Book Synopsis Crucified and Cursed Christ by : Elkanah K. Cheboi
Download or read book Crucified and Cursed Christ written by Elkanah K. Cheboi and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of cursing remains a significant aspect of life in many African countries. This book addresses this practice with the seriousness it deserves, arguing that Christ is the ultimate curse remover. Dr. Elkanah K. Cheboi examines the meaning and implications of the Pauline statement in Galatians that “Christ became a curse for us.” Drawing from biblical passages referencing judicial curses, and the widespread practice of cursing and blessing within the Ancient Near East and Greco-Roman world, he investigates how the crucified and cursed Christ provides the ultimate solution to the power and dominion of curses. Demonstrating the insufficiencies of curse remedies, both in the ancient world and the modern African context, this study offers christological insight into the implications of Christ’s death not simply for human sin but also human curses. Dr. Cheboi specifically examines parallels between the New Testament context and Kenya’s Marakwet culture, where curses are still deeply feared as life-threatening and generational. Offering powerful insight into aspects of contemporary African culture not always fully understood, this book integrates biblical scholarship with practical application and is an excellent resource for pastors, missionaries, and theologians alike.
Book Synopsis The Crucifixion of Jesus by : Gerard Stephen Sloyan
Download or read book The Crucifixion of Jesus written by Gerard Stephen Sloyan and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was crucifixion? Why was Jesus of Nazareth executed and what really happened? Gerard Sloyan begins with history and traces the development of the New Testament accounts of Jesus' death. He shows how Jesus' death came to be seen as sacrificial and how the evolving understandings of Jesus' death affected those who suffered most from it - the Jews. He then traces the emergence and development - in theology, liturgy, literature, art - of the conviction that Jesus' death was redemptive, as seen both in soteriological theory from Tertullian to Anselm, in the Reformation and modern eras, and in more popular religious responses to the crucifixion. Especially fascinating is the story of the emergence of a distinct "Passion piety" that still characterizes the West. In all this Sloyan detects the separation of the cross from Jesus' life and resurrection, allowing the mythicizing of an event too large for mere words to handle: the mystery of the cross.
Book Synopsis The Crucifixion by : Fleming Rutledge
Download or read book The Crucifixion written by Fleming Rutledge and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few treatments of the death of Jesus Christ have made a point of accounting for the gruesome, degrading, public manner of his death by crucifixion, a mode of execution so loathsome that the ancient Romans never spoke of it in polite society. Rutledge probes all the various themes and motifs used by the New Testament evangelists and apostolic writers to explain the meaning of the cross of Christ. She shows how each of the biblical themes contributes to the whole, with the Christus Victor motif and the concept of substitution sharing pride of place along with Irenaeus's recapitulation model.
Download or read book Reverse the Curse written by Tom Thoburn and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have problems in life. Everybody has problems. There is one initial source for our problems. The sin of Adam. There is also one cure for our problems. The cross of Jesus Christ. Reverse the Curse will show you how Jesus reversed the curse of Adam's sin by going to the cross. It reveals, in faith building detail, how the events of the crucifixion of Jesus reversed every element of Adam and Eve's sinful rebellion to the command of God. Reverse the Curse details Jesus becoming accursed for us so we can be set free from curses, even curses spoken by God. It also reveals the practical outcomes of this spiritual truth. If you can receive it, the message of Reverse the Curse will have a real effect upon you. Where this message has been preached and taught, it has opened eyes and built faith. It has resulted in a fresh release of the power of God to save, heal and deliver. It all comes through the power of the cross. After all, the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God. You will be truly blessed and inspired to dig into the Word of God and know His power in a greater way because of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Book Synopsis Christ Crucified by : Klaas Schilder
Download or read book Christ Crucified written by Klaas Schilder and published by Sovereign Grace Publishers,. This book was released on 2001-11 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These superb works are without equal in modern literature. Schilder ''brings the reader into touch with the spiritual and temporal forces which converged during the Passion Week. He is careful to keep Christ central, and he blends in a masterful way this culmination of our Lord's earthly life with historical facts and psychological realities'' (Cyril Barber, The Minister's Library). Schilder was a noted Dutch scholar of the early twentieth century. The three volumes of this work were translated by Henry Zylstra. They first appeared in 1937. The three volumes cover three aspects of the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus Christ. They are entitled: Christ Crucified, Christ in His Suffering, and, Christ On Trial. In The Minister's Library, Cyril Barber states: ''Theologically accurate, abounds in suggestive insights, and provides exegetical illumination for a score of Easter sermons. It is a classic treatment on the passion