An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith - Treatise on Dogmatic Creeds of the Early Church Fathers

John of Damascus

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith," John of Damascus deftly crafts a comprehensive theological treatise that encapsulates the dogmas of Christian orthodoxy during the 8th century. Written in a systematic and accessible manner, the text employs a blend of rational discourse and profound spiritual insight, reflecting the author's intention to bridge the gap between the intellectual and the mystic aspects of faith. This pivotal work not only elucidates key doctrines such as the Trinity and Christology but also addresses heresies of the time, situating itself within the broader context of the Byzantine theological landscape where reason and tradition converged. John of Damascus, a brilliant theologian and an influential figure in the Eastern Orthodox Church, stands as a bridge between the ancient theological traditions and the challenges of his contemporary era, particularly Islamic influences. His upbringing in a Muslim-dominated society, coupled with his extensive study of classical philosophy, allowed him to engage thoughtfully with divergent worldviews, ultimately leading to the creation of a work that emphasizes the rational basis of faith without sacrificing its mystical essence. Readers seeking a profound understanding of Christian doctrine and historical theological discourse will find "An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith" an invaluable resource. John'Äôs articulate defense of orthodoxy not only informs the mind but also invites personal reflection, making it a must-read for theologians, scholars, and anyone seeking to deepen their faith.

Even the Monsters - Living with...

Daryl Potter

A grieving father and husband. A search for understanding. How can a suffering soul find meaning and peace?
First-time dad Daryl Potter never felt joy so deep. Then one week after his daughter’s birth, a devastating series of medical emergencies threatened the lives of both his wife and daughter and that innocent joy was gone forever.
Daryl’s initial inability to find help in the Bible’s key book on suffering shook his trust in God. What followed was a desperate quest to find something in the story of Job’s trials that could help him or he risked giving up on faith altogether. The search that followed lasted over twenty years.
Does Job’s ancient poem have the power to repair a wounded heart? Can a life dismantled and hope destroyed ever be restored?
In this intimate and honest account, one man wrestles with deepening his perspective of God in the context of suffering. Comprehensive Biblical commentary is interwoven with Daryl’s deeply personal narrative. He offers those experiencing hardship a path to surviving life’s challenges. It is a path that creates a rich understanding of the one who is God of even the monsters.
Even the Monsters. Living with Grief, Loss, and Depression—A Journey Through the Book of Job is a must-have resource for those going through tough times. If you like relatable experiences, in-depth Bible interpretation, unflinching quests for the truth, and real-life application of God’s Word, then you’ll be moved by Daryl Potter’s meaningful and emotional account.

Trust - What religions don't...

Gordon A. Dickson

If you could ask God a question, what would you ask Him? Most people would ask, 
“WHY?” “Why am I here?” 
“Why are all these painful things happening to me and to 
the people I love?” 
Sometimes life is so difficult that it makes us wonder: does God love us? Is He really in control of things? 
Something inside you is telling you that there ought to be real meaning in life. Where can you find it? 
This book will help you find real answers to these important questions and many more. 
As you will hear in the sample audio, most people have one of three responses to truth: they either, twist, try or trust. This book will guide you to the third choice: trust what God has done for you. 
Most world religions are about things that people try to do to get close to God. But that is not what the Bible is about. It's about trusting the things that God has done to get close to you. What has God done to get close to you? That is what this book carefully explains and applies.
