Authority in the Christian Life
"Berthoud's book on authority is like cold water splashed on the face-shocking, awakening, and cleansing. Whether addressing authority in the state, the church, or the family, Berthoud brings the water of the Word with bold clarity. One need not agree with every detail of his vision to benefit from this call to uncompromised submission to God's authority, which is the root of all authority." --Dr. Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids Authority in the Christian Life examines the definition, distinction, and necessary conditions for the just exercise of power from a biblical perspective. Probing the origin and purpose of authority, Berthoud delineates t...
The Genevan Reformation and the American Founding
In this provocative study, David W. Hall argues that the American founders were more greatly influenced by Calvinism than contemporary scholars, and perhaps even the founders themselves, have understood. Calvinism's insistence on human rulers' tendency to err played a significant role in the founders' prescription of limited government and fed the distinctly American philosophy in which political freedom for citizens is held as the highest value. Hall's timely work countervails many scholars' doubt in the intellectual efficacy of religion by showing that religious teachings have led to such progressive ideals as American democracy and freedom.

Authority in the Christian Life
Authority in the Christian Life examines the definition, distinction, and necessary conditions for the just exercise of power from a biblical perspective. Probing the origin and purpose of authority, Berthoud delineates the various roles of the powers ordained by God and examines the jurisdictional bounds protecting the separation of powers. His insightful work deals with matters of crucial significance for the life of individuals and nations in the West. In confronting the issues of the day, Berthoud fearlessly addresses questions of authority, power, and force with penetrating biblical clarity and a clear-cut application to the contemporary world.
A New Reading of Jacques Ellul
This book presents an original and dynamic reading of the twentieth-century French sociologist and theological ethicist Jacques Ellul. Adopting Ellul’s use of ‘presence’ as a hermeneutical key to understanding his work, it examines the origins of Ellul’s approach to presence in his readings of Kierkegaard and the biblical book of Ecclesiastes, highlights the central structural role of presence in Ellul’s theological ethics, and elucidates a crucial turning point in Ellul’s theology following a personal crisis in Ellul’s faith and life. Drawing from numerous unpublished and untranslated texts, Jacob Marques Rollison argues that this crisis involves confrontation with a critique ...

LE JOUR DES PETITS RECOMMENCEMENTS
Le jour des petits recommencements de Pierre Courthial (1914-2009), livre écrit à plus de quatre-vingts ans, fut le fruit d'une longue méditation sur la Bible, la création et l'action de Dieu dans l'histoire. Ses trois parties, I. L'Ancien Ordre du Monde; II. Le Tournant des Âges (1 à 70) et III. Le Nouvel Ordre du Monde, nous présentent l'histoire des rapports de Dieu avec le peuple de son Alliance, Ancienne et Nouvelle. Il s'agit de trois Sommes: de Théologie biblique, d'Histoire de l'Église et d'Apologétique; d'un modèle d'une écriture liturgique fondée sur la méditation du détail de la Bible; d'un traité sur le rapport de la Loi et de l'Évangile; et d'une lecture de l'Écriture qui tient ensemble tous les éléments de la Règle de la Foi chrétienne pour la seule gloire de Dieu, Père, Fils et Saint-Esprit. Nous avons ajouté en une quatrième partie cinq textes qui cherchent à rendre plus accessible au lecteur la profondeur théologique de cette oeuvre et sa grande beauté littéraire.
Children of God
Calvin hatte großes Interesse daran, was die Bibel über den Menschen lehrt, wer er ist, was er tut, was seine Rolle und Verantwortung in der Welt ist. Vom Gottesverständnis, so Johannes Calvin, lasse sich auf ein adäquates Verständnis des Menschen schließen, denn dieser sei in Gottes Ebenbild geschaffen. Geht man Calvins Verständnis von Gott näher auf den Grund, darf eine Berücksichtigung des historischen Kontextes, in dessen Rahmen sein imago Dei entstanden ist, nicht fehlen. Jason Van Vliet bettet seine Überlegungen in die stark humanistisch geprägte Denkweise der Renaissance, seine Interaktion mit Philipp Melanchthon und seine Auseinandersetzung mit Andreas Osiander ein und kommt schließlich zu einer genauen Profilierung des imago Dei des Johannes Calvin.
