Holiness in a Restless World (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The Bible is filled with stories of wandering, restlessness, dispersion, and coming home--stories in which the people of God are looking for a place to belong in God's world even as they are also invited to welcome others into God's household. These themes are familiar to Christians today because some of us feel like prodigals and wanderers, not quite at home in the place where we find ourselves, yet called to create home for the outsiders around us. In Holiness in a Restless World, Joshua R. Sweeden and Nell M. Becker Sweeden explore the ways that Christians can pursue a holy life that is grounded in restfulness. When rest is absent from our lives, we can become unsettled and develop shortsighted notions about the nature of a holy life, but the Sweedens present holy rest as the bedrock for faithful Christian engagement with the world.
