Book Description
Showing the Holy Violence a Christian is to put Forth in the Pursuit After Glory Building on Jesus's words that "the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force" (Matt. 11:12), Heaven Taken by Storm reminds us that Christians are spiritual warriors and the kingdom advances through warfare. As Watson puts it, "Our life is military. Christ is our Captain, the gospel is the banner, the graces are our spiritual artillery, and heaven is only taken in a forcible way." In his typically heart-searching style, replete with practical illustrations and gripping remarks, Watson describes how the Christian is to take the kingdom of heaven by holy violence through the reading and exposition of Scripture, prayer, meditation, self-examination, conversation, and the sanctification of the Lord's Day. Moreover, he poignantly calls the believer to be vigilant against the flesh, Satan, and the world. Soldiers of Christ will find this a practical handbook on Christian living. Table of Contents: Taking the Kingdom of Heaven by Holy Violence The Christian Offering Violence to Himself Offering Violence by the Reading of the Word Offering Violence by the Hearing of the Word Offering Violence by Prayer Offering Violence by Meditation Offering Violence by Self-Examination Offering Violence by Sanctifying the Lord's Day Offering Violence by Holy Conversation The Christian Offering Violence to Satan The Christian Offering Violence to the World The Christian Offering Violence to Heaven Arrows of Reproof to Those Not Offering Violence Examining Whether We Are Offering Violence Objections against Offering Violence Motives for Exhorting All Christians to Offer Violence Take Heed of Hindrances to Offering Violence Directions on How to Promote Offering Violence Conclusion: What Shall We Do?

Book Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
