Christopher Joseph Herbert Wright Knihy

Interaktivní křesťanská učebnice etiky pro mládež od jednoho z předních současných odborníků na Starý Zákon Christophera Wrighta. Kniha probírá klasické oblasti etiky, se zaměřením na mladé lidi (morální bludiště, vzpoura, láska, odpuštění). Nevyhýbá se ani složitým otázkám (utrpení, potrat, smrt) a probírá i ryze současné problémy (zvířata, záchrana planety, peníze). Dává mladým lidem možnost přemýšlet nad životními situacemi z křesťanského pohledu, nikoliv pouze přebírat znalosti zkušenějších. Klade otázky: Je to správné? Je to zákonné? Je to riskantní? Je to zábava? Jednotlivé kapitoly knihy jsou doplněny o obrázky a zarámované texty k zamyšlení, úryvky z novin a deníky mládeže, otázky, o oddíly z Bible a rozličná shrnutí. Ke knize je připojen metodický materiál pro učitele a pracovní listy, se kterými student může pracovat.

We first meet the Holy Spirit in the second verse of the Bible, hovering there, speaking the world into existence. Christopher Wright begins here and traces the Holy Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament. He shows that the Spirit is knowable, and that the Spirit empowers God's people and sustains the earth.

If we are honest, we have to admit that there are many things we don’t understand about God. We do not have final answers to the deep problems of life, and those who say they do are probably living in some degree of delusion. There are areas of mystery in our Christian faith that lie beyond the keenest scholarship or even the most profound spiritual exercises. For many people, these problems raise so many questions and uncertainties that faith itself becomes a struggle, and the very person and character of God are called into question. Chris Wright encourages us to face up to the limitations of our understanding and to acknowledge the pain and grief they can often cause. But at the same time, he wants us to be able to say, like the psalmist in Psalm 73: “But that’s all right. God is ultimately in charge and I can trust him to put things right. Meanwhile, I will stay near to my God, make him my refuge, and go on telling of his deeds.”

Christopher J. H. Wright sets the concept of salvation in its biblical context, showing its global implications for how God's redeemed people relate to one another and the world they inhabit.

How should Christians live? Some Christians stress the importance of keeping all the rules, while others see the Christian faith as setting us free from religious burdens. Inviting us to live a life in step with the Spirit, Christopher Wright teaches us how to feed on the Word of God, grow in Christlikeness, and live a fruitful life.

The revised edition includes deeper insights into the Old Testament and offers questions and exercises for personal or group study, encouraging readers to engage with the Scriptures and discover the essence of Jesus through the narrative of Israel.
