Ada anggapan bahwa agama tidak mampu menggerakkan kehidupan ekonomi, lebih-lebih ekonomi kapitalis. Ini didasarkan pada pemiki- ran bahwa agama dan ekonomi merupakan dua ranah yang memiliki titik sentral dan tujuan berbeda. Di antara keduanya, selamanya tidak akan pernah sejalan. Max Weber kemudian muncul dengan Die Protestant Ethik Under Giest Des Kapitalis (Etika Protestan dan Semangat Kapitalis), sebuah pemikiran baru yang seolah menegasikan anggapan tersebut. Ia dengan sangat baik menunjukkan kaitan yang erat antara doktrin-doktrin agama yang puritan dengan fakta-fakta sosial, terutama dalam perkembangan industri modern sehingga melahirkan corak dan ragam nilai yang menjadi tolok ukur keberhasilan individu; keberhasilan di dunia ialah cerminan kebahagiaan di akhirat. Melalui buku fenomenal ini, Max Weber tidak sekadar mengung- kapkan pemikiran-pemikirannya yang brilian terkait dengan relasi antara agama dan kehidupan sosial masyarakat modern. Lebih jauh, ia juga me- ngupas secara komprehensif sejarah lahirnya agama, gagasan tentang Tuhan, etika keagamaan, dan sebagainya. Selamat membaca!

Keselamatan hanya ada di dalam Yesus Kristus. Tidak ada nama lain di bawah kolong langit ini yang olehnya kita diselamatkan. Yesus satu-satunya Juruselamat manusia yang diturunkan dari surga, bagi seluruh umat manusia. Yesus satu-satunya Juruselamat yang diutus oleh Tuhan Allah untuk datang ke dunia. Pengutusan ini tidak pernah dimandatkan kepada siapa pun selain Yesus. Kematian-Nya di kayu salib menggantikan kita manusia berdosa yang seharusnya mati karena dosa kita. Oleh karena itu mari kita sebagai umat tebusan melakukan kehendak Penebus kita sampai akhir hidup sebagai ucapan syukur kita kepada-Nya.

PERSPEKTIF PENTAKOSTA DAN REFORMED

This unique anthology of Christian spirituality draws on the experiences and reflections of six contemporary writers. From the perspective of the late twentieth century, and from very different Christian traditions, they explore our relationship with God and with one another. Each selection begins with a brief outline biography and includes excerpts that confront a rich variety of themes: from vital social and colitical issues to experiences of great personal joy and pain. The authors include Helen Oppenheimer, Janet Martin Soskice, Margaret Spufford, Carlo-Maria Martini, Jacques Pohier and Kenneth Leech.

This enduring collection of twenty-one sermons by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, each originally delivered at Westminster Chapel in London, carefully and compassionately analyzes an undeniable feature of modern society from which Christians have not escaped -- spiritual depression. "Christian people," writes Lloyd-Jones, "too often seem to be perpetually in the doldrums and too often give this appearance of unhappiness and of lack of freedom and absence of joy. There is no question at all but that this is the main reason why large numbers of people have ceased to be interested in Christianity." Believing the Christian joy was one of the most potent factors in the spread of Christianity in the early centuries, Lloyd-Jones not only lays bare the causes that have robbed many Christians of spiritual vitality but also points the way to the cure that is found through the mind and spirit of Christ. - Publisher.
