'Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of
personal nurture and development.' says LeRoy Eims. But all too
often the opportunity isn't there. We neglect the young Christian
in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups.
And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple
young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple,
practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of
disciple making. He explains: - How the early church discipled new
Christians - How to meet the basic needs of a growing Christian -
How to spot and train potential workers - How to develop mature,
godly leaders 'True growth takes time and tears and love and
patience, ' Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book
examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and
considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually
qualified workers in the church
Turley begins by surveying the history of the interface between
ritual studies and Pauline scholarship, identifying the scholarly
gaps in both method and conclusions and a ritual theory adequate to
address such gaps. The focus of the work is then on the two rituals
that identified the Pauline communities: ritual washings and ritual
meals. Turley explores Galatians and 1 Corinthians, two letters
that present the richest spread of evidence pertinent to ritual
theory. By exploring Paul's reference to ritual washings and meals
with a heuristic use of ritual theory, Turley concludes that
rituals in early Christianity were inherently revelatory, in that
they revealed the dawning of the messianic age through the bodies
of the ritual participants. This bodily revelation established both
a distinctly Christian ethic and a distinctly Christian social
space by which such an ethical identity might be identified and
sustained.
