Förlagets beskrivning
This is the third volume of Ferguson's collected essays, and includes some of his most memorable work, especially on ""laying on of hands."" ""Since the middle of the last century, no scholar of early Christianity has been more respected, even revered, than Everett Ferguson. He has displayed in his life and his many writings that the gift of the early church to Christians today is not only its theological ideas, but its testimony to the lived reality of Christian faith. In this edifying volume of essays, with essays on psalm-singing, spiritual sacrifice, the art of praise, active and contemplative lives, Ferguson, a wise teacher of our age, invites readers to contemplate the depth and richness of the church's first teachers."" --Robert Louis Wilken, William R.
