{"product_id":"jesus-christ-for-contemporary-life-don-schweitzer-9781498210522","title":"Jesus Christ for Contemporary Life","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Schweitzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 149821052X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498210522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Don Schweitzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936426328319,"sku":"9781498210522","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_62bddf72-40c7-496d-831c-953177af1e7c.jpg?v=1681425489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesus-christ-for-contemporary-life-don-schweitzer-9781498210522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
