The Doctrine of Scripture
Author: Brad East
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532665008
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
When Holy Scripture is read aloud in the liturgy, the church confesses with joy and thanksgiving that it has heard the word of the Lord. What does it mean to make that confession? And why does it occasion praise? The doctrine of Scripture is a theological investigation into those and related questions, and this book is an exploration of that doctrine. It argues backward from the church's liturgical practice, presupposing the truth of the Christian confession: namely, that the canon does in fact mediate the living word of the risen Christ to and for his people. What must be true of the sacred texts of Old and New Testament alike for such confession, and the practices of worship in which they are embedded, to be warranted? By way of an answer, the book examines six aspects of the doctrine of Scripture: its source, nature, attributes, ends, interpretation, and authority. The result is a catholic and ecumenical presentation of the historic understanding of the Bible common to the people of God across the centuries, an understanding rooted in the church's sacred tradition, in service to the gospel, and redounding to the glory of the triune God.

Doctrines of the Christian Religion
Author: William Wilson Stevens
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780802869869
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Written to provide a much needed textbook of Christian doctrine on the college and university level, DOCTRINES OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION will also fulfill the demand for a "layman's theology." As it assumes only a meager knowledge of the Bible on the part of the reader, the book reads easily. Dr. Stevens chooses to approach biblical doctrine etymologically, but is aware of the student's deficiencies in Hebrew and Greek. He has, therefore, transliterated all terms, obviating the necessity of understanding the original. Experience has revealed that students will not stop reading the textbook long enough to refer to their Bible when biblical references are given. Therefore both the reference and passage are included in the text. Fully outlined, with footnotes and exhaustive indices, OOCTRINE OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION will prove to be a valuable reference work for the student and layman.

The Book of Doctrines and Beliefs
Author: Saʻadia ben Joseph
Publisher: Hackett Publishing
ISBN: 9780872206397
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Saadya ben Joseph al-Fayyumi (882-942), gaon (head) of the rabbinic academy at Sura and one of the preeminent Jewish thinkers of the medieval period, attempted to create a complete statement of Jewish religious philosophy in which all strands of philosophical thought were to be knit into a unified system. In The Book of Doctrines and Beliefs, Saadya sought to rescue believers from a sea of doubt and the waters of confusion into which they had been cast by Christianity, Islam, and other faiths. By employing philosophical--or kalamic--argumentation to examine and defend traditional Jewish beliefs, Saadya hoped to turn blind faith into conviction based on rational understanding. First published in 1946, and reprinted here without alteration, Alexander Altmann's judicious abridgment of his own translation has remained the standard edition of this influential work. A new Introduction by Daniel Frank sets Saadya's work in its broader historical, cultural, and philosophical contexts.
