Donald Macleod Knihy

Boh je jeden, pričom existuje v troch osobách. Na tejto doktríne je postavená viera všetkých kresťanov. Kritické hlasy tvrdia, že nikde v Písme sa o doktríne Božej Trojice priamo nehovorí. Ako cirkev dospela k poznaniu, že Boh existuje v troch osobách? Má učenie o Božej Trojici oporu v Písme? Prečo je učenie o Božej Trojici také dôležité? Má skutočnosť, že Boh je Trojica, nejaký vplyv na náš každodenný život? D. Macleod veľmi prístupnou formou vysvetľuje podstatu učenia o Božej Trojici. Uvádza príklady zo Starého i Nového zákona, keď sa Boh prejavoval v troch rôznych osobách a podrobne rozoberá miesta v Písme, ktoré o Božej Trojici učia. Citátmi zo spisov cirkevných otcov ukazuje, že porozumenie Bohu ako Trojici bolo prítomné už v ranej cirkvi a ako sa v zápasoch s heretikmi doktrína Trojice formovala až do podoby, ktorú poznáme dnes. Reaguje tiež na výhrady judaizmu, islamu, mormonizmu a Jehovových svedkov proti trojičnej doktríne. Veľká časť knihy sa zameriava na uplatňovanie viery v Boha ako Trojicu v našom každodennom živote. Prvé vydanie.

The Scottish church was forever altered by the arrival of the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Its legacy endured, and provoked a flurry of theological re-examinations which form the foundation for much of our modern understanding of Reformed Theology. In this informed and accessible historical study, Donald MacLeod, one of Scotland's current leading theologians, looks to the past to assess the impact of prominent theologians of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, always with an eye to demonstrating how their writings speak to contemporary challenges facing the Church today.

If we believe in God’s sovereign predestination, how can we offer Christ to sinners indiscriminately? How could someone who knew that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws them still plead with them to look to the Saviour? The Bible clearly entreats us to go after the lost, so Donald Macleod tackles the objections raised by those who argue that since there is no universal redemption there should be no universal gospel offer.

Renowned theologian and author, Donald Macleod explains controversial topics from the life of Christ with clarity and care. Staying true to the biblical text he points readers to reflect on the Saviour who has captivated his own heart and mind. This new edition includes 4 new chapters, originally published as articles on the Desiring God website.

C. Stacey Woods was a moving force in mid-century American evangelicalism. The Australian-born, Brethren-bred Woods came to Canada to head InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at the age of 24. He went on to become as well the first general secretary of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in the United States. He started the influential student magazine HIS in the early 1940s and was instrumental in the founding of the worldwide umbrella organization of indigenous student movements--the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students. His global vision inspired many of the most outstanding Christian leaders of the 1960s and 1970s from around the world. He was a brusque, outspoken entrepreneur whose whirlwind style achieved much but was not always suited to administration. A man of great strengths and weaknesses, perhaps his most striking achievement was challenging the anti-intellectualism of conservative American Christianity, encouraging an active engagement with the university. He confronted a fundamentalism that had abandoned to liberalism the very educational institutions its forebears had founded. Woods turned this approach on its head, encouraging active engagement with the students and faculty of the university as well as with the institution itself. This story is an important chapter in understanding the ways evangelicalism has interacted with culture in North America and around the world.

A 30th anniversary edition of a classic book on the Trinity by one of Britain's most prominent theologians. Donald Macleod argues that our understanding of the Trinity matters because 'it is the model for the way we should live, particularly in our relations with one another.' The relationship between Father, Son and Spirit is laid out in Scripture, and although fully grasping the concept of this divine mystery will always be beyond us, we can understand it better. It is critically important that we do, for if our understanding of God is wrong, it may lead to other wrong beliefs. Donald Macleod's faithful insight into what Scripture has to say about the Godhead is priceless, as relevant now as when it was first published. This 30th anniversary edition has been newly typeset and has a new cover, and will be an invaluable resource to a new generation of readers.

Donald Macleod is able to explain complex thoughts with simplicity and clarity. This is his contribution to the debate on Christology.
