Každý člověk, kterého kdy potkáme, má svůj životní příběh, kterému stojí za to naslouchat. Mnoho takových příběhů nacházíme i v Bibli. Je to kniha o skutečných lidech se všemi jejich přednostmi a nedostatky. Některé postavy jsou známé, o jiných toho víme jen málo. Mohou pro nás být povzbuzením, vzorem, ale i výstrahou. Každá denní chvilka s těmito postavami čtenáře obohatí novým, oslovujícím příběhem.
With a clear, straightforward definition such as this, the subject of the church isn't one that most people would consider a "doctrine." For this reason, there aren't many books that deal with this crucial fundamental belief. This very readable and informative treatment of such a vital topic fills an important gap in Adventist literature. Reinder Bruinsma's far-ranging look at the doctrine of the church moves from Old and New Testament foundations for this doctrine up through church government and on to controversial issues such as ordination and church discipline. Fittingly, he concludes with the mission and future of the church. His fourfold approach-biblical and theological, historical, practical, and with an Adventist perspective-ensures that every facet of the doctrine is explored in detail. This thought-provoking discussion challenges those who call themselves "God's people" to examine their current understanding of the church and to prayerfully consider their roles as part of the body of Christ. Book jacket.
Exploring the historical roots of anti-Catholicism among Seventh-day Adventists in North America, this book examines how 19th-century American contexts and specific apocalyptic biblical interpretations shaped these sentiments. It highlights the development of a prophetic framework that positioned Catholics as central figures in an ominous end-time narrative, reflecting broader cultural anxieties of the era.
The author offers a reflective analysis of the challenges facing the church, particularly within the context of Adventism, while emphasizing hope for renewal and transformation. Despite acknowledging current difficulties, the narrative encourages readers to maintain faith and consider a long-term perspective. The intention is not to discourage but to inspire a reconnection with faith and community, urging individuals to take a "leap of faith" amidst the crisis in Christianity.
