Book Description
Excerpt from Our Seven Churches I make no pretension to exhaustive detail in setting forth the characteristics of these churches. Possibly I may not have noticed their strongest points, their most attractive features. I have walked in them as in gardens of the Lord; their beauties have filled my eye, and the air is fragrant round about. All who profess and call themselves christian have surely more points of agreement than of disagreement. Every church that has main tained a separate denominational existence, by the mere fact of living proves that there is some thing in her that maintains her life. Every church can teach every other church something, and every church can learn. There are diversi ties of operations, but one Spirit, -many churches, but one religion.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Epistles of Our Lord the Seven Churches of Asia Publication is in these days not so rare an enterprise that one need be at pains to justify it in each instance. Without, therefore, attempting to analyse and explain the motives which may have prompted the issue of this little volume, I would, by it, invite the continued attention of those into whose hands it may come, to one of the richest portions of the Word of God. What they shall find in the following lectures is no more than may, in conformity with the present ideas of preaching, be delivered from our pulpits, a popular exhibition of the meaning of the text, and an application of the truth thus discovered to the various 'sorts and conditions' of men who come together in the pew.

Author: William Barclay Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press ISBN: 9780664223861 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 108
Book Description
William Barclay devotes two chapters to each of the seven churches addressed in the book of Revelation. One chapter characterizes the ancient city and the other comments on John's message to the members of that community. This reissue of an older Westminster Press title makes a welcome addition to the highly popular William Barclay Library series. The William Barclay Library is a collection of books addressing the great issues of the Christian faith. As one of the world's most widely read interpreters of the Bible and its meaning, William Barclay devoted his life to helping people become more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

Book Description
Excerpt from Our Seven Churches I do not find that the people whom I serve are any less content with our own faith and order because of my repeated efforts to show them that other churches excel us in some particulars. A good man's home is the more delightful to him as he calls to mind that the world is full of good homes, and that millions are as happy as he. Time was when "toleration" was reckoned a christian grace. Established churches tolerated (i.e. endured) dissenters as they would any other remediless evil or mysterious visitation. But in this land, where there is no privileged class nor established church, he who talks of tolerating his fellow-citizens insults them and becomes himself intolerable in his conceit. We must learn to respect and love our fellow-men and our sister churches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Author: Colin J. Hemer Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing ISBN: 0567319431 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 353
Book Description
With a new foreword by David E. Aune, this modern classic by Colin J. Hemer explores the seven letters in the book of Revelation against the historical background of the churches to which they were addressed. Based on literary, epigraphical, and archaeological sources and informed by Hemer's firsthand knowledge of the biblical sites, this superb study presents in the clearest way possible a picture of the New Testament world in the later part of the first century and its significance for broader questions of church history.

Book Description
Excerpt from What the Spirit Saith to the Churches It is in the spirit of humility and much uncertainty that this book is allowed to go for publication. I have a full consciousness of the weakness with which the subject has been handled, and a whole-hearted concern for what it may mean to the reader. There has been no attempt to startle the world by profoundness of thought, or to cover up the lack of such profoundness with flowery language and beautiful phraseology. Rather in plainness and simplicity of speech, I have sought to express truths that are well known, with the hope that they might be made more practical and might leave a deeper impression. The reader who is seeking the unusual, as well as the one who is searching for a literary treat, will be disappointed. The general theme is the product of a growing realization of the value of the Christian Church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia and Their Place in the Plan of the Apocalypse This book is a very imperfect essay towards the understanding of that synthesis, which now lies before us as a possibility of the immediate future. How imperfect it is has become clearer to the writer, as in the writing of it he came to comprehend better the nature of the Apocalypse.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Letters of St. Paul to Seven Churches and Three Friends: With the Letter to the Hebrews The Object of the present version of St. Paul's Letters is to set before English readers, not so much a translation in modern English, as one in which (i) the meaning Of the original shall not be obscured by the condensed liter ality of a word-for-word rendering such as is adopted in the Authorised and Revised Versions: (2) the connection of thoughts, the sequence of subjects, the continuity of the argument, shall, by the supply of the necessary links, be made throughout clear to the reader, without his having recourse to notes or a commentary.

Book Description
Excerpt from Commentary on the Epistles to the Seven Churches in Asia: Revelation II, III In this publication I at length accomplish, however imperfectly, a wish which I have cherished for a large number of years. During the time that I fulfilled my pleasant labours at King's College, I lectured three times to the theological students there on these seven Epistles; and the lectures to them delivered constitute the groundwork of the present volume, though much has been added, and some little changed, in the final revision which I have given to my work before venturing to challenge a larger audience for it. I confess that each time I have gone over these Epistles I have become more conscious of the manifold difficulties which they present; and more than once have been half disposed not to offer to others, in the way of interpretation of them, what has so little satisfied myself. I have not, however, held my hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
