Lamb Jonathan

Is God really in control?' This is a question confronting Christians today - but it is not a new one. In this practical, thought-provoking and inspiring collection of Bible teachings taken from The Keswick Convention 2004, many speakers seek to tackle this seemingly timeless topic. Jonathan Lamb shows how the question was faced by the prophet Habakkuk, as Israel's world seemed to be crashing around their ears, and how he answered it with a ringing 'Yes!' Peter Maiden expands the essential message of how all Christians must take a stand against Phariseeism and Ian Coffey uses the example of John the Baptist to examine the theme of disappointment with God.

The author of Tristram Shandy made frequent use of literary fragments from other writers, as part of his own style. Laurence Sterne's quotations, plagiarisms and allusions were often employed in the service of the pleonasm, or 'performed pun'. Jonathan Lamb describes Sterne's operation of the pleonasm as his 'double principle'. He sees this style not as the key to some clever puzzle whose clues we go on solving in the hope of total disclosure of meaning (as some critics have claimed); rather the opposite, that it is a consoling reminder that neither we nor the text can ever be complete. Lamb severs Sterne from the Locke tradition and frees him from the 'influence' oriented studies which have aimed to authenticate him through his borrowings. This allows us to read him as a writer eagerly exploring the turns and paradoxes of associationist thought and adapting the rhetoric of the sublime to the stutterings of ordinary speech.

A message from Jesus to the church today.

A collection of teachings from the 2005 Keswick Convention that will challenge, inspire and encourage - Bible ministry for today's world. What is the Gospel, and how does it transform those who live by it? What is the essence of Christianity? Why does it matter? Is the doctrine of penal substitution biblical? All these contemporary questions were tackled at the Keswick Convention. From God's announcing of the coming of the Suffering Servant in Isaiah, to the call of Saul to take that good news to the world, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is in this book.
