Protestant Faith
$25.00
This new edition of a standard text describes lucidly and comprehensively the “classical Protestant faith” with the help of illustrations drawn from contemproary life. It does not assume previous knowledge yet does not avoid the more complex issues in Christian theology, such as theories of the atonement or the doctrine of the trinity. In eight chapters the author explains, against many current misunderstandings, what Christians mean by faith. He deA scribes the nature of revelation and the God who has revealed himself – and what this means for an understanding of the world and the human condition in this world. This is fol lowed by an explanation of the doctrine of Christ, his human ity and divinity, and his work on behalf of the human race. Professor Forell concludes with an explanation of the work of the Holy Spirit through the church by means of word and sac rament and details the Christian hope for the coming kingdom of God. [The Protestant Faith] has a valuable appendix which makes available the universal Christian creeds and confes sional statements, and adds to its appeal as atext and ref erence manual.

$18.99Add to cartBased on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
*”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
*”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
*”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
*”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
*”I thirst.”?
*”It is finished.”?
*”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
