Institutes of the Christian Religion is John Calvin's seminal work on Protestant systematic theology. Highly influential in the Western world and still widely read by theological students today, it was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541. The book serves as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some previous knowledge of theology and covers a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty.

Apenas somos conscientes de cómo la reforma protestante ha influido en nuestras vidas. Tras el atormentado antihéroe de las películas americanas, la autoimposición de la felicidad como un deber absoluto, la necesidad imperiosa de un triunfo profesional o las angustias de la soledad y el individualismo que nos abaten, podemos descubrir los ecos de una nueva antropología que trajo la Reforma protestante. La eclosión espiritual que implicó, llevó a innumerables grupos y congregaciones a buscar la pureza espiritual pero reflejada una moral y control público que hoy nos asustaría.

A soma de quase todo nosso conhecimento - que se deve julgar de fato como verdadeiro e sólido conhecimento - se compõe de duas partes: O conhecimento de Deus e o conhecimento de nós mesmos. Como, porém, essas duas formas de conhecimento se entrelaçam com muitos elos, não é fácil, entretanto, discernir qual delesvem primeiro e dá origem ao outro. Por outro lado, é notório que o homem jamais chega ao puro conhecimento de si mesmo, se antes não contemplar a face de Deus e, da visão de Deus, descer ao exame de si mesmo.

The most profound characteristic of Western Europe in the Middle Ages was its cultural and religious unity, a unity secured by a common alignment with the Pope in Rome and a common language - Latin - for worship and scholarship. The Reformation shattered that unity, and the consequences are still with us today.

A marca mais impressionante de Calvino, no seu comentário a 2 Coríntios, é a de pastor. Ele, com humildade e firmeza, se identifica com Paulo, tanto na agudeza dos espinhos, para maior experiência da graça que lhe bastava, quanto à alegria do triunfo a que Deus lhe conduzia para melhor exaltar a fragrância de Cristo.

In Baptists in America, Thomas S. Kidd and Barry Hankins explore the long-running tensions between church, state, and culture that Baptists have shaped and navigated. Despite the moment of unity that their early persecution provided, their history has been marked by internal battles and schisms that were microcosms of national events, from the conflict over slavery that divided North from South to the conservative revolution of the 1970s and '80s.

In this definitive and long-awaited biography, Jonathan Edwards emerges as both a great American and a brilliant Christian. George Marsden evokes the world of colonial New England in which Edwards was reared - a frontier civilization at the center of a conflict between Native Americans, French Catholics, and English Protestants. Drawing on newly available sources, Marsden demonstrates how these cultural and religious battles shaped Edwards' life and thought.

Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian evangelist and biblical scholar who was known for his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings in an era dominated by opposing theological traditions. Pink was one of the most influential evangelical authors in the second half of the 20th century. Pink's beliefs and teachings were largely Calvinist- and Puritan-based. Pink clearly brings us a scriptural analysis of what to expect from the second coming of Christ in a truly thought provoking book.

CHEGA DE FÉ DE OCASIÃO! Infelizmente temos vivido um tempo de fé superficial, repleta de ritos, sem paixão e sem uma experiência verdadeira com Deus. A "velocidade" dos dias atuais esvazia nosso relacionamento com o Pai, nos distanciando da Verdade. Muitas vezes, escolhemos crer apenas naquilo que nos convém, com base em necessidades pessoais e materiais. Vivemos em busca de milagres e bênçãos, mas não alimentamos e desenvolvemos nossa espiritualidade.
