Christian Life
關於這本有聲書
What is the Christian life? What does it mean to live life in Christ?
In this volume in Zondervan Academic's New Studies in Dogmatics series, theologian Kelly M. Kapic reflects on the Christian life: its foundation, its nourishment, and its goal.
Kapic contends that the Christian life is, first and foremost, one that is lived in response to the love of the triune God. It thus flows from God toward us, and we are then drawn back into communion with God. As those united to God through Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, Christians are enabled to respond to God's love. Shaped further by the community of faith, especially through corporate worship, Christians thus participate in this love of God and neighbor. What is true of the whole discipline of theology is thus reflected in the Christian life: Christ is its foundation, Christ is its source of nourishment, and Christ is its goal.
New Studies in Dogmatics seeks to retrieve the riches of Christian doctrine for the sake of contemporary theological renewal. Following in the tradition of G. C. Berkouwer's Studies in Dogmatics, this series will provide thoughtful, concise, and readable treatments of major theological topics, expressing the biblical, creedal, and confessional shape of Christian doctrine for a contemporary evangelical audience. The editors and contributors share a common conviction that the way forward in constructive systematic theology lies in building upon the foundations laid in the church's historic understanding of the Word of God as professed in its creeds, councils, and confessions, and by its most trusted teachers. This volume presents a dogmatic account of the Christian life.
