sermon in dialogue with the Jewish and Greek virtue traditions and the philosophical-theological question of human flourishing. He also relates the Sermon's theological themes to contemporary issues such as ethics, philosophy, and economics.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
Bondage and imprisonment start in the mind. However, our healing and freedom also, start in the mind. Our intention to be free and happy is set in the heart and carried out by the mind and with faith. We simply need to accept the invitation. God built us perfectly and beautifully and gave us many powerful gifts. These gifts are not visible to the naked eye. These gifts are built in. They are natural and intrinsic and it is imperative that we find them and use them. These gifts are when we take our power back from wherever the place was we left it, or whoever we gave it to; places like addictions, poor decision making or in bad relationships with other people on any level. Dauntless A Story of Crime, Punishment, and Love was written to illustrate a journey of overcoming adversity.

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1740
Book Description
Thomas Watson was a 17th-century minister at the church of St. Stephen Walbrook in London. As a pastor, he set himself two goals. First, he wanted unbelievers to grieve over their fate and realize the necessity of God's grace. On the other hand, he wanted believers to rejoice in the assurance that they had received God's grace. His books are simple but exciting commentaries with many practical examples and applications. He explains the paradox that both good and bad events contribute to the benefit of believers. He spends a great deal of time explaining what it means to love God and be called by His will. In this book, Watson manages to answer one of the most plaguing theological questions of all time: Why do bad things happen to good people? This eBook includes the following 14 volumes by Thomas Watson: Body of Practical Divinity The Ten Commandments The Lord's Prayer The Beatitudes The Godly Man's Picture The Art of Divine Contentment A Treatise Concerning Meditation The Great Gain of Godliness The Doctrine of Repentance The Mischief of Sin A Divine Cordial The Christian Soldier The Christian's Charter The Duty of Self-Denial
