Practical Christianity

‘Orthodoxy’, and also ‘heresy’, was introduced into Christendom not in the 1st century, but early in the 4th, under the leadership of the Roman Emperor Constantine who desired a unified Christianity as a state religion. Before then there was a fairly healthy and free enquiry among Christians with respect to the most profound of Scriptural topics. Has such opened enquiry now returned to the church? The author’s aim is to encourage and stimulate Christians to approach the Bible for themselves, to come to their own conclusions but to be ever aware and respectful of others and their views.

The Four Gospels Compared and Contrasted

W M Henry and Michael Penny

Basically they are two different theological views regarding God's role and our own in the whole process of salvation. Both are based on the Bible, but the differences arise due to their interpretation of what the Bible says. Calvinism was popularised by John Calvin (1509-1564) who was a French reformer, and followed after Martin Luther (1483-1546) who initiated the Reformation. Arminianism is named after Jacob Arminius (1560-1609) who was a Dutch theologian. But what are Calvinism and Arminianism? What are the differences? And why does it matter? And is there a third position? A blend of both?

Many have noticed that ‘God’ is not once mentioned in the Book of Esther. None-the-less, on every page His hand is seen and His providence manifested. However, the silences of God’s Word, like its utterance, are full of instruction, and E W Bullinger has found much teaching in the absence of Jehovah’s name from this Old Testament book. He has also brought out the fact that the name Jehovah is in the Book of Esther. It occurs a number of times, but on each occasion it is hidden away in an acrostic.

The Name of Jehovah in the Book of Esther

Bullinger, E.W.

The Lesson of The Book of Job as seen in “The End of The Lord”. The Book of Job, according to the author, contains “The Oldest Lesson in the world”: a lesson Job had to learn, and so do all of us. Man’s way, as seen by Job’s three friends, in not God’s way. Job, one of the oldest books in the Bible, shows that even in a time of great adversity, good can be the end-product, thanks to the workmanship of God. This is a lesson we must all learn if we are to gain some measure of understanding of suffering.

Bullinger lived at a time when Higher Criticism of the Bible by certain theologians was gaining ground. One such criticism was that the prophecy of Isaiah was in two distinct halves and was written by two (or more) different people. In this publication Bullinger not only disagrees with those ideas but refutes them with a wealth of impartial information from within the book itself and also from the New Testament. His reasons, put forward over 100 years ago, are still as relevant and powerful today.
