The Story of the Trinity - Controversy Crisis and the Creation of the Nicene Creed

Bryan M. Litfin

Sinopsis

One God. Three Persons. But how?

· Discover the incredible true story of how Christians came to understand the doctrine of the Trinity
· Understand the Nicene Creed as a beautiful and balanced confession of our faith
· From a dynamic writer and respected professor

Christians believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God in three persons. Yet many would be hard-pressed to explain why they believe this, or even where it might be found in Scripture. In engaging, accessible prose, The Story of the Trinity relates the settings, characters, and conflicts that led to the Council of Nicaea and the creation of the Nicene Creed, a simple yet beautiful statement of faith that expresses core Christian beliefs that continue to be affirmed worldwide.

Rather than getting bogged down in dry semantics, Bryan M. Litfin recounts the dynamic story of how the one God revealed himself as triune in both the Old and New Testaments, unfolding this core doctrine of the church so that it not only makes sense, but brings glory to God and expresses the true nature of the gospel.

"A masterclass in distilling biblical, theological, and historical content into an engaging and enjoyable narrative of cosmic proportions. Skeptics and believers alike will profit from Litfin's charm and sagacity."--Coleman M. Ford, PhD, assistant professor of humanities, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

"Highly recommended. How encouraging to observe such a rigorous study from a well-known evangelical theologian!"--Patrick Henry Reardon, senior editor, Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity

Attitudes to Life

Ruth Walshe

"As long as we have the delusion of an ego, we will have all sorts of attitudes, convictions and views, which are all thought-created. In fact, instead of having a direct experience of life in the present, we live in a world of thoughts of either the past or the future. We live by our memories, speculations and fears. 
 
We miss so much of life by reproducing it second-hand in our mind. 
 
But once we have realized our true nature by breaking through our protective shell, we will live in the present moment. All our bare attention will be given to the act without the assumption of an ego outside the act. That moment will fill the whole of our action—the whole of our sense-impressions: the seeing, the hearing, the smelling, the touching, the tasting, the knowing." 
—Ruth Walshe

Nightlight The - 19 - THE...

Christopher Glyn

Do you want to be armed with the ultimate spiritual weapon? Then listen to these imprecatory prayers of David from the Book of Psalms. Written out of zeal for God's Name, justice, righteousness and from a strong abhorrence of evil (not out of petty vindictiveness), they call on God to lift up the righteous and bring down the wicked. If you feel at a loss for adequate words to pray against the flood of iniquity unleashed upon the world, then let's take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and pray these powerful prayers together!
