ISBN: 9780802848000 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout history the church has been composed of two types of people--those who -do- ministry and those to whom it is -done.- In this provocative book R.

Exploring the theological, structural, and cultural reasons for treating laypeople as the objects of ministry, Stevens argues against the idea of clericalism. All Christians are called to live in faith, hope, and love, and to do God's work in the church and world. This...

Ethical Dimensions of the Prophets
ISBN: 9780814659830 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Do the Old Testaments prophets have a stake in modern ethics?

Hosea accused Israel of "harlotry" for worshipping false gods. And Amos railed about the God's wrath because Israel failed to behave compassionately toward the weak and the poor. Jensen wants readers to hear the prophets in their own terms as they...
