'This We Believe: The Christian Case for Gay Civil Rights' demonstrates how traditional Christian beliefs about homosexuality are hurting all of the church, especially its most vulnerable members: young gay people who are convinced that their very essence is sinful. It summarizes the latest scientific research, current Biblical scholarship, and the teachings of Jesus to show why an ever-growing number of Christian leaders and laypeople now support marriage equality and other civil rights for gay, lesbian, and transgender people. "This book is a veritable 'CliffsNotes' on what we now know about homosexuality and its relationship to Christian faith. In a few short pages, C.S. Pearce debunks long-held myths, clarifies Scripture and argues for a much needed rethinking of the Church's traditional stand. Just reading these words will reassure young gay and lesbian people that God loves them just as they are, while challenging those who are not so sure that perhaps they have put God's love in too small a box." -The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, Bishop of New Hampshire.

Apologia Pro Vita Sua

The point of controversy, in 1864, between Charles Kingsley and John Henry Newman is now only incidental to what it produced. Out of it came one of the most influential religious autobiographies of western liturature, the Apologia Pro Vita Sua. It is far more than a vigorous defense of religious adherence it is an affirmation of faith and conviction, a projection of a magnetic and powerful personality and dynamic account of spiritual conversion. Anton C. Pegis, the renowned Thomist scholar and distinguished Catholic philosopher, provides an illuminating and perceptive introduction for Cardinal Newman's masterpiece.Contents Include Mr. Kingsley's Method of Disputation True Mode of Meeting Mr. Kingsley History of my Religious Opinions up to 1833 History of my Religious Opinions from 1833 to 1839 History of Religious Opinions from 1839 to 1841 History of my Religious Opinions from 1841 to 1845 General Answer to Mr. Kingsley Keywords: Charles Kingsley John Henry Newman Apologia Pro Vita Cardinal Newman Religious Autobiographies Affirmation Of Faith Anton C Pegis Vigorous Defense True Mode Spiritual Conversion Adherence Philosopher Masterpiece Incidental

Moody, D.L.

There are many books about the parables but this one, which shows wide reading and a full acquaintance with recent scholarship, will certainly be as the author hopes, of real service to students and teachers. It is indeed admirably done. Dr Martin expounds very clearly the background of each parable and its immediate purpose, and when he turns to discuss its application to modern conditions, does so with considerable insight and a vivid sense of their application to the ethical problems with which most of the modern world is concerned. Originally published in 1937. Contents Include The Rock and the Sand The Two Debtors The Shower The Tares The Draw-Net The Seed Growing Secretly The Mustard Seed The Leaven The Hid Treasure The Pearl The Unforgiving Debtor The Good Samaritan The Friend at Midnight The Unjust Judge The Empty House The Rich Fool The Barren Fig-Tree The Marriage of the King's Son The Grear Supper The Wedding Garmaent The Lost Sheep The LOST Coin The Prodgigal Son The Unjust Steward Dives and Lazarus Unprofitable Servants The Pharisee and the Publican The Labourers in the Vineyard The Talents The Pounds The Two Sons The Wicked Husbandmen The Ten Virgins The Sheep and The Goats
