The Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing by Jonathan T. Pennington Pdf
The Sermon on the Mount, one of the most influential portions of the Bible, is the most studied and commented upon portion of the Christian Scriptures. Every Christian generation turns to it for insight and guidance. In this volume, a recognized expert on the Gospels shows that the Sermon on the Mount offers a clear window into understanding God's work in Christ. Jonathan Pennington provides a historical, theological, and literary commentary on the Sermon and explains how this text offers insight into God's plan for human flourishing. As Pennington explores the literary dimensions and theological themes of this famous passage, he situates the Sermon in dialogue with the Jewish and Greek virtue traditions and the philosophical-theological question of human flourishing. He also relates the Sermon's theological themes to contemporary issues such as ethics, philosophy, and economics.
The thought of preaching or teaching on the book of Revelation can be extremely daunting. Compared to the straightforward narrative of the Gospels or the New Testament letters, Revelation seems confusing to understand and difficult or even impossible to apply to a particular situation. As a result of these challenges many preachers are reluctant to engage with Revelation and overlook some of the powerful messages of hope found within, especially for those facing trials and persecution for their faith. In this book, Murray Robertson breaks down Revelation 4 to 22 so that the concept, context, tone and contemporary message can be fully realised by those reading and preaching this apocalyptic text. Containing questions for discussion at the end of every chapter and a few sample sermon outlines, this is a very practical handbook for anyone committed to authentic biblical preaching.
Preaching and the Human Condition by Prof O. Wesley Allen JR. Pdf
In the wake of Enlightenment emphasis on the individual and confidence in human progress/ability, sermons often suffer from a lack of adequate analysis and presentation of the human condition. The result is that preachers either 1. (intentionally or unintentionally) offer self-help type messages or 2. fail to help hearers experience the breadth of the good news of Jesus Christ because the “bad news” of the world is not presented with weight. In this work, the author proposes to use the pericope in which Jesus is asked about the greatest commandment (Mk 12:28–31) as a lens for preachers exploring the human condition cumulatively from three different perspectives across the course of their preaching week in and week out. “Love God” suggests a perspective in which the human condition is seen in relation to a broken relationship between humanity and God (vertical). “Love neighbor” suggests a perspective in which the broken relationship is between humans and others (horizontal). And “as yourself” suggests a brokenness in relationship to one’s self (inner). While different theological schools have emphasized these perspectives differently as the starting points for their anthropology, views of sin,etc., all schools include all three perspectives. In individual chapters, the author will unpack these three perspectives theologically, move to suggest practical homiletical approaches to preaching in relation to each perspective, and provide a sample sermon dealing with that perspective.
The Future of Humanity by Murray Robertson (Pastor) Pdf
This commentary on Revelation has Jesus teaching about the future in Matthew 24 as its interpretative key. Revelation is understood as a series of overlapping visions, that speak to the challenges faced by believers in the first century, as well as to issues in the centuries that have followed. The visions culminate in the final triumph of Jesus Christ over the powers of darkness that oppose the Kingdom of God. It has particular relevance to followers of Jesus in the majority world, who like the early Christians are seeing both the powerful spread of the gospel and the reality of persecution.
The Claim of Humanity in Christ by Alexandra S Radcliff Pdf
Much of the preaching and teaching today demands that people actively earn their relationship with God. This prevailing understanding runs counter to the theology of the brothers Thomas F. Torrance (1913-2007) and James B. Torrance (1923-2003), who promoted the radical notion that all of humanity has its true being in Christ. In The Claim of Humanity in Christ, Alexandra Radcliff refutes the Torrances' many critics, asserting the significance of their controversial understanding of salvation for the interface between systematic and pastoral theology. Radcliff then widens the scope of her argument, constructively applying the implications of the Torrances' work to a liberating doctrine of sanctification. The Christian life is conceived as the free and joyful gift of sharing by the Spirit in the Son's intimate communion with the Father, revealing the reality of who we are in Christ.

Conversations with Barth on Preaching by Bishop William H. Willimon Pdf
One of today’s greatest preacher-theologians engages one of the twentieth century's greatest teacher-theologians on the meaning of preaching.Readers of William H. Willimon’s many books have long found there the influence of Karl Barth, probably the most significant theologian of the twentieth century. In this new book Willimon explores that relationship explicitly by engaging Barth’s work on the pitfalls and problems, glories and grandeur of preaching the Word of God. The Swiss theologian, says the author, expressed one of the highest theologies of preaching of any of the great theologians of the church. Yet too much of Barth’s understanding of preaching lies buried in the Church Dogmatics and other, sometimes obscure, sources. Willimon brings this material to light, introducing the reader to Barth’s thought, not just on the meaning, but the practice of preaching as well.
Christianity and Humanity by Thomas Starr King Pdf
Excerpt from Christianity and Humanity: A Series of Sermons HE writer Of the sermons in this volume was widely distinguished as an eloquent preacher and lecturer but perhaps the affection and admiration which were attracted to him as a rare example of Christian manhood do more jus tice to his character than even these discourses can do to the intellect which was the offshoot and expression of it. Nobody more quickly converted chance acquaintances into warm friends. TO know him was to love him. Persons Of all grades Of mind, culture, occupation, and disposition felt the effortless strength and charm Of his rich and genial nature, from the common beggar who intruded into his study with his pathetic appeal for help, always kindly met, all the way up to such an intellectual giant as Agassiz, who came to converse with him on the question of the Di vine Personality, a subject dear to the hearts of both preacher and naturalist. He thus necessa rily made a host of friends; and one of these now attempts to give a brief summary of the incidents of his life and the qualities of his Character. Thomas Starr King was born in the city Of New York, on December 17, 1824. His father. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Descending on Humanity and Intervening in History by P. T. Forsyth Pdf
This collection of forty-eight sermons, most of which have not been previously published, discloses the integration of vocation and imagination in the work of one of the greatest of Free Church theologians, P. T. Forsyth. At a time of fragmentation, when theological study has become too much removed from the task of the preacher, Forsyth's work can remind us of the invigorating power of Christian doctrine interpreted and expounded in situations of pastoral and political exigency. Its capacity for the renewal of the church is evident again from this rich and timely anthology, compiled and introduced by Jason Goroncy.
