Absoluteness Of Christianity And The History Of Religions
$32.00Add to cartIn this seminal work, pioneering theologian Ernst Troeltsch raises the question, “How can we pass beyond the diversity with which history presents us to norms for our faith and for our judgments about life?” He trenchantly probes the issue of how one religion-when viewed historically in the context of other world religions-can be universally and absolutely true.
Though many others since have explored the issue of historical relativism and religious truth, few have done so with Troeltsch’s determination and incisiveness, and for this he has made a lasting contribution to Christian theology and the philosophy of religion. The questions Troeltsch poses in this book remain utterly significant for the thoughtful Christian today.This reissue of a well-known classic includes a foreword by theological titan James Luther Adams, deceased American social ethicist and theologian at Harvard Divinity School.

God Is A Warrior
$17.99Add to cartGod Is a Warrior traces the development of the “divine warrior” motif through the Old and New Testaments, beginning with Israel’s conflicts with her enemies and ending with Christ’s victorious return in Revelation. Against the broader background of Ancient Near Eastern warrior mythology, Part I discusses Yahweh’s warfare on behalf of ancient Israel, and prophecies of the coming Divine Deliverer. Part II looks at the New Testament’s Divine Warrior, Jesus Christ, and his war against his spiritual enemies in the Synoptic Gospels, in Paul’s letters, and in the final apocalyptic battle in the book of Revelation.
