Getting the Gospel Right
Author: R. C. SproulPublisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 144123151X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Unity in the gospel is essential to the witness of the church. Yet that unity was tested by the release of two documents, Evangelicals and Catholics Together and The Gift of Salvation, which appeared to surrender the historic doctrine of sola fide (faith alone). In response, Christian leaders released a statement called The Gospel of Jesus Christ: An Evangelical Celebration. Getting the Gospel Right, a companion to Sproul's popular Faith Alone, contains the complete text of that statement along with thorough, point-by-point discussion and exposition, to make a strong declaration of the abiding unity of evangelicals regarding the gospel and justification by faith alone.

Book Description
It's been said that, "an historian making a list of the factors most influential in the development of western civilization would do well to include Paul's Epistle to the Romans along with the invention of gun powder, the rise of nationalism, and the discovery of atomic energy." While in today's secularized society, few would likely agree to the above assessment, in terms of legitimate historical impact the importance of Paul's letter can't be overstated. From the Church Fathers to Augustine and Reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin, the influence of this ancient letter can't be overstated. As recent as Karl Barth's commentary in the 19th century, humanity's most significant conversations have touched on the ideas and wisdom of the Apostle Paul. A man who essentially elaborated on what he had learned from Jesus and His disciples.

Paul's Letter to the Romans
Author: Colin G. KrusePublisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467435759
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 673
Book Description
Paul's Letter to the Romans may well be the most influential book in Christian history. In this Romans commentary Colin Kruse shows how Paul expounds the gospel against the background of God's sovereign action as creator, judge, and redeemer of the world. Valuable "additional notes" on important theological themes and difficult texts -- such as Paul's discussion of same-sex relationships, the salvation of "all Israel," and the woman Junia, who was "well known among the apostles" -- further connect Romans to contemporary issues. Throughout his commentary Kruse expertly guides readers through the plethora of interpretations of Romans, providing a reliable exposition of this foundational epistle.

Spiritual Exercises Based on Paul's Epistle to the Romans
Author: Joseph A. FitzmyerPublisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802826732
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Paul's letter to the Romans is often regarded as the most profoundly doctrinal book in the Bible. While not overlooking its complex theology, Joseph Fitzmyer here shows Romans to be also a wellspring of devotional insight, accessible and deeply rewarding to all Christians. In this book Fitzmyer recasts the text of Romans into the form of meditations for devotional reflection in spiritual retreats, Bible studies, church classrooms, small groups, and other prayerful gatherings. Styled after the famous Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, the book includes twenty-four meditations that can be divided in a variety of ways and fit to a range of reading schedules. Accompanying each meditation are questions to encourage reflection on the passage of Romans being considered and also a colloquy in the form of a psalm or New Testament hymn that matches the sentiment of the Pauline passage. A truly fulfilling approach to spirituality, Fitzmyer's Spiritual Exercises demonstrates the role of Scripture in properly ordering the Christian life.
