Book Synopsis Unbinding Christianity by : Jan G. Linn
Download or read book Unbinding Christianity written by Jan G. Linn. This book was released on 2020. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unbinding Christianity is a book that will be good news for some readers while stretching others in uncomfortable ways. It begins with the premise that traditional Christian teaching is focused on right beliefs while the life and teachings of Jesus was all about right living. The book represents a fresh voice for Christians who struggle to accept traditional beliefs by assuring them that Jesus himself said much more about right values than he did right beliefs. The goal of this book is to unbind Christianity from the wrappings of creeds, doctrines, dogma, and beliefs in order to make room for an understanding of what it means to be Christian defined by values that invites unity among Christians without the need for conformity of beliefs. One of the important by-products of a values-based Christianity is that it paves the way for Christians with different beliefs to find common ground with one another while also freeing them to build bridges of understanding with non-Christian. WORDS OF PRAISE If you have found it impossible to continue believing in some of the doctrines the church has taught to be essential and don't know if you can continue being a Christian, Jan Linn offers some much needed guidance. --Craig Watts Unbinding Christianity is a thought-provoking argument for expansion of Christianity's often employed litmus tests of inclusion and rejection. --Joshua Santana This book is a wake-up call to all of us who choose to follow Jesus, a challenge for us to rethink what it truly means to be Christian. --Heather Cargill

Walther's 'The Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel,' is the Missouri Synod theologian's greatest theological work. This book consists of a series of thirty-nine lectures that Dr. Walther gave at Concordia Seminary at the end of his life on one of the foundational elements of Lutheran thought: the distinction between Law and Gospel. In twenty-five theses, Walther expound's upon the distinction between the Law as God's commands upon his creatues, and the Gospel of God's free grace in Christ. Each thesis is defended by extensive Scriptural exegesis.".
