From the quote aficionado to the historical researcher, fans of
Bartlett's will be thrilled to see BARTLETT'S BIBLE QUOTATIONS.
Assembled in a new format to delight both researchers and casual
readers, BARTLETT'S BIBLE QUOTATIONS is an essential collection of
Bible quotes pulled from the prestigious BARTLETT'S FAMILIAR
QUOTATIONS. It is both a valuable reference tool and an eminent
collection to be browsed through for pleasure. The quotes are
organised simply and elegantly, from Genesis to Revelations, and
include Psalms, Proverbs, and the Apocrypha. Bartlett's highlights
the essential passages of the beloved text (originally from the
King James Version), from the educational to the ethical, from
stern to stirring, creating a view of the Bible unlike any other.
This interdisciplinary study follows an international and
ecumenical meeting of twenty-one scholars held in New York at
Easter 2003: the Redemption Summit. After an opening chapter, which
explores seven central questions for writers on redemption, five
chapters are dedicated to the scriptural roots of the doctrine. A
section on the patristic and medieval periods then examines the
interpretation of redemption through the centuries. The volume
moves on to foundational and systematic issues: the problem of
horrendous evil, karma and grace, and differing views on
justification. Studies on the redemption in literature, art, music,
and preaching form the final part. There is a fruitful dialogue
between experts in a wide range of areas and the international
reputation of the participants reflects and guarantees the high
quality of this joint work. The result is a well researched,
skilfully argued, and, at times, provocative volume on the central
Christian belief: the redemption of human beings through Jesus
Christ.
