The Ten Commandments of Progressive Christianity (9781662000874)

Not long ago, I came across a list of ten principles set forth by proponents of progressive Christianity. They are, in effect, a new Ten Commandments. What's striking is that they are far less about God revealing his desires and far more about man expressing his own--less Moses, more Oprah.Yet each of these commandments is partially true. Indeed, that is what makes this list, and progressive Christianity as a whole, so challenging. Half-truths can sound quite appealing until you recognize their foundations and implications. In this guide, I diagnose and critique each of these tenets and offer a brief biblical and theological response.Liberal Christianity never really goes away. If the church is going to hold fast to "the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3), we must, in every era, be able to distinguish true faith from the false. Product details

The Homeric Hymns (9780199554751)

'With fair-tressed Demeter, the sacred goddess, my song begins, With herself and her slim-ankled daughter, whom Aidoneus once Abducted...' Most people are familiar, at least by repute, with the two great epics of Homer, the Iliad and the Odyssey, but few are aware that other poems survive that were attributed to Homer in ancient times. The Homeric Hymns are now known to be the work of various poets working in the same tradition, probably during the seventh and sixth centuries BC. They honour the Greek gods, and recount some of the most attractive of the Greek myths. Four of them (Hymns 2-5) stand out by reason of their length and quality. The Hymn to Demeter tells what happened when Hades, lord of the dead, abducted Persephone, Demeter's daughter. The Hymn to Apollo describes Apollo's birth and the foundation of his Delphic oracle. In the Hymn to Hermes Apollo's cattle are stolen by a felonious infant - Hermes, god of thieves. In the Hymn to Aphrodite the goddes

12 steps to essay (4883194884)

When writing a logical short essay, what is needed is the use of appropriate expressions, correct structure, and the logical construction of the whole essay, not a meandering list of a person's impressions or subjective feelings. However, such an ability to express oneself cannot be acquired in a short space of time. In this book, essay-style writing is broken down into 12 basic steps, allowing the learner to study such subjects as 'How to use punctuation and symbols,' 'Switching from spoken language to written language,' 'How to write objectively,' 'How to make a summary,' 'How to use quotations,' etc. Each chapter begins with the learner reading an explanation of the basic points, and then trying to write an actual short piece. Laying the groundwork in this manner, from the first stage and then onwards in 12 steps, the learner can build up his or her essay writing ability. Product details
