Théologie

This book bears with it a grand subject: the historical and literary resurrection of one of the major figures of the Reformation, the long forgotten Reformer of French-speaking Switzerland, Pierre Viret (1511-1571).

In A New Day of Small Beginnings, Pierre Courthial paints on an expansive canvas the truths and history of Christianity from creation to the present. His interpretation of history is written from the perspective of a sovereign and personal God overseeing His covenantal plan-a design that remains unthwarted through the ages. From a heavenly panorama, he presents a clear image of history from antiquity to the deification of the modern state.

Pierre Viret's Simple Exposition is an English translation of his classic French work. Written as a conversation between two individuals, Matthew and Peter, this flowing dialogue is an easy-to-read, informal means of studying the basic truths of Christianity, written by the literary master Pierre Viret.

Viret's Catechism is an easy to read dialogue that gives the reader an introductory understanding of Christianity. 83 years before Westminster, Viret entitled his first section:
“The Chief End and purpose of the Creation of Man.”

Num momento em que a lei de Deus, revelada no Antigo e Novo Testamentos, e que trata sobre a vida pessoal, conjugal, familiar, econômica, social, científica, política, etc., dos homens, é violada, ridicularizada e relegada — mesmo por quem Deus convocou para ser “sal da terra”, “luz do mundo” e “coluna e sustentáculo da Verdade” —, Jean-Marc Berthoud nos traz, nas páginas que se seguem, as razões cristãs, bíblicas, para retomar, ensinar e colocar em prática a lei dada por Deus, para que os homens andem nela.
— Pierre Courthial
