Book Synopsis Democracy Killed Jesus by : Ken Dill
Download or read book Democracy Killed Jesus written by Ken Dill and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians today feel that America is turning its back on God. Recent social issues have continually moved in the direction opposite of traditional Christian values. Most blame these developments on their leaders, hoping that if only the right person is elected this movement away from God will cease and we will return to the fundamental values from which this country has been founded. However, the problem is not with any of our leaders. The problem lies with the very form of government in which this country is founded: democracy. America is not a Christian country and it never was one, simply because of the government system that runs it. Democracy despite its near universal praise in the the western world by both secular and Christian parties is an institution that is fundamentally incompatible with the tenants of Christianity. An idea originally developed by the pagan Greeks, democracy at its core promotes ideas antithetical to the Christian values of humbleness, obedience and piety. The purpose of this work is to shed light on the ways democracy is not sanctioned by the Bible and how it ultimately promotes behavior that is not proscribed by God.

Book Synopsis Who Killed Jesus? by : John Dominic Crossan
Download or read book Who Killed Jesus? written by John Dominic Crossan and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The death of Jesus is one of the most hotly debated questions in Christianity today. In his massive and highly publicized The Death of the Messiah, Raymond Brown -- while clearly rejecting anti-Semitism -- never questions the essential historicity of the passion stories. Yet it is these stories, in which the Jews decide Jesus' execution, that have fueled centuries of Christian anti-Semitism. Now, in his most controversial book, John Dominic Crossan shows that this traditional understanding of the Gospels as historical fact is not only wrong but dangerous. Drawing on the best of biblical, anthropological, sociological and historical research, he demonstrates definitively that it was the Roman government that tried and executed Jesus as a social agitator. Crossan also candidly addresses such key theological questions as "Did Jesus die for our sins?" and "Is our faith in vain if there was no bodily resurrection?" Ultimately, however, Crossan's radical reexamination shows that the belief that the Jews killed Jesus is an early Christian myth (directed against rival Jewish groups) that must be eradicated from authentic Christian faith.

Book Synopsis The Historical Jesus in Context by : Amy-Jill Levine
Download or read book The Historical Jesus in Context written by Amy-Jill Levine and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historical Jesus in Context is a landmark collection that places the gospel narratives in their full literary, social, and archaeological context. More than twenty-five internationally recognized experts offer new translations and descriptions of a broad range of texts that shed new light on the Jesus of history, including pagan prayers and private inscriptions, miracle tales and martyrdoms, parables and fables, divorce decrees and imperial propaganda. The translated materials--from Christian, Coptic, and Jewish as well as Greek, Roman, and Egyptian texts--extend beyond single phrases to encompass the full context, thus allowing readers to locate Jesus in a broader cultural setting than is usually made available. This book demonstrates that only by knowing the world in which Jesus lived and taught can we fully understand him, his message, and the spread of the Gospel. Gathering in one place material that was previously available only in disparate sources, this formidable book provides innovative insight into matters no less grand than first-century Jewish and Gentile life, the composition of the Gospels, and Jesus himself.

