Book Synopsis Friendly Guide to Mark's Gospel by : Francis J. Moloney
Download or read book Friendly Guide to Mark's Gospel written by Francis J. Moloney and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Australia's greatest scripture theologians, Francis J Moloney SDB, again brings the world of the gospels to life in this addition to the Friendly Guide series of books. He introduces us to the Gospel of Mark in a style that is not only friendly, but which provides a foundation for any further study of Mark and the relevance of this gospel as we live our own modern lives. Moloney explains that while the Gospel of Mark is the shortest, it is in some ways the most challenging of the four Gospels. From what we have already seen in tracing the relationship between Jesus and the disciples in the Gospel, it is clear that there are at least two parts to the Gospel. The first is set in Galilee, and it closes with Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ, and Jesus' prohibiting the disciples to say anything about this. The rest of the story has Jesus and the disciples either 'on the way' to Jerusalem, or in Jerusalem. The second half of the story tells the surprising message that Jesus can only be the Messiah and the Son of God as the suffering and dying Son of Man who will be raised by God. It is predicted and then acted out in the account of Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection. Francis J Moloney SDB is an internationally renowned scripture scholar and former leader of the Australian province for the Society of Don Bosco.

Book Synopsis A Friendly Guide to Luke's Gospel by : Stuart Moran
Download or read book A Friendly Guide to Luke's Gospel written by Stuart Moran and published by Friendly Guide. This book was released on 2012 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Friendly Guide to Luke's Gospel is an invitation to embark on a journey full of surprises. The author of Luke was an accomplished and sophisticated writer, with a keen sense of literary structure as well as a profound understanding of the universal nature of God's love. For the reader who has perhaps become used to hearing gospels in Sunday fragments, Stuart Moran's commentary encourages us to read Luke's Gospel as a whole book, seeing it as a story crafted by a master hand. For example, he shows the reader Luke's elegant balancing of the stories about the births of both Jesus and John the Baptist: the parallels are compelling and illuminating. And Moran's analysis of the story of the Lost Son (known of old as the Prodigal Son) shows us the heart of Luke's insight into what Jesus was telling his disciples about God: that God loves us, even to a point that some would consider unwise.This book will be a valuable resource for anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding of not just the gospels, but also of what it means to be loved so much by God. Just how far will God go to show us this love? We can see how far Jesus understood this and how much he strove to show this to the stubborn band of people surrounding him. Moran also shows us that Luke's special gift is to assert the Good News for all the people of the earth. Written for an audience that went far beyond the walls of Jerusalem, Moran's Friendly Guide to Luke's Gospel is an indispensable resource for readers, teachers, and all who wish to deepen their understanding of this, the tenderest of all the gospels. Stuart Moran has provided for a wide readership an up-to-date, clear and very engaging guide to Luke's Gospel. Enticed by the opening paragraph, the reader is carried along effortlessly on an informative journey with Luke. This is popular distillation of sound scholarship in the best sense.Brendan Byrne"

Book Synopsis The Message of Mark by : Donald English
Download or read book The Message of Mark written by Donald English and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fast-paced vitality of Mark's narrative wins the hearts of today's readers on its own terms. Yet while at first glance Mark appears to be a simple account of Jesus' ministry, a serious study raises all kinds of questions: Why doesn't Jesus make his true identity more obvious to the crowds? Why do his disciples find it so difficult to understand? Why is Jesus' work met with such growing resistance? Like any great story, Mark's Gospel unveils its meaning to those who listen attentively, inquire patiently, and reflect on its significance. In The Message of Mark, Donald English offers a wise, welcoming, and nontechnical guide to this smallest of the four Gospels. Beginning with an exploration of Mark's purpose in writing, he examines the focal points of Jesus' teaching, the stories, the characters, and the original audience of the Gospel. Along with exposition of each section of the text, he draws out principles and applications about the nature of true faith, the cost of discipleship, and how we should receive God's Word today. Above all, English writes as one who has a passion to help others appreciate Mark's portrait of Jesus—the Son of Man and Son of God. As with all volumes in the Bible Speaks Today series, this book is characterized by three goals: to expound the biblical text with accuracy, to relate biblical teaching to contemporary life, and to be readable. This new edition includes updated language and current NIV Scripture quotations throughout, as well as a seven-session study guide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary series is established on the presupposition that the theological character of the New Testament documents calls for exegesis that is sensitive to theological themes as well as to the details of the historical, linguistic, and textual context. Such thorough exegetical work lies at the heart of these volumes, which contain detailed verse-by-verse commentary preceded by general comments on each section and subsection of the text.

Book Synopsis Cold-Case Christianity by : J. Warner Wallace
Download or read book Cold-Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Book Synopsis The Gospel According to Mark by : James R. Edwards
Download or read book The Gospel According to Mark written by James R. Edwards and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new Pillar volume offers exceptional commentary on Mark that clearly shows the second Gospel though it was a product of the earliest Christian community to be both relevant and sorely needed in today's church. Written by a biblical scholar who has devoted thirty years to the study of the second Gospel, this commentary aims primarily to interpret the Gosepl of Mark according to its theological intentions and purposes, especially as they relate to the life and ministry of Jesus and the call to faith and discipleship. Unique features of James Edwards's approach include clear descriptions of key terms used by Mark and revealing discussion of the Gospel's literary features, including Mark's use of the "sandwich" technique and of imagistic motifs and irony. Edwards also proposes a new paradigm for interpreting the difficult "Little Apocalypse" of chapter 13, and he argues for a new understanding of Mark's controversial ending.
