Reseña del libro "Vital Truth: The Convictions of the Christian Community (en Inglés)"
In this book Nigel Wright brings together the two concerns that have defined his ministry: the formation of healthy congregational life on the one side, and the considered articulation of Christian convictions on the other. In the belief that these two concerns are intimately related, he sets out the range of Christian convictions in a way intended to be accessible to church members who wish to clarify and deepen their understanding. The book is rooted in the belief that the resurrection of Christ is the central reality out of which all other Christian convictions emerge. Beginning at this point and in the belief that Christ is present in the community of believers, the book then explores Christian convictions about God, Christology, creation, salvation, election, evil, eschatology, and witness to the world. ""The experience of a creative theologian, teacher, and pastor are clearly on view in this theologically rich account of the core convictions of the Christian community. Profoundly and imaginatively written, yet eminently accessible, this volume will be a wonderful resource for those who wish to go deeper in their understanding of core Christian doctrines."" --Dr. Graham Watts, Tutor, Christian Doctrine and Ethics, Spurgeon's College, London ""Nigel has a real gift for exploring profound theological truth in a very readable way. I have found that his books inspire, challenge, and develop my thinking and practice as a Christian leader, and so I am delighted to commend this latest book to you."" --Lynn Green, General Secretary, Baptist Union of Great Britain ""In a day when many Christians have a hazy grasp of their faith, Nigel Wright's Vital Truth comes as a timely corrective. Written with commendable clarity, it succinctly and accessibly explores the core convictions of Christianity. It is persuasive, winsome, and readable. Chapters are short enough to be savored and provide excellent material for small group study. Definitely a book to get hold of."" --Brian Harris, Principal, Vose Seminary, Perth, Australia Nigel G. Wright (PhD) is Principal Emeritus of Spurgeon's College London, and a former President of the Baptist Union of Great Britain. An ordained minister, his career has been divided equally between serving local churches and teaching theology.
