The Priesthood of All Students
Drawing on archival records and firsthand accounts, this work explores the history, theology, and missiology of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES). It examines how IFES’s commitment to immediacy, mediation, and participation are grounded upon a firm belief in the priesthood of all believers and a missional ecclesiology that presupposes God’s involvement in all aspects of life, including the university. It traces the impact of diverse cultures and theologies upon the manifold expressions of mission IFES has engaged, and the role of IFES in extending the presence of God’s people in places, and among ideologies, where traditional church structures have limited access. This book is a powerful reminder of the transformative impact created when believers, whether students or otherwise, participate in the missio Dei as faithful and creative witnesses in their own contexts. Bearing relevance for all those interested in a Christian perspective on the university or the theological reverberations of student ministry, it also offers a robust theological framework for understanding the legitimacy of parachurch organizations and lay ministry.
Luther's Theology of the Cross
Luther was fundamentally a preacher-pastor, “a care-taker of souls,” whose ingenuity lies in his usage of the biblical message as a source of pastoral encouragement. This book seeks to capture the often-overlooked pastoral side of the Reformer through an examination of his sermons on John’s gospel. The sermons on John show the intrinsic, close, and causal link between doctrine and consolation. They are an exercise of his vocation as a pastor, or more precisely, as a theologian of the cross who seeks to inculcate the good news of justification by faith in his people, leading them to experience it within the dialectic of law and gospel. St. John, said Luther, “is the master in the article of justification.” Luther’s theological method, namely, his theology of the cross, permeates and governs the exposition of the text, and all major themes of his theology— Christology, Trinity, and soteriology—appear in his exegesis of John.
Seeking Reconciliation in a Context of Coloniality
How do white people handle their own dominance while striving for racial reconciliation in a concrete church context in Cape Town? Persisting effects of colonialism present a challenge to reconciliation efforts in settler-colonial societies. This book draws particular attention to the coloniality of knowledge in multicultural churches and denominations. Despite its ability to connect, English is here regarded as an obstacle to deeper cross-cultural understanding and appreciation. The findings of this ethnographic study reveal how – motivated by a ‘Hope for transformation from within’ – racial integration often took precedence over equity. Eurocentric leanings were found to be both ac...
Le sacerdoce de tous les étudiants
S’appuyant sur des archives et des témoignages de première main, cet ouvrage explore l’histoire, la théologie et la missiologie de l’International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), aussi connue sous le nom d’Union Internationale des Groupes Bibliques Universitaires.

Il retrace l’impact des diverses cultures et théologies sur les m...

Luces en el campus
LA POLICÍA SECRETA INTERRUMPE UNA ACTIVIDAD EN UN RESTAURANTE DE EUROPA DEL ESTE. EN UNA CIUDAD DE GUATEMALA UNA EXPOSICIÓN DE ARTE CONFRONTA LA INJUSTICIA PERPETRADA POR LAS BANDAS CALLEJERAS Y EL PROPIO GOBIERNO. LAS ISLAS SALOMÓN, DONDE NO HABÍA UN MOVIMIENTO DE ESTUDIANTES CRISTIANOS, VEN NACER LA OBRA ESTUDIANTIL. Todo esto surge del trabajo de estudiantes, de jóvenes con la misma edad que tenían los discípulos cuando Jesús delegó en ellos su ministerio. Más allá de ser un libro sobre la misión en las universidades e institutos, Luces en el campus inspirará a cualquier líder cristiano, animándole a asumir riesgos por el reino en su propio contexto, y mostrándole de qué forma los estudiantes y los jóvenes pueden ser catalizadores del cambio en nuestro mundo.
Convention européenne des droits de l'homme (CEDH)
La Convention européenne des droits de l'homme (CEDH) forme aujourd'hui une source incontournable du droit public, mais elle influence aussi, de plus en plus, le droit privé. Préfacé par le Président de la CourEDH, ce Commentaire pratique traite en profondeur, mais de façon synthétique, des droits et libertés garantis par la CEDH (art. 1 à 18). Il se caractérise par : - la volonté de dire l'état du droit, aujourd'hui, dans des termes clairs et concis ; - une analyse approfondie de la jurisprudence (plus de 2'000 arrêts cités) ; - un souci du praticien : l'ouvrage contient un index détaillé, des citations utiles ainsi que des bibliographies spécifiques ; - un effort marqué de structuration afin de faciliter la recherche des informations ; - la prise en compte de la jurisprudence portant tant sur les pays d'Europe occidentale, d'Europe centrale que d'Europe de l'Est. De fait, ce Commentaire vient combler une lacune de la doctrine francophone, la forme du Commentaire ayant été quelque peu délaissée ces dernières années.
