For Us and for Our Salvation | Stephen Nichols

by Matt McCarnan on September 12th, 2007

For Us and for Our SalvationStephen J. Nichols. For Us and for Our Salvation: The Doctrine of Christ in the Early Church. Crossway, 2007. 176 pp.

The belief that Christ is the God-man is definitive of Christian orthodoxy and imperative to a right understanding of the gospel. By the middle of the fifth century, the church had wrestled with many challenges to the biblical portrayal of Christ and, in response to those challenges, had formulated the doctrine of Christ that remains the standard to this day. This look to the past helps as Christians contend with present-day challenges and seek to answer Christ’s question—“Who do people say that I am?”—for those living in the twenty-first century.

Ancient Christian Devotional | Cindy Crosby, ed.

by Phil Gons on April 30th, 2007

Ancient Christian DevotionalCindy Crosby, ed. Ancient Christian Devotional: A Year of Weekly Readings. IVP, 2007. 276 pp.

“To search the sacred Scripture is very good and most profitable for the soul. For, ‘like a tree which is planted near the running waters,’ so does the soul watered by sacred Scripture also grow hearty and bear fruit in due season,” writes John of Damascus in Orthodox Faith (4.17).

By helping us to read holy writings with ancient eyes, the church fathers help us drink deeply from the only water that can give us true life.

Edited by Cindy Crosby and Thomas C. Oden, this guide to prayer and reflection combines excerpts from the writings of the church fathers as found in the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture (ACCS) with a simple structure for either daily or weekly reading and prayer.

Included are 52 weeks of readings following cycle A of the Revised Common Lectionary. You can read through them in order or by thematic interest. Each day you will also find a simple opening and closing prayer drawn from the prayers and hymns of the ancient church.

Come and find the deep nourishment God offers through the insights of this “cloud of witnesses”—the ancient church fathers.
