One the main groups of religious people that Jesus had to deal with were the Pharisees. Jesus had several encounters with them, and He frequently socialised with them. In fact, He and the Pharisees had a number of religious convictions in common. Nevertheless, at times, He was also very confrontational in his approach to them. Particularly their interpretation of the religious law brought them into conflict with Jesus. But in His love for them...

Descriptions of different cultures and their emphases may be dangerous, and an individual may even feel them to be offensive. On the other hand, generalisations of cultures may be very useful and helpful in understanding. If we don't understand the behavioural patterns of an individual from another culture, we will often tend to treat people disapprovingly. A negative attitude can be seen in our faces and words. At that point we are not reflec...

"Ah, that is why!" may be your reaction while you read and reflect on your own e...

The lives of missionaries rarely follow a straight and leisurely line. Those who want to acquaint people with the contents of the Bible and lead them to a knowledge of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, have to be prepared for anything. Hardly anyone can imagine what it means for such a person to leave the familiar European-Western cultural environment and learn to live in an alien social system, learn its language and its totally differ...

This book was formerly a doctoral thesis reviewed most favourably in the Christian press. However, a number of academics rejected my analysis of Cowper's sound doctrines based on their own amateur, non-clinical psychological theories culled from a superficial reading of secondary sources. They turned Cowper's enlightened poetry of the heart and the head into a homophobic exhibition of Cowper's alleged gender insecurity. Being academically qual...

Die Geschichte der evangelischen Deutschen in Russland kennt viele Namen. Vieles, was in diesem Riesenreich geworden ist, verdanken die Russen auch den deutschen Einwanderern. Auch der Name des bekennenden Mennoniten Johann Cornies kommt in den Geschichtsbüchern vor. Gewürdigt wurden seine Lebens- und Glaubensleistungen allerdings nur selten und wenn dann nur von seinen Glaubensbrüdern, den Mennoniten. Dabei ist dem fleißigen Bauern aus Südrus...

Christians who want to share the truth about God with their Muslim friends understandably try to encourage them to read the Bible. Unfortunately, many Muslims believe that Jews and Christians have corrupted the books that God has given them. As a consequence, Muslims are hesitant about reading the Bible. Given this antagonism among a large percentage of Muslims towards Christianity in general and the Bible in particular, there is a need to pre...

Stendahl egyik regényében a fohos kívülrol megtanulta az egész Újszövetséget, és nagyon valószínu, hogy ezt tették a korai keresztények is. Andrew Page azt állítja, hogy ha nem is az egész Újszövetséget, de legalábbis Márk evangéliumát egy egyszeru módszerrel mindenki képes rövid ido alatt elsajátítani. Az evangélium hat szakasza közül bármelyiket tíz perc alatt (!) meg lehet tanulni, ha nem arra törekszünk, hogy szó szerint mindent megjegyezz...

Jährlich bleiben über 250.000 Schüler sitzen, 100.000 machen keinen Schulabschluss, mehr als 3 Milliarden Euro geben frustrierte Eltern pro Jahr für Nachhilfe aus - der zweite Bildungsmarkt boomt, weil der erste in der Krise ist: Die Schüler sind überfordert, unterfordert oder aggressiv, die Lehrer gestresst und frühpensioniert. Konsequent alternative und erfolgreiche Lernmodelle wie das Homeschooling werden mit Prozessen, Polizei und Sorgerec...

Gesundheit und Krankheit sind ein menschliches Grundthema. In der weltweiten Christenheit ist es von daher selbstverständlich, bei Krankheit um Heilung zu beten. In Deutschland begegnen wir dem Phänomen Heilung durch Gebet eher ratlos bis skeptisch. Hier können Impulse aus der Zwei-Drittel-Welt helfen, eigene Zugänge zum Heilungsgebet zu entwickeln. Dazu werden zunächst die theologisch-biblischen Grundlagen geklärt. Es folgt ein Einblick in di...
