Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Book Synopsis The Gospel of Mark by : John R. Donahue
Download or read book The Gospel of Mark written by John R. Donahue and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Gospel of Mark Fathers Donahue and Harrington use an approach that can be expressed by two terms currently used in literary criticism: intratextuality and intertextuality. This intratextual and intertextual reading of Mark's Gospel helps us to appreciate the literary character, its setting in life, and its distinctive approaches to the Old Testament, Jesus, and early Christian theology. "Intratextuality" means we read Mark as Mark and by Mark. Such a reading expresses interest in the final form of the Gospel (not its source or literary history) and in its words and images, literary devices, literary forms, structures, characterization, and plot. Reading Mark by Mark gives particular attention to the distinctive vocabulary and themes that run throughout the Gospel and serve to hold it together as a unified literary production. "Intertextuality" comprises the relation between texts and a textual tradition, and also referring to contextual materials not usually classified as texts (e.g., archaeological data). "Intertextuality" is used to note the links of the text of Mark's Gospel to other texts (especially the Old Testament) and to the life of the Markan community and of the Christian community today.
Book Synopsis Jesus’S Radical Teachings by : Gordon Rogers
Download or read book Jesus’S Radical Teachings written by Gordon Rogers and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is easy sometimes to push the Lord out of our minds. He is so holy, pristine and powerful; how could Jesus ever be interested in me you think? You have made mistakes. We all have made mistakes. Perhaps you were in trouble with the law. You bounced some checks accidently. You havent prayed for a long time. You lost your job because you lost your temper. Again, you may say, why would God ever want me? All of us have had these thoughts in our most difficult moments. The Lord created humankind. He is an authority, an expert on humanity. God declares that he loves you with a mighty, magnificent and marvelous love. The topics in this book are very important for us. They come to us from the lips of Jesus. Jesus teaches us about gratitude, grace, giving, trust, positive influence, helping others, humility, forgiveness and action. God teaches us the value of each of these traits. When we incorporate these actions or traits into our lives, we are blessed. Some of Jesuss teachings are radical. He tells us to love our enemies, to forgive the unforgivable, to not think of ourselves as great masters but to be lowly servants. He declares that all people are very important. You may say some of his teachings are crazy but they are crazy good. If we can be filled with gratitude, grace, trust, generosity, humility, ministering to those in need and having a pure mind and heart. It is then that we find Gods peace and grace.
Book Synopsis Divorce in the New Testament by : Raymond F. Collins
Download or read book Divorce in the New Testament written by Raymond F. Collins and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few New Testament texts have had their meaning debated so vigorously as those in which Jesus discusses divorce: Matthew 5:32, Matthew 19:6, 9; Mark 10:9-12; Luke 16:18; and 1 Cor 7:11. From the early Church, through there formation, and into the present day, they have continued to rouse debate within the Churches and among believers. This work focuses on one aspect of that debate; namely, what Jesus has to say regarding divorce when his sayings are interpreted in their literary and historical context. To aid in this contextual understanding, the sayings are studied in the order in which they were written down in ancient times. Not every aspect of the debate therefore is addressed - nor could it be on an issue of such personal and pastoral complexity. Yet it is the challenge of biblical scholars to study the Word of God - in all its complexity - and to try to make that Word understandable. This work is offered to scholars and believers alike in the hope of adding to that understanding.

Download or read book Jesus the Radical written by H. C. Kim and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-05-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you think about when someone mentions Easter? The Easter Bunny and brightly colored eggs? Wonderful sales on clothing? Special deals in your favorite restaurant? The first Easter two thousand years ago was not celebrated by hordes of people as if it were just another holiday. On this day, Jesus of Nazareth found his disciples frightened and tearful. The followers of Jesus Christ were recovering from the sadness that they had felt at the horrific manner in which Jesus had been beaten, humiliated, and crucified. Jesus' disciples were afraid for their own lives, having seen their Lord crucified on the cross like a common criminal who deserved the death penalty. The enemies of Christ were jubilant because they thought that they had wiped out the Jesus movement, the nascent Christianity that had emerged in the land. Shouts of "Crucify Him! Crucify Him" still rang in the ears of many. Who would have thought that the first Easter would become so central in the history of the world? Some Christians have willingly given up their lives to celebrate the first Easter. In this collection of poems, H. C. Kim focuses on the immediate events leading up to the first Easter and ponders the resurrection message.

T. France and David Wenham.
Book Synopsis Meet Paul Again for the First Time by : David Christian Clausen
Download or read book Meet Paul Again for the First Time written by David Christian Clausen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold, new look at the apostle Paul will challenge longtime thinking about the “apostle to the gentiles.” Unfortunately, common misperceptions and outdated characterizations continue to prevail in mainstream teaching and preaching about Paul. Meet Paul Again for the First Time introduces readers to a brand-new Paul which, as it turns out, was the original Paul all along. With clarity and purpose, Clausen rejects unfounded preconceptions about the apostle. For example, he did not teach a “law-free gospel,” he did not reject Judaism or the law, and he did not see himself as a miserable sinner who found forgiveness only in Christ. Based on a reappraisal of first-century Judaism, recognition of the pagan targets of Paul’s mission, and an appreciation for Paul’s skill as a Greco-Roman rhetorician and interpreter of Jewish scripture, Meet Paul Again brings consistency and clarity to critical Pauline concepts including the new covenant, works of the law, preservation and deliverance, the future of Israel, and the status of gentiles in God’s family. Paul’s was a mission of inclusiveness. His primary objective was to preserve sinning gentiles from God’s wrath, and welcome them in worship beside their Jewish brothers and sisters, before the imminent arrival of the great and terrible Day of the Lord.
Book Synopsis Future Grace, Revised Edition by : John Piper
Download or read book Future Grace, Revised Edition written by John Piper and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.

Book Synopsis The Family Metaphor in Jesus’ Teaching, Second Edition by : Stephen Finlan
Download or read book The Family Metaphor in Jesus’ Teaching, Second Edition written by Stephen Finlan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised edition of The Family Metaphor in Jesus' Teaching examines the family metaphors for God (Father) and for believers ("children," "brothers") that Jesus chose to use. Jesus not only held up a child as an example of receptivity, but he defended actual children, warning against despising "one of these little ones." Using current discussions of the "equal-regard family" and of the importance of "human fathering," Stephen Finlan explores how the gospel entails a changed model of parenting and of marriage and a new approach to spiritual growth.
Book Synopsis Jesus and Creativity by : Gordon D. Kaufman
Download or read book Jesus and Creativity written by Gordon D. Kaufman and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2006-07-17 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lively interest today in the historical figure of Jesus is rarely matched by theological advances in understanding his person and significance for our own time and worldview. Gordon Kaufman takes up this challenge in this bold, speculative work. Despite the fabled difficulties of traditional Christological terms, few theologians since Tillich and Teilhard have sought to re-envision the symbol of Jesus within the contemporary scientific worldview. Building on his notion of God as simply creativity, Kaufman here locates the meaning of Jesus' salvific story within an evolving universe and a threatened planet. Outside the dualistic categories of the biblical worldview, he finds, the enormously creative and influential figure of the historic Jesus can have a vital role in the emergence and development of the cosmos and human history. Within that role, he argues, Jesus, his relation to God, and his centrality to Christian faith become clearer and our own lives and actions take on a new meaning.
