Bo Giertz takes the reader on a guided tour of the gospels using the culture and historical context of Christ's life with a novel approach that illuminates nuance and deepens understanding of Christ's words and actions.
Fans of The Hammer of God and With My Own Eyes will enjoy this devotional commentary on Romans from Pastor, Bo Giertz. The beloved 20th-century bishop takes readers through Paul's letter to the Romans; pointing to God's grace in Christ and forgiveness for the sinner at every turn. Known as the "C.S. Lewis of Sweden," Bo Giertz, unerringly reveals the fountain of good news in every Romans passage. Giertz delivers part commentary by thoroughly dissecting each passage, and part devotional as he keenly directs readers to comforts won for them by Christ crucified in all His saving glory.
"The Church, who is she?" asks Bo Giertz in this book, which, he adds, "is first of all for those who have some notion of the life which is present within the church walls and also have some desire to understand that life better and know more about it." If you're among the tens of thousands who've read Giertz's bestselling novel The Hammer of God about ordinary people in their relation to the Church and her message, then you know his ability to engage you in the dramatic events of everyday life. Giertz shows the same engaging ability, when he in Christ's Church takes you on a walk from her biblical roots toward her glorious future.
Bible commentaries are rarely so brief, and even more rarely so insightful or helpful. Bo Giertz's trilogy of New Testament commentaries read as short devotions that not only give the reader a better understanding of the factual context in which these Scriptures were written, but also how they apply to people in their everyday lives. Moving passage by passage, Giertz brings the law to bear in soul searching simplicity before preaching Christ and him crucified for the forgiveness of sins to all who have ears to hear. This first volume covers the synoptic gospels, highlighting the unique perspective that Matthew, Mark, and Luke bring to us about the earthly life of Jesus. Each section begins with a brief introduction to the book, its author, and its place in history. The subsequent chapters each focus on a single pericope, bursting with gospel insights that will enrich the faith of the pastor and the layman alike.
Bo Giertz preaches to preachers in a series of ordination sermons and clearly demonstrates the concern for the care of souls that endeared him to faithful laypeople and clergy alike in a collection of essays on pastoral theology. Capably translated and packed with theological and devotional treasures, this work is a substantive contribution to the English corpus of the Swedish bishop's thought and work, edifying for both shepherds and sheep.
This first volume in A Year of Grace is a collection of Bo Giertz's sermons from the first half of the church year (Advent to Pentecost.) Throughout, he masterfully applies the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith alone to unbelievers, new believers, and those who have been Christians their whole life.
