The Growth of the early Church retreat 10 CD BOX SET

You have never heard Raymond like this on all the other recordings. With a much more pastoral approach Raymond looks at many aspects of Biblical history and its application for us today. It is a constant feel to these wonderful teachings as we look at the theological, social and moral struggles in the early Christian community and what this all means for us today. Raymond uses the Gospels and the Acts and takes an in-depth look at the Pauline letters and other sources. He also looks at the personal and mechanistic image of the Church.One of Raymond's comments on Paul's letters sums up one of the main themes of this wonderful retreat:ﾓThe person who knows the difficulties of the church and can still talk about its sanctity is a person who has a theological insight into the real nature of the church as participating in the sanctity of Christ despite our human failings. And to my mind that is good theology and a powerful set of letters for that reason." Please don't miss this wonderful set of CDs!(During this week long retreat Raymond gave a lecture on Mary. As there is already a talk on Mary in John and of course in the Marys set we have reduced the price of this set accordingly - in effect giving the Mary talk free).
