Synopsis
Athanasius. John Owen. J. Gresham Machen.Each of these men stood for the truth of God's Word in the face of opposition-all out of a deep love for Christ and a desire for people to know God in his fullness. Popularity was not a concern, and they took no joy in controversy for argument's sake. However, these men were willing to suffer for the sake of guarding the sanctity of the gospel. Many threats, years of exile, deaths of loved ones, opposition from friends and authorities, sickness and pain-none of these setbacks could keep these three from maintaining their efforts for the furthering of Christ's Kingdom or quench their zeal for Christ himself.In his fourth book of The Swans Are Not Silent series,Contending for Our All, John Piper has given us biographies of Athanasius, John Owen, and J. Gresham Machen-bishop, pastor, and seminary founder. In the life of each one, personal holiness was emphasized publicly and privately despite suffering. They were true soldiers for the sake of the cross, and each man offers life lessons for Christians today. AthanasiusThe deity of Christ and all its worth consumed Athanasius. He devoted his life to defending it. The great adversary was the Arian heresy. Athanasius would be banished by the emperor five times. He was contending for his all-the essential, life-giving truth of Christ and his gospel. John OwenCommunion with Christ was the focus of John Owen's vast intellect and expansive heart. He battled Christ-belittling errors of the mind and heart with passion and skill. Going deeper in the understanding of Christ was for him the key to going deeper in fellowship with him. J. Gresham MachenRepresenting Christ in all his fullness with all of Scripture drove J. Gresham Machen. He saw in the liberal Christianity of the early twentieth century another religion. His exposure of its subtleties and his emphasis on the facts of history are astonishingly relevant for our time in the early twenty-first century. The Swans Are Not SilentWhen Augustine handed over the leadership of his church in A.D. 426, his successor was so overwhelmed by a sense of inadequacy that he declared, "The swan is silent," fearing the spiritual giant's voice would be lost to time. But for 1,600 years Augustine has not been silent-and neither have those who faithfully trumpeted the cause of Christ after him. Their lives have inspired every generation of believers and should compel us to a greater passion for God., Biographies of Athanasius, John Owen, and J. Gresham Machen. Inthe life of each, personal holiness was emphasized publicly andprivately, despite hardship and suffering. Fourth volume of TheSwans Are Not Silent series., Popularity was not a concern, and they took no joy in controversy or its victory. But these men were willing to suffer for the sake of guarding the gospel. Many threats and years of exile, deaths of loved ones and opposition from friends and authorities, sickness and pain--"not any of this could keep these men from their efforts for the Kingdom or quench their zeal for the King. In his fourth volume of, In his newest work, Piper profiles three men willing to suffer for the sake of guarding the gospel: Athanasius, John Owen, and J. Gresham Machen. (Motivation), Athanasius. John Owen. J. Gresham Machen. Each of these men stood for the truth of God's Word in the faceof opposition-all out of a deep love for Christ and a desire forpeople to know God in his fullness.

- w***l (90)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaI don't often leave seller reviews but Yan's Book Store caught my attention. My book came carefully and wonderfully wrapped. The book itself arrived in better than expected condition. Actually, it looked better than some books that other sellers describe as "new." I now find myself window shopping at Yan's Book Store to see what else I can buy.
