Christopher J. H. Wright Knihy

Interaktivní křesťanská učebnice etiky pro mládež od jednoho z předních současných odborníků na Starý Zákon Christophera Wrighta. Kniha probírá klasické oblasti etiky, se zaměřením na mladé lidi (morální bludiště, vzpoura, láska, odpuštění). Nevyhýbá se ani složitým otázkám (utrpení, potrat, smrt) a probírá i ryze současné problémy (zvířata, záchrana planety, peníze). Dává mladým lidem možnost přemýšlet nad životními situacemi z křesťanského pohledu, nikoliv pouze přebírat znalosti zkušenějších. Klade otázky: Je to správné? Je to zákonné? Je to riskantní? Je to zábava? Jednotlivé kapitoly knihy jsou doplněny o obrázky a zarámované texty k zamyšlení, úryvky z novin a deníky mládeže, otázky, o oddíly z Bible a rozličná shrnutí. Ke knize je připojen metodický materiál pro učitele a pracovní listy, se kterými student může pracovat.

Some people find the Old Testament to be confusing, out of date, and essentially replaced by the New Testament. They are missing out. The Old Testament offers us a grand narrative that reveals God's work, God's purposes, and God's wisdom.Christopher J. H. Wright fits the pieces together and shows us the coherent whole. Using seven key sentences drawn straight from the Old Testament, he connects the dots and points us toward Jesus.• "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."• "All peoples on earth will be blessed through you."• "You shall have no other gods before me."• "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news."Such sentences as these are not merely beautiful or helpful (though they are that). They are part of the great drama of Scripture, the story of God's plan of redemption that embraces all nations and the whole of his creation. Wright starts from the beginning, describing God's promises and covenants with his people and his mission to bless the world. At the end of this short survey, readers will clearly see God's faithfulness and love for his people and will understand how the Old Testament scriptures prepared for the identity and mission of Jesus as Messiah, Savior, and Lord.

We first meet the Holy Spirit in the second verse of the Bible, hovering there, speaking the world into existence. Christopher Wright begins here and traces the Holy Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament. He shows that the Spirit is knowable, and that the Spirit empowers God's people and sustains the earth.

If we are honest, we have to admit that there are many things we don’t understand about God. We do not have final answers to the deep problems of life, and those who say they do are probably living in some degree of delusion. There are areas of mystery in our Christian faith that lie beyond the keenest scholarship or even the most profound spiritual exercises. For many people, these problems raise so many questions and uncertainties that faith itself becomes a struggle, and the very person and character of God are called into question. Chris Wright encourages us to face up to the limitations of our understanding and to acknowledge the pain and grief they can often cause. But at the same time, he wants us to be able to say, like the psalmist in Psalm 73: “But that’s all right. God is ultimately in charge and I can trust him to put things right. Meanwhile, I will stay near to my God, make him my refuge, and go on telling of his deeds.”
