Bøger af Gordon T. Borden

The author looks at several significant aspects of the Christian faith that are crucial to understanding one's relationship with Jesus Christ and how the Scriptures testify of Him. Beginning by explaining the work of Christ in the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper, aspects of the Gospels, he next addresses the importance of the Book of Acts in making a transition from Jesus' words to the epistles and in comprehending the birth of the Church. He then provides a glimpse of the biblical covenant in nuptial terms, followed by demonstrating how the Gospel is, ultimately, the message of the Old Testament, and how Jesus is the fulfillment of the priestly office of the long-awaited Messiah. In the last two chapters, he moves on to practical life issues by describing the spirituality of different faith traditions and comparing two major declarations of the Faith . . . once delivered.
