Kasemann treats major themes in Paul's thought with his customary originality, clarity, and brilliance. The book's starting point is Paul's anthropology. Kasemann maintains that stresses both man's individuality and his place within the cosmos. For Paul, justification must also be seen in cosmic and eschatological terms. Individual essays in this book focus on Paul's theology of the cross, on the motif of the body of Christ, on Christian worship, and on the terms spirit and letter. Within his discussion of the apostle, Kasemann criticizes extreme views of institutional orthodoxy and some aspects of Bultmannian existentialism. Those familiar with theological trends will be especially interested in the author's comments on the ideas of Johannes Munck, Krister Stendahl, and Rudolf Bultmann. Those new to Kasemann will discover a scholar who never loses sight of the relation between biblical study and the life of the church. This collection of essays is essential reading for anyone studying Paul or New Testament theology.

A major study reevaluating the primary sources of the post-Reformation period to determine how consistent they are with the thinking of the Reformers on Scripture.

"Postmodernism and Public Policy shows how a postmodern Christianity can contribute positively to thinking about religious and cultural pluralism, and how this can give direction to the educational enterprise. It proposes ways of understanding sex, gender, and race that take diversity seriously without lapsing into a debilitating relativism that inhibits political action. Arguing for a shift from individualism to thinking of persons-in-community, it proposes that the world be organized from the bottom up in communities of communities, and spells out what this implies for the political and economic orders and the relationship between them. Cobb shows that formulations on all these topics can be coherently interconnected and he develops the implications of such thinking for some specific ethical and political issues that now trouble the United States, such as abortion, physician-assisted suicide, and homosexuality."--BOOK JACKET.

The Bible teaches us that we are to be filled with God's Spirit and that God's presence and grace is manifested among his people as they serve, love, and minister to one another. Yet some of the gifts that God offers to his people aren't commonly seen in many churches today. Gifts of prophecy, healing, tongues, and other supernatural gifts of God seem to be absent, and many Christians are unsure how to cultivate an atmosphere where God's Spirit can work while remaining committed to the foundational truth of God's Word. How can Christians pursue and implement the miraculous gifts of the Spirit without falling into fanatical excess and splitting the church in the process? In Practicing the Power, pastor and author Sam Storms offers practical steps to understanding and exercising spiritual gifts in a way that remains grounded in the word and centered in the gospel. With examples drawn from his forty years of ministry as a pastor and teachers, Storms offers a guidebook that can help pastors, elders, and church members understand what changes are needed to see God move in supernatural power and to guard against excess and abuse of the spiritual gifts. If you long to see God's Spirit move in your church and life, and aren't sure why that isn't happening or where to begin, this book is for you.
