The Protestant Faith

By: George Wolfgang Forell

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This new edition of a standard text describes lucidly and comprehensively the "classical Protestant faith" with the help of illustrations drawn from contemporary life. It does not assume previous knowledge yet does not avoid the more complex issues in Christian theology, such as the theories of the atonement or the doctrine of the trinity.In eight chapters the author explains, against many current misunderstandings, what Christians mean by faith. He describes the nature of revelation and the God who has revealed himself -- and what this means for an understanding of the world and the human condition in this world. This is followed by an explanation of the doctrine of Christ, his humanity and divinity, and his work on behalf of the human race.Professor Forell concludes with an explanation of the work of the Holy Spirit through the church by means of word and sacrament and details the Christian hope for the coming kingdom of God. The Protestant Faith has a valuable appendix which makes available the universal Christian creeds and confessional statements, and adds to its appeal as a text and reference manual.

Faith Active in Love

By: George Forell

In the extensiveness of the resources consulted and in the depth of insight into Luther's own thought which is here revealed, Dr. Forell's work compares very favorably with anything that has been produced on the subject by European scholarship. It is the most solid and genuine piece of Luther research that has come out in this country to my knowledge." - Edgar M. Carlson, Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minn. "The book is especially notable for its balanced judgment and objectivity. Prof. Forell attempts no whitewash, but notes Luther's personal and historical limitations at the same time as he indicates the enduringly valid principles of his ethical thought." - Warren A. Quanbeck, Luther Theological Seminary. St. Paul, Minn. "This is a significant contribution toward a classification of Luther's social ethics. It convincingly refutes both of the divergent tendencies which assert 'that Luther had no social ethics at all, since he placed society outside of the Christian Gospel, or that his social ethics was purely pragmatic, accepting the social order of his day and thus helping to bring about the growth of capitalism and nationalism.'" - Martin Heinecken, The Lutheran Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, PA "This is a book which should be in every Lutheran pastor's personal library and in every Lutheran parish library. As a matter of public relations, parochial, circuit , and district public relations committees should ensure that it finds a place on the shelves of public libraries and college and university libraries as a salutary corrective to the conventional misrepresentations of Luther's ethical principles." - Arthur Carl Piepkorn, Concordia Theological Seminary, St. Louis, MO.

Religion, Politics and Thomas Hobbes

By: George Wright

The essaysthat comprise thisvolume were written over the period of some ten years, for different purposes and on different occasions, but they are unitedby a number of features, which this preface may serve to indicate. While the collection begins with a translation drawn from the fourth p- sentation of Hobbes’s political thought, namely, the Latin Leviathan of 1668, after The Elements of Law (1640), De Cive (1642 and 1647) and the English Leviathan of 1651, the focus of the essays is largely on theEnglish version of his masterpiece of political philosophy. It isthe center of gravityinthe twenty eight years spanninghis departure from England for exile in France in 1640 till the publication in 1668 of the Latin Leviathan,withits lengthy and c- plex Appendix. The translation andintroduction of theAppendix, previously published,appears here with several revisions and additions, as does the essay ‘Thomas Hobbes and the EconomicTrinity. ’ A second feature common to these essays isthe deliberate attempttomake sense of thereligious elements inHobbes’s thought, bothintheir own rightand inrelation to his politics and natural science. These themes are woven together in complex ways. For instance, objecting to the use of Greek philosophic language and concepts to interpret the doctrines of the Christian religion, he propounds what he takes to be a more thoroughly scriptural interpretation, in pursuit of the goal of demolishing the basis for anypower inthe state independent of thecivil sovereign.

Ethics of Decision

An Introduction to Christian Ethics

By: George Forell

The objective of this short introduction to Christian ethics is to help the reader come to a clearer understanding of the Christian life in our age. For this reason Christianity is presented against the background and within the context of other present-day efforts to understand the meaning of life. Whether he likes it or not, man must make decisions. He cannot choose not to choose. He must find some principle that will enable him to live coherent life, an integrating principle that will determine his ethical code.
