A Christian Directory (Volume 3) by Richard Baxter OR, A SUM OF PRACTICAL THEOLOGY AND CASES OF CONSCIENCE. DIRECTING CHRISTIANS, HOW TO USE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND FAITH; HOW TO IMPROVE ALL HELPS AND MEANS, AND TO PERFORM ALL DUTIES; HOW TO OVERCOME TEMPTATIONS, AND TO ESCAPE OR MORTIFY EVERY SIN. IN FOUR PARTS: I. CHRISTIAN ETHICS, (OR PRIVATE DUTIES.) II. CHRISTIAN ECONOMICS, (OR FAMILY DUTIES.) III. CHRISTIAN ECCLESIASTICS, (OR CHURCH DUTIES.) IV. CHRISTIAN POLITICS, (OR DUTIES TO OUR RULERS AND NEIGHBOURS.) THE PRACTICAL WORKS OF RICHARD BAXTER with a preface, giving some account of the author, and of this edition of his practical works. AN ESSAY ON HIS GENIUS, WORKS, AND TIMES;AND A PORTRAIT. Readers, The book is so big that I must make no longer preface, than to give you this necessary, short account, I. Of the quality; II. And the reasons of this work. 1. The matter you will see in the contents: As Amesius's "Cases of Conscience" are to his "Medulla," the second and practical part of theology, so is this to a "Methodus Theologiæ" which I have not yet published. And, 1. As to the method of this, it is partly natural, but principally moral; that is, partly suitable to the real order of the matter, but chiefly of usefulness, secundum ordinem intentionis, where our reasons of each location are fetched from the end. Therefore unless I might be tedious in opening my reasons à fine for the order of every particular, I know not how to give you full satisfaction. But in this practical part I am the less solicitous about the accurateness of method, because it more belongeth to the former part, (the theory,) where I do it as well as I am able. 2. This book was written in 1664 and 1665 (except the Ecclesiastic Cases of Conscience, and a few sheets since added). And since the writing of it, some invitations drew me to publish my "Reasons of the Christian Religion," my "Life of Faith," and "Directions for Weak Christians;" by which the work of the two first chapters here is more fully done; and therefore I was inclined here to leave them out; but for the use of such families as may have this without the other, I forbore to dismember it. 3. But there is a great disproportion between the several parts of the book. 1. The First Part is largest, because I thought that the heart must be kept with greatest diligence, and that if the tree be good the fruit will be good; and I remember Paul's counsel, "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee," 1 Tim. iv. 16. Nothing is well done by him that beginneth not at home: as the man is, so is his strength, and work. 2. The two first chapters are too coarse and tedious for those of the higher form, who may pass them over. But the rest must be spoken to; to whom that is unprofitable which is most suitable and pleasant to more exercised and accurate wits. The grand directions are but the explications of the essentials of christianity, or of the baptismal covenant, even of our relation-duties to God the Father, Son, (in several parts of his relation,) and of the Holy Ghost. The doctrine of Temptations is handled with brevity, because they are so numerous; lest a due amplification should have swelled the book too much; when a small part of their number maketh up so much of Mr. John Downame's great and excellent treatise, called, "The Christian Warfare." The great radical sins are handled more largely than seemeth proportionable to the rest, because all die when they are dead. And I am large about Redeeming Time, because therein the sum of a holy, obedient life is included.

Is Paul’s injunction for women to cover their heads in worship binding today (1 Cor. 11:2-16)? Most of the Reformed, the Scottish covenanters and the Westminster divines in the Reformation and puritan era said ‘No,’ that Paul’s ordinance was relative to his culture, which used this custom. In the most detailed exegetical and theological treatment of this issue since that era, Fentiman argues that this view is conclusive from the Word of God. The book’s Intro and the Overview of the Argument following it will whet your desire to invest the time to look through the rest, from which you will reap many rewards. To see how Corinthian women covered their heads, see the many pictures in the History section on pp. 188-98. For a summary of the main points of the whole book, see the Summary Conclusions beginning on p. 258. Here is the logical structure of the book’s main argument. Every proposition is thoroughly proven in detail in the book: 1. All positive, instituted worship must be “expressly set down in Scripture” or “by good and necessary consequence… deduced” therefrom (Westminster Confession of Faith 1.6). 2. In Scripture head-coverings, or the lack thereof, bore a variety of contrary meanings and acceptability, or not, in worship. Hence they were clearly cultural. 3. Head-coverings cannot be taught by pure-nature and have no intrinsic value for worshipping God. 4. Paul only uses the language of “dishonor,” “becometh,” “glory” and “custom” about head-coverings, which are all things of social decency, but do not reflect inherent sins. As with head-coverings, Paul uses imperatives in 1 Cor. 7 about things not intrinsically sinful. 5. Some apostolic ordinances were circumstantially conditioned and mutable. 6. Universal moral reasons given for a practice, such as head-coverings, not eating creeping things (Lev. 11:41, 44), the holy kiss, foot-washing, etc. does not necessarily make it perpetual. A context is assumed and generals can only bind generally. 7. There is nothing in 1 Cor. 11 necessitating head-coverings to have a different meaning or use in worship than in society. 8. There is no necessary warrant Corinthian head-coverings were geographically or temporally universal in the apostolic churches; but if they were, this does not itself make an ordinance to be of positive religion, especially as the Greco-Roman culture (which head-coverings were appropriate to) was vast. 9. Part I’s survey of all the relevant Scriptural head-covering data (consider it for yourself) shows there is no express or good and necessary consequence from these texts that Corinthian head-coverings were a positive, perpetual rite of religion (WCF 21.1) beyond circumstances common to human society, ordered by nature’s light, Christian prudence and the Word’s general principles (WCF 1.6), which things may be culturally relative. 10. These things being the case, Paul’s statement that improper head-covering “dishonoreth her head,” (v. 5) must be, not prescriptive, but descriptive, as the case was in that society (which it was). Hence Paul’s natural and spiritual arguments are contingent on this de facto premise. A change of the premise in a different culture where not covering is not dishonoring, changes the conclusion.

