As a result of their experience, New Testament Christians, in a variety of ways, found grace, or salvation from God, in Jesus. Our task must be to understand as deeply as possible the nature of the experience of these Christians in order to see how it is found -- and acted upon -- in our very different modern world.\n\nPublished in: New York\n\nPhysical description: 925 pages ; 24 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":7,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Christian mission in the modern world \/ John R.W.

In that debate, the interpretation of mission which is popular in some circles within the ecumenical movement differs acutely from that which has been held traditionally by many evangelicals. The way forward is for the two sides to meet together in a joint study of the Scripture, and to correct and enrich their own and others' understanding of mission by a deeper understanding of the biblical missionary theme and a fuller submission to it. Four adjectives describe this book: biblical, clear, fair, constructive. - Foreword.\n\nPublished in: Downers Grove, Ill.\n\nPhysical description: 128 pages ; 22 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":8,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Christian spirituality : five views of sanctification \/ edited by Donald Alexander ; with contributions by Sinclair B.

The doctrine of sanctification was one of the main fissures separating Luther from the Catholic Church. Even today different groups of Protestants disagree on how we draw closer to God. What distinguishes the different poisitions and what exactly is at stake in these recurring debates? To answer these questions Donald L. Alexander, professor of biblical theology at Bethel College, has brought together five scholars that represent each of the main historical Protestant traditions: * Gerhard O. Forde on the Lutheran vew * Sinclair B. Ferguson on the Reformed view * Laurence W. Wood on the Wesleyan view * Russell P. Spittler on the Pentecostal view * E. Glenn Hinson on the Contemplative view. With an introduction by Alexander and responses to each of the main essays by the other contributors, this book provides a helpful and stimulating introduction to an important doctrine of the church.\n\nPublished in: Downers Grove, Ill.\n\nPhysical description: 201 p. ; 21 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":9,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Church, why bother? : my personal pilgrimage \/ Philip Yancey ; foreword by Eugene H.
