Book Synopsis How God Forms Abraham to Be a Blessing by : Qiang Fu
Download or read book How God Forms Abraham to Be a Blessing written by Qiang Fu and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-02-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to understand God’s interactions with Abraham in relation to God’s command that Abraham “be a blessing” (Gen 12:2d), which is directly tied to God’s goal that “in you all the families of the earth will be blessed” (Gen 12:3b). The book proposes a formative narrative approach to examine interactions between character and plot, the movement of plot, and the connection between sequential plots. An analysis of thirteen Abrahamic narratives (Gen 12–22) suggests a classification based on four different types of interactions between God and Abraham, which indicate how cooperation and conflict between God and Abraham advance the narrative’s plot. The book then proposes a narrative discourse analysis to examine how Abraham evolved through different stages of the narrative by moving from deviation to cooperation. Detailed analysis of this transformation process reveals three turning points in Abraham’s life. The formative narrative approach and narrative discourse analysis proposed in this book can contribute to the analysis of two important aspects of Old Testament narratives: the formation of plot and the cause-and-effect structure in narrative discourse.

Book Synopsis Abraham, Blessing and the Nations by : Keith N. Grüneberg
Download or read book Abraham, Blessing and the Nations written by Keith N. Grüneberg and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph investigates Genesis 12:3 in its context in the final form of Genesis. The author argues that the verse is, first, a promise of security and greatness to Abraham and Israel. However, its position following Genesis 1-11 also indicates a divine plan to extend blessing to all the peoples of the earth. Supporting this understanding of the verse, the author examines the close parallels that Genesis and Numbers 24:9 have to Genesis 12:3. He also presents a detailed consideration of the concept of blessing in the Old Testament and of the niphal and hithpael stems of the verb barak. Ph.D. dissertation under the supervision of Dr R. W. L. Moberly, Durham, UK.
Book Synopsis Religion of the Fathers by : Denver C. Snuffer Jr.
Download or read book Religion of the Fathers written by Denver C. Snuffer Jr. and published by Restoration Archive. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first and most complete religion belonged to Adam and Eve. They lived with God, and after being cast out, they retained a memory of living in God's presence. Adam taught the first eight patriarchs born after him the Religion of the Fathers, which involved direct communion, contact, and connection between mankind and God. It enabled the faithful to hear directly from the Lord His promise of eternal life, to seal them by covenant into His Heavenly Family. Despite nearly universal apostasy and rebellion against God while Adam lived, the line of first or Patriarchal Fathers preserved the true religion. Their religion was Adam's religion, and their understanding reached back to the Garden of Eden. They experienced visions, ascended into Heaven, obtained promises of exaltation, and were transformed by their experiences from men into angels of God. After Shem (Melchizedek), an apostasy lasted until Abraham. Although he was raised by an idolater, Abraham searched for the true God of Heaven. He "sought for the blessings of the Fathers," the very thing Malachi prophesies will return before the great and dreadful return of the Lord. Like Adam (at the beginning) and his descendant, Enoch, Abraham was caught up into Heaven and received a tutorial endowment from God. The covenant of the first Fathers was renewed and conferred upon him by Melchizedek, thereby restoring continuity back to Adam. Abraham represents the key Patriarchal Father prophesied of in Malachi. Abraham not only renewed the covenant of the Fathers (including Noah and Enoch), but also, through the Abrahamic covenant, God established Abraham as the new head of the family of God on Earth. The Book of Abraham has become a battleground because it is so important for our salvation. Recovering the Religion of the Fathers, becoming of one heart with the Fathers, and fulfilling the prophecy of Malachi are directly connected to Abraham. The more we can learn of Abraham, the more we can know of the covenant with the Fathers spoken of by Malachi, and those same blessings of the Fathers that will be administered again before the end. We can, if faithful, obtain all that the original Fathers received from God at the beginning. Therefore, any book written by Abraham should be priceless to us. The Lord's "strange act" is approaching completion. The promises made to the Fathers are being vindicated. The Restoration has recommenced, and if we are faithful, it will not be paused or interrupted again. Although Israel's numbers are few, there have never been great numbers willing to sacrifice everything for God. The Religion of the Fathers presents a strong defense of the authenticity of the Book of Abraham as translated through Joseph Smith Jr. in 1835, and subsequently published in the Times & Seasons in 1842. It also presents an expanded view of the Restoration of the gospel, its ancient roots, current covenants, and prophesied future. Topics covered include Christianity, miracles, heaven, hell, the apocalypse, truth, the Bible, the devil, historical evidence, Lectures on Faith, the Ten Commandments, signs of the times, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, the law of consecration, the Joseph Smith Papers, Joseph's journal, the translation process, the destiny of the Christian church, polygamy, saving grace, and many more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great multitude that no one could count . . . cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."

Download or read book The Blessings of Abraham Can Be Yours written by Lilah MacKenzie and published by Essence Pub. This book was released on 2003-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham, a great man of faith, was revered very highly by everyone. God promised that through Abraham's seed, a blessing would come that would bless all families of the earth. This blessing is for us today, Jew and Gentile alike. Many are missing out on the very thing that God intended for us to have. Paul wrote That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:14). Jesus wants us to have the Blessing of Abraham. Lilah MacKenzie and her husband, Omer, live in Blackville, NB, Canada. Blackville is a small village located on the banks of the beautiful and famous Miramichi River. Now that Lilah is retired, she is able to pursue her passion for writing. Over the years she has written several short stories, poems, tributes, etc., for her family and friends. The inspiration for The Blessing of Abraham Can Be Yours, her second book to be published, came as she was researching her first book, A Dream With a Message.

Book Synopsis Recovering the Full Mission of God by : Dean Flemming
Download or read book Recovering the Full Mission of God written by Dean Flemming and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is our gospel witness too small? Should the gospel be proclaimed in words only? Or should we preach the gospel in deeds—and when necessary use words? Or are we missing something in playing the witness of words against deeds? If you are concerned about evangelizing the post-Christian West or the world beyond, you have probably debated this issue. And evangelical instincts drive us to Scripture. In Recovering the Full Mission of God, Dean Flemming joins biblical scholarship with missionary experience as he surveys the Old Testament and then looks closely at the New Testament and the early church. Flemming shows how the three strands of telling, doing and being relate in the mission of God and his people. Here is a book in touch with the missional realities of our time and grounded in the missional vision of biblical revelation. It gives us a clear vision of the rich and multifaceted nature of "gospeling" the kingdom of God.

Darline Peipman has brought us a new and broader understanding of Abraham and his life from thousands of years ago. This book is a must read! hrough much painstaking research, J. Darline Peipman has expanded our understanding of the Hebrew text and the life and times of Abraham.

Her husband is now a pastor of a local church near where they live on Long Island, New York.
Book Synopsis Be a Blessing by : Elizabeth Ellen Ostring
Download or read book Be a Blessing written by Elizabeth Ellen Ostring and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing the techniques of narratology and literary analysis, this study examines the foundational biblical text of Genesis to develop the theology of ordinary human work that emerges from it. The study offers a history of Christian theologies of human work as well as a unique approach to both the topic of work and the literary structure of Genesis. The emerging concept of blessing rather than achievement provides a refreshing and yet practical approach to human work. This is a valuable complement to the current interest in this topic, and one that, although challenging some current concepts, is encouraging.