"The editor's preface (1707), p. xiii stated that the works of Richard Baxter are 'perhaps the best body of practical divinity that is extent in our own or any other tongue.' Richard Baxter lived from 1615-1691. The DIRECTORY was completed in 1665. Its scope was intended to cover all of practical theology, a summa of casuistry . . ." Timothy Keller calls it "the greatest manual on Biblical counseling ever produced."

In "The Catholic Dogma: Extra Ecclesiam Nullus Omnino Salvatur," Michael Muller delves into the profound theological discourse surrounding salvation and the Church's role as the sacred vessel through which grace is dispensed. Employing a rigorous literary style that marries precision with accessibility, Muller navigates the complexities of ecclesiology and soteriology, drawing on Catholic tradition and doctrinal affirmations. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous landscape of 19th-century theology, his work engages with the counter-reformation and the emerging modernist critiques of the Church, thereby positioning itself within the ongoing dialogue about faith and spiritual authority. Michael Muller, a pivotal figure in 19th-century Catholic theology, was deeply influenced by the doctrinal crises of his time, which compelled him to address the implications of 'outside the Church there is no salvation.' A theologian of significant acclaim, Muller sought to clarify misunderstandings within contemporary scholarship, emphasizing the necessity of the Church in the economy of salvation through his writings, lectures, and pastoral engagements. This book is essential for scholars, theologians, and lay readers alike, as it not only explicates an integral dogma of the Catholic faith but also invites critical reflection on the meaningfulness of tradition in an era marked by skepticism. Muller's compelling arguments and clear exposition render this work a valuable resource for understanding the interconnectedness of faith, divine grace, and the imperatives of ecclesiastical authority.

Treatise On The Soul And The Resurrection written by Gregory of Nyssa and has been published by DigiCat this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2023-11-22 with Religion categories.
In "Treatise On the Soul and the Resurrection," Gregory of Nyssa engages deeply with the metaphysical implications of the human soul's nature and its ultimate resurrection. Written in the 4th century, this theological work exemplifies the rich traditions of early Christian thought while drawing on Platonic and Neoplatonic influences. Gregory employs a dialectical style, utilizing both philosophical reasoning and theological reflection to articulate his views on the immortality of the soul, the resurrection of the body, and the transformative power of divine grace. Through meticulous argumentation, he addresses the existential anxieties of his contemporaries, advocating for a hopeful understanding of life after death grounded in Christian doctrine. Gregory of Nyssa, a leading figure of the Cappadocian Fathers, was shaped by both his education in classical philosophy and the theological debates of his era. His own experiences, including the loss of family and the sociopolitical turmoil of the time, inspired his exploration of life, death, and the soul's journey. A bishop and a mystic, Gregory's writings reflect a compelling synthesis of faith and reason, illustrating his commitment to understanding the human condition within a Christian framework. This treatise is highly recommended for readers interested in early Christian theology, philosophy, and the development of doctrines related to the soul and resurrection. Through Gregory's eloquent prose and profound insights, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate relationship between the soul's nature and the promise of resurrection, making it a significant contribution to both religious studies and metaphysical discourse.

In "On the Soul and the Resurrection," Gregory of Nyssa masterfully navigates the intricate relationship between the soul and the resurrection through a blend of philosophical inquiry and theological discourse. Written in the 4th century, during a period of formative theological development within Early Christianity, Gregory employs a dialectical literary style that challenges the prevailing notions of his time. His work engages deeply with Platonic thought, yet distinguishes itself by integrating Christian doctrine, thereby presenting a compelling argument for the immortality of the soul and its ultimate resurrection, which he articulates with both eloquence and precision. Gregory of Nyssa was a prominent theologian and philosopher, part of the Cappadocian Fathers, who were instrumental in shaping early Christian thought. His background in classical Greek philosophy and his commitment to the integration of faith and reason provided him with a unique perspective on existential questions regarding the afterlife and human nature. Influenced by his theological predecessors and contemporaries, Gregory sought to address the spiritual concerns of his era, resulting in this profound exploration of the soul's destiny. This book is highly recommended for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the intersections of philosophy and religious thought. Gregory's insights remain remarkably relevant, offering profound reflections on the nature of existence and the hope of resurrection that resonate through centuries. "On the Soul and the Resurrection" invites readers to ponder the depth of their own beliefs, making it a significant addition to the study of Christian theology.
