Jesus Christ for Today's World
Author: Jürgen Moltmann
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 9781451411997
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
J rgen Moltmann formulates necessary questions about the significance of Jesus the Christ for persons today. He offers a compelling portrait of the earthly Jesus as the divine brother in our distress and suffering and points to the risen Christ as the warrant for the "future in which God will restore everything . . . and gather everything into his kingdom." Urging that acknowledgment of Christ and discipleship are two sides of the same coin, Moltmann contends that the question of Jesus Christ for today is not just an intellectual one. Moltmann takes fresh approaches to a number of crucial topics: Jesus and the kingdom of God, the passion of Christ and the pain of God, Jesus as brother of the tortured, and the resurrection of Christ as hope for the world, the cosmic Christ, Jesus in Jewish- Christian dialogue, the future of God, and others.

How Christ Changed the World
Author: Luigi Civardi
Publisher: Tan Books & Pub
ISBN: 9780895554437
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
In "How Christ Changed the World--the Social Principles of the Catholic Church", Msgr. Luigi Civardi, the foremost name in the great Catholic Action movement, describes briefly just what sort of changes Our Lord and His Faith have made, most of which people today merely take for granted. The religion of Jesus Christ eventually put an end to slavery, elevated women to equality with men, ennobled children, established the sanctity of marriage and its unity and indissolubility, elevated the workman and gave dignity to manual labor. This book makes it clear that Christ redeemed mankind, not only spiritually, to enjoy forever eternal life with Him and the Heavenly Father, but He redeemed and transformed man's life in this world as well.

All Things Made New
Author: Stratford Caldecott
Publisher: Angelico Press
ISBN: 9781597311298
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
All Things Made New explores the Christian mysteries in the tradition of St. John the Evangelist, and Mary, the Mother of Jesus, by studying the symbolism, cosmology, and meaning of the Book of Revelation, as well as the prayers and meditations of the Rosary, including the Apostles' Creed and the Our Father. These reflections lead us step by step to the foot of the Cross, and to the Wedding Feast of the Lamb, where all things are made new. "A lucid and thoughtful exposition of what is, by any standards, an extraordinarily dense and difficult book. Caldecott explains that the Apocalypse 'has to be received into the soul'; indeed, it is intensely relevant to our own times. His book is both rich in knowledge and rewarding to read." - Francis Phillips, Catholic Herald "The time may be right for just such a book as this, which takes seriously both the book of Revelation and the richness of the 'Here comes everybody' that is Catholic culture, which has a lively message to address to our bruised and battered world today." - Nicholas King, The Tablet "All Things Made New is a serious book about the most serious of things, the mysteries of faith, which all of us should encounter frequently and grasp ever more deeply. A book that will leave the reader wiser, holier, and both ready to practice the faith and eager to share it." - Fr. C. John McCloskey, National Catholic Register

Above All Earthly Pow'rs

ISBN: 0802824552
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
In this prophetic call to the evangelical church, Wells stresses that Christians need to confess Christ as the center in a society lacking a center, as the sovereign in a world seemingly ruled by chance, and as the one who can give meaning in a nihilistic culture.

Who Can Be Saved?
Author: Terrance L. Tiessen
Publisher: InterVarsity Press
ISBN: 9780830877706
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
Throughout history millions have lived and died without hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Despite vigorous missionary efforts, large populations of the world today have never been evangelized. And now religious pluralism has set up shop on Main Street. The question "Who can be saved?" forces itself on the minds of Christians like never before. Is there a wideness in God's mercy? Does God reveal himself in a way that invites all people to respond positively in saving faith? Does one have to be an Arminian to believe so? Or is there a way for Calvinists to see how God might reveal and save apart from the explicit "gospel" and yet exclusively through Jesus Christ? And if so, what does this say about the role of religions within the sovereign providence of God? These are big questions requiring thoughtful care. In this intriguing study, Terrance L. Tiessen reassesses the questions of salvation and the role of religions and offers a proposal that is biblically rooted, theologically articulated and missiologically sensitive. This is a book that will set new terms for the discussion of these important issues.
