Best Selling Books by Bruce Gordon

Als charismatischer Prediger veränderte Zwingli die Kirche und Gesellschaft in Zürich und inspirierte Anhänger in ganz Europa. Er legte das Fundament der reformierten Tradition, die Johannes Calvin später weiterentwickelte und zu einer weltweit einflussreichen Konfession formte. Doch Zwingli blieb umstritten: Viele Zeitgenossen sahen in ihm einen Aufwiegler und Ketzer, dessen kompromisslose Haltung und kriegerische Rhetorik den Frieden gefährdeten. Seine Vision führte ihn ins persönliche Verderben – er verlor die Kontrolle über seine Bewegung und fiel auf dem Schlachtfeld im Kampf gegen seine katholischen Gegner. Die deutsche Übersetzung von Bruce Gordons 2021 erschienener Biografie bietet neue Perspektiven auf die frühe Reformation in der Schweiz und auf die Schlüsselrolle, die Zwingli darin spielte.

Ein Leben zu führen, das Relevanz hat - in der Gegenwart und in der Ewigkeit -, das ist jederzeit möglich. Egal, in welcher Lebensphase man sich gerade befindet. Dieses Andachtsbuch ermutigt dazu, seine Erwartungen im fortgeschrittenen Alter nicht zurückzuschrauben und offen zu sein für das, was Gott für einen bereithält. Dabei geht es in den 52 Andachten auch um ganz praktische Lebensthemen: um den Umgang mit der Enkel-Generation, wie man zur Vergebung findet, was positive Alltagsgestaltung ausmacht, wie man mit dem Älterwerden umgehen kann und vieles mehr. Wertvolle Impulse für ein Leben reich an Sinn, Bedeutung und Hoffnung - für Menschen im besten Alter.

''Ga dan alle volken tot discipelen maken,'' waren de afscheidswoorden van Jezus. Nooit heeft een opdracht zo veel effect gehad, vooral door middel van de Bijbel, het boegbeeld van een wereldreligie met ca. 2,5 miljard volgelingen, het invloedrijkste boek aller tijden. Het woord van God, maar door mensen opgeschreven, gekopieerd en vertaald. Al eeuwenlang is de Bijbel een uiting van identiteiten en overtuigingen, maar ook een bron van verzet, verdeeldheid en geweld. Ook vandaag de dag blijft de Bijbel inspireren, zelfs de wonderen van weleer herleven in sommige bewegingen. In De Bijbel. Een wereldgeschiedenis overziet Bruce Gordon de levensloop van de Bijbel en de uitwerking ervan tot in de verste uithoeken van de aarde. Hoe de wetenschap teruggaat naar de oorsprong van het boek en hoe mensen het beleven. Gordon nodigt de lezer uit om de Bijbel als een levend document te beschouwen dat telkens wanneer het gelezen wordt opnieuw vorm krijgt. Bruce Gordon (1962) is een gerenommeerd historicus en Bijbelwetenschapper en is als Titus Street Professor of Ecclesiastical History werkzaam aan Yale University. In Schotland richtte hij het St. Andrews Institute for Reformation History op. Eerder schreef hij het lovend ontvangen Calvin, over Johannes Calvijn. Over Calvin: ''Deze biografie excelleert in het geven van een nauwkeurig en gedetailleerd narratief. Gordon geeft ons het verhaal in zijn volledige complexiteit. The Times Literary Supplement ''Een wetenschappelijke maar toegankelijke studie die niet hagiografisch is maar een eerlijke beoordeling. Gordon geeft een gebalanceerde visie.'' Library Journal ''Bruce Gordon is een autoriteit op het gebied van de Zwitserse Reformatie, en zijn beschrijving van Calvijn in een bredere context van Europese politiek is onovertroffen. Een geweldig boek.'' The Weekly Standard
