Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can Christian theology confess God as both other than the world and also related to it in a way that compromises neither of these? Most modern thought has offered a simple reply: it cannot. Christ at the Crux analyzes one element of the roots of this denial and charts a route toward rapprochement. The Christologies of eight theologians offer various attempts to relate the Creator and the creature in Christ: Irenaeus of Lyon, Cyril of Alexandria, John Philoponus, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Zizioulas, Robert Jenson, and Colin Gunton. Within the patristic era the question is grounded in theology about the incarnation; with the Reformers the focus is on the mediation between creation and Creator; and with the three modern theologians the breadth of the issue is completed with theology proper. Together, these eight offer a grand-scale perspective on much of the christological possibilities for conceiving the relation between God and everything else. In the end Paul Cumin shows how the doctrine of the Trinity appears to open new possibilities for Christology and in particular for the way theology about the Spirit enables a reimagining of those items of Christian thought most likely at the roots of our modern rejection of God-as-other.

In this careful and scholarly work, John Murray (1898 - 1975), formerly Professor of Systematic Theology at Westminster Seminary, surveys the biblical evidence. He shows how the offer of Christ in the gospel demonstrates an ardent desire in the heart of God that all who hear should possess Christ and enjoy the salvation that is in him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians today celebrate many Religious ceremonies without having an understanding of what the ceremonies they celebrate entail.Were it not for a seasonal celebration of sort, many Christians could attend Church services for one whole year without listening to one single message on the death and resurrection of Christ which form the core of our Christian faith. Had Christ not died and resurrected, we will be exactly like any other religious sect or organization but alas, the empty tomb is there to prove that because he lives, we have hope that we too shall live."And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins" 1 Cor. 15:17After his death and resurrection, in order not to make known the manifestation of God's power, Matthew 28:12-15 state that money was given to the soldiers to scuttle the resurrection story but they failed! Till today, a lot of messages still go on even from several pulpits, with focus on money matters, relegating resurrection matters! This is an error. The resurrection story and the benefits of the resurrection ought to be on the forefront of all messages.This book exposes the benefits of the resurrection to everybody who will decide to believe and appropriate what Jesus has done.1. We have redemption through his blood."In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins" Colossians 1:142. As we bear witness like the Apostles, to his resurrection, the power of his resurrection manifests in our lives.3. The resurrection is our hope of eternal life.4. The resurrection shows us that there is no impossibility with God as he is the one that calls non existent things into existence and quickens or gives life to everything that may be dead even in our lives.5. The power of his resurrection is the greatest power in the universe. This power is backing us therefore, we have nothing to fear in any way.6.The resurrection has placed Christ far above principalities and powers. In him, we too have been placed far above principalities and powers. The implication is that we can no longer afford to cower under them in fear. When you are positionally above someone, they take orders from you not the other way round. You must continue to enforce your superior position over them and not allow them mess around your life.7.The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ resulted in his exaltation - he has the highest name in heaven, earth and beneath the earth."And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen" Matthew 28:18-20Jesus, the one who has the greatest name and the one to whom all power and authority in heaven, earth and beneath the earth belong to has sent us all on an assignment. He did not leave us alone; he says he is with us till the end of the world. What a benefit to know that you have the authority of the universe behind you. There is no limitation of any sort. By his death and resurrection, all authority given to us has been consolidated. You can make pronouncements and declarations in his name and see them come to pass. Hallelujah!8. "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil" 1 John 3:8He came to destroy the works of the devil and the devil himself. Every activity of satan stands destroyed in your life. You are now in charge, there is nothing to fear. Don't miss this book, buy your copy now!

Book excerpt: What was Jesus hoping to accomplish by laying down his life for his friends? And what has his death on the cross 2000 years ago got to do with us today? These are the questions CRUX answers, by re-examining the place of the story of the cross in the process of transformation. This book contends that the cross has the power to inspire a faith that can challenge the status quo and infuse our work for love and justice with infinite significance, and that the cross - and the unique critique, charisma, and catalyst it equips us with - is at the crux of any struggle for genuine personal, social, and political change. Dave Andrews has long been a voice of passion, grace and truth for those who seek to follow the radical way of the cross of Christ. These provocative essays exploring the story of the cross ought to become a highlight of his already brilliant writings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these essays to anyone questioning the meaning of the cross, those wanting to better understand the relevance of Jesus' death for kingdom mission today, or those who simply wish to be challenged and transformed by Jesus' revolutionary love.

Book excerpt: Man cannot live without love.... His life is senseless if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it. — John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis If you were asked what immediately comes to mind when you hear the words "Catholic Church", would you answer an intimate relationship with the God who loves me? If not, you would do well to read this engaging and thought-provoking book which explains why such a relationship is the reason for everything the Church does and teaches. Professor Edward Sri will show you how all the pieces of the Catholic faith, including the most baffling ones, fit together to make one beautiful mosaic of God's love for us and our own participation in that all-encompassing love. Using the Catechism of the Catholic Church as his itinerary, Sri will walk you through all the important aspects of the Catholic Church—what Catholics believe about God and the difference it should make in life. Along the way he addresses such often-heard questions as: Why do I need the Church—can't I be spiritual on my own? Isn't one religion just as good as another? How is the death of a man two thousand years ago relevant for my life today? Why does the Church talk so much about morality? Can't I make up my own morals? Is it really our responsibility to care for the poor— doesn't God help those who help themselves? Why do Catholics and Protestants disagree? Must Catholics worship Mary and always obey the pope? More than an intellectual enterprise, this work is also a deep spiritual reflection and a practical guide to living out our faith in Christ. It aims to form both the head and the heart, not only helping us to understand Jesus and his plan of salvation, but inspiring us to love God and our neighbor better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross stirs intense feelings among Christians as well as non-Christians. Robin Jensen takes readers on an intellectual and spiritual journey through the two-thousand-year evolution of the cross as an idea and an artifact, illuminating the controversies—along with the forms of devotion—this central symbol of Christianity inspires. Jesus’s death on the cross posed a dilemma for Saint Paul and the early Church fathers. Crucifixion was a humiliating form of execution reserved for slaves and criminals. How could their messiah and savior have been subjected to such an ignominious death? Wrestling with this paradox, they reimagined the cross as a triumphant expression of Christ’s sacrificial love and miraculous resurrection. Over time, the symbol’s transformation raised myriad doctrinal questions, particularly about the crucifix—the cross with the figure of Christ—and whether it should emphasize Jesus’s suffering or his glorification. How should Jesus’s body be depicted: alive or dead, naked or dressed? Should it be shown at all? Jensen’s wide-ranging study focuses on the cross in painting and literature, the quest for the “true cross” in Jerusalem, and the symbol’s role in conflicts from the Crusades to wars of colonial conquest. The Cross also reveals how Jews and Muslims viewed the most sacred of all Christian emblems and explains its role in public life in the West today.
