Jesus the Christ: A Study of the Messiah and His Mission According to Holy Scriptures Both Ancient and Modern

It is particularly congruous and appropriate that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-the only Church that affirms authority based on specific revelation and commission to use the Lord’s Holy Name as a distinctive designation-should set forth her doctrines concerning the Messiah and His mission. The author of this volume entered upon his welcome service under request and appointment from the presiding authorities of the Church; and the completed work has been read to and is approved by the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve. It presents, however, the writer’s personal belief and profoundest conviction as to the truth of what he has written. A characteristic feature of the work is the guidance afforded by modern scriptures and the explication of the Holy Writ of olden times in the light of present day revelation, which, as a powerful and well directed beam, illumines many dark passages of ancient construction.

Jesus the Christ: A Study of the Messiah and His Mission according to Holy Scriptures both Ancient and Modern

The scope of the subject presented in this work is expressed on the title page. It will be readily seen that the author has departed from the course usually followed by writers on the Life of Jesus Christ, which course, as a rule, begins with the birth of Mary’s Babe and ends with the ascension of the slain and risen Lord from Olivet. The treatment embodied in these pages, in addition to the narrative of the Lord’s life in the flesh comprizes the antemortal existence and activities of the world’s Redeemer, the revelations and personal manifestations of the glorified and exalted Son of God during the apostolic period of old and in modern times, the assured nearness of the Lord’s second advent, and predicted events beyond—all so far as the Holy Scriptures make plain. It is particularly congruous and appropriate that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—the only Church that affirms authority based on specific revelation and commission to use the Lord’s Holy Name as a distinctive designation—should set forth her doctrines concerning the Messiah and His mission. The author of this volume entered upon his welcome service under request and appointment from the presiding authorities of the Church; and the completed work has been read to and is approved by the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve. It presents, however, the writer’s personal belief and profoundest conviction as to the truth of what he has written. The book is published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A characteristic feature of the work is the guidance afforded by modern scriptures and the explication of the Holy Writ of olden times in the light of present day revelation, which, as a powerful and well directed beam, illumines many dark passages of ancient construction. The spirit of the sacredness inherent in the subject has been a constant companion of the writer throughout his pleasing labor, and he reverently invokes the same as a minister to the readers of the volume. JAMES E. TALMAGE. Salt Lake City, Utah, September, 1915.

A Key to the Knowledge of Church History (Ancient)

This Volume offers to the reader a short and condensed account of the origin, growth, and condition of the Church in all parts of the world, from the time of our Lord down to the end of the fifteenth century, the narrative being compressed into as small a compass as is consistent with a readable form.

In such a work the reader will not, of course, expect to find any full and detailed account of so vast a subject as Pre-Reformation Church History. Its object is rather to sketch out the historical truth about each Church, and to indicate the general principles on which further inquiry may be conducted by those who have the opportunity of making it.

It is hoped that those whose circumstances do not admit of an extended study of the subject will find in the following pages a clear, though condensed, view of the periods and Churches treated of; and that those whose reading is of a less limited range will be put in possession of certain definite lines of thought, by which they may be guided in reading the statements of more elaborate histories.

It may be added, that the writer’s stand-point throughout has been that of a loyal attachment to the Church of England, as the authorized exponent and upholder of Catholic doctrine for English people.

Reading the Old Testament with the Ancient Church: Exploring the Formation of Early Christian Thought (Evangelical Ressourcement: Ancient Sources for the Church’s Future)

ISBN13: 9780801027772
Condition: New
Notes: BRAND NEW FROM PUBLISHER! 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Tracking provided on most orders. Buy with Confidence! Millions of books sold!

The contemporary church dismisses Christianity’s foundational Scriptures at its own peril. However, the teachings of the Old Testament are less and less at the center of congregational preaching and conversation. The early church fathers–visionaries such as Augustine, Origen, and Tertullian–embraced the Hebrew Scriptures, allowing the Old Testament to play a central role in the formation of their beliefs. As today’s Christians struggle to relate to concepts such as the Jewish law and the prophets, pastors and laypersons benefit from looking through the lenses of these thoughtful pioneers. This latest volume in the Evangelical Ressourcement series helps the Old Covenant to come alive.

