Bøger af Arthur Michael Ramsey

Description:In this important and distinguished book, the former archbishop of Canterbury sets out to examine some of the contemporary theological trends--the concept of secular Christianity, the existentialist treatment of Christian doctrine, and some aspects of New Testament study. His conclusion is that while the historic faith of Christianity stands and it is more than ever necessary to assert its supernatural character, it is only possible to do so convincingly if we are ready to learn much from the contemporary conflicts. In particular, if we are to convey to secularism the belief in transcendence, it must be a transcendence realized in the midst of secular life, and not apart from it.What is written here shows how deeply the archbishop has meditated on recent theological developments, with results that are most encouraging. Those who feel that the churches are not sufficiently open to questioning may see that their problems are taken seriously, and thought through profoundly; those who are still hesitant to begin the process of questioning will find that it is possible to live with question and still hold faith.About the Contributor(s):Arthur Michael Ramsey, the 100th archbishop of Canterbury, was born in 1904, the son of Arthur Stanley Ramsey. He trained at Cuddesdon College Oxford and was ordained deacon in 1928 and priest a year later in 1929. In 1961 he became archbishop of Canterbury in succession to Geoffrey Fisher, his former headmaster.

Though the literature about Maurice is growing, I hope that the distinctive aim of this volume may give it a place within that literature. I have not attempted to provide a systematic account of Maurice's teaching, but to trace the theological conflicts which Maurice faced and to relate them to the chief theological tendencies of the last 150 years. I do not think that any previous attempt has been made to evaluate Maurice's teaching on Atonement and Sacrifice as a whole, or to examine his methods of Biblical exegesis in relation to subsequent trends of Biblical study. On no two subjects did Maurice more originally anticipate some of the theological work of the present day, and speak in a way which comes home to us with relevance and force.Arthur Michael Ramsey, the 100th Archbishop of Canterbury was born in 1904, the son of Arthur Stanley Ramsey.

First published in 1964 and reprinted several times since, the Archbishop's chapters were given in substance at a mission in the University of Oxford in 1960. Dr Ramsey has written a fresh preface and has expanded his remarks, originally limited by their form as mission addresses, in a number of places.

F. D. Maurice (1805-72) was a distinguished Christian theologian, much respected by academics and artists of his day and afterwards. This volume, originally published in 1951, contains the text of seven lectures delivered in his honour in 1942 and covers Maurice's career and his impact on later students of theology.
