B. H. Roberts

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "A New Witness for God," B. H. Roberts presents a comprehensive exploration of Mormon faith, framed within a rich narrative that combines historical analysis, theological inquiry, and personal testimony. Spanning three volumes, this seminal work offers a meticulous examination of the Latter-day Saint (LDS) movement, its doctrine, and its historical struggles. Roberts employs a scholarly yet accessible literary style, incorporating a blend of empirical research and spiritual insight that resonates with both believers and skeptics alike. This extensive analysis not only reflects the context of early 20th-century America but also serves as a pivotal document in the ongoing dialogue about faith, revelation, and historical legitimacy in religious texts. B. H. Roberts, a prominent leader and historian of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a missionary and church elder, which motivated him to defend and articulate the tenets of his faith. His academic background and engagement with contemporary theological debates uniquely positioned him to undertake this ambitious project, seeking both to affirm the divine origins of Mormonism and to illuminate its cultural significance. Readers interested in religious studies, American history, or the intersection of faith and reason will find "A New Witness for God" to be an indispensable resource. Roberts' meticulous scholarship and passionate advocacy offer not only a defense of LDS beliefs but also an invitation to ponder broader questions about spirituality and the nature of truth. This work remains a vital contribution to understanding both the history and the future of faith.

Being a Sanctuary - The Radical...

Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez

"Perreaux-Dominguez constructs a solid model of church reform. . . . This inspires."--Publishers Weekly 
 
What does it mean to be the Body of Christ in a healthy and holy way? 
 
When news outlets reveal church scandals or we hear stories about people leaving the church, it can seem as though we are in a bit of a crisis as the Body of Christ. In Being a Sanctuary, Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez--who has experienced abuse, trauma, and racism within the church--takes us on an honest, biblical, and reflective journey as she examines the state of the church and offers us a hopeful path forward. 
 
Perreaux-Dominguez focuses on three aspects of God's vision for the church: that it would be sacred (Bible based), soft (trauma informed), and safe (justice centered). Each section of the book explores what these mean for the church using biblical teaching, practical instruction, and stories from her own experiences. She unpacks practical steps the body of Christ can take to realize this vision and cultivate a lifestyle of being a sanctuary, including repenting, pursuing sanctification, showing Christ's compassion, healing injustices, choosing unity over uniformity, and being advocates. 
 
This book is for anyone ready to be both challenged and encouraged on how we, as the Body of Christ, can collectively return to God's foundational call to be radicals who choose the path of being sacred, soft, and safe--just like Jesus is.

When Washington Burned - The...

Robert P. Watson

Perhaps no other single day in United States history was as threatening to the survival of the nation as August 24, 1814, when British forces captured Washington, DC. This unique moment might have significantly altered the nation's path forward, but the event and the reasons why it happened are little remembered by most Americans. 
 
 
 
When Washington Burned narrates and examines the British campaign and American missteps that led to the fall of Washington during the War of 1812. Watson analyzes the actions of key figures on both sides, such as President James Madison and General William Winder on the United States side and Rear Admiral George Cockburn and Major General Robert Ross on the British side. He pinpoints the reasons the campaign was such a disaster for the United States but also tells the redeeming stories of the courageous young clerks and the bold first lady, Dolley Madison, who risked their lives to save priceless artifacts and documents from the flames, including the Constitution. The British invasion was repulsed over the coming weeks and months, and the United States ultimately emerged stronger. 
 
 
 
General listeners interested in the history of Washington, United States history, and military history will be fascinated by this book.

What Did the Cross Achieve?

J. I. Packer, Mark Dever

A Classic Essay on Penal Substitutionary Atonement from Theologian J. I. Packer
Penal substitutionary atonement—the belief that Jesus's death on the cross satisfied God's wrath against sin—is central to the Christian faith, but frequently debated. Is it just to punish an innocent person in place of the guilty? How can the temporary death of one substitute for the eternal death of many? Why doesn't the cross grant Christians unlimited permission to sin? 
In this famous essay, late theologian J. I. Packer analyzes Scripture and the works of early Reformers to defend the truth of Christ's substitutionary suffering and death, the heart of the Christian gospel. Considered one of the most significant short works on penal substitutionary atonement from the 20th century, this careful, concise essay has influenced prominent theologians and is essential reading for students, pastors, and laypeople.

- From Renowned Theologian J. I. Packer: This work was originally delivered as a Tyndale Biblical Theology Lecture
- Part of the Crossway Short Classics Series: Other titles include The Lord's Work in the Lord's Way and No Little People; The Life of God in the Soul of Man; and Fighting for Holiness 
- Includes a Foreword by Mark Dever

Amounting to Nothing - Poems

Paul Quenon

After 60 years at Gethsemani Abbey, Br. Paul follows up his recent memoir, In Praise of the Useless Life, with a poetic collection that shows how to do just that – by writing poetry. 


 

Amounting to Nothing is both practical and metaphysical, a puzzling over the ultimate things of life, and a descending on the Benedictine ladder of humility to the earthly creatures surrounding a Kentucky monastery. This is less an exploration in self-knowledge than a forgetting of self in the wonders of everything. Quenon treads bare footed on the margins of mortality and immortality, with wit, thought, and hope.
