Book Description
Baptism is a foundational rite and sacrament of the church. Over the centuries, the significance of baptism for Christian life and faith has been confirmed by the church, but baptism remains a highly controversial topic. Numerous disagreements exist between denominations and faith traditions—including the various descendants of the original Methodist movement—over the doctrine and practice of baptism. Who can be baptized? Why is baptism done? What does the rite mean? New Life in the Risen Christ: A Wesleyan Theology of Baptism seeks to address confusion over baptism and offer a coherent treatment of the sacrament from a Wesleyan theological perspective. Distinguished scholars from around the world are brought together in this volume to examine the writings of John Wesley and offer scholarly reflections on topics related to the sacrament of baptism. Their work is an invitation to remember and be thankful for baptism as the sign of divine grace that initiates Christians into a new reality: life in the risen Christ.

Book Description
A theological, historical, and practical look at baptism for Christian life and spirituality. Baptism is a foundational rite and sacrament of the Christian faith. While over the centuries the significance of baptism for Christian life and spirituality has continued to be confirmed by the Church, baptism remains a highly controversial topic. Numerous disagreements exist among church denominations, including the various descendants of the original Methodist movement, over the doctrine and practice of baptism. Since much disagreement and, therefore, much confusion exists among Wesleyans on the subject of baptism, the purpose for assembling the book is to provide a coherent treatment of the sacrament of baptism from a Wesleyan perspective. In the volume, prominent Wesleyan scholars address theological, historical, and practical topics designed to help recover a robust understanding of baptism for Christian life and spirituality. In particular, authors will interact with Charles and John Wesley's work, especially John Wesley's "A Treatise on Baptism" as well as subsequent Wesleyans, to address the nature, benefits, manner, and proper recipients of baptism.

Book Description
Jesus truly is alive today. But compared to his atoning death, Jesus' resurrection sparks relatively little discussion in the church. Inadvertently,we can become so focused on the good news that Christ died for our sins, that we almost forget he was "raised for our justification" (Romans 4:25). In Raised with Christ, author Adrian Warnock exhorts Christians not to neglect the resurrection in their teaching and experience. Warnock takes his cue from Acts, where every recorded sermon focuses on Jesus' resurrection. He stresses that Christians who faithfully proclaim both the death and the bodily resurrection of Jesus, and live out the implications of that message in vibrant,grace-filled churches, will be enabled to reach a world that lives in death's dark shadow. The power of the risen Christ is active in every true Christian, transforming our lives. Raised with Christ will help you discover afresh the massive implications of the empty tomb. Jesus' resurrection really has changed everything.
Author: Michel Quoist Publisher: Galilee Trade ISBN: 0385094841 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 169
Book Description
Michel Quoist's method, he says, is to live and to observe how others live, and then to reflect on what is seen and learned. "I wish to write nothing but what has been lived." Today's Christian cannot live as the Christian lived yesterday. He must find a new form of life. His spirituality cannot be that which was formed for monks, but must come out of his living in the world, where he encounters God in his everyday life. Father Quoist makes frequent reference to the laity as important in the development of this new life.

Author: Frank J. Matera Publisher: Liturgical Press ISBN: 0814648622 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 160
Book Description
At the heart of the Christian message stands the proclamation of the resurrection: the good news that God raised Jesus from the dead. In Resurrection: The Origin and Goal of the Christian Life, Frank Matera explains why the resurrection was so important to the early church and why it remains important for Christians today. Beginning with the gospels, then moving to the Acts of the Apostles, the Pauline Epistles, and concluding with Hebrews, 1 Peter, 1 John, and the book of Revelation, Matera provides a comprehensive overview of how the different writings of the New Testament proclaimed the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Written in a clear and accessible manner, Matera presents readers with a way to understand the central message of the New Testament and of Christian faith: God raised Jesus from the dead. Building on this message, he shows that the resurrection of Jesus enables and empowers believers to live in the world today and provides them with the assurance that God will raise them from the dead as well.
