Acclaimed author Gregory Riley embarks on a remarkable journey in this readable and persuasive account of the origins of Christianity.

The Church Faces Death : Ecclesiology in a Post-Modern Context
ISBN: 9780195128406 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ecclesiology (the theology of the church) is a neglected topic in contemporary theology. At a time when the institutional churches are experiencing dramatic decline, says Michael Jinkins, we need a new understanding of what the church is. In this work, Jinkins challenges the church to rediscover its vocation, to follow Jesus Christ even at the risk of its institutional survival. In the face of a variety of perceived threats to its future, he reminds us that the church is most alive and attractive when it forgets about itself and its safety. The ecclesiology Jinkins puts forward is born from a...

Avery Dulles, well-known for several previous works in ecclesiology, including Models of the Church, here surveys a theme that demands new treatment in the present global and ecumenical context.

This book investigates the historical use of the word and the various aspects of catholicity.

ISBN: 9780226204901 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Religious traditions provide the stories and rituals that define the core values of church members. Yet modern life in America can make those customs seem undesirable, even impractical. As a result, many congregations refashion church traditions so they may remain powerful and salient. How do these transformations occur? How do clergy and worshipers negotiate which aspects should be preserved or discarded? Religious traditions provide the stories and rituals that define the core values of church members.

Finding the Voice of the Church
ISBN: 9780268037277 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. O'Brien begins with the primary voice of the Church: baptism, gospel, and Eucharist. He contends that too much official teaching from the Roman "magisterium" to the local pulpit reverses the order of the ancient formula "lex orandi, lex credendi" (the law of prayer is the law of faith) and therefore misses its message. In the second part of the book, he turns to specific consideration of the papal voice as the teaching voice of the Church. O'Brien concludes with a series of practical suggestions for how the practices and institutions of the Church can again become the authentic voice of...

In this study, Ramsay MacMullen steps aside from the well-worn path that previous scholars have trod to explore exactly how early Christian doctrines became official.

City of God, City of Satan : A Biblical Theology of the Urban City
ISBN: 9780310531418 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why is the city a battleground of hostile principalities and powers? What is the mission of the church in the city? How can the church be supported in accomplishing that mission? These are the questions that Robert Linthicum treats in his comprehensive and probing biblical theology of the city. In the Bible the city is depicted both as a dwelling place of God and his people and as a center of power for Satan and his minions. The city is one primary stage on which the drama of salvation is played out. And that is no less the case at the end of this pivotal century as megacities become the...

Nicholas of Cusa: The Catholic Concordance
ISBN: 9780521402071 / Angielski / Twarda / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the first English translation of the most important work of political thought of the fifteenth century. The Catholic Concordance is the first major treatise to argue for consent through representative councils as a major prerequisite for legitimate law and government, and is the most learned and original work associated with the conciliar movement in the late medieval church. Cusa's arguments influenced such thinkers as Luther, Bruno and Locke, and Professor Sigmund's introduction places his work in its full historical and philosophical context.

Problems of Authority in the Reformation Debates
ISBN: 9780521416863 / Angielski / Twarda / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the Reformation period many of the fiercest debates centered on the nature of authority. These covered every aspect of Christian faith and life. The authority of scripture; the authority on which disputed points of faith and order could be decided; the authorizing of ministry in the Church; the efficacy of the sacraments, were all contested. Such issues are shown by the author of this study to remain ecumenically significant, both because it proved impossible at the time to resolve them to everyone's satisfaction, and because they continued to represent the focus of mutual hostility...

Church, World and the Christian Life : Practical-Prophetic Ecclesiology
ISBN: 9780521781381 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Modern ecclesiology is too concerned with the ideal church, and pays too little attention to its sinful everyday life. Pluralism and postmodernism are discussed, and the argument made that well-meaning attempts to affirm non-Christian religions make it difficult for them or the church to argue that its convictions are true. The book shows that one can talk about the church and other religious communities in ways that acknowledge their uniqueness and truth claims, but also their problems and mistakes. New disciplines are proposed: theological history, theological sociology and ecclesiological...

The Church and the Churches : Toward an Ecumenical Ecclesiology
ISBN: 9780521891608 / Angielski / Miękka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Many of the questions individual churches are asking today about their relationship to one another and the goal of unity among them have a very long history. This book tells the story of the way these questions have arisen and discusses why they can be so hard to answer in modern times. The author asks what we mean by "a church" and how different Christian bodies have understood the way "a church" is related to "the Church." The concept of "communion" is discussed, which looks ecumenically hopeful as a guide to the way forward.
