A Study Of German Lutheran Communion Hymnody The Early Years, Paul Becker
A Study Of German Lutheran Communion Hymnody The Early Years, Paul Becker
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

What Christians sing about as they are given the body and blood of their risen Lord reveals both their confessional stance and their piety.

The Training Of Lay Persons For Careproviding Ministries Among Hispanics, Eliezer Castanon

Many pastors have multichurch districts, so their time to counsel and care for the flock is limited. In addition, pastors are not usually accessible.

The ii first eleven lessons explain the obstacles to spiritual formation, the holiness of God, and how Christians can experience holiness. The last six lessons explain the …
