REDISCOVERING CHRISTIANITY IBD

Sinopse

This adaptation of Johann Arndt?s True Christianity is a powerful and eye-opening insight into the early Protestant faith. First published in 1605, True Christianity became, after the Bible, the most widely read and influential book in Protestantism in its day and was translated into thirty different languages. It systematically explains the basic principles of the redemption of man using simple logic and vivid language free from clichés. Beginning at the garden of Eden, it reveals: the effects of the Fall, the reason for the incarnation and suffering of Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, the operation of God?s grace, and what it means to be a true disciple of Christ. It captures the faith and original spirit of Christianity, not as a set of theological assertions or doctrines to be believed, but as a deep and living experience. Its fervent call to true Godliness has guided untold thousands of wandering sheep to the heavenly fold. If you are also lost in the confusing and contradictory darkness of modern religion, this book will inspire you with the 'faith once delivered to the saints.' The faith that today has largely faded into the mists of time, its once-vibrant essence now reduced to a faint whisper, displaced by theological, humanistic and psychological progressivism.This work is abridged and restructured, in modern English, from Charles F. Schaeffer?s 1868 revision of Rev. A. W. Boehm?s (1712) English translation, of True Christianity with some additional explanatory material.
