Adolf Von Harnack
$23.00
Adolf von Harnack was the most outstanding student of early Christianity in modern times and one of the most persuasive exponents of liberal theology. Although subsequent scholarship has strongly challenged many of his conclusions, the questions he raised remain central to much theological endeavor.
Despite their critique of Harnack, both Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer – two of his most eminent students – recognized the immense contribution he made to Christian theology in the modern era.
This volume concentrates on the key texts and ideas in Harnack’s thought. It presents the essential Harnack for students and the general reader.
Martin Rumscheidt’s introductory essay and notes on the selected texts set Harnack in his historical context, chart the development of his thought, and indicate the significance of his theology in the development of Christian theology as a whole.
Substantial selections from Harnack’s work illustrate key themes:
History as a science in the service of theology
The gospel, early Christianity, and the history of dogma and the church
The presence and influence of the ‘religious genius’ in the history of Christianity
The religious-social imperative in the gospel and church
The personal faith of the theologian

Life Lessons From Philippians
$12.99Add to cartAn unexpected bill. An upcoming doctor’s appointment. A tense family visit. The list could go on. Every day struggles of all sizes creep into our lives, leaving us stressed. Frustrated. Anxious. Just plain miserable. The believers in Philippi were struggling. They were trying to grow in faith and live for Christ. Trying to deal with conflict and threats of persecution. The apostle Paul was stuck in a Roman prison when he wrote to this young church. His letter could have focused on his own troubles. Instead he wrote about living a life full of joy, peace, and contentment. He reminds us of important biblical truths and points us to Jesus as the ultimate example. Paul’s letter encourages. It inspires. His confidence reminds us of God’s wisdom and control in the difficult moments of life. His excitement challenges us in this guide to joy.
