Publisher: University of Notre Dame Press : November 2014

The Psalms generated more biblical commentary from early Christians than any other book of the Hebrew and Christian canon. While advances have been made in our understanding of the early Christian preoccupation with this book and the traditions employed to interpret it, no study on the Psalms traditions exists that can serve as a solid academic point of entry into the field. This collection of essays by distinguished patristic and biblical scholars fills this lacuna. It not only introduces readers to the main primary sources but also addresses the unavoidable interpretive issues present in the...

How did earliest Christians receive and understand the teaching of Jesus and the apostles? These writings, among the earliest used in training new disciples, show a clear, vibrant, practical faith concerned with all aspects of discipleship in daily life--vocation, morality, family life, social justice, the sacraments, prophesy, citizenship, and leadership. For the most part, these writings have remained buried in academia, analyzed by scholars but seldom used for building up the church community. Now, at a time when Christians of every persuasion are seeking clarity by returning to the roots ...

Publisher: Baker Academic : October 2011

Seller ID: 210601

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Used - Like New

Khaled Anatolios, a noted expert on the development of Nicene theology, offers a historically informed theological study of the development of the doctrine of the Trinity, showing its relevance to Christian life and thought today. According to Anatolios, the development of trinitarian doctrine involved a global interpretation of Christian faith as a whole. Consequently, the meaning of trinitarian doctrine is to be found in a reappropriation of the process of this development, such that the entirety of Christian existence is interpreted in a trinitarian manner. The book provides essential resou...

Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you; heal the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'"

Nicaea and Its Legacy: An Approach to Fourth-Century Trinitarian Theology

By: AYRES, LEWIS

Price: $79.95

Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA : May 2006

Seller ID: 185663

ISBN-13: 9780198755050

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

Ayres states that his intended audience includes students of early Christianity and modern Christian theologians. To the latter group, Ayres suggests 'that recent Trinitarian theology has engaged the legacy of Nicaea at a fairly shallow level, frequently relying on assumptions about Nicene theology that are historically indefensible.' Catholic and Orthodox theologians, he says, are especially bound to engage Nicaea, but he intends to show that 'the complex theologies of pro-Nicenes involve an attention to Scripture that should claim the attention of all who define their faith as 'scriptural.'...
