Spiritually Uplifting!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Charles Ryrie served on the faculty of Dallas Theological Seminary for over 20 years as chairman and professor of systematic theology. His ministry of speaking and writing has been characterized accurately as profoundly insightful and superlatively clear in his communication. In this volume, Dr. Ryrie analyzes 35 of the miracles of Jesus that are found in the Gospel records. His treatment of each is indeed brief, for Ryrie is not a verbose writer. What many authors do in ten pages, Charles Ryrie can communicate in five. This volume has appeal for both the clergyman as well as the layperson. For the pastor, the alliterated outlining alone is worth the price of the book. The insighful and practical applications that are inserted after each point make it a gold mine for both preacher and parishioner. It could also be useful as an excellent devotional source. For those of you who would enjoy a more academic treatment of this subject, I would recommend "The Miracles and Parables of Christ" by R.C. Trench.
The Miracles of Our Lord - "Two Thumbs Up"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Dr. Ryrie presents a condensed review of the 35 Miracles of Jesus as reported by the Gospels. He includes background information as well as relevance to our everyday life. Think of this work as a "cliffs notes" view to just who Jesus Christ was and is - as exemplified by the feature that visibly and undeniably set Him apart from all others - His miracles. If your time is limited, I can't imagine a more informative and inspiring reading on this subject. If it was a movie, it would be two thumbs up!
Enlightening
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
In this book, Dr. Charles Ryrie examines 35 of the Lord's miracles and provides a brief analysis of each. After scripture is quoted, Dr. Ryrie provides the setting and the circumstances under which each miracle was performed. The reader is educated as to the significance of the miracle, the impact the miracle had on the people involved at the time and how the miracle has significance to present day Christians. The only disappointment I encountered was that each miracle was only given three to five pages of exposition. Other excellent works by Dr. Ryrie include "Basic Theology" and "Dispensationalism".