of Christ. [It} deserves a place in every pastor's library. [The three volumes} cover the night of His betrayal to His condemnation . . . [it is] a learned, accurate treatment.'' That says a lot about this unique, very important work. It is simply indispensable to the understanding and feeling of the power of the passion of Christ. To put it into the words of the Apostle Paul, all should feel as he did, ''[Oh that I might] ''be found in Him . . . to know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, having been conformed to His death, if somehow I may attain to a resurrection out of the dead'' (Philippians 3:9-11). Through the guidance and inspiration of God the Holy Spirit Schilder has captured the drama and the pathos of Christ's ordeal, and yet also passes on to the reader the triumph and the exultation of Christ as He completes His voluntary submission to the Father's will: ''Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You prepared a body for Me. You did not delight in burnt offering and sacrifices concerning sins. Then I said, Lo, I come in the heading of the Book it was written concerning Me, to do Your will, O God'' (Psalm 39:6-9; Heb. 10:5-7). No child of God is completely mature until he or she has gone to Gethsemane and followed the trail of Christ as He approached the hour when He must endure unspeakable humiliation, pain, and the suffering of momentary loss of the Father's presence with Him. It is no wonder that He sweat blood at the prospect, for He was not ignorant of what He must go through in order to provide salvation for His sheep: ''The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep'' (John 10:11). No one will better draw you down to the depths of this drama, a scene which only one Person could have endured, than Schilder. You will not be the same after you have followed Christ through these stirring looks that Schilder gives you - you will be a better Christian, by far. This is a Best Set in Print. Schilder was a man of many gifts, without any doubt. Anyone who has read his writings, even some of them, will readily acknowledge that he possessed the ability to look at various theological questions in different ways and to express his ideas in sometimes eloquent ways which were often fresh and new. 560 pages, blue hard cover
Book Synopsis The Cross of Christ by : Andrew Murray
Download or read book The Cross of Christ written by Andrew Murray and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Murray relates in this work the importance of the cross to Christian belief, and to the lessons which Jesus Christ wanted to teach all of mankind. Although demonstratively brief, Murray's explanations contain a conviction and poignancy, explaining the centrality and vitality of the crucifix to the Christian faith. The crucifixion's importance in Christ's message and destiny, and the reasons behind why his spirit was led to a painful end upon the cross, are keenly discussed by Murray. He delivers explanations of the cross as a symbol of Christian attainment, wherein God takes possession of the human soul and frees it from sin for eternity. Andrew Murray authored 200+ works on the religion and ministry of Christianity, the Bible, and on topics inspiring Christians to lead virtuous and happy lives. Murray spent most of his life imparting the word of God in churches throughout South Africa, and in the 1880s became an important figure in the founding of the South African General Mission.
Book Synopsis Christ Crucified by : Donald Macleod
Download or read book Christ Crucified written by Donald Macleod and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How could the life, let alone the death, of one man 2,000 years ago be the salvation of the human race? The biblical explanation is the atonement: the crucified one was the Son of God, acting and suffering in cooperation with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is presented in all four Gospels, and occupies considerable space in the overall narrative. The death of this one person has universal, inclusive and cosmic significance, because in him the Creator acts and suffers. This is the primary answer to "the scandal of particularity." There is also a special relationship between Christ and humanity—he was with us, and he was for us. The grandeur of the cross lies in the fact that the incarnate Son of God offered himself in our place, bearing the penalty for our sin. Donald Macleod considers seven key words Christians have used through the centuries to describe what happened on the cross: substitution, expiation, propitiation, reconciliation, satisfaction, redemption and victory. No single one of these tells the whole truth, nor do all of them together exhaust the meaning of the cross. Macleod shows that these concepts are interrelated and interdependent, and that together they give a coherent picture of the salvation wrought by Jesus at Calvary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Do You Wear A Cross? Why is the universal symbol of Christianity the method of Jesus execution? Is this morbid fascination with crucifixion Biblical? Is the death of Jesus to be the dominant theme of Christianity? What is the reason for the irrational contempt and hatred for the Cross in todays culture? In Understanding the Mystery of the Cross, author Mike Beecham explains why only crucifixion could redeem humanity no other death would do. Some of the topics addressed in this book: How man was separated from God and reconciled to God at a tree. The similarities between Adams fall and Jesus crucifixion. How God used the blueprint of mans fall in the Garden of Eden as a pattern to follow to provide mans redemption at the Cross of Christ. How this ancient event impacts our life today. Join the author on a journey to discover not only what happened to Jesus on that cross, but what happened to you!
