The First Theologians
Author: Thomas Gillespie
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802839794
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
This title focuses purely on company accounts, rather than dealing with areas such as group accounts, sole traders and partnerships. Many accounting reference works are aimed at larger businesses and take into account the additional requirements imposed by the Financial Services Authority (for listed companies) or international financial reporting standards. It is aimed at accountants in small to medium sized companies as it will focus on the UK accounting requirements as they affect private companies, and will pay particular attention to the exemptions available to companies that qualify as small under the Companies Act 1985.

Foundations of Systematic Theology
Author: Thomas G. Guarino
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0567200329
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Guarino argues in this book that the doctrinal form of the Christian faith, in its essential characteristics, calls for certain theoretical exigencies. This is to say that the proportion and beauty of the form is not served or illuminated by simply any presuppositions. Rather, a determinate understanding of first philosophy, of the nature of truth, of hermeneutical theory, of the predication of language and mutual correlation is required if Christian faith and doctrine are to maintain a recognizable and suitably mediative form. Failing to adduce specific principles will lead either to a simple assertion of Christian truth, in which case the form of Christianity becomes less intelligible and attractive-or one will substitute a radically changed form, which is itself inappropriate for displaying the fundamental revelatory narrative of faith. The house of Christian faith possesses a certain proportion of structure; the form will sag badly if one removes an undergirding item, or if one beam is replaced with another of variable shape or size. The form's beauty will either be obscured, no longer clearly visible, or the form will become something quite different, no longer architectonically related to what was originally the case. The intention of this book is to discuss those doctrinal characteristics considered fundamental to the Christian faith, as protective of its revelatory form and, concomitantly, to examine the theoretical principles required if such form is to remain both intelligible and beautiful.

A Journey Through Christian Theology
Author: William P. Anderson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780800696979
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The history of Christian theology can be a daunting, even forbidding field of study. This people-friendly volume, a full-scale reader in the history of Christian thought, offers a non-threatening, occasionally humorous yet quite thorough entry into Christianity's central texts from the Apostolic fathers to Sallic McFague and James Cone. It is also elso enlivened by dozens of cartoons by Rich Diesslin. Highly accessible introductions to twelve major historical periods precede brief introductions to and texts from over fifty key thinkers and conciliar statements. The texts highlight perennial themes and questions in the Christian tradition, especially the meaning and importance of Jesus, challenges to the institutional church, tensions of faith and reason, spirituality, and the quest for social justice. "A textual tour of the entire theological tradition that stops at all the must-see literary locales, as well as lesser known, but fascinating, destinations. The editor complements each text with an insightful introduction and probing study questions. This collection is an invaluable resource for any introductory course on the history of Christian thought and doctrine." John E. Thiel Professor of Religious Studies, Fairfield University "As a teacher of a reqired survey course---"The Christian Tradition'---I long have sought a primary-sources anthology of reasonable length (and cost) that provides excerpts from key figures and sets them in dialog with one another to model exactly the kind of cross-era conversation that must continue today. The revised edition of William Anderson's A Journey through Christian Theology looks to fit the bill nicely." George C. Heider Professor of Theology, Valparaiso University "Users of this anthology need not fear about losing their way on the `Journey': Anderson is a reliable guide, providing well-chosen texts, accurate introductions, penetrating study questions, and a helpful glossary."Denis R. Janz Provost Distinguished Professor of the History of Christianity, Loyolu University New Orleans
