Book Synopsis The Jefferson Bible by : Thomas Jefferson
Download or read book The Jefferson Bible written by Thomas Jefferson and published by Wyatt North Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2014-01-05 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jefferson Bible, or The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth as it is formally titled, was a book constructed by Thomas Jefferson in the latter years of his life by cutting and pasting numerous sections from various Bibles as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus. Jefferson's composition excluded sections of the New Testament containing supernatural aspects as well as perceived misinterpretations he believed had been added by the Four Evangelists. In 1895, the Smithsonian Institution under the leadership of librarian Cyrus Adler purchased the original Jefferson Bible from Jefferson's great-granddaughter Carolina Randolph for $400. A conservation effort commencing in 2009, in partnership with the museum's Political History department, allowed for a public unveiling in an exhibit open from November 11, 2011, through May 28, 2012, at the National Museum of American History.

Book Synopsis The Best of the Bible by : Dean Kalahar
Download or read book The Best of the Bible written by Dean Kalahar and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-09-28 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a 21st century world of smart phones, social media, and instant access to almost everything, far too many just don't have the time, patience, or focus necessary to sit down and read the entire Bible. Still others want to explore Christianity or strengthen their faith because their understanding is limited and unfulfilling but do not have a resource that can cut to the core of the greatest book ever written. Now there is a solution. The Best of the Bible: New Testament scriptures condensed and sequenced to understand the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The Best of the Bible takes the most significant words and teachings of the New Testament and makes the Bible accessible to everyone in just 139 pages. The goal was to share the Bible in a user friendly format without changing a word, not an easy task. This allows a clear understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus so readers can make their own decision to move towards Christ's mission. For others of faith, this work will only strengthen their hearts. The New International version was used as the primary source for the scriptures, and no words have been altered from the text of any English Bible translation. What has been done is a painstaking removal of passages and verses in the 27 books of the New Testament to give the story a scope, sequence, and size found nowhere else. The least teachable or redundant passages have been removed that share the same stories and historical record. Sequencing also took place in order to give the life and teachings of Jesus a contextual timeline. The Best of the Bible Is the perfect starting point for anyone looking for understanding, inspiration, and hope through Jesus Christ; or for those who want to revisit the Bible to strengthen their faith.

Each was faced with extraordinary―even scandalous―challenges. But they had courage. They lived daring lives. Sometimes they made mistakes―big mistakes. And yet God, in His infinite mercy and grace, used them to bring forth the Christ, the Savior of the world. Their stories still hold great meaning and inspiration for us today. Tamar risked her life and reputation to be the woman she was called to be. See how the Lord uses our circumstances and our steps toward Him, however faltering, to fulfill His plan. Rahab was exploited by men who saw only her beauty, yet she held fast to her faith in God and was rewarded. Discover how God seeks and finds those whose hearts are tender toward Him, no matter how far away they are. Ruth’s loyalty, especially toward her mother-in-law Naomi, helped her persevere in the face of tragedy, and God gave her a second chance at love. Be encouraged that God will provide even when all hope seems lost. Bathsheba’s scandalous affair with David did not end in one night. Learn that God is willing to restore and redeem those lost in the depths of despair who call out to Him. Mary is one of the most revered women in history. But first, she was an ordinary woman striving to please God in the same way women still do today. When God spoke, Mary responded in obedience which changed the world forever. Each novella includes an in-depth Bible study perfect for personal reflection or group discussion. Watch these five women in the Bible come to life and learn from their examples of hope, faith, love, and obedience.

