 Free Download Offering Christ : John Wesley's Evangelistic Vision By Jack Jackson 2017 | 177 Pages | ISBN: 1501814222 | EPUB | 1 MB After decades of conversation serving up a mosaic of understandings of Wesleyan evangelism (focusing on proclamation, initiation, and embodiment), Jack Jackson offers a clearer portrait of Wesley's evangelistic vision, understood through the lens of "offering grace." Any discussion of Wesley's vision of evangelism must center on the proclamation of the story of God in Christ. But for John Wesley evangelism was much more than preaching for conversion. This book offers a fresh conception of Wesley's evangelistic vision by analyzing his method of gospel proclamation. Wesley was not constrained by the truncated vision of evangelism that has been dominant since the late nineteenth century, one that all too often centers on group preaching with a sole emphasis on conversion. Rather, he stressed a number of practices that focus on a verbal proclamation of the gospel. These practices occur in a variety of settings, only one of which is public preaching, and result in a number of responses, only one of which is conversion. Of crucial importance for current theological students, clergy, and church leaders around the world, the book demonstrates that visitation, for the purpose of spiritual direction and evangelism, was in many ways the critical leadership and pastoral practice of early British Methodism. This book offers important insights into early Methodism that inform both contemporary practices of evangelism and Christian leadership for both clergy and laity.  Free Download Of Memory and Literary Form : Making the Early Modern English Nation By Kyle Pivetti 2015 | 199 Pages | ISBN: 161149558X | EPUB | 1 MB This book opens with a crisis of recollection. In the early modern period, real political traumas like civil war and regicide exacerbated what were already perceived ruptures in myths of English descent. William Camden and other scholars had revealed that the facts of history could not justify the Arthurian myths, nor could history itself guarantee any moment of collective origin for the English people. Yet poets and playwrights concerned with the status of the emerging nation state did not respond with new material evidence. Instead, they turned to the literary structures that-through a range of what the author calls mnemonic effects-could generate the experience of a collective past. As Sir Philip Sidney recognized, verse depends upon the repetitions of rhyme and meter; consequently poetry "far exceedeth prose in the knitting up of memory." These poetic and linguistic forms expose national memory as a construction at potential odds with history, for memory operates like language-through a series of signifiers that acquire new meaning as one rearranges and rereads them. Moving from the tragedy Gorboduc (1561) to Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel (1681), Pivetti shows how such "knitting up of memory" created the shared pasts that generate nationhood. His work implies that memory emerges not from what actually occurred, but from the forms that compose it. Or to adapt the words of Paul Ricoeur: "we have nothing better than memory to signify that something has taken place." The same is true even when that "something" is nationhood.

Free Download Object Lifetime Puzzlers: 128 FUN Puzzles by Jason Turner English | January 5, 2025 | ISBN: B0DSB2B2C7 | 237 pages | PDF, EPUB | 6.35 Mb Note: The puzzles are printed in black and white to make sure the book is affordable. This does not affect the playability of the puzzles. The "look inside" feature may show you color, but that is an error in the look inside feature.  Free Download Nurture in Time and Eternity By Robert Cummings Neville 2016 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 1498286216 | EPUB | 1 MB The dimension of eternity has been lost from much contemporary religious consciousness. Liberals tend to focus on action within time, as do conservatives, who see history as a battleground for a war of good against evil. Spiritual life, however, also requires nurturing a sense of eternity within time. These sermons from Marsh Chapel at Boston University follow the lectionary in highlighting the places of temporal life within eternity, and the places eternity is found in temporal life. The liturgical year is employed as the venue for articulating a comprehensive theology on the themes of the temporal and eternal aspects of Christian nurture.  Free Download Numerical Results by Alexander Apelblat English | April 20, 2020 | ISBN: 3110681633 | MOBI | 6.72 Mb Bessel functions have the peculiarity of being functions of two independent variables: argument and order. They have been studied extensively because of their countless applications, but the vast majority of available literature is devoted to the case of fixed order, variable argument. This two-volume work explores the opposite case.

Free Download Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation by Jack Spencer, Stephen Moore English | November 21, 2024 | ISBN: 088890357X | 222 pages | PDF | 2.80 Mb Skyrocketing energy prices are placing downward pressure on economic growth throughout the world. There seems to be no relief in sight, with hundreds of millions without access to reliable energy and with global energy consumption expected to grow by 50 percent over the next 30 years. Some would impose energy rationing―or in other words, slow human progress. But with nearly 46 percent of the world's population living on less than $5.50 per day, slowing human progress is unacceptable.
