Gonza\u0301lez.","author":"Gonza\u0301lez, J. L.","isbn":"0060633166","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Harper & Row"},"datePublished":"1984","inLanguage":"English","description":"Beginning with the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, this second volume of The Story of Christianity continues narrative history to the present. Historian Justo Gonzalez brings to life the people, dramatic events, and shaping ideas of Protestantism, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy during this period, keynoting crucial theological developments while providing fresh understanding of the social, political, and economic forces that influenced the formation of the church. In particular, the author notes recurring themes of unrest, rebellion, and reformation. Gonzalez presents an illuminating record of the lives, impelling ideas, and achievements of such prominent figures as Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Calvin--movers and shapers in the emerging Protestant church. His biographical insights, in conjunction with vivid historical accounts, reveal how individual lives mirror and clarify core theological concerns and developments. The interpretive overview of The Story ofChristianity includes a thorough and timely analysis of the growth and maturation of Christianity, including events in Europe, the United States, and Latin America--the latter an area too often neglected in church histories, yet increasingly vital to an understanding of Christianity's historical development, present situation, and future, options. Gonzalez's richly textured study discusses the changes and directions of the church in the traditions of Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, and Eastern Christianity. The Story of Christianity covers such recent occurrences as the World Council of Churches, the Second Vatican Council, the movement toward Christian unity, and much more. It concludes with a thoughtful look at the major issues and debates involving Christians today.\n\nPublished in: San Francisco\n\nPhysical description: xii, 414 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.","bookEdition":"1st ed. ; v. 2.","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":7,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The Cambridge history of the Bible.","author":"Ackroyd, Peter R.","isbn":"0521074185","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":": Cambridge University Press"},"datePublished":"1969","inLanguage":"English","description":"v. 1.

The West, from the Reformation to the present day \/ edited by S.L. Greenslade. \r\n \tAbstract\tVolume 1 of the Cambridge History of the Bible concerns the earliest period down to Jerome and takes as its central theme the process by which the books of both Testaments came into being and emerged as a canon of scripture, and the use of canonical writings in the early church. Volume 2 of the Cambridge History treats the Bible as a central document of Western civilization, a source of exegesis and of doctrine, an influence on education, on the growth of scholarship, on art and literature, as well as on the liturgy and the life of the Christian church and its members. This volume commences the study of the Bible in the West. It begins with Jerome and the Fathers and goes on to the time of Erasmus. Introductory chapters look back and rapidly survey the growth of the biblical canon in the pre-Christian period and the early church, and early Christian book-production. The central portion of the volume discusses exposition and exegesis of the Scriptures: in the hands of the Fathers, in the Medieval Schools, in the Liturgy and in the tradition of medieval Jewish scholarship. The permeation of European culture by the Scriptures is illustrated by themes in art and manuscript illustration, and by separate sections on each of the main vernacular languages, giving special attention to English. Each chapter is written by a scholar and expert on the subject, who summarizes existing knowledge and, in many cases, advances it by reporting his own research. Volume 3 covers the effects of the Bible on the history of the West between the Reformation and the publication of the New English Bible\n\nPublished in: NEWYORK\n\nPhysical description: 3 volumes : illustrations, facsimiles ; 24 cm","bookEdition":"Vol. 2","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":8,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The Christ-centered marriage : discovering and enjoying your freedom in Christ together \/ Neil T.

In a cultural climate where the very word church sounds a tone of dull irrelevance, the doctrine of the church has suffered studied neglect. The persistent demands to market and grow the church threaten to quench serious theological reflection on its abiding nature and mission. But few activities bear greater promise for renewing and reshaping the church than the work of theology. Edmund Clowney addresses these issues from decades of thinking and teaching.