Book Synopsis The Innocence of Pontius Pilate by : David Lloyd Dusenbury
Download or read book The Innocence of Pontius Pilate written by David Lloyd Dusenbury and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gospels and ancient historians agree: Jesus was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman imperial prefect in Jerusalem. To this day, Christians of all churches confess that Jesus died 'under Pontius Pilate'. But what exactly does that mean? Within decades of Jesus' death, Christians began suggesting that it was the Judaean authorities who had crucified Jesus--a notion later echoed in the Qur'an. In the third century, one philosopher raised the notion that, although Pilate had condemned Jesus, he'd done so justly; this idea survives in one of the main strands of modern New Testament criticism. So what is the truth of the matter? And what is the history of that truth? David Lloyd Dusenbury reveals Pilate's 'innocence' as not only a neglected theological question, but a recurring theme in the history of European political thought. He argues that Jesus' interrogation by Pilate, and Augustine of Hippo's North African sermon on that trial, led to the concept of secularity and the logic of tolerance emerging in early modern Europe. Without the Roman trial of Jesus, and the arguments over Pilate's innocence, the history of empire--from the first century to the twenty-first--would have been radically different.
Book Synopsis Radical Democracy and Political Theology by : Jeffrey W. Robbins
Download or read book Radical Democracy and Political Theology written by Jeffrey W. Robbins and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-06 with total page 898 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexis de Tocqueville once wrote that "the people reign over the American political world like God over the universe," unwittingly casting democracy as the political instantiation of the death of God. According to Jeffrey W. Robbins, Tocqueville's assessment remains an apt observation of modern democratic power, which does not rest with a sovereign authority but operates as a diffuse social force. By linking radical democratic theory to a contemporary fascination with political theology, Robbins envisions the modern experience of democracy as a social, cultural, and political force transforming the nature of sovereign power and political authority. Robbins joins his work with Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's radical conception of "network power," as well as Sheldon Wolin's notion of "fugitive democracy," to fashion a political theology that captures modern democracy's social and cultural torment. This approach has profound implications not only for the nature of contemporary religious belief and practice but also for the reconceptualization of the proper relationship between religion and politics. Challenging the modern, liberal, and secular assumption of a neutral public space, Robbins conceives of a postsecular politics for contemporary society that inextricably links religion to the political. While effectively recasting the tradition of radical theology as a political theology, this book also develops a comprehensive critique of the political theology bequeathed by Carl Schmitt. It marks an original and visionary achievement by the scholar the Journal of the American Academy of Religion hailed "one of the best commentators on religion and postmodernism."
Download or read book Who Killed Jesus? written by Julian Doyle and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the history of Christianity there have been those claiming a monumental secret. Often centered around the Church of St. Sulpice in Paris and associated with French esoteric circles like Debussy who wrote in a review: "Perhaps it's to destroy that scandalous legend that Jesus Christ died on the cross." But even Canon Alfred Lilley came back from St. Sulpice questioning the crucifixion. There must have been some documentation in the church that convinced these people of something portentous. Here for example is a letter sent by Louis Fouquet to his brother after a meeting in Rome with the mysterious painter Poussin. 'According to him (Poussin), it is possible that nobody else will ever rediscover in the centuries to come.' But now searching links between the history of Rome and the latest Biblical research, we finally reveal the extraordinary and truly monumental secret that Fouquet thought 'nobody would ever rediscover in the centuries to come. The publication of 'Who killed Jesus' will no doubt make the re-evaluation of Christianity, as we knew it, inevitable.
Book Synopsis The Christian Cross in American Public Life by : John R. Vile
Download or read book The Christian Cross in American Public Life written by John R. Vile and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross is one of Christianity’s most distinctive symbols, increasingly cutting across Catholic/Protestant and other denominational divides. Although the US acknowledges no official religion, a variety of both Christian and non-Christian denominations have flourished. Crosses dot the landscape, sometimes towering over it and at other times simply marking a grave or the site of a traffic accident, or providing a place for contemplation. Courts continue to decide whether it is better to remove long-standing crosses on public property to protect the separation of church and state, or whether removing such symbols might be misinterpreted as expressing hostility towards religion. Whether marking identity, triumph, love, grief, or sacrifice, the cross remains important in American life and continues to be the subject of works of art, music, literature, and political, religious, and social rhetoric, all of which this volume addresses in an accessible A-to-Z format.

Book Synopsis AMERICA FAILS AS JESUS IS BETRAYED by : George Joseph K PhD
Download or read book AMERICA FAILS AS JESUS IS BETRAYED written by George Joseph K PhD and published by GOD JESUS PROOF ACADEMY. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive survey of the core issues in rebuilding America and rescuing the world, which the US will have to address with urgency to survive and sustain its democratic and superpower status. Blind leaderships have led America to the destruction of its very foundations. America can afford no more mistakes in the gruesome ideological battle. America might be defeated through the moral decay of its own people. Military will not help. The ideological subversion of USA through the invasion of the Trojan Horses of Yoga and refugees will lead to the democratic demise of the greatest democracy in history. America is confronting a crisis in jurisprudence. Many are legislating for devil and executing national death. Advocating and legalizing ethical perversions like abortion, same sex marriage, bestiality etc. in the name of democracy, freedom and individual rights will reverse American civilization back into Stone Age and Babylonian Captivity. Europe and USA rejected Christian faith and Biblical values. There is selective discrimination against Christian faith. They have rejected the true God Jesus and the true religion of Christian faith and have gone after all kinds of false religions. Thus America is losing the image of God and is shifting to the image of animals via bestiality. So God will soon reject them and punish them. Europe will soon democratically succumb to an antagonistic religious dictatorship and USA will fall in line with. Democracy will be folklore in Europe and USA within the next 30 years. Future generations will curse the irresponsible secular idiocratic leaders who legalize all the evils in the name of freedom. God will replace America with China as the next superpower. But if America repents like Nineveh, it will be a different story. America needs a President who really knows and agrees to the basic values of the nation. America needs a President who knows why and how empires rise and empires fall. Trump is not a leader with a senseless direction but a leader with a sense of direction. He is the David of American politics. Many Goliaths will fall before him, if he is faithful to God and Christian values. Clinton’s support for abortion and same-sex marriage is an index in the wrong direction.
Book Synopsis Jesus Was a Democrat by : Dan DeFreest
Download or read book Jesus Was a Democrat written by Dan DeFreest and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, conservatives have sought to impose an ideology upon the American people that has not intentionally, but inherently oppressed the middle class. As Newton proposed For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, while conservative political initiatives have uplifted the so called job creators, they have naturally stepped on the middle class in order to do so. Jesus Was a Democrat illustrates how American businesses have outsourced manufacturing jobs to third-world countries, and how the destruction of privatesector collective bargaining has forced middle-class workers to accept lower wages and loss of benefi ts, creating a buyers market for todays employers. Jesus Was a Democrat shows how Republicans ignorance of the past has led to economic, military and political failure today. Dan DeFreest has crafted a book that examines how Republicans have failed to understand their own moral dichotomies and connects the dots between their oppressive ideology and todays income and wealth disparity. Using a historical perspective, he shows how conservatives have stolen the future from our middle class and brought this country to the brink of political revolution.
