Diese Arbeit leistet durch die wissenschaftliche Erforschung der Theorie der maqasid und durch die Herausstellung ihrer Bedeutung als Wandlungskonzept geistig und padagogisch einen Beitrag in der islamischen Theologie. Aus der wissenschaftlich-kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit der maqasid wurden Loesungsansatze fur eine moderne islamische Theologie in einer neuen maqasid-Konzeption formuliert. Epistemologisch wurde der Ansatz der Kontextualisierung und methodologisch eine systembezogene Annaherungsweise verfolgt, die die islamische Normativitat in eine dynamisch-pragmatische Beziehung zur menschlichen Realitat setzen und die maqasid als System begreifen. Dadurch wird eine Lesart des Quellentextes begunstigt, die seine Intentionalitat und seine Kommunikationsfunktion herausstellt sowie seinem transzendentalen und regenerativen Charakter Rechnung tragt.

Bad sermon jokes have lost none of their edge, and preachers know most of them. Yet those churches where preaching flourishes often grow most strongly. Simon Coupland believes that a good sermon can bring the Bible to life, speak a powerful message to people's hearts and lives, and draw them to Christ. He tackles key topics, including the balance between inspiration and effort; structure; style; opening and closing; the use of narrative; and personal integrity. "The text is liberally sprinkled with examples of preaching, jokes, quotations and illustrations," he explains. "In a book to help us be more effective communicators, I have tried to practise what I preach." All preachers, no matter how experienced, will find something to treasure in his cheerful, commonsense approah.

Love one another, just as Jesus loves you... Follow Dr. Jeremiah through the letters of 1, 2, 3, John and Jude in a chapter-by-chapter study that will help you understand what it meant to the people at the time it was written, and what it means to Christians today. The Christians of the first century were facing a difficult battle. False teachers had emerged in their churches who were spreading a gospel that was contrary to the one proclaimed by Jesus. The situation was so distressing to John that he wrote a series of letters to call them to remember that Jesus' greatest command was for them to love God and to love one another. Similarly, Jude called on believers to remember the truth of the gospel and persevere in the face of these attacks from false teachers. Each of this study's twelve lessons is clearly organized to include: Getting Started: An opening question to introduce you to the lesson. Setting the Stage: A short reflection to explain the context of the study. Exploring the Text: The Scripture reading for the lesson with related study questions. Reviewing the Story: Questions to help you identify key points in the reading. Applying the Message: Questions to help you apply the key ideas to their lives. Reflecting on the Meaning: A closing reflection on the key teachings in the lesson. -ABOUT THE SERIES- The Jeremiah Bible Study Series captures Dr. David Jeremiah's forty-plus years of commitment in teaching the Word of God. In each study, you'll gain insights into the text, identify key stories and themes, and be challenged to apply the truths you uncover to your life. By the end of each study, you'll come away with a clear and memorable understanding of that Bible book. Each study also contains a Leader's Guide.

In other words, this book will give you a basic course in the Catholic Faith, taught by the Church's greatest theologian. Let St. Thomas teach you how to explain, defend, and live your Faith . . . with the clear-sighted wisdom of a saint!

I'm longing for God... * to answer my prayers * to forgive me * when my heart has grown cold * to take me deeper * to display his glory * to take me home The latest in the popular Keswick study guide series matches the banner theme of Keswick Convention 2019: Longing for God. Seminars, Bible readings and evening celebrations will be tightly focussed around this topic. As in previous years, we want convention-goers and those who don't benefit from Keswick to explore the subject at home, on their own or in a group setting. For the latter, there are leaders' notes on the six standalone sessions. You can find out what the Bible says and what it means in your life, and be encouraged through praying the prayers and digging deeper. As you interact with this resource, you will find yourself equipped to face life's challenges though knowing the God of the Bible better. We pray that your longing will be satisfied.

In Soul Keeping, John Ortberg helps Christians rediscover their soul the best connection to God there is and find out why it s hurting and why neglecting it has set so many believers so far back spiritually.

In this six-session, video-based small group Bible study, Ortberg shows that caring for your soul is necessary for your Christian life. John shows participants what your soul is, why it is important, how to assess your soul s health, and how to care for it so that we can have a meaningful and beautiful life with God and others.

When you nurture your soul your life in this world will come to make sense again; you can find your way back to God from hopelessness, depression, relationship struggles, and a lack of fulfillment. Your soul s resting place is in God, and John Ortberg wants to take participants to that home. This study guide includes discussion questions, video notes, and in-between studies and is designed for use with the Soul Keeping DVD (sold separately).

Sessions include:

• Why God Made You With a Soul
• What's Soul Got To Do With It
• Finding Your Soul's True Home
• Empty Souls and Full Garages
• Why We Have a Soul, Brothers and Sisters
