A Religion of Books: God's Tools in the History of Salvation (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Christian faith has repeatedly been called a "religion of the book." Along with the incarnate Word and the oral word of preaching, God has chosen the medium of books to proclaim His goodness to us. The Bible is the book per se, and it sets the standard for the Christian faith.

The Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century saw the dramatic power of the printed word to bring light out of darkness as literature changed the thought and life of nations. The Reformers used pamphlets and tracts extensively to bring about spiritual revolution-the printing press turned out to be the lever with which the enemy was lifted from his saddle.

In A Religion of Books, Bockmuehl traces the role books played in the Reformation and through various movements of the Spirit in the following centuries. He also addresses how the written word shapes political movements and how Christians can continue to use literature to point people to Christ.
