From the beginning of December, 1856, to the autumn of 1862 I was resident with my family in the city of Munich, Bavaria, and witnessed some exciting occurrences there, an account of which may be of interest to the readers of Professor Beyschlag’s article on “The Old Catholic Movement,” pp....

The Spanish Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage rooted in the Medieval period and increasingly active today, has attracted a growing amount of both scholarly and popular attention. With its multiple points of departure in Spain and other European countries, its simultaneously secular and religious nature,...

Let us begin with a clear understanding both of the problem before us and of the limits of our difference one from another. The great outstanding evil is the widespread refusal of parenthood among all classes except the one where it is least to be desired. England, like France, is choosing the path...

The aim of this series of commentaries is to explain the Revised Version for young students, and at the same time to present, in a simple form, the main results of the best scholarship of the day.   The General Editor has confined himself to supervision and suggestion. The writer is,...

WITHIN the last twenty years the book of Genesis has come very prominently into view, as the starting-point of numerous discussions. Science and history have combined to lead us back to it.

Our Bible is of God; yet it is also of man. It is both divine and human. It comes to us from God’s Spirit; it comes also from man’s spirit. It is written in the language of earth, yet its words are the words of Him “who speaketh from heaven.” Natural, yet supernatural; simple, yet profound;...

"Thoughts are things, and they shape our lives." This quirky, candid, and totally useful book helps us vocalize what we want and manifest it. Carole Lynne created the affirmations, prayers, and chants in this book and CD so that we might "create the sound of the life we want." Readers will turn to Heart...

Although numerous studies have examined biblical and theological rationales for using the visual arts in worship, this book by Lisa J. DeBoer fills in a piece of the picture missing so far — the social dimensions of both our churches and the various art worlds represented in our congregations.   The...

I Know: A Nativity Story contains four brief devotionals, each told from the perspective of individuals who witnessed the Advent of Jesus Christ. Author’s disclaimer: We know very little about the events of the Nativity. For example, the entire journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem and the actual...

It is not my intention in this brief note to discuss the fact of Peter’s presence in Rome. That he found his way thither in the latter part of his life, and met his death there, is now so generally recognized among scholars that it would be gratuitous to argue the matter. But though the fact itself...

SOME will have it, that all philosophy is vain; and that the time bestowed upon it, in our colleges and elsewhere, is only wasted, or worse than wasted in the pursuit of a phantom that can never be reached, while it leads us away continually from the proper use of life. What men need in this world,...

There are few subjects which have given rise to more difficulty and perplexity than that of regeneration, or the new birth. Very many who are themselves the subjects of this new birth are at a loss to know what it is, and filled with doubt as to whether they have ever really experienced it. Many there...

Paul, though it is convenient to continue to use the title. It is either...
