Book Description
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” (Hebrews 9:27) Death; An unfortunate reality that awaits all men. Jesus’ sacrifice solved the eternal death problem; the physical appointment with death – caused by Adam, nonetheless, still remains sacrosanct. More intimidating also, is the mystery behind the timing, when this menace decides to pay his visit; as the hour of death, is unknown to most men. Some, however, who by reason of their misdeeds, have been placed on death row. These ones, are certain of when their ‘ends’ would be. Perhaps, the luxury of not knowing the scheduled time for death, affords many the ease and comfort to embrace this life, without care and worry. To those on death row, this is not the case. The sheer horror of knowing one’s ‘death date’, petrifies. It also transfixes and stupefies – mildly put. The Gethsemane episode of the Christ, could best be explained by the death row experience. Because of His omniscient nature, the Son of God knew what was soon to happen. He fully understood the cruelty and savagery, that He was about to face. Knowing His death date, was bad enough. Worse, were the coming betrayals, isolation and immense torture. His foreknowledge of these events, only offered Him more misery. Grief, pain and unbearable agony. In some thirty-three years the Christ had spent on Earth, He was never this vulnerable. The Son of God, was really at His wits end! That day – and in that place, the whole plan for redemption could have been aborted. An action, that would have doomed our fates forever. But what sustained the Son of God on His quest? What kept Him resolute, even as His odyssey hung by a thread? Let’s take a walk through that garden, at Gethsemane. Listen to the echoes… ‘even as we appreciate our Lord’s perseverance, patience and love, in His venture to save our souls. Lest we forget!

Expositions of the Psalms 1-32 (Vol. 1)
Author: Saint Augustine (of Hippo)
Publisher: New City Press
ISBN: 1565481402
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
"As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo."--Publisher's website.

THE HOURS OF THE PASSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
Author: LUISA PICCARRETA
Publisher: Fivestar
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
In 1914, Luisa writes in a letter to the now Saint, Annibale M. di Francia: “I am finally sending you this handwritten copy of The Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. May it all be for His greater Glory. I have also enclosed a few pages where I describe the effects and the beautiful promises that Jesus makes to everyone who meditates these Hours of the Passion. I believe that if whoever meditates on them is a sinner, he will convert; if he is imperfect, he will become perfect; if he is holy, he will become holier; if he is tempted, he will find victory; if suffering, he will find strength, medicine, and comfort in these Hours; if weak and poor, he will find a spiritual food and a mirror in which to look at himself continually and so become beautiful and similar to Jesus, our model”.

Jesus Remembered
Author: James D. G. Dunn
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802839312
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1046
Book Description
In Christianity in the making, James D.G. Dunn examines in depth the major factors that shaped first-generation Christianity and beyond, exploring the parting of the ways between Christianity and Judaism, the Hellenization of Christianity, and responses to Gnosticism. He mines all the first- and second-century sources, including the New Testament Gospels, New Testament apocrypha, and such church fathers as Ignatius, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus, showing how the Jesus tradition and the figures of James, Paul, Peter, and John were still esteemed influences but were also the subject of intense controversy as the early church wrestled with its evolving identity.

Systematic Theology, Second Edition
Author: Wayne A. Grudem
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310517990
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1617
Book Description
This new edition of Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem is one of the most important resources for helping you understand Scripture and grow as a Christian. The most widely used resource of the last 25 years in its area, Systematic Theology has been thoroughly revised and expanded for the first time while retaining the features that have made it the standard in its field: clear explanations, an emphasis on each doctrine's scriptural basis, and practical applications to daily life. With nearly 250 pages of new content and revisions, this new edition now includes the following distinctive features: Updated analysis of recent controversies within evangelical theology, including the eternal relationship between the Father and the Son in the Trinity, the role of women in the church, miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, and contemporary worship music. New discussion and critiques of recent theological controversies situated outside of traditional evangelical theology, such as open theism, the "new perspective on Paul," Molinism (or "middle knowledge"), "Free Grace" theology, and the preterist view of Christ's second coming. Completely revised chapter on the clarity of Scripture. Completely revised chapter on creation and evolution, including a longer critique of theistic evolution and an extensive discussion on the age of the earth. New discussion of how biblical inerrancy applies to some specific "problem verses" in the Gospels. Additional material explaining evangelical Protestant differences with Roman Catholicism, Protestant liberalism, and Mormonism. Completely updated bibliographies. All Scripture quotations updated from RSV to ESV. Updated section on contemporary worship music. Numerous other updates and corrections. Part of the brilliance of Systematic Theology has been its simplicity and ease of use. Each chapter follows the same structure: discussion of the doctrine being considered, an explanation of that doctrine's biblical support and possible objections, followed by personal application and key terms to know for personal growth. Chapters also include a Scripture memory passage, references to other literature on the topic, and suggested hymns and worship songs. If you think theology is hard to understand or boring, then this new edition of Systematic Theology will change your mind.
