Read Mark Learn: Romans


Book Description

"It is impossible to read or to meditate on this letter too much or too well. The more one deals with it, the more precious it becomes and the better it tastes." Martin Luther Read / Mark / Learn is a small group Bible study series that is designed to equip people to study God's Word for themselves - and in studying it, know God's purpose for their lives. Each study establishes: the context, aim and structure of the passage; links with the Old Testament; lessons from each part of the passage - highlighting key issues; practical applications and suggestions. Each section also includes conversational discussion starters and suggested questions for leading a Bible study. There is also a section for photocopying for group members to pre-prepare for each study. Read / Mark / Learn has been established for over 30 years and has proved, internationally, to be a successful way to hold satisfying and enjoyable group Bible studies. It has been developed by one of London's leading churches, St Helen's, Bishopsgate.










Glorious Temples or Babylonic Whores


Book Description

In Glorious Temples or Babylonic Whores, Anne-Françoise Morel offers an account of the intellectual and cultural history of places of worship in Stuart England. Official documents issued by the Church of England rarely addressed issues regarding the status, function, use, and design of churches; but consecration sermons turn time and again to the conditions and qualities befitting a place of worship in Post-Reformation England. Placing the church building directly in the midst of the heated discussions on the polity and ceremonies of the Church of England, this book recovers a vital lost area of architectural discourse. It demonstrates that the religious principles of church building were enhanced by, and contributed to, scientific developments in fields outside the realm of religion, such as epistemology, the theory of sense perception, aesthetics, rhetoric, antiquarianism, and architecture.
