Download or read book When Jesus Came to Harvard written by Harvey Cox and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2006 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this urgently relevant, wholly enlightening discussion of modern moral decisions, the Harvard theology professor Harvey Cox considers Jesus"s contemporary significance. Moving far beyond the simple question "What Would Jesus Do?" Cox shows how we can extrapolate moral guidance from the parables of Jesus. As he did in his undergraduate class "Jesus and the Moral Life"-a course that grew so popular that the lectures were held in a theater often used for rock concerts-Cox holds contemporary dilemmas in the light of lessons gleaned from the Gospels. Delving into centuries of theological exploration, he "pulls off a near miracle as he gathers disparate scholarly and religious views of Jesus, while demonstrating respectful, deep knowledge of Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist traditions, and various Christian teachings" (Seattle Times). Invigorating and incisive, this book encourages an intellectual approach to faith and inspires a clear way of thinking about moral choices for all readers.

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.

Download or read book The Historical Christ and the Jesus of Faith written by C. Stephen Evans and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1996-04-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Jesus of Nazareth, as recounted in the New Testament, has always been understood by the church to be historically true. It is an account of the life, death, and resurrection of a real person, whose links with history are firmly signalled in the creeds of the early church, which affirm that Jesus `suffered under Pontius Pilate'. Contemporary historical scholarship has, however, called into question the reliability of the church's version of this story, and thereby raised the question as to whether ordinary people can know its historical truth. This book argues that the historicity of the story still matters, and that its religious significance cannot be captured by the category of `non-historical myth'. The commonly drawn distinction between the Christ of faith and Jesus of history cannot be maintained. The Christ who is the object of faith must be seen as historical; the Jesus who is reconstructed by historical scholarship is always shaped by commitments of faith. A reconsideration of the Englightenment epistemologies that underlie much historical scholarship shows that historical knowledge of this story is still possible. Such knowledge can be inferential, based on historical evidence. A careful look at contemporary New Testament studies, and the philosophical and literary assumptions upon which it rests, shows that this scholarship should not undermine the confidence of lay people who believe that they can know that the church's story about Jesus is true.

Download or read book The Vision of Matthew written by John P. Meier and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume Father Meier explores how Matthew remodeled the form, the Christological message, and the moral demand of the gospel. Part I shows Matthew's church in crisis. It was experiencing a shift in its Christian existence: from a narrow Jewish-Christian past to a universal Gentile future. To preserve yet reinterpret the particularistic traditions of that Jewish-Christian past, Matthew drew up a model of salvation history and then reshaped the gospel message to fit it. Part II offers a mini-commentary on the whole gospel to illustrate this reshaping of the message. Pericope by pericope, Matthew presents Jesus as Son of God and Son of Man, and therefore as 'the' definitive teacher of his Church. Indeed, the nexus between Christ and his Church emerges as the outstanding characteristic of Matthew's gospel. Part III studies Matthew's construction of a unified moral vision on the basis of this connection between Christ and Church. The basic stance of Jesus and his disciples towards the Mosaic Law is one of fulfillment - a 'prophetic' fulfillment which involves at times a deepening of, at times the abrogation of, the letter of the Law.

Download or read book Why Christianity Matters written by S J Thomason Ph D and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Creator's role in the world is undeniable. He is evident in our innate desires to believe in agency and to seek meaning and purpose. An omnipotent and intelligent designer best explains the uncaused cause of the Big Bang in cosmology and how the earth overcame statistically miraculous odds for its existence within ten habitable zones. A transcendent moral lawgiver best explains our universal and objective moral duties to do what's right. A transcendent source of beauty best explains our aesthetic apprehension of art, music, and beauty. A loving uncaused cause best explains our origins, meaning, morality, and purpose. This simple logic leads us to God. But what do we know about our God? Through a general revelation in nature, we can witness His appreciation of aesthetics, His intentionality, His omnipresence, and His omnipotence. Through Jesus Christ, we witness His omnibenevolence and tremendous love for His children. Jesus is the earthly manifestation of our Lord. Through Jesus' crucifixion, death and resurrection, God's perfect love, justice, and mercy were reconciled. He bore our sins and offers us salvation for a life of everlasting love. While today's Western societies keep shifting to the secular and rational, many of us have felt an increased desire to seek purpose and meaning in our lives. We want answers to life's biggest questions. Jesus has provided those answers - and we have substantial evidence for the validity of His resurrection and Christianity, more broadly. Christianity has benefited society in our medical facilities, universities, legal systems, political systems, and more over the past two thousand years. Throughout this book, support is offered for all of these assertions.
