Liberty Theological Seminary Book Critique on Believer’s Baptism: Sign of the New Covenant in Christ Submitted to Dr. Christopher Moody in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the completion of this course THEO530- B02LUO Systematic Theology II June 26, 2015 Table of Contents Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………....3 Summary………………………………………………………………………………………….3 Critique ………………………………………………………………………………………..…4 Conclusion ………... ………………………………………………………………………….…7 Bibliography ……………………………………………………………………………………..9 Introduction In their book, Believer’s Baptism, the authors Schreiner and Wright attempt to incorporate their views on why baptism is essential in the Christian church. Along with its importance they also go further by promoting the believer’s baptism over infant baptism. They begin by attacking the Christian claim found among many that baptism is a trivial issue. They quickly negate this statement with an alternate point of view, that Christians who suffered persecution and martyrdom did not believe it to be so. Summary Placing aside the foreword and introduction, there are ten chapters or sections to this book.

The chaplain may request sterilised water in a small container and ask for privacy around the family. In an emergency when a chaplain is not available, any baptised adult may carry the ceremony, when an emergency baptism is performed, the chaplain must be notified. Sometimes in danger of death and adult may request to be baptised. (The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England & Wales, 2012). Holy Communion to a Dying Patient: When a holy communion is administered to a dying patient it is called “Viaticum” for the food of the journey.
Christians have many different views on the issue of inventions and how their use can be controlled. The Christian deontological teachings of the 10 commandments provide many rules that some Christians may use to apply to the issues of inventions. A more relative approach is Situation ethics which would weigh up the effects an invention would have on mankind. Natural Law largely followed by the Catholic Church maintains the fact that all life is sacred and so inventions such as genetic engineering and stem cell research would raise concerns. Neil Postman (1931-2003) was an American author that described technophiles as the people who rejoice in human inventiveness for its own sake, for the sheer excitement of what it might bring.
Both seem to be making a conscious decision about right and wrong and a practical decision about the impact of a baby on their lives. Each of the couples and the doctors were faced with conflicts on multiple levels involving both individual psychological needs and differences of values. These conflicts required resolutions that were interpersonal (ethical decisions for both parents and physicians), intrapersonal (between the parents themselves) and intergroup (between parents and the medical communities that served them). The causes of the conflict in the stories were values of the people. They believed that abortions were okay even though they knew they were being put in situations in which there was a possibility of them having multiple fetuses.
She was poor and had a baby that was not her husbands, yet she decided to keep it and it was the savior of the world. I really learned a lot from the “our response” section of the article, because it gave me a new perspective on how to go about talking to be about abortion. I used to try and show them hos it is wrong and awful, but that’s not our main goal. We need to remember that only God can change the hearts of those who do not believe and we must treat those who do not with grace, gentleness, and
4-MAT Review: Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling By Mark R. McMinn, Ph.D. Angelique Lawhenore, Student ID 130818 Liberty University COUN 506 August 6, 2009 Author: Mark R. McMinn Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Carol Stream, IL Date: 1996 Abstract This book was written by McMinn (1996) to directly address “two secret places in counselors’ lives.” The first place is in the counseling office and the second place is the spiritual life of the Christian counselor (p. xi). The main issue, or challenge, at hand for the Christian counselor is to learn how to integrate not only psychology and theology, but to also include the aspect of spiritual formation in the counseling process.
Abstract Exercise is a like a foreign word that many do not want to have in their vocabulary. It takes time and effort and many do not realize how it can help with health. This research paper was designed to help educate about the importance exercise can have on health. The research question was “How does exercise benefit health and help manage disease and how much and what kind is needed to maintain health?” The paper was researched as a literature review based on research others have already done on the topic. In order to maintain health it is simple, a minimum of thirty minutes of exercise three to five times per week will help ensure better health and wellness.
Ethical and Moral Issues in Practice With the passage of the Affordable Health Care Act several moral and ethical issues arose that, at the writing of this paper, have yet to be thoroughly vetted and addressed. According to an October 2013 article published by the Christian Broadcast Network, the Affordable Healthcare Act may trigger an exodus of physicians and other healthcare professionals. “Thousands of Christian doctors across the nation are considering quitting medicine or working overseas because of concerns over the new healthcare law. Dr. Gene Rudd, senior vice president of the Christian Medical Association, says they're worried they could be forced to facilitate abortions or prescribe drugs that violate their convictions. Rudd says many of them have avoided hiring and taking on new patients due to uncertainty over Obamacare.
Opponents also commonly accuse these systems of being unable to pay for themselves, racking up huge deficits year after year. A fair amount of truth lies in these claims, but Americans must remember to put those problems in context with the problems of the current US system as well. It is true that people often wait to see a doctor in countries with UHC, but we in the United States wait as well, and we often schedule appointments weeks in advance, only to have onerous waits in the doctor’s “waiting
