Showing results for "Salvation" in Ethics

The great fourth-century church father Basil of Caesarea once observed that, in his time, most Christians believed that hell was not everlasting, and that all would eventually attain salvation. But today, this view is no longer prevalent within Christian communities. In this momentous book, David Bentley Hart makes the case that nearly two millennia of dogmatic tradition have misled readers on the crucial matter of universal salvation.

Secular models of peacemaking are insufficient. And the church has not always fulfilled its call to be agents of reconciliation in the world. In Reconciling All Things, Emmanuel Katongole and Chris Rice cast a comprehensive vision for reconciliation that is biblical, transformative, holistic, and global. They draw on the resources of the Christian story, including their own individual experiences in Uganda and Mississippi, to bring solid, theological reflection to bear on the work of reconciling individuals, groups, and societies.

Il est fréquent d’entendre les gens parler de santé, de richesse et de prospérité comme étant des signes de la bénédiction de Dieu. Cependant, Jésus a dit que ce sont les pauvres, les persécutés et les personnes qui souffrent qui sont bénis. Dans ce petit livre, R. C.

Il utilise les célèbres paroles prononcées par Jésus au début du sermon sur la montagne pour expliquer que la vraie bénédiction n’est possible qu’en saisissant la grâce de Dieu en Jésus-Christ.

This substantive collection from noted scholar Serene Jones explores recent work in the field of trauma studies. Central to its overall theme is an investigation of how individual and collective violence affect one's capacity to remember, to act, and to love; how violence can challenge theological understandings of grace; and even how the traumatic experience of Jesus's death is remembered.
