Frequently, the Bible was a violent force in Puritan New England, where ministers and magistrates used biblical passages to justify the punishment of many religious radicals. Encouraged by the Bible, Puritans whipped and imprisoned Baptists, banished a variety of radicals from the Puritan colonies, and even sent Quakers to the gallows. Among those banished was Roger Williams, the advocate of religious liberty who also founded the colony of Rhode Island and established the first Baptist church in America. Williams opposed the Puritans' use of the Bible to persecute radicals who rejected the state's established religion. In retaliation against the use of scripture for violent purposes, Williams argued that religious liberty was a biblical concept that offered the only means of eliminating the religious wars and persecutions that plagued the seventeenth century. Empowered by his interpretation of scripture, Williams posed a serious challenge to a colonial society in which the Bible was the paramount guide in every aspect of life, both public and private.As Byrd reveals, Williams's biblical case for religious liberty was multifaceted. He drew from a wide range of scriptural texts and wrestled with a variety of interpreters. By focusing on Williams's biblical opposition to religious persecution, this book demonstrates the importance of the Bible to violence, religious liberty, and the relationship between church and state in early American history. Included is a reference guide to Williams's biblical interpretation which features the only biblical indices to hispublished works, accompanied by rankings of his biblical citations in various categories, including his most cited biblical passages throughout his career. http://books.google.com/books?id=M4FK-j35yFYCQu’est-ce qu’une nation ? - Wikisource

Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate (Traditional Chinese Edition) by Jerry BridgesOil Lamp Books
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: Whatever happened to sin? Have Christians become so preoccupied with the major sins of society that we have lost sight of our need to deal with our own more subtle sins? Jerry Bridges addresses specific "acceptable" sins that we tend to tolerate in our lives-such as jealousy, anger, pride, unthankfulness, and judgmentalism. Jerry writes not from a height of spiritual accomplishment but from the trenches of his own battles with sin. In his admonitions, Jerry offers a message of hope in the profound mercy of the gospel and the transforming grace of God as the means to overcome our subtle sins. "If we are not humbled into repentance by Bridges' diagnosis of things that are wrong with us, then something is indeed wrong with us, and badly so. Read this book-we need to-and be ready for a gentle surgeon's sharp knife." J. I. Packer, professor of theology, Regent College; author of Knowing God; "Jerry Bridges has blessed us with this timely book designed to help us grow in grace and glorify and enjoy God as we ought. I can't think of any partner with whose help I'd rather tackle my own heart sins than Jerry." Ligion Duncan, adjunct professor, Reformed Theological Seminary; senior minister, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi CHINESE DESCRIPTION: 罪怎麼了？基督徒是否太過糾纏於社會上顯著的罪，忽略了對付我們自身精煉、微妙的罪？畢哲思指出我們在生命中縱容的「可行的罪」，如嫉妒、憤怒、驕傲、不感恩、論斷。畢哲思並非從屬靈成就高峰的角度去寫此書，而是從他自己與罪搏鬥的戰壕中寫的。畢哲思提供了盼望的訊息，勸戒讀者透過福音無比的恩慈、神改造生命的恩典去戰勝微妙的罪。「如果我們不能謙卑地面對畢哲思對罪的剖析，不能悔改，那麼，我們是真有問題，確有問題。我們 『需要』讀此書，預備迎接外科醫生溫柔鋒利的手術刀」巴刻 J. I. Packer, 加拿大維真神學院神學科教授,《認識神》Knowing God 的作者; 「畢哲思以此書祝福我們，此書適切地特別幫助我們在恩典中成長，榮耀、享受上帝，這都是我們應該做的。除了畢哲思之外，我再想不出任何人令我情願與他一起對付我心里的罪。」鄧亙 J. Ligon Duncan, 美國改革宗神學院兼任教授, 美國密西西比州傑克信市, 第一長老會主任牧師 "If You Tolerate This . . . ": The Spanish Civil War in the Age of Total War Campus VerlagThe Spanish Civil War has been called the quintessential expression of violent ideological confrontation in 1930s Europe. Despite this reputation, researchers have neglected to properly explore the Spanish experience in the context of the history of twentieth-century warfare. To fill this gap, “If You Tolerate This . . . ” brings together an international group of scholars to address the Spanish Civil War’s role in the development of total war. Examining such topics as military violence, the experience of war, and the culture of war, this anthology traces how the differentiation between civilian and military sectors crumbled with the onset of civil war. Individual memory and collective identity in Spain, the authors argue, became synonymous with mass killing and mass dying. Offering a unique perspective on one of European history’s most fraught events, this volume will be necessary reading for students and scholars of twentieth-century Spain and military history. |
