Bøker av Giacomo Cassese

If you would struggle to come up with a clear, concise definition of, say, sanctification, on the spot, you're not alone! Cassese's Lutheran lexicon is a must-have for college and seminary students. The original title, Conceptos Esenciales (Essential Concepts), says it all. This resource serves as a glossary that will aid in solving that common quandary. Utilizing Luther's wisdom as well as the confessional documents of the Lutheran Church, basic theological terms are defined. Short readings written from a Lutheran perspective provide insight into the emphases that characterized the 16th century Reformation. Throughout, Cassese seeks to do more than expose readers to a theoretical reflection on each term; his goal is to provide practical enlightenment that will transform their experience of the Christian life. This title is small in stature but loaded with stirring truths that hearken back to the foundations of the Lutheran heritage.
