ISBN: 9783639133585 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Each person, whether religious or not, has a
worldview. This fact leads to inevitable differences and to the issue of worldview analysis. For Christians, it is vital to realize that apologetics must occur at the worldview level. Among Evangelicals, there are two prominent methodologies of worldview analysis: transcendental and abductive. Both methodologies point to universal human phenomena such as morality and rationality in their approach. While abductive proponents argue that the Christian worldview is the best explanation for such phenomena, transcendental proponents make the stronger... Each person, whether religious or not, has a

cant be taken for granted so a definition of terms is necessary for dialogue both within and between groups. The concept of "church" is common in the New Testament but what exactly does it mean? The Bible, in part, uses metaphors to describe "church", one of which is "temple of God". However, modern society is unfamiliar with the concept of "temple" and so its meaning and impact is lost. This book analyses a selection of the writings of the Apostle Paul who uses this particular metaphor to instruct believers. Five passages are... In todays multi-faith society faith traditions

This book examines the practice of confirmation in the post-communist context of Slovakia and the Slovak Lutheran Church during 1993-2003. It proposes a fresh approach to the theory and practice of confirmation for churches that find themselves surrounded by new political, cultural, and spiritual realities.

The 1541 Colloquy at Regensburg
ISBN: 9783639185126 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The world may have been a very different place had the 1541 Colloquy at Regensburg reunified the church. That effort nearly succeeded when agreement was reached on justification, but heated discussion on church authority and the Mass left the church more deeply divided than ever. Nearly five centuries later, strikingly similar language appeared in a modern statement on justification. The modern agreement, hailed as a milestone of ecumenism for Lutherans and Roman Catholics, shows strong parallels with the fifth article on justification in the Regensburg Book. A clear understanding of the...

Towards a 4-Ships Driven Culture - Revitalizing a small urban church
ISBN: 9783639206982 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Like many urban churches in the 1950s, SCEMC believed: "If we built it, they will come." In 30 years, it grew to over 200 members with multiple staff, vibrant services and a church bus. Then it lost momentum. In 2002, there were not enough skilled people to run the churchs board. Attendance dropped below 35 and annual budget fell below $45K. SCEMC was struggling to survive. This paper introduces a strategy advocating authentic practices of God-centered worship, Lord- honoring stewardship, loving fellowship and evangelism-oriented discipleship. It will trace and present an analysis...

Learning the Grammar of an Ecumenical Faith
ISBN: 9783639201796 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We live in critical times, in which many have argued that the church is no longer relevant, or must be modified to meet the expressed or felt needs of those labeled "seekers," seeking alternate forms of spirituality. This same environment is pregnant with opportunities for the church to gain even greater clarity on who and why she is and what she is fundamentally about. The church is presently situated to reclaim the richness of a biblical and theological heritage with a proven historical record for meeting, not merely the "felt" but, the deepest needs of the human heart, mind, soul, and...

A Strategy and Model for Early Adolescent Ministry in a Church
ISBN: 9783639207019 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite early adolescence being around for decades, ministry to this demographic of students is actually not getting the attention of the children before them or middle adolescents following them. My purpose is to create an awareness of the need for intentional and theological thinking with regards to early adolescent ministry in the context of a local congregation. Churches must be intentional at reaching students from the very beginning of their adolescent development. This is the driving idea behind the thesis: Congregations must think theologically and developmentally in order...
