Book Description
Too often people believe that they have to be perfect to be forgiven, but Christ came to save the lost. Just because an alcoholic accepts Christ though, or goes to AA, does not mean he will necessarily be able to stop his addictions. Learn about the poignant struggle of one believer and what the Bible really has to say about addiction, Heaven and Hell, and who Jesus really is.

Author: Kent Dunnington
Publisher: InterVarsity Press
ISBN: 0830839011
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
In this interdisciplinary work, Kent Dunnington brings the neglected resources of philosophical and theological analysis to bear on the problem of addiction.

Anonymous Christians
Author: Herbert E. Hudson
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532634579
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
This book explores the relationship of clergy to Twelve Step programs. Field research of pastors in the Florida Keys found that they are unsure if addiction is a disease or a sin, and whether the Twelve Steps are based on Christianity. Lessons learned include the validity of both traditional Twelve Step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Christ-centered programs such as Celebrate Recovery, the coherence of sin and disease explanations of addiction, and the significance of modern addiction theory. The specific outcome of this study is the development of a course syllabus for clergy on addiction recovery through Twelve Step philosophy.

Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers
Author: John Owen

ISBN: 1773561502
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
A series of addresses focusing mainly on Romans 8, this work gives a well-grounded view on the way of sin in the life of a believer. This aspect of Christianity is often neglected and most people in the faith just accept it with blindly duty. The doctrine has wide ramifications in our theologies as it makes it evident to us how sin works in our lives and whether it should have any kind of hold on us.

Alcohol, Addiction and Christian Ethics
Author: Christopher C. H. Cook
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139454978
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Addictive disorders are characterised by a division of the will, in which the addict is attracted both by a desire to continue the addictive behaviour and also by a desire to stop it. Academic perspectives on this predicament usually come from clinical and scientific standpoints, with the 'moral model' rejected as outmoded. But Christian theology has a long history of thinking and writing on such problems and offers insights which are helpful to scientific and ethical reflection upon the nature of addiction. Chris Cook reviews Christian theological and ethical reflection upon the problems of alcohol use and misuse, from biblical times until the present day. Drawing particularly upon the writings of St Paul the Apostle and Augustine of Hippo, a critical theological model of addiction is developed. Alcohol dependence is also viewed in the broader ethical perspective of the use and misuse of alcohol within communities.
