A Treatise on Christian Liberty


Book Description

A Treatise on Christian Liberty is one of Martin Luther's major reforming treatises of 1520. It developed the concept that as fully forgiven children of God, Christians are no longer compelled to keep God's law; however, they freely and willingly serve God and their neighbors. Luther also further develops the concept of justification by faith. In the treatise, Luther stated, "A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to all."

Slavery, Terrorism and Islam - The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat


Book Description

Dr. Peter Hammond's bestselling book: SLAVERY, TERRORISM & ISLAM - The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat is a fascinating, well illustrated and thoroughly documented response to the relentless anti-Christian propaganda that has been generated by Muslim and Marxist groups and by Hollywood film makers. As Karl Marx declared: "The first battlefield is the re-writing of History!" Slavery, Terrorism and Islam was first published in 2005 and quickly sold out. It earned Dr. Peter Hammond a death threat "Fatwa" from some Islamic radicals. We have included the story of that in an appendix of this book. Slavery, Terrorism & Islam sets the record straight with chapters on "Muhammad, the Caliphas and Jihad", "The Oppression of Women in Islam", "The Sources of Islam" and "Slavery the Rest of the Story". With over 200 pictures, maps and charts, this book is richly illustrated. It consists of 16 chapters and 13 very helpful appendixes including demographic maps of the spread of Islam, a Glossary of Islamic Terms, a comparison of Muslim nations' military spending vs. their national prosperity, a chart on how Jihad works depending on the percentage of Muslims in the population and guidelines for Muslim evangelism.




A Treatise on Christian Liberty


Book Description

In Martin Luther's 'A Treatise on Christian Liberty,' the author presents a powerful theological and political argument for the freedom of the Christian believer. Written during the Protestant Reformation, this book explores the relationship between faith and works, grace, and the freedom that comes from being justified through faith. Luther's writing style is clear and direct, making complex theological concepts accessible to a wide audience. The book is considered a seminal work in Protestant theology and a key text in understanding the religious controversies of the time. Martin Luther, a German priest and theologian, wrote 'A Treatise on Christian Liberty' in 1520 in response to criticism from the Catholic Church. His personal struggle with the doctrine of justification by faith alone led him to write this passionate defense of Christian freedom. Luther's background as a monk and his study of the Bible influenced his views on salvation and the role of the church. I highly recommend 'A Treatise on Christian Liberty' to readers interested in theology, religious history, and the Protestant Reformation. This book provides valuable insights into the beliefs and motivations of Martin Luther and the impact of his ideas on Christianity.

Here you will find the essence of Reformation spirituality distilled into a guide for practical, biblical living. With the bold authority of a true prophet, Luther directs his message to the average Christian in clear, simple language. The doctrine of justification by grace through faith in Christ is the heart and soul of Luther's message, founded upon a firm conviction in the authority of Scripture.




Christian Liberty


Book Description

Taking the New Testament as the charter of Christian liberty, distinguished biblical scholar James D.G. Dunn approaches the complex subject of freedom from the perspective of Scripture in order to demonstrate what is distinctively 'Christian' liberty. After opening with an overview of the historical development of the concept of liberty, Dunn goes on to examine three scriptural test cases that help to elucidate the (often tense) relationship (1) between freedom and authority, as revealed in the responses of Jesus to the dominant conventions of his day, (2) between liberty and the self, derived from Paul's teaching about sin, death, and the law, and (3) between liberty and society, illustrated by a masterly exposition of Romans 14-15. In a day when the forces of fundamentalism are gathering strength once again on all sides, the theme of liberty, and not least 'Christian' liberty, is one that demands attention. This study shows that the freedom of Jesus is something no Christian need fear, that liberty is not a threat to faith but one of its prime expressions.
