The End of the Church by Ephraim Radner Pdf

In this first serious assessment of the meaning of church division, Ephraim Radner provides a theological rationale for today's divided church in the Christian West that goes far beyond the standard socio-historical explanations of denominationalism. Through an examination of controversial, post-Reformation discussions about the church, Radner offers a significant theory that describes the relation between Christian division and the work of the Holy Spirit within Western modernity. Radner's description of the church is based on the traditional notion that a divided church is, in a significant sense, a "dead" church, after the figure of the pneumatically abandoned "dead Christ," who himself suffers redemptively the disintegration and restoration of divided Israel in his physical and spiritual passion. The hermeneutical basis for the usefulness of this figure lies deep in the scriptural practice of the undivided church, and was common up through the Reformation. Radner's recovery of this figural perspective is applied to the cluster of pneumatological issues that define ecclesial life.

Quit Church by Chris Sonksen Pdf

Let's face it. Church isn't working. We hear sermons about the abundant life Jesus promised, but how many of us are actually living it? How many of our churches are thriving? How many people in our congregations are experiencing God's blessings? Maybe it's time to call it quits. Quit church? Well, not exactly. Drawing from his experience coaching hundreds of churches toward true growth, Chris Sonksen calls on us to quit our casual, cultural commitment to church as we know it. No more half-hearted attempts to win the favor of God and other people by doing the right thing. No more doing things out of a sense of duty. Instead, Sonksen reveals the spiritual habits that release the blessings of God, both on each individual and on the church. He explains why we struggle to put these practices into action and gives practical solutions to move us forward into health, growth, and maturity.

It's the End of the Church As We Know It by Marc Lawson Pdf

Speaking in favor of the power of God and against the traditions of men, author Marc Lawson believes that signs and wonders, miracles and demonstrations of God s power are desperately needed to defeat the onslaught of darkness our culture is accepting and endorsing more and more each day. It s the End of Church as We Know It reflects a growing dissatisfaction with the current state of the church, saying there must be more God has for Christians outside of the box. Lawson is concerned that new believers are not only being catered to with faddish trends, but they are not being invited to experience a supernatural God. Only the power of the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of His gifts, says Lawson, will fulfill God s destiny for His church.

The Victorious End-Time Church by Justin Perry Pdf

Eschatology (the study of end times) and Pneumatology (the study of the Holy Spirit) are inseparably connected. Jesus taught that “the harvest is the end of the age” (see Matthew 13:39). Multitudes will come to salvation as the church walks in the power of the Holy Spirit (see Acts 2:17-21). In this book you will receive answers to these and many more questions: Does eschatology really matter? Does the Bible really teach an end-time harvest, outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and supernaturally empowered church? How can believers thrive in the difficult days ahead? What does Scripture actually teach about the antichrist, the tribulation, the rapture, the Battle of Armageddon, the millennium, and eternity? Where are we in the timeline of eschatology?

When the Church Was Young by Marcellino D'Ambrosio Pdf

If the word trinity isn’t in Scripture, why is it such an important part of our faith? And if the Bible can be interpreted in many ways, how do we know what to make of it? And who decided what should be in the Bible anyway? The Church Fathers provide the answers. These brilliant, embattled, and sometimes eccentric men defined the biblical canon, hammered out the Creed, and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It is they who preserved for us the rich legacy of the early Church. D’Ambrosio dusts off the dry theology and brings you the exciting stories and great heroes such as Ambrose, Augustine, Basil, Athanasius, Chrysostom, and Jerome. This page-turner will inspire and challenge you with the lives and insights of these seminal teachers from when the Church was young.

The End of Protestantism by Peter J. Leithart Pdf

The Failure of Denominationalism and the Future of Christian Unity One of the unforeseen results of the Reformation was the shattering fragmentation of the church. Protestant tribalism was and continues to be a major hindrance to any solution to Christian division and its cultural effects. In this book, influential thinker Peter Leithart critiques American denominationalism in the context of global and historic Christianity, calls for an end to Protestant tribalism, and presents a vision for the future church that transcends post-Reformation divisions. Leithart offers pastors and churches a practical agenda, backed by theological arguments, for pursuing local unity now. Unity in the church will not be a matter of drawing all churches into a single, existing denomination, says Leithart. Returning to Catholicism or Orthodoxy is not the solution. But it is possible to move toward church unity without giving up our convictions about truth. This critique and defense of Protestantism urges readers to preserve and celebrate the central truths recovered in the Reformation while working to heal the wounds of the body of Christ.
