Найти книгу: "The New Creation"

Christianity is essentially a historical religion. It cannot be understood merely through a set of dogmas, a moral code, or a view of the universe. Through the stories of Israel, Jesus, and the developing church, Christianity acknowledges the revelation of God in action. Augustine, the great medieval theologian, envisioned human society as composed of two «cities,» distinguished by two loves: the love of God and the love of Self. He viewed these cities as universal in scope and operative throughout human history. This perspective raises questions about the church's nature, its role in society, and whether the church has lived up to its nature and destiny as God's new creation. The New Creation defines the church as «the people of God,» related but not equivalent to Israel or the institutional church. This text provides a clear and concise survey of the church as God's instrument for the providential care of the earth and its human family. The story of the church begins with Abraham in the second millennium BCE, long before Jesus or the birth of Christianity, and it proceeds through three epochs: 1.Formation (c. 1850-4 BCE), 2.Transformation (4 BCE-1500 CE), and 3.Reformation (1500 CE-present). Ideal for individual or group study, The New Creation divides church history into nine units, each discussed as a phase in the church's organic growth and development. In addition to the narrative, each chapter includes three features for that epoch of church history: 1) a significant event, 2) a turning point or decisive moment, and 3) study questions.

It seems a perfectly normal watch, although it is showing the wrong time. When he accidentally drops it in the coffee shop, something happens! The coldness arises and he relives a few seconds of that moment twice. The time on the watch had changed. Does the watch really show the wrong time? Or is it the only „right time” in the world? Who`s watch is it?These questions drive young Joshua to find answers.In passing days, when he tries to grab on to the normal school-life that he used to believe was everything real in the world for him, he suddenly meets a mystical young woman, arriving with the eclipse. With her beautiful brown hair and unexampled gloomy amulet, she grabs him, pushing him against the wall, telling him that she is from the Coven sent to protect him and that she is called sister Kayden. She tells him that there are people after him, dark people with unnatural power, to claim the Watch – the Seventh Word of Creation – for their own, and suggesting him to run!…
