The content of preaching has been emphasized and studied in Seminaries, but the method for effective preaching has been treated in generalities. Now it is the time to think more specifically about processes which can help the preacher deliver biblical and powerful sermons that transform the lives of the hearers. One such process is that involving human imagination in relation to the exegesis and exposition of biblical texts

Crime and Biblical Perspectives Crime and violence is rampant throughout the world. Laws exist to maintain order and peace and provide for the safety and well-being of all members of society. Acts that disrupt and threaten this system of order are deemed criminal in nature and are punishable by law. It is believed that criminal types operate from a self-centered framework that shows little, if any regard, for the safety and well-being of others (Merton, 2006). Christianity teaches us that crime

constant exploitation of the German people. Since long, the Roman church had extracted money from the Germans in the name of salvation and filled their treasury for their own benefits. For years, the church had deluded the people by declaring that Christians can only gain forgiveness for their sins through their “pious” acts and by willingly making monetary contributions to the church.

the New Testament are comparable with other ancient letters in "the sense that they replace personal visits and are situational, carefully thought out and given and intended for Christian believers."

Doing field work allowed for me obtain a neutral role and pay more attention to the detail of my surroundings and feelings.

Rather than jettisoning these types of answers, then, I think we would be best suited adding Adams’ defense to the many-faceted response to the problem of evil from Christian philosophers of religion. My first objection is that she looks at the problem of evil as residing fundamentally in the finitude of creatures. She says that the main hurdle to atonement lies not in what we as people do but what and who we are. In

In reading Bill Davis’ book, In All Things Christ Preeminent, it is evident that receiving an education at Covenant College will be a unique spiritual and intellectual experience. With Christ present in all areas of the school, the structure of the college and what it as an institution aspires to accomplish varies greatly from that of the high school I attended.

Over 33,000 Protestant denominations - I had no idea there were so many! At first glance, it would seem that the Roman Catholic authorities were right.
