Böcker av Kenneth Stevenson

The books of Ezekiel and Daniel are rich in imagery that is taken up afresh in the New Testament. It is no wonder these books, despite the difficulties in interpreting them, took hold on the imagination of the early church. In this ACCS volume, over forty church fathers are cited and four extant works are included, providing a wealth of insight.

As today's church re-examines the theology of baptism, the appropriateness of the rite and its relevance to a secular society we realise that the wisdom of the great seventeeth- century divines still has a vital significance today.

The Rite of Marriage

Harnesses biblical, pastoral, historical and liturgical insights, exploring the significance of the different versions of the Lord's Prayer, the shape of the prayer, its varied uses in public worship and private devotion, its summary of the gospel.

Features essays that are worked examples of the importance of interpretation and liturgy, particularly in the light of the growing impact of reception-history, and how this interacts not only with biblical scholarship but with worship and doctrine as well.

An historical survey of the role of the Lord's prayer throughout the history of the Church's thought and its worship. This study surveys the contributions of biblical scholars and theologians from the Early Fathers to the modern day, from Eastern and Western traditions and from Catholic and Reformed, Enlightenment and Modernist sources.
