  Victorious Christ : A Study Of The Book Of Revelation

  $29.00

  Many Christians avoid the book of Revelation. Because of its apocalyptic concerns and use of symbolism and imagery, readers often find Revelation difficult to understand. C. Freeman Sleeper offers a logical and nonthreatening way for people to study Revelation. First, Sleeper helps readers ask the basic questions. Then he goes through matters such as imagery and symbolism and their use in other literature written around the same period. Finally, he deals with difficult issues in interpretation and the implications of Revelation for Christians today. This is a great guide for non-specialists in search of a reliable and interesting exploration of the book of Revelation. C. Freeman Sleeper, at the time of this book’s publication, was Professor Emeritus of Religion at Roanoke College in Virginia.

  Bible And The Moral Life

  $35.00

  The Bible helps to shape our understanding of Christian responsibility. However, different church bodies and individuals who claim scripture as an authority on ethics often reach different conclusions about moral life. In this book, C. Freeman Sleeper describes how the Bible can be used as a guide to moral life. He shows how various church bodies use the Bible to speak to specific contemporary ethical issues and deals directly with the question of the authority of the Bible by taking up the teaching of four basic styles of moral reflection–law, prophecy, apocalypse, and wisdom. Sleeper reviews the way that church bodies developed and used social policy and draws a distinction between the way churches speak to their own constituency and the way they speak to the world. He considers in detail the ethics of nuclear war and abortion. Practical exercises are also provided throughout the book.