Book Synopsis The Cursed Christ by : Bradley H. McLean
Download or read book The Cursed Christ written by Bradley H. McLean and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1996-05-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first part of this study, McLean deals with Paul's letters synchronically, critiquing the traditional sacrificial interpretation of Paul's atonement theology and offering an alternative model, previously unexplored in scholarship; the argument is not genealogical, but analogical, drawing on the work of Jonathan Z. Smith. In the second part, McLean describes and builds on the method of John Hurd, studying the development of Paul's soteriology diachronically; Paul's letters are examined in chronological order, and the sociological factors that contributed to each development are examined. Finally, Paul's soteriology is placed against the broader canvas of early Christianity, especially the communities associated with Q and the Gospel of Thomas.

Book Synopsis Theodicy and the Cross of Christ by : Tom Holmén
Download or read book Theodicy and the Cross of Christ written by Tom Holmén and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The death of Jesus is commonly regarded as the one radically novel perspective from which the problem of suffering is viewed in the New Testament, as opposed to the appropriation of viewpoints present elsewhere in contemporary writings and in the Old Testament. Tom Holmén's focus on the death of Jesus as a source of New Testament theodicy reveals a two-fold reasoning: the lasting relevance of the theme of Jesus' death on the cross and theodicy, and the lack of thorough and sustained New Testament investigations into this theme. Holmén's argument focuses on the changes in the concept of suffering occasioned by the unprecedented sacrifice of Jesus. He explores both the derivative nature of suffering as God's retribution or a test for discipline – in line with the traditions known in the time contemporary to the formation of the New Testament – and the sharp, wholly new contrast of suffering as intercessory in the crucifixion of Christ, Son of God, appearing to the world as 'impossible'. Holmén considers many issues in his discussion, including the context of providence and covenant, and the problem that Jesus' death causes for theodicy. He also examines other perspectives, such as the writings of Paul, and practical considerations of coping with anguish. Taken as a whole, this study provides a fresh examination of the crucifixion's central role for understanding New Testament approaches to suffering.

Book Synopsis Too Blessed to Be Cursed by : Agwanihu Obinna Fabian
Download or read book Too Blessed to Be Cursed written by Agwanihu Obinna Fabian and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To excel in life you have to function and operate from the position of power, authority and dominion. God created man with power and called man to dominate but in the lives of many Christians the reverse seems to be the case, this is because they are living out of the position that God has destined for them. Most Christians live their lives from the opposite direction, trying to live from the earth to the heavenlies. The right position should be to live from the heavenlies to the earth. When you operate from the angle of power and fully realize who you are then you will truly know that you are too blessed to be cursed. You are made in the image of God and you are here to reign on earth. When you operate kingdom secret, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness and every other thing will be added unto you then you will realize that you are too gifted and too talented to fail that is the secret. When you live in contrast to the above secret you discover that you will be pursuing the things that are supposed to come to you naturally. Jesus came into the world to redeem you and me and take us back to our positions. Christianity is about getting back to the place where you were before the fall of man. The bible said that for the joy that was set before Him He endured the cross. He left his position in heaven came to earth, died for us and redeemed us to restore us to our position. That is why Apostle Paul said we were crucified with Him, buried with Him and when He rose from the dead we rose with Him and where He is there we are. The bible said we are sitteth in heavenly places with Christ Jesus far above every principality and power. Far above every curse, far above every failure, far above every limitation, far above every sickness, far above every disappointment etc your position is with Jesus. Bible said we are complete in Him who is the head of all principalities and powers. I want you to know that if you are out of position the power will not move in your condition but if you are in position the power will move in your condition, so if you are favored in your position then you are favored in your condition. I pray that this book will help you in your quest to get back to your position. Like I said it is you that is called to dominion and not the devil to dominate you.
Download or read book Christ Crucified written by John Foxe and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-02-04 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1570, at the request of Edmund Grindal, Bishop of London, John Foxe preached a sermon at Paul's Cross, which was an open-air pulpit {on the grounds of St. Paul's Cathedral} of mostly timber with room for 3 or 4 inside it, set on stone steps with a lead-covered roof and a low surrounding wall. From here was preached much of the English Reformation, with sermons preached here usually printed and thus redistributed to a wider audience. This lofty exposition of the Protestant doctrine of redemption and attack on the doctrinal errors of the Papist Church was enlarged and published that year as A Sermon of Christ Crucified. "To know the crucified sacrifice of Christ's body to be a perfect deliverance of all his people, to be a full satisfaction once, and for ever, for all our sins - to be a free justification, redemption, and righteousness before God for ever, to all them that believe in him, without any other means or help adjoined to him - this is to know Christ Jesus crucified." Foxe.
