Greatest Fight in the world by Charles H. Spurgeon

Greatest Fight in the world

Christian Living  by 
Charles Spurgeon

The Greatest Fight in the world is a smaller but notable work by Spurgeon. The book is demonstrating Spirit and Faith by starting a much-needed conversation on the fight for faith. Spurgeon examines three vital aspects: the first part focuses on the word of God serving as the inspiration of the fight – this is called the armory, the second part investigates the institution of Church and its role in command – titled as the armory and final part called strength, which determines how we wear the armor and utilize its power that can be the metamorphic sword. Spurgeon presented this message with force and conviction in his final address at his Pastor’s college in 1981 yet it is received with enthusiasm even today. Spurgeon preaches the invincibility of a believer that comes with diligence in the prayer routine. He concludes prayer as being the ultimate language to learn the truth.

Hermeneutics  by 
Charles H.Spurgeon

The Bible, written in the Hebrew language, has used around 8,000 words only. But despite its limited number of words, it is a rich language because of its variations and combinations of meaning. At first glance, Psalm 119 may look redundant, but the author used those limited words in fresh ways that exhibit another shade of meaning. For example, in one verse, the psalmist is bearing witness; in the next verse, he is praising; and in the third verse, he is praying. This commentary about Psalm 119 is not published initially as one book but a part of a book. But since only huge libraries can hold such a series of thick volumes, small parts were printed separately to find their way to the hands of simple readers. It is the ardent hope of the author that this book may help fan the flames in our hearts to worship God.

Spiritual Warfare  by 
William Gurnall

The Christian in Complete Armour by Anglican minister William Gurnall is perhaps one of the most profound spiritual and biblical theology written from the English Puritan age. The world, according to the Apostle Paul, is at war. It is not a war by the modern man’s definition but a struggle of the spirit. Gurnall began to investigate Paul’s admonition in sermons and lectures that he published under this title.

These teachings became Gurnall’s legacy, influencing well over three centuries of Christians and earning acclaim from notable figures such as Richard Baxter, John Flaven, John Newton, Charles Spurgeon, and Jonathan Edwards.

Historical theologians and church historians, and anyone in the Christian faith, can be enlightened through this literature. It gives considerable information on the pre-critical puritan vision of the universe while also elucidating a theological and spiritual issue that modern people of His faith either disregard or take for granted.

Prevailing Prayer by Dwight L. Moody

Prevailing Prayer

Prayer  by 
Dwight Moody

In a modern world, there are very few books that everyone should read and Prevailing Prayer by Dwight Moody is one of those. It is a Moody classic for all those who wonder where the power is and are curious to explore new depths of spirituality. The book is a reminder that God can change a life, it is an inspiration to pray, remain humble and encourages its readers to seek the ‘Arm’ that moves the world. One of the greatest evangelists of all time, Moody builds his case upon the mysteries hidden in the history of humans living on this planet; why some prayers have moved mountains whereas others can barely move stones. Answering all the important questions, Prevailing Prayer explains the biblical element of the universe which we call prayer. The book is a gem containing illustrations and stories that play a role in the renewal of faith.

Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan

Pilgrims Progress

Christian Living  by 
John Bunyan

Often lauded as on par for importance with the Bible as a Christian document, The Pilgrims’ Progress is a religious parable of a good man’s pilgrimage through the journey of life in search of redemption.
Rich in Biblical theology, the compelling drama depicts the story of a pilgrim’s triumphs, trials, and tribulations that follow him on his odyssey to the Celestial City set stunningly against the backdrops of grand towns and idle country.
The Pilgrim’s Progress, a massively influential 17th-century classic known for its simplicity, liveliness, and beauty of language, is today one of the most widely read books in English. It is one of the most important works of religious English literature, had been translated into over 200 languages, and never went out of print.

History of the Origins of Christianity Bk6

History  by 
Ernest Renan

This book belongs to a seven-volume series, the first of which, Life of Jesus, is the most famous (or infamous). The Reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, the sixth volume, tells the story of Christianity during reigns of two of the 2nd century’s Roman emperors. The book details the development and expansion of Christianity after the more intense persecution of the previous century had ended. No longer facing open persecution, Christians grew in number faster than before along with their various heresies, as Renan explains. The historian’s account reflects his background in 19th century German higher criticism of the Bible.

This book belongs to a seven-volume series, the first of which, Life of Jesus, is the most famous (or infamous). Marcus Aurelius, the seventh volume, concerns the development of the church during the reign of the Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius. The historian argues that Marcus Aurelius, famous for his evenhanded rule and contributions to Stoic philosophy, influenced early Christianity greatly. During the emperor’s reign, Christianity adopted Stoic systems and standards of morality that have since survived into the present. Renan’s account reflects his background in 19th century German higher criticism of the Bible.

History of the Origins of Christianity Bk4

History  by 
Ernest Renan

History of the Origins of Christianity is a seven-volume series written by Ernest Renan, a French philosopher, historian, and scholar of religious studies. Life of Jesus rose to prominence throughout Renan’s lifetime. It investigated Christ’s life solely historically, following the traditions of nineteenth-century German higher criticism.

Renan was dubious of accepting the historical actuality of the elements of the supernatural found in the New Testament, and his skeptical discernment of the gospels led him to deny the divinity of Christ. Scandalous in its nature, Life of Jesus has had a significant impact on the fields of contemporary biblical criticism and Christology. Many additions and contradictions have followed since its publication, notably Albert Schweitzer’s Quest for the Historical.

While the series proved to cause turmoil in the religious and philosophical communities, it is, without a doubt, a thought-provoking material to read for any Christians hoping to challenge their knowledge in theology.