He foreshadowed the fact that he was going to be “broken” and “poured out”—he was going to take humanity’s punishment for sin on himself. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” Jesus warned his disciples that he would be with them only a little while longer. He went on to comfort his confused followers. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” 11.5-point type size
Book Synopsis A History of the Bible by : John Barton
Download or read book A History of the Bible written by John Barton and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literary history of our most influential book of all time, by an Oxford scholar and Anglican priest In our culture, the Bible is monolithic: It is a collection of books that has been unchanged and unchallenged since the earliest days of the Christian church. The idea of the Bible as "Holy Scripture," a non-negotiable authority straight from God, has prevailed in Western society for some time. And while it provides a firm foundation for centuries of Christian teaching, it denies the depth, variety, and richness of this fascinating text. In A History of the Bible, John Barton argues that the Bible is not a prescription to a complete, fixed religious system, but rather a product of a long and intriguing process, which has inspired Judaism and Christianity, but still does not describe the whole of either religion. Barton shows how the Bible is indeed an important source of religious insight for Jews and Christians alike, yet argues that it must be read in its historical context--from its beginnings in myth and folklore to its many interpretations throughout the centuries. It is a book full of narratives, laws, proverbs, prophecies, poems, and letters, each with their own character and origin stories. Barton explains how and by whom these disparate pieces were written, how they were canonized (and which ones weren't), and how they were assembled, disseminated, and interpreted around the world--and, importantly, to what effect. Ultimately, A History of the Bible argues that a thorough understanding of the history and context of its writing encourages religious communities to move away from the Bible's literal wording--which is impossible to determine--and focus instead on the broader meanings of scripture.
Download or read book Our Story written by Jonathan Woodroof and published by . This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's our story? What's this life all about? Over the past five years, I've been compiling text (and audio clips of the text) of the Old and New Testament scriptures, trying to weave together a solid overview of the great themes and consistent threads of the Bible. This narrative, "Our Story", is the result. I've tried to select clips of scripture (the scripture clips are taken from the English Standard Version of the Bible) that will give an honest searcher a good (and condensed) overview of this eternal redemptive story. At the heart of the story is Jesus, the Messiah. We cannot prove, beyond doubt, much of anything in life - life is just not like that. Every approach to life requires a faith of some kind. When I look at the magnificence of the creation around me - the wonder of the subatomic world, the intricacy of a newborn, the beauty of oceans and mountains, the vastness of the universe - I cannot believe that it all just happened through chance and time (some very intelligent people do believe it all just happened, but this also demands faith on their part). There is so much design and order and complexity and purpose in what I see, that it forces me to believe that it all was created - not by an incomprehensible energy source, randomness, and time - but by a Creator, and for a purpose. So what I'm searching to know is "Who is this Creator?" and "For what purpose did He create all this and place us here?" The Bible gives me a picture of this - it was "written over a period of some 1,500 years by over 40 different authors from all walks of life: shepherds, farmers, tent-makers, physicians, fishermen, priests, philosophers and kings." Despite this diversity, the Bible tells a remarkably consistent and compelling story (what philosophers call a "meta narrative"), that reveals the Creator's reason for doing all this. The Bible tells of a great redemptive story:- God created this universe, and created us for His eternal purposes. This life is full of "sign posts" that point us home to Him, and "events" designed to bring us to an end of ourselves. - God offered us an intimate relationship with Him, if we would keep covenant with Him; and choose to walk in His ways and obey His commandments. - Time and time again, God would covenant with man (Adam, Noah, and Abraham, Moses), and man would decide to break covenant with God and to go it alone; to call his own shots, to be his own god. - Then God, through Jacob, made a nation of Israel to play out His redemptive story before the nations. Calling Moses, God redeemed Israel from captivity in Egypt through the Red Sea, gave them His law (picturing what being in relationship with God looks like), set up His presence among them in the Tabernacle, and brought them across the Jordan into the promised land. - Though Moses pled with Israel to "Choose life", yet again, Israel broke covenant with God.Over and over, God sent His prophets to warn Israel about going its own way, and also to tell them of a coming Messiah who would be the path back to God. - In the fullness of time, God came, in the form of Jesus the Messiah (Immanuel - "God with us"), into our world to live among us, to experience every aspect of our life, and to show us life with God. - So that sinful man (the covenant breakers) could be reconciled back to God, God gave Jesus as our covenant (Isaiah 42:6), took our guilt, and died in our place, so that we might be granted life in Him. - Salvation requires believing in this redemptive story, surrendering one's will/life, and following this Jesus into the life for which God created us. - And in the fullness of time, God will return and make all things new; renewing His people, along with the whole cosmos, and God will dwell among His people, forever.
