The Fatherhood of God in John Calvin's Thought


Book Description

Against the backdrop of feminist critique, Karin Spiecker Stetina gives us a thorough study of John Calvin's ideas on the fatherhood of God. After looking briefly at Calvin's own experience of fatherhood, the author looks in depth at his epistemology and then his imagery for God as Father against the background of the biblical and historical doctrine. This intriguing study allows us, through the lens of the reformer's theology, to look again at what we mean by God as Father and believers as sons and daughters of the living God.







The Baptist System Examined, The Church Vindicated and Sectarianism Rebuked - A Review of "Fuller on Baptism and the Terms of Communion."


Book Description

First published in 1854, this volume by Joseph Seiss contains a treatise on the subject of baptism, originally taken from the "Lutheran Observer". Contents include: "Subject of the Review described, and the Baptist system stated", "General Considerations against it", "Baptizo not a stronger word that Bapto", "Explanations, a digression", "Immersion not the only meaning of Baptizo", "Passages relied on by Baptists to prove that Baptizo means total immersion and nothing else", etc. Joseph Augustus Seiss (March 18, 1823 - June 20, 1904) was an American theologian and Lutheran minister most famous for his contributions to the fields of pyramidology and dispensationalism. His best-known work is "The Great Pyramid of Egypt, Miracle in Stone: Secrets and Advanced Knowledge" (1877), considered a primary text of pyramidology. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
