Study Guide for the United Church of Canada, A History
($5.00 including GST)
The United Church of Canada: A History is divided into two parts: The first part studies the history of The United Church of Canada in chronological order, from its formation until roughly 2003. Most chapters in the first part cover a time period of about a decade. The second part is made up of chapters studying particular topics. This six-session study guide for the book focuses on the first part of the book and does not cover all of the second. Reading the book with this study guide should help you gain an understanding of the history of the United Church: how it came into being, and how it has come to be the church it is today.
Jesus Christ for Contemporary Life: His Person, Work, and Relationships
Don Schweitzer
($30.00 including GST)
Jesus Christ for Contemporary Life is an understanding of Jesus as the Word of God, grounded in what can be known historically of Jesus and informed by subsequent reflection upon him, which hopes to help shape a Christian identity characterized by “bounded openness.” In Jesus Christ for Contemporary Life, Don Schweitzer explores the significance of the person, work, and relationships of Jesus Christ for contemporary life. He moves from the historical Jesus to the present in three parts. In the first part Schweitzer develops an understanding of Jesus as the Word of God, who became incarnate to give the goodness and beauty of God further expression in time and space. Second, he explores how various atonement theories articulate ways in which Jesus empowers people to further express this beauty and goodness in their own lives. And finally, Schweitzer explores how Jesus relates to people in the church, to the events and movements in history, to other religions, and to Christians in their dialogue with God in prayer.
