Graham Tomlin Bücher

Der Geist der Fülle. Die Dreieinigkeit, die Kirche und die Zukunft der Welt widmet sich der Frage, was wir erwarten und erhoffen, ja, was es konkret bedeuten könnte, wenn wir die uralte Bitte „Komm, Heiliger Geist!“ beten. Graham Tomlin geht diesen Fragen in verschiedenen Lebensbezügen nach und skizziert die Bedeutung des Heiligen Geistes im Blick auf unsere Identität, unsere Berufung, unsere Erfahrung und unseren Charakter, mehr noch: Tomlin fragt weiter nach der Bedeutung des Geistes im Blick auf die Kirche, deren Mission und die Welt. Dabei wird immer wieder deutlich: Mit dem verändernden, erneuernden und belebenden Wesen und Wirken des Geistes ist uns selbst, ist der Kirche und ist vor allem der Welt Hoffnung geschenkt und Zukunft verheissen.

Das Luther-Buch des renommierten Oxforder Reformationswissenschaftlers zeichnet das Bild eines Menschen, der mit einigen der tiefsten aller menschlichen Fragen rang. Auf dem Wissensstand der heutigen historischen Forschung bietet Tomlins Buch eine zugängliche und ansprechende zeitgenössische Einführung in Martin Luthers Leben und Grundgedanken, aber auch in die Wirkungsgeschichte und Bedeutung seiner Person und Lehre für heute.

The Provocative Church offers a liberating understanding of evangelism as a corporate activity, in which all the gifts needed to enact the life of the Kingdom - to stir people into asking, 'What does this mean?' - are spread throughout the whole Church. It encourages the development of a theology of conversion.

Exploring the intersection of power and truth, this book delves into the church's historical dominance in Western society, questioning whether its influence stemmed from genuine truth or sheer power. It critically examines the church's past abuses of power during Christendom and challenges readers to consider if Christian theology can adequately address these critiques. Through this lens, the text invites a deeper reflection on the nature of faith and authority in a postmodern context.

Martin Luther was one of the most influential figures of the last millennium, with around 900 million people worldwide belonging to Protestant churches that trace their origins back to the Reformation he started five hundred years ago. His thinking and his writing were always original, fresh, controversial and provocative. They evoked strong reactions then, and still do today. This book offers an accessible way into that thinking by looking at the way he approached a wide range of issues in his own time, and how some of that thinking might give us new ways to approach contemporary issues. Examining his approach to topics such as sex, freedom, prayer, evil, pilgrimage and Bible translation, it illustrates vividly the mind of this man who was very much of his time, yet whose ideas still speak creatively to the modern world. It combines scholarly insight into some of the key issues surrounding the study of Luther today, while being written in a style that makes it accessible to the non-specialist. The result is a book that serves as an ideal handbook for those wishing to get inside the mind of this most remarkable man.
