The Kingdom Reformation by Derek Morphew Pdf

The Kingdom Reformation is the third in a trilogy on the kingdom of God: the mission and message of Jesus. The other two publications are Breakthrough: Discovering the Kingdom (a biblical theology) and Demonstrating the Kingdom (a practical theology). The trilogy forms the core of a larger project on kingdom theology which Derek Morphew has been developing over decades. It traces the roots of kingdom theology to four key factors that have emerged in the post Second World War era. They are, 1. The discovery and availability of the literature of Second Temple Judaism (the Dead Sea Scrolls, 1947).2. The post holocaust review of Protestantism and the emergence of a Jewish-Christian dialogue.3. The shift from modernism to postmodernism, leading to a review of the historical method as applied to the New Testament.4. The consensus position of inaugurated eschatology, namely that Jesus taught that the kingdom of God was both future (apocalyptic, or end of the age) and present in his ministry. These four factors have led to the emergence of a fresh departure in the long history of Christian theology, which is so fundamental (like a Reformation) that everything must be reviewed. To rediscover Jesus is to review the entire history of theology, including orthodoxy and the Reformation, without rejecting either of them. While this fresh departure is growing and widely represented today, applying kingdom theology to mission and praxis has taken place particularly in the post-Wimber charismatic or "third wave" tradition, in a number of young and growing missional and church planting movement.

Kingdom Reformation by Jim Lacy Pdf

The kingdom of heaven is meant to override and push back corrupted kingdoms of this present world. It is eternal, tangible, and relevant today. Jesus Christ spoke about the kingdom’s present reality and the world-changing dynamics associated with it. Faith-filled members of the redeemed community will occupy influential establishments and professions. Many Christians are accepting the assignment of stepping into many persuasive institutions such as government, retail sales, construction, education, media, the arts and entertainment, and family to make a difference. They are applying God’s love, biblical values, and their lifestyles to reform these arenas and to create atmospheres in which unbelievers are transformed into committed followers of Christ. Are Christian people supposed to “get along” with established practices, business as usual procedures, even if they oppose biblical ethics and practices? What if you are a “game-changer” in the mixed-up culture of our day—a Christian who boldly chooses to enter a conflicted or compromised arena of influence. Could you be the committed disciple of Jesus who will look squarely in the face of ungodly and chaotic conditions that oppose biblical ideals to deliver transformation? What if you, being armed with the armor, love, and the power of God, were to break into an established arena, an institution, a career, or profession with a better way—God’s way of doing business? Could it be that you are a reformer in the world? Is it possible you are a converter in a crazy culture that needs Jesus Christ and his biblical agenda? As we study the reality and significance of God’s kingdom, I hope you will capture its implications and relevance personally. If you do, your life in Christ will be more expressive and exciting, your purpose clearer, and our collective mission more accurately fulfilled.

Kingdom and Church by Thomas F. Torrance Pdf

In this book, the problem of the reality of salvation is addressed by T.F. Torrance's doctrine of the vicarious humanity of Christ. Through this approach, salvation as humanization is affirmed, yet without the problems of anthropocentric theologies. This book is unique in that it offers both a survey of contemporary Christian thinking on salvation as well as a constructive alternative based on Torrance's doctrine, a significant yet neglected contribution to modern theology.

Upon This Rock by Tim Hamon Pdf

Jesus preached the Kingdom of God on Earth, but WHAT did He really mean by the Kingdom? We hear Jesus' delight when Peter identified Him as the Messiah, but WHY was Jesus so pleased with Peter's insight? Upon This Rock reveals the deep kingdom principles behind Jesus' actions. Yes, He has called us to bring the Kingdom of God to the cultures of this world, but HOW will we do it? "In answers to these questions and more, Dr. Tim Hamon opens the way through scripture by yielding to the voice of God in the midst of our quest, bringing us to the mountaintop of Kingdom Authority.""A powerful and unstoppable invasion has begun on the earth! It is being propelled by the game-changing revelation that Christians should stop going to church and instead, be the church everywhere they go. Tim Hamon does a brilliant job of enlightening us on how kingdom-minded believers can leaven their world with the unstoppable principles of the kingdom of heaven. You are called to do more than make a difference; you are called to be the difference. This book will teach you how." - Dutch Sheets Forward by Dr Bill Hamon: "Dr. Tim Hamon, my son, is an Apostolic Teacher of deep comprehension who writes as he teaches. His prose flows with simple logic, profound insight, and a feather touch that belies the weight of its impact. As a master craftsman, Dr. Tim lays a secure foundation, examining all aspects of his subject matter before culminating in truth that is both simple to comprehend and a wonder to behold. It's not uncommon to hear people exclaim, "Wow, I never saw that before!" (No wonder he sells out his CD's and DVD's at our conferences long before any other speaker.) This is why his latest book is a must-read for all aspiring Third Reformation Kingdom Reformers. Those whom God calls, He also equips. Dr. Tim's work is a crucial component of that equipping. It is the book many have been seeking to understand the practical realities of the Kingdom of God. Fundamental to his insights, Dr. Tim explains how the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of the Lord, as foretold in Revelation 11:15. In my book on the third and final church reformation, I emphasized the Kingdom of God but I didn't explain what the Kingdom of God is or how we can fulfill the Lord's prayer of "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven." Instead, I said it would take another book to explain the Kingdom of God and how we achieve it. Upon This Rock, by Dr. Tim, is that other book. Dr. Tim Hamon presents truth that will bring enlightenment, revelation, and new biblical understanding to your life and ministry. Bless you, Tim, for making known to the Body of Christ what God has revealed to you. What the father has revealed, the son has fulfilled." - Bishop Bill Hamon Dr. Bill Hamon is the founder and bishop of Christian International Apostolic Network. He has authored 13 major books focused on restoration movements that have taken place during the last 40 years, including: the Prophetic Movement, the Apostolic Movement, the Saints Movement, and the 3rd Reformation. His latest book in 2016 is God's World War III.