The Eastern ORTHODOX Church is the ONLY TRUE and Apostolic CHURCH. part 2 of 3 – American documentary: “The Ancient Church”

How old is the ORTHODOX faith? If you are a Lutheran, your religion was founded by Martin Luther, an ex-monk of the Catholic Church, in the year 1517. If you belong to the Church of England, your religion was founded by King Henry VIII in the year 1534 because the Pope would not grant him a divorce with the right to re-marry. If you are a Presbyterian, your religion was founded by John Knox in Scotland in the year 1560. If you are a Congregationalist, your religion was originated by Robert Brown in Holland in 1582. If you are Protestant Episcopalian, your religion was an offshoot of the Church of England, founded by Samuel Senbury in the American colonies in the 17th century. If you are a Baptist, you owe the tenets of your religion to John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1606. If you are of the Dutch Reformed Church, you recognize Michelis Jones as founder because he originated your religion in New York in 1628. If you are a Methodist, your religion was founded by John and Charles Wesley in England in 1774. If you are a Mormon (Latter Day Saints), Joseph Smith started your religion in Palmyra, New York, in 1829. If you worship with the Salvation Army, your sect began with William Booth in London in 1865. If you are Christian Scientist, you look to 1879 as the year in which your religion was born and to Mary Baker Eddy as its founder. If you belong to one of the religious organizations known as “Church of the Nazarene, Pentecostal Gospel,” “Holiness Church,” or …

Isidore of Seville: De Ecclesiasticis Officiis (Ancient Christian Writers)

In this book, Isidore describes and traces the origin of the Church offices, both liturgical and ministerial. In its present form, De Ecclesiasticis Officiis consists of two books with a total of seventy chapters. Book One is organized on the basis of the liturgical practice of Isidore’s day and describes the Eucharistic liturgy with its components, the Divine Office and major liturgical feasts and church practices. The fact that these chapters are arranged in the order of Spain’s seventh century liturgy provides modern day scholars and interested Catholics a fascinating glimpse into a vibrant liturgical prayer form which continues to be celebrated today, some 1500 years later. In Book Two of De Ecclesiasticis Officiis, Isidore studies the offices of those who exercised ministry in the Church of his day, describes other significant groups, and concludes by examining the Rite of Initiation. This Book provides a rare account of Church life and practice of seventh century Spain.

Uniqueness:
* This is the first complete English translation of this important work of Isidore, the last Latin Father of the Church.
* Isidore is one of the most influential Latin theologians in the West until Trent
* Isidore was a strong advocate of clerical education, a precursor of the Tridentine seminary system, and a reformer of Church life
* The book is the fullest description available of 7th-century Spanish liturgy and Church life and practice
* The book demonstrates the variety of Latin liturgies in the West

Gnosticweb: Bringing Ancient Gnosis to the Modern World

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2005

Years ago the disciples were brutally stoned and crucified after trying to spread the teachings of their Master, Jesus. In the 13th Century the Roman Church set out to exterminate the Cathars and Knights Templar in the infamous Holy Inquisition. Yet despite the horrific persecutions that sought to completely wipe the Gnostics off the face of the earth, their teachings survived and today the popularity of Gnosis is now soaring Â its international success culminating at the groundbreaking, new website www.gnosticweb.com which went live on the 10th April 2005.

Gnosticweb’s release signals a radical change in the way the ancient Gnostic teachings are now reaching the world, with over 28,000 students having already taken the free courses at the sister site Mysticweb. Gnosticweb, however, is being released as the site for modern Gnosis – presenting the ancient Gnostic teachings, which have long been encoded in the parables and ancient style of the Bible and Nag Hammadi Library, in a modern way. Here at Gnosticweb this information is taught plainly. It is here that esoteric knowledge has gone public.

Celebrities, historians, philosophers, theoligans, anthropologists, the media and the public are starting to talk about Gnosis, with the uncovering of the mysterious new revelations, sayings of Jesus and gospels brought to the world with the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library, to the recent blockbusters on screen and international bestseller lists. The release of controversial new information on the Gnostics that has been hidden for over 1,500 years, has many re-questioning their spiritual beliefs and long-held views on the life of Jesus, the disciples and groups like the Essenes and Cathars.

Today the spiritual school Gnosticweb and its website, is powered by the internationally renowned spiritual teacher and author Belzebuub whose books and courses that teach Gnosis to the contemporary seeker, have launched Gnosis into the spotlight. 2000 years on Belzebuub is still teaching the often scandalised assertion that all humans beings have the ability to directly experience the divine. And this is why Gnosis, or knowledge, is still alive and fresh as ever. People are continually re-discovering for themselves the Gnosis taught by Jesus and his apostles, once thought to be lost to the pages of history Â spread now at Gnosticweb using the technologies of the modern age.

Jason, a Gnosticweb teacher says, ÂReceiving the information on the courses was like finding an oasis after walking through the desertÂ.

ÂPeople come to the courses from all walks of life,Â he continues. ÂIt’s a privilege to pass on this vital information to those who are interested, just like it was given to me. Gnosis is wonderful and I’m glad I can share it with others.Â

Gnosticweb is a non-profit organization. For more information on modern Gnosis, our new website and our free courses visit www.gnosticweb.com .
