Johann Arndt

Johann Arndt (1555–1621) är förmodligen den mest inflytelserika förkunnaren och teologen i det lutherska fromhetslivet efter Martin Luther. Mot den allt mer förstenade lutherska orto­doxin framträdde Arndt med en förkunnelse som betonar förhållandet mellan tro och liv, mystikens innerlighet och kyrkans lära. Hans böcker om den sanna kristendomen är några av de mest spridda uppbyggelseböckerna i världen. Böckerna har utkommit i en mängd upplagor i vårt land, från 1647–1992 och Nordisk familjebok beskriver Arndt som en av det svenska folkets älsklingsförfattare under mer än 250 år . Denna del tre av Den sanna kristendomen, Om den inre människan handlar just om hjärtats skatt: Gud, Kristus, den helige Ande och Guds rike inneboende i den kristne.

Denna del ett av Den sanna kristendomen, Om att förnyas efter Guds avbild handlar om hur gudslikheten skall återställas i människan genom att den gamla människan dagligen förminskas och dör och hur Kristus uppstår och allt mer lever i den kristnes liv.

This adaptation of Johann Arndt's True Christianity is a powerful and eye-opening insight into the early Protestant faith. First published in 1605, True Christianity became, after the Bible, the most widely read and influential book in Protestantism in its day and was translated into thirty different languages. It systematically explains the basic principles of the redemption of man using simple logic and vivid language free from clich s. Beginning at the garden of Eden, it reveals: the effects of the Fall; the reason for the incarnation and suffering of Christ; the work of the Holy Spirit; the operation of God's grace; and what it means to be a true disciple of Christ. It captures the faith and original spirit of Christianity, not as a set of theological assertions or doctrines to be believed, but as a deep and living experience. Its fervent call to true Godliness has guided untold thousands of wandering sheep to the heavenly fold. If you are also lost in the confusing and contradictory darkness of modern religion, this book will inspire you with the "faith once delivered to the saints." The faith that today has largely faded into the mists of time; its once-vibrant essence now reduced to a faint whisper, displaced by theological, humanistic and psychological progressivism.This work is abridged and restructured, in modern English, from Charles F. Schaeffer's 1868 revision of Rev. A. W. Boehm's (1712) English translation, of True Christianity with some additional explanatory material.