Why the Reformation Still Matters by Michael Reeves,Tim Chester Pdf

Does the Reformation Still Matter? In 1517, a German monk nailed a poster to the door of a church, disputing key doctrines taught by the Roman Catholic Church in that day. This moment set in motion a movement that changed the entire trajectory of church history. But do the Reformers still have something to teach us? In this accessible primer, Michael Reeves and Tim Chester answer eleven key questions raised by the Reformers—questions that remain critically important for the church today.

The Reformation of the Keys by Ronald K. RITTGERS,Ronald K Rittgers Pdf

The Catholic Church's claims to spiritual and temporal authority rest on Jesus' promise in the gospels to give Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven. In the sixteenth century, leaders of the German Reformation sought a fundamental transformation of this "power of the keys" as part of their efforts to rid Church and society of alleged clerical abuses. Central to this transformation was a thoroughgoing reform of private confession. Unlike other Protestants, Lutherans chose not to abolish private confession but to change it to suit their theological convictions and social needs. In a fascinating examination of this new religious practice, Ronald Rittgers traces the development of Lutheran private confession, demonstrating how it consistently balanced competing concerns for spiritual freedom and moral discipline. The reformation of private confession was part of a much larger reformation of the power of the keys that had profound implications for the use of religious authority in sixteenth-century Germany. As the first full-length study of the role of Lutheran private confession in the German Reformation, this book is a welcome contribution to early modern European and religious history. Table of Contents: List of Figures Acknowledgments Introduction 1. Allegiance to the Regnum 2. Between Hope and Fear 3. The Assault on the Keys 4. Tentative Beginnings 5. An Evangelical Dilemma 6. The New Rite 7. Resisting the Old Jurisdiction 8. Confession Established 9. Propaganda and Practice Conclusion Notes Bibliography Index Figures Map of the Holy Roman Empire Late medieval Nuernberg The 1539 Schembartlauf hell-float The storming of the hell-float Woodcut from Andreas Osiander's children's sermon on the keys In an exceptionally fair-minded and scrupulous book, Ronald Rittgers charts a route through theological and social complexities with great clarity and subtlety. Lutherans experienced strong and conflicting emotions about confession, and Nuremberg makes a fine case study of their divergent reactions. This is an original and important addition to scholarship. --Andrew Pettegree, University of St. Andrews A finely detailed survey of the disputes and controversies surrounding the introduction of an evangelical form of confession in sixteenth-century Nuremberg. There is, to my knowledge, no comparable treatment of the subject. Rittgers's study is deeply researched. His writing is fluent, the argument easy to follow. Useful for Reformation scholars, this book also holds much for the general reader with a serious interest in the history of the Reformation. --Gerald Strauss, Emeritus, Indiana University

A Theology of Cross and Kingdom by D. K. Matthews,J. Steven O'Malley Pdf

Luther's theology of the cross has impacted major theologians and centuries of theology, including the present, and yet it is weakened by its reactionary theological determinism, reductionism, and understandable failure to properly integrate fluid, melioristic, and pro-creation kingdom eschatology. N. T. Wright's revolutionary cross, articulated in The Day the Revolution Began: Reconsidering the Meaning of Jesus's Crucifixion, is a brilliant and clarion new creation eschatological call to action that suffers from a somewhat cryptic, imprecise, and unrefined eschatology. Heino O. Kadai has presented an authoritative and concise rendering of Luther's key insights. Brian Rustin has persuasively absolved Luther's theology of the cross of blame for the Deus absconditus of modernity in his Barthian influenced Covering Up Luther. Robert Cady Saler has masterfully articulated a relevant and pastoral Theologia Crucis framed by Moltmann's Theology of Hope that is most applicable to the contemporary church and sociopolitical engagement. A Theology of Cross and Kingdom sympathetically and creatively critiques and synthesizes dominant themes in such classical and contemporary theologies of the cross within a unified cross and kingdom eschatology. Matthews deftly overcomes many of the less than helpful disjunctive approaches to the theology of the cross while proffering a way forward for this most influential and core theological treasure of the church.

Desiring the Kingdom (Cultural Liturgies) by James K. A. Smith Pdf

Malls, stadiums, and universities are actually liturgical structures that influence and shape our thoughts and affections. Humans--as Augustine noted--are "desiring agents," full of longings and passions; in brief, we are what we love. James K. A. Smith focuses on the themes of liturgy and desire in Desiring the Kingdom, the first book in what will be a three-volume set on the theology of culture. He redirects our yearnings to focus on the greatest good: God. Ultimately, Smith seeks to re-vision education through the process and practice of worship. Students of philosophy, theology, worldview, and culture will welcome Desiring the Kingdom, as will those involved in ministry and other interested readers.
