		<description><![CDATA[The Scripture seems to bind us to the practice of excommunication (cf. 1 Cor 5.11; 1 Tim 1.20; Titus 3.10), as ordained by the Lord (Mt 18.15-18). But in the Protestant traditions, one finds little agreement on when, how, and why churches should &#8216;cut off&#8217; offending members. In his comments on Matthew 18, Hauerwas writes, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In similar fashion our salvation depends upon our knowing and recognizing the Chief Good which is God Himself. I have a capacity in my soul for taking in God entirely. I am as sure as I live that nothing is so near to me as God. God is nearer to me than I am to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following are excerpts from one of Bonhoeffer&#8217;s lectures to his Finkenwald seminary students. The text is drawn from Bethge&#8217;s notes. Bonhoeffer begins with a question: &#8216;Why do I meditate on Scripture?&#8217; He provides a four-fold answer. First, Because I am a Christian. Therefore, every day in which I do not penetrate more deeply into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his books, including Thinking in Tongues, Jamie Smith attempts to do justice to that peculiar act of Pentecostal spirituality and worship: testimony. Smith explains his thinking: I wanted to try to have a philosophical and theological methodology that honored the importance and distinctiveness of testimony in pentecostal/charismatic spirituality. So in the &#8220;Introduction&#8221; to Thinking in Tongues [...]]]></description>

This is a selection: &#8230;the most important part of writing and speaking Christian is what is not said. To speak Christian is an exacting discipline. It has taken the church centuries to develop habits of speech [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the conclusion to Cadoux&#8217;s 1919 book, The Early Christian Attitude to War. The testimony of the early Church in regard to the participation of Christians in war will naturally vary very considerably in the strength of the appeal it makes to different types of Christians to-day. In view of all that we have [...]]]></description>
