We live amid increasing ethical plurality and fragmentation while at the same time more and more questions of moral gravity confront us. Some of these questions are new, such as those around human cloning and genetics. Other questions that were previously settled have re-emerged, such as those around the place of religion in politics. Responses to such questions are diverse, numerous and often vehemently contested. Hospitality as Holiness seeks to address the underlying question facing the church within contemporary moral debates: how should Christians relate to their neighbours when ethical disputes arise? The problems the book examines centre on what the nature and basis of Christian moral thought and action is, and in the contemporary context, whether moral disputes may be resolved with those who do not share the same framework as Christians. Bretherton establishes a model - that of hospitality - for how Christians and non-Christians can relate to each other amid moral diversity. This book will appeal to those interested in the broad question of the relationship between reason, tradition, natural law and revelation in theology, and more specifically to those engaged with questions about plurality, tolerance and ethical conflict in Christian ethics and medical ethics.

I desire mercy, not sacrifice. Echoing Hosea, Jesus defends his embrace of the unclean in the Gospel of Matthew, seeming to privilege the prophetic call to justice over the Levitical pursuit of purity. And yet, as missional faith communities arewell aware, the tensions and conflicts between holiness and mercy are not so easily resolved. In an unprecedented fusion of psychological science and theological scholarship, Richard Beck describes the pernicious (and largely unnoticed) effects of the psychology of purity upon the life and mission of the church.

What happens when two bishops known for their liturgical sensibilities travel to study alternative Christian communities on two continents? Bishops Mary Gray-Reeves and Michael Perham traveled throughout the U.S. and U.K. to study fresh expressions of church and identify the principles that link these new forms of worship and community. The Hospitality of God captures their practical and inspiring findings and builds a bridge between fresh new voices and the institutional church.

The Holy Bible clearly teaches that God Almighty is "Righteous in all His ways and Holy in all His works" (Psalms 145:17). The Word of God makes it abundantly clear that "as he (God Almighty) which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy" (1 Peter 1:15(a)) "because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16). The Holy Bible is crystal clear (in Second Thessalonians 4:7) that every born again believer has been called unto "Holiness without which no man shall see The Lord" (Hebrews 12:14(b)). You (as a born again believer) have been called to serve The Lord in Righteousness and Holiness all the days of your life here on earth (Luke 1:74-75). Therefore, it's incumbent upon you to understand that when you are saved or born again (John 3:3-6), you are then to walk on "the way of Holiness" to Heaven (Isaiah 35:8) which, indeed, is the narrow way to Heaven: "13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" (Matthew 7:13-14). As you study this book, may you be among the few Righteous in these last days (Revelation 3:4) who are walking on the narrow way of Holiness to Heaven in The Mighty Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. This is Holiness Unto The Lord Study Text. It's Volume One in the Series. Understanding the Doctrines of Strategic Holiness. It's entitled: The Doctrines of Strategic Components of Holiness. In this Volume: Misconceptions concerning Holiness are explained, The Doctrine of Strategic Components of Holiness is examined, Satan's Deadly Strategic Doctrines (against Holiness) are briefly examined, The Doctrine of Strategic Components of Inner Holiness is stated, 20 Strategic Components of Inner Holiness are examined, The Doctrine of Strategic Components of Outer Holiness is stated, 40 Strategic Components of Outer Holiness are examined, and 60 Holiness Tests are stated. The Goal of this book is to prepare you for Heaven (Hebrews 12:14(b)). In this respect, our prayer is that after having studied it you shall repent and forsake unrighteousness and un-holiness and shall begin to serve Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ wholeheartedly in Righteousness and "Holiness without which no man shall see The Lord" (Hebrews 12:14(b)).

What did God use to draw a radical, committed unbeliever to himself? Did God take her to an evangelistic rally? Or, since she had her doctorate in literature, did he use something in print? No, God used an invitation to dinner in a modest home, from a humble couple who lived out the gospel daily, simply, and authentically. With this story of her conversion as a backdrop, Rosaria Butterfield invites us into her home to show us how God can use this same "radical, ordinary hospitality" to bring the gospel to our lost friends and neighbors. Such hospitality sees our homes as not our own, but as God's tools for the furtherance of his kingdom as we welcome those who look, think, believe, and act differently from us into our everyday, sometimes messy lives—helping them see what true Christian faith really looks like.

Are you growing in godliness? How would you know? A good place to begin is understanding and imitating the character qualifications the Bible lays out for elders. While elders are meant to exemplify these traits, all Christians are to display them. And, with just one exception, each of them is related to our moral character.

In this book the author contends that communal holiness is the central theme of the vine metaphor in John 15:1-17. Illumination of the Johannine vine metaphor is illustrated by drawing on background information on the vine and its metaphorical usage in the Ancient Near East, Old Testament, and Second Temple Period and to suggest understanding in light of the communal holiness of the covenant people of God. Comparing the themes of holiness and corporateness pertinent to the covenant the book also reflects the covenant with Israel in relation to John’s understanding of the people of God. The notion of covenant, which embraces reference to the people of God as vine/vineyard in the Old Testament and Second Temple Period, underlies John’s vine metaphor. The book focuses research on ANE viticulture to determine the context(s) of when the vine was used to refer to Israel in a covenant relationship with God. In this historical context the Johannine vine metaphor receive fresh meaning and relevance for the people of God.
