Bøger af Brian S. Rosner

This book challenges the popular idea that expressive individualism--looking inward--is the sole basis of one's identity. Brian Rosner provides an approach to identity formation that looks outward to others and upward to God, which leads to a more stable and satisfying sense of self.

This careful, sometimes innovative, mid-level commentary touches on an astonishingly wide swath of important, sensitive issues -- theological and pastoral -- that have urgent resonances in twenty-first-century life. Roy Ciampa and Brian Rosner reveal how 1 Corinthians directly addresses the claims of unity and truth, church discipline, sexual matters, the Lord's supper, the nature of love, Christian leadership, and many other significant topics. Those who preach and teach 1 Corinthians will be grateful to Ciampa and Rosner for years to come and scholars will be challenged to see this letter with fresh eyes.

While the biblical motif of knowing God is the focus of countless books and articles, being known by God has received little notice. This book explores the neglected biblical theme of being known by God in order to access the subject of personal identity.
