Today's church suffers a crisis of confidence as a result of pluralism, globalism, and postmodernity. Seasoned New Testament scholar Graham Twelftree's historical exploration of Luke's view of the church contributes to the current conversation about what the church is and should do. Twelftree draws together various strands in Luke's Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles to show Luke's profound influence on the church and explain Luke's thought regarding the church's origin, nature, purpose, and mission. A final chapter proposes Lukan conclusions to such debated questions as the relationship between church and salvation; the relationship between the Spirit, water baptism, and glossolalia in Christian initiation; the question of infant baptism; the character of worship; the interplay of Scripture and experience; church structure and leadership; and the nature of Christian mission.

Science On The Trinity

'In science, it is well-articulated proposals that lead ultimately to conviction. What is true about the scientific understanding of the physical and biological world is also true of theology's quest for an understanding of God'. At the outset, Polkinghorne provides a helpful overview of the ways scientists approach and dialogue with theology. He then shows how modern physics shares with the Trinity many relationary elements, and notes the veiled nature of quantum reality. He also considers the scriptural element from a scientific perspective. A discussion of the central role of the Eucharist provides an experiential and human dimension.

This book assumes that everyone has a basic religious impulse, but that in England the Church has 'lost the hearts' of the English people. This did not happen suddenly and this book will examine what happened, and how the natural human response to religion can be rekindled. Questions and issues to be covered include: why religion still appears to be a natural response within certain parts of Europe; how did the English Reformation affect the religious sensibilities of the population; the Methodist revival of the 18th Century Evangelical and Tractarian revivals of the 19th Century Secularisation; and, how does one re-awaken a sacred view of the world.

Meeting Jesus

"Meeting Jesus" explores the nature of encounter with God through reflecting on four key parables at the heart of Luke's Gospel - the lost sheep, the lost coin, the prodigal son, and the dishonest steward. Being particularly rich in psychological content, these parables give a detailed picture of human response to God, while also portraying God's own yearning for his lost people. The fresh insights the authors offer are illustrated and considered from both a theological and a contemporary psychological perspective.

In The Heart Of The Temple

In The Heart Of The Temple

SPCK Publishing
2005
nidottu
Highly provocative and practical spiritual writing on today's most pressing issues The spiritual vision that emerges in this book is a spirituality of both action and contemplation. For to be at the heart of the temple without being in the heart of the world, the author believes, is at most only half a spiritual life. Rather we are required to see what is going on around us and to do everything we can to square it with the will of a loving God for the world God created. Both highly provocative and immensely practical, In the Heart of the Temple addresses today's most pressing questions, challenging readers of every religious and political persuasion to personal, spiritual, social and moral change.

Improvisation

Improvisation

Spck

SPCK Publishing
2004
nidottu
Christian ethics presented as an act of improvisation on the Bible Sam Wells sees Christian Ethics as a matter of 'faithfully improvising on the Christian tradition'. The Bible is not so much a script to rehearse, as it is a 'training school' that shapes the habits and practices of a community in action. The goal of Christian ethics is to teach Christians to 'embody their faith in the practices of discipleship at all times'. Drawing on scriptural narratives and church history, he details six practices that characterise both improvisation and Christian ethics, including categories such as 'forming habits', 'questioning givens' and 'reincorporating the lost'. He concludes with specific examples of ethical issues, such as facing evil and the perils and promises of genetically modified food. Well's fresh and imaginative discussion reinforces the goal of Christian ethics - not to 'help someone act Christianly in a crisis' but to teach Christians to 'embody their faith in the practices of discipleship all the time'.

In Search Of Paul

SPCK Publishing

A new vision of Paul's words and world Using new historical analysis and the latest archaeological discoveries, one of the world's eminent historical Jesus scholars and an expert in biblical archaeology spell out the top ten recent discoveries about the Apostle Paul. Did Paul invent Christianity? Did he reject Judaism and require that all Christians do so? Did he view all women as inferior to men and as second-class citizens? Did he accept the institution of slavery? Responding to these issues and many more, Crossan and Reed emphatically answer no and explain how Paul thought of himself as the thoroughly Jewish champion of the Jesus movement that expected the world to end imminently. The authors reveal how the historical Paul, like Jesus, focused on championing the kingdom of God - a world of justice and equality - against the dominant powers of the Roman world.

New Perspective On Jesus A

SPCK Publishing

Dunn brings into question the methodology and conclusions of various historical Jesus arguments. Jesus is controversial. For two millennia scholars and laity alike have discussed, debated, and fought about the life and teachings of Jesus and their relevance and impact. In this brief book, James Dunn argues that the various 'quests' for the historical Jesus have produced some odd and disparate results because they have started in the wrong place and with the wrong assumptions. Dunn suggests that future investigations of Jesus pay closer attention to the earliest Jesus traditions and what they tell us about the impact Jesus made on his first followers, about the way an oral culture might convey critical information, and about the characteristic qualities of Jesus that are pictured in a wide variety of sources. By challenging some of the basic approaches and presuppositions of Jesus studies, the author calls into question the methodology and the subsequent conclusions of scholars of all stripes.

As part of the research around the Faith and Life commission of the Church of England (which is a long term follow up to Faith in the City) people have been getting together to look at worship in an urban context. There are many people responsible for leading worship in urban contexts and few resources for this. In urban situations big questions arise and there is a growing awareness of the essential value of religious and spiritual capital. Contributors cover a wide range of church backgrounds and involvements in the urban church.
