Did Jesus Speak Greek: The Emerging Evidence of Greek Dominance in First-Century Palestine
ISBN: 9780227175484 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Did Jesus speak Greek? An affirmative answer to the question will no doubt challenge traditional presuppositions. The question relates directly to the historical preservation of Jesus s words and theology. Traditionally, the authenticity of Jesus s teaching has been linked to the recovery of the original Aramaic that presumably underlies the Gospels. The Aramaic Hypothesis infers that the Gospels represent theological expansions, religious propaganda, or blatant distortions of Jesus s teachings. Consequently, uncovering the original Aramaic of Jesus s teachings will separate the historical...

Rowland Broomhead 1751-1820. Apostle of the North
ISBN: 9780852448502 / Angielski / Miękka / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rowland Broomhead was born into a recusant Catholic family in Sheffield, but his life and work were to impact on the whole of the Northern Vicariate-which included Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, Cumberland, Westmoreland, Northumberland and Durham-and especially in the establishment of Ushaw College; hence a veritable 'Apostle of the North'. The recusant experience formed his early years and laid the rudiments of his faith, and he continued his schooling at Sedgley Park Hall, near Dudley, before moving on in 1765 to the Venerable English College in Rome, where he spent the next ten years. He...

ISBN: 9781498442831 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of Baptists worldwide is not so well known and if known is still often times confusing. Here is an attempt by a son of the Bahamas of the Baptist persuasion to bring information and stabilization to a confusing situation. In this work Bishop Josey takes us back to a time when to be Baptist was taboo and could cost your life or at the least cause your imprisonment. Then there is the question of its genesis. Where did Baptist come from generally and who were its originators? When it comes to the Bahamas did Baptist come from America or England? Is it possible to determine this; If so...

Engraved Upon the Heart
ISBN: 9781498220125 / Angielski / Miękka / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How does liturgy impact the formation of faith? The Protestant Church has traditionally emphasized human reason and doctrinal knowledge. But there is another method with great formative power--participation in liturgy. Human beings gain important knowledge not only through traditional, cognitively focused learning, but also through practice and participation. And because knowledge is wholistic, an inability to express an idea in language does not necessarily signify an absence of knowledge. This book shows how liturgy transmits knowledge that transcends human reason. We repeat the liturgy in...

Next to Luther himself, Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531) was probably the most important and certainly the most influential of the early Protestant reformers. His Commentary on True and False Religion, addressed to King Francis I of France and published by the printer Froschauer in Zurich in 1525, contrasted what Zwingli regarded as the true religion of the Protestants, grounded in Scripture, with the false religion of tradition and reason advocated by the opponents of the Reformation. In twenty-nine chapters Zwingli discussed all of the principal topics of Christian theology, from the meaning of...

The purging of Papua New Guinea's National Parliament House from witchcraft and ancestral spirits is not a myth The carvings on the totem pole and the carved lintels on the outside and inside the Parliament embody real persons.

The Founding of the Roman Catholic Church in Melanesia and Micronesia, 1850-1875

Description: The Founding of the Roman Catholic Church in Melanesia and Micronesia, 1850 to 1875 is the result of Father Ralph Wiltgen's years of archival work in Rome and at the headquarters of religious orders who worked in Micronesia and Melanesia. It follows his first historical book on the subject, The Founding of the Roman Catholic Church in Oceania: 1825 to 1850, but narrows the focus.

This book concentrates on Melanesia and Micronesia from 1850 to 1875, the period immediately before the work of...

Luther in English
ISBN: 9781498254366 / Angielski / Twarda / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Description: Recent studies have increasingly downplayed, and in a few cases even wholly denied, the influence of Martin Luther's theology of Law and Gospel on early English evangelicals such as William Tyndale. The impact of a late medieval Augustinian renaissance, Erasmian Humanism, the Reformed tradition, and Lollardy have all but eclipsed the more central role once attributed to Luther. Whiting reexamines these claims with a thorough reevaluation of Luther's theology of Law and Gospel in its historical context spanning twenty-five years, something entirely lacking in all previous studies....

Description: In light of the contemporary struggle between science and faith, Kathleen Mulhern's timely exploration of late nineteenth-century neo-Pascalian thought both recovers a lost perspective on the ""war between science and religion"" and offers a fruitful angle of study for twenty-first-century reflection. As the science vs. religion rancor reached its early fury at the turn of the century, many devout French Catholic intellectuals struggled with the increasingly dogmatic spirit in both the Roman Catholic Church and the scientific community. The dominant ideology of scientism within...

Religion, Gender, and Industry

Description: What part did religion play in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain? How did the local situation differ from the national picture? What was the role of women in society and the church? And how did the emerging centers of industrial activity interact with the places in which they sprung up? These are wide questions, but they can be seen in microcosm in one small area of the English midlands: the parish of Madeley, Shropshire, in which was the ""birthplace of the industrial revolution,"" Coalbrookdale. Here, the evangelical Methodist clergyman John Fletcher...

Description: By Bartholomew's Day, 24 August, 1662, all ministers and schoolmasters in England and Wales were required by the Act of Uniformity to have given their ""unfeigned assent and consent"" to the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. On theological grounds nearly two thousand ministers--approximately one fifth of the clergy of the Church of England--refused to comply and thereby forfeited their livings.
