An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith: The Early Church Fathers

John of Damascus

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith: The Early Church Fathers," John of Damascus offers a systematic and rigorous exploration of Christian doctrine, drawing heavily from scriptural foundations and the teachings of the early Church Fathers. Characterized by a balanced blend of philosophical reasoning and theological insight, this work serves as both a catechetical tool and an apologetic defense against heresies that emerged in the early centuries of Christianity. Written in an accessible yet profound style, John of Damascus systematically addresses key elements such as the nature of God, Christology, and the sacraments, all while navigating the complexities of the cultural and theological milieu of his time, thereby solidifying the tenets of Orthodox Christianity. As a prominent theologian and a staunch defender of the Orthodox faith, John of Damascus was born in the late 7th century in Damascus, a city at the crossroads of diverse cultures and religious thought. His life spanned a period of significant theological contention, as Islam's rise posed challenges to traditional Christian interpretations. Drawing from his experiences and extensive knowledge of both Greek philosophy and ecclesiastical tradition, John synthesized the teachings of the Fathers to provide clarity and orthodoxy for a world in turmoil. "An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith" is an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of Christian orthodoxy. This book not only serves as an essential reference for scholars and theologians but also invites lay readers to engage with the fundamental truths of the faith. Written with precision and devotion, this work remains a pivotal contribution to the landscape of Christian theology.

Global Dictator Handbook - Guide...

Master FEWNU

"Global Dictator Handbook" is a satirical, dystopian narrative that uses humor to critique the extreme nature of dictatorship. It serves as a cautionary tale about the erosion of freedoms and rights, reminding readers to cherish their freedom and autonomy.   
 This book's exaggerated scenarios and tongue-in-cheek comedy make it a compelling read for those interested in playfully educating themselves and others about the authoritarian regime that openly states its desire to enslave the entire world under the guise of a global credit score.   
 The "triple threat title" that this book offers are:   
 1. That you will be enslaved by the New World Order. 
2. That The New World Order will be overthrown and judged by you. 
3. That the God of the Bible has already won every battle and would love your voluntary alignment with his will as the Author and Finisher of all stories.    
 I pray this satire invites you to invite and trust him, who is faithful and proves that he is outside of our time domain by writing history in advance.  
The biblical prophetic commentary that we eventually run into is that of my best understanding as an author, and I reserve the right to be wrong about everything. I encourage anybody to search out these things for themselves and make their own convictions about biblical, government and world events.  
 Master FEWNU, The personification of the one million billionaires who plan to enslave the 8 billion global residents, is my playful, creative way of personifying the road to hell that was paved by (some) good intentions of people who nobody voted for.  
 Cheers to your playful reverse psychology education!

Love Without Limits - Jesus'...

Jacqueline A. Bussie

Winner of the 2020 IAN Outstanding Religion Book of the Year Award 
 
 
 
Our world feels more divided than ever. Polarizing politics, racial violence, economic inequity, sickness and suffering continue to leave us grappling with the loss of civility, respect, unity, and hope. Many of us question whether it's possible to cultivate a love big, revolutionary, and radical enough to overthrow hate and heal hurt. Award-winning author and public theologian Jacqueline A. Bussie not only believes it's possible—she knows it's the only path. 
 
 
 
In Love Without Limits, now with a new introduction, Bussie imparts practical solutions for people of faith who yearn to love across division, difference, and even death in today's troubled times. Through poignant personal memoir, engaging theological reflection, inspiring true stories of transgressive friendships, creative readings of scripture, and surprising shout-outs to some of love's most unsung teachers, Bussie challenges listeners to answer God's call to practice a love so deep, it subverts the social order; so radical, it scandalizes the powerful; so capacious, it excludes no one.
