Book Description
There are many ways to tell a story, and after 500 years of the Lutheran family, there are lots of stories to tell. For a movement that is so large and so old, the story of Lutheranism could be told in any number of large and important books. But sometimes, in trying to tell the big story, the smaller stories get lost. There are just so many details that readers can lose track about where they are and what is going on. This book tells the narrative a different way, by focusing on the small stories the stories of Lutheran individuals and groups and events over the course of 500 years. Each one is brief, only about 800 words. But the stories themselves illustrate their particular time and place, and give you, the reader, a sense of how Lutherans lived out their faith in their particular context.

Gregory of Nyssa Against Eunomius
Author: Saint Gregory of Nyssa
Publisher: Aeterna Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
It seems that the wish to benefit all, and to lavish indiscriminately upon the first comer one’s own gifts, was not a thing altogether commendable, or even free from reproach in the eyes of the many; seeing that the gratuitous waste of many prepared drugs on the incurably-diseased produces no result worth caring about, either in the way of gain to the recipient, or reputation to the would-be benefactor. Rather such an attempt becomes in many cases the occasion of a change for the worse. The hopelessly-diseased and now dying patient receives only a speedier end from the more active medicines; the fierce unreasonable temper is only made worse by the kindness of the lavished pearls, as the Gospel tells us. I think it best, therefore, in accordance with the Divine command, for any one to separate the valuable from the worthless when either have to be given away, and to avoid the pain which a generous giver must receive from one who treads upon his pearl,’ and insults him by his utter want of feeling for its beauty.
