Writing in the middle of the twentieth century, G.W. Bromiley was acutely aware of the renewal of debates surrounding baptism taking place within the Anglican church and elsewhere. These debates, which are still the cause of denominational division, can be best understood by tracing them back to their origins in the sixteenth century. Analysing the Anglican Reformers views on baptisms sacramental status, its liturgical format and its theological substance, Bromiley places the current diversity of positions in its proper context. The legitimacy of infant baptism, the authority of ministers and the efficacy of grace are all discussed. Whether a scholar of ecclesiological and doctrinal history, or of the current debate within and between churches, this study is essential reading on the question of baptism past and present.

Pennington gives detailed advice for employing all 3 reading modes, equipping readers to gain wisdom and know God better.Comprehensive: Explores 3 approaches to studying Scriptureinformational, theological, and transformationaland includes exercises to practice each Enhances Personal or Group Bible Study: Helps readers engage in deeper communion with God by purposefully journeying through his word Ideal for Pastors, Seminary Students, and Laypeople: With an engaging, conversational style, Pennington teaches deep truths about knowing God and interpreting Scripture

Williamson analisa o conceito de aliança nas Escrituras e o seu significado. Depois ele define a ideia de aliança no contexto do propósito universal de Deus, e traça a ideia através de Noé e os patriarcas, a naço de Israel e o reinado de Davi. Por fim, ele mostra como a nova aliança e aguardada no Antigo Testamento e cumprida no Novo Testamento. Williamson oferece novos insights sobre textos-chave e questes relacionadas ao tema da aliança. Ele no tem medo de desafiar posiçes estabelecidas. Um exemplo e sua abordagem de aliança dupla ao tratamento de Deus com Abrao. Sua obra sera apreciada por academicos, professores e estudantes em teologia, ministros e todos que tem um interesse serio no conceito de aliança."Poucos leitores no aprendero muito (...) e poucos no apreciaro a firme, mas respeitosa maneira como o Dr. Williamson discorda de seus parceiros de dialogo. E talvez alguns daqueles que so muito gratos a exegese atomistica, incapazes para ver como a Biblia esta unida, vislumbraro um pouco da abrangencia e plenitude da auto-revelaço de Deus nas Escrituras, e vero que sua adoraço ao Deus da aliança foi aprimorada ."

Waren die Apostel die Vorlaufer der heutigen Influencer? Ihre Prasenz konnten sie zwar nicht in sozialen Netzwerken nutzen, aber auch sie ubten durch ihre Bekanntheit starken Einfluss aus. Auch zu unseren heutigen Emojis finden sich Vorlaufer, so nutzten die fruhen Christen den Fisch als Symbol zur Verstandigung. Nichts liegt daher naher, als sich mit der Frage zu beschaftigen, wie sich fortschrittliche Technik und Glaube produktiv verbinden lassen.

Morte na Cidade foi o terceiro livro a ser escrito por Schaeffer e é essencial para o entendimento de seu pensamento. Escrito no contexto da contracultura dos anos 60, seu toque é profético e sensível a este começo de milenio, na medida em que aborda as mesmas preocupaçes pessoais, morais, espirituais e intelectuais de nossos dias, e na medida em que os efeitos prenunciados pelo autor para o pensamento e o estilo de vida da sua epoca so fartamente comprovados hoje. A morte moral e espiritual sufoca a verdade, o significado e a beleza da cidade e da cultura em geral. (Claudio Marra, do Prefacio)
