Book excerpt: As he did so brilliantly in his bestselling book, jewish literacy,Joseph Teluslikin once again mines a subject of, Jewish history and religion so richly that his book becomes an inspiring companion and a fundamental reference. In Biblical Lileracy, Telushkin turns his attention to the Hebrew Bible (also known as the Old Testament), the most iniluential series of books in human history. Along with the Ten Commandments, the Bible's most famous document, no piece of legislation ever enacted has influenced human behavior as much as the biblical injunction to "Love your neighbor as yourself." No political tract has motivated human beings in so many diverse societies to fight for political freedom as the Exodus story of God's liberation of the Israelite slaves--which shows that God intends that, ultimately, people be free. The Bible's influence, however, has conveyed as much through its narratives as its laws. Its timeless and moving tales about the human condition and man's relationship to God have long shaped Jewish and Christian notions of morality, and continue to stir the conscience and imagination of believers and skeptics alike. There is a universality in biblical stories: The murder of Abel by his brother Cain is a profound tragedy of sibling jealousy and family love gone awry (see pages 11-14). Abraham',s challenge to God to save the lives of the evil people of Sodom is a fierce drama of man in confrontation with God, suggesting the human right to contend with the Almighty when it is feared He is acting unjustly (see pages 32-34). Jacob's, deception of his blind father, Isaac raises the timeless question: Do the ends justify the means when the fate of the world is at stake (see pages 46-55). Encyclopedia in scope, but dynamic and original in its observations and organization, Biblical Lileracy makes available in one volume the Bible's timeless stories of love, deceit, and the human condition; its most important laws and ideas; and an annotated listing of all 613 laws of the Torah for both layman and professional, there is no other reference work or interpretation of the Bible quite like this Stunning volume.

Book excerpt: This thesis project set out to determine if an interactive preaching model would increase the biblical literacy of a particular congregation at a particular time and place, and therefore re-engage the congregation with the transformational study of the Scriptures. In this thesis biblical literacy is defined as knowing the contents of the Bible, with a solid understanding of the biblical story, therefore knowing what the Scriptures are saying rather than strictly being able to read the Scriptures. One of the assumptions that underlines this thesis is that the Scriptures are authoritative. The Bible remains today, as the Church has said throughout its history, the document in which the Word of God is active, in which the Word of God speaks. The research in this thesis begins by exploring the scriptures to see what they have to say about knowing scripture. This research is providing an overview of what scripture has to say about scripture, rather than trying to prove the need for scripture from scripture. The opening chapter highlights, through scriptural references, the role of the Scriptures in the Church. The research continues with a sampling of theologians, biblical scholars, and Christian writers from throughout history. These sources are used to illustrate the historical position of the Church regarding the critical importance of Biblical literacy. The research concludes with the doctrine of the United Church of Canada and how it continues to focus on biblical literacy. The project model was created to increase the reading of the Scriptures, with interpretation, as well as engagement. The methodology used for the project model includes participation, self-discovery, and self-learning by the participants, in the hope that what is learned, would be deeply learned. The project was created as a Participant Action Research (PAR) case study. The quantitative data for the project was gathered using pre-and post-tests and a focus group met following the project to offer qualitative data. The results of the project indicated that the biblical literacy of the congregation before the project was indeed low. Following the project, it was observed that learning occurred, biblical literacy increased. Overall the results revealed that the project achieved its goal of increasing biblical literacy using the interactive preaching model. The results also revealed that the method was sound. An increase in learning was demonstrated in both the quantitative data from the test results and from the qualitative results of the focus group feedback and PAR observations. What was unexpected was how the missional and spiritual calling of the respondents also increased as their biblical literacy increased. The biblical literacy project methods led to missional and spiritual changes in the participants and the church. These changes were led by the congregation without any prompting or direction from the researcher. It was the members of the congregation themselves who made the shift and began to follow more closely their calling to be the Church after reading the scripture. These spiritual and missional changes were observed because of the PAR structure.

Book excerpt: ECPA BESTSELLER • FINALIST FOR THE CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD® • Build your Bible IQ and Christian worldview in just fifteen minutes a day! Over the course of a year, Core 52 will help you master the 52 most important passages in the Bible. “You will gain the tools you need for living the life God has called you to.”—Kyle Idleman, pastor and author of Not a Fan “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”—1 Timothy 4:8 Most of us want to know the Bible better, but few reach our goal, often because we’re too busy or we don’t know where to start. Core 52 removes both barriers, offering a common-sense solution that fits into our busy lives. Respected Bible professor and teaching pastor Mark E. Moore developed this proven process from thirty-five years of helping people grow deeper in God’s Word. Each week features a brief essay, memory verse, Bible story, trajectory verses, and practical ways to put what you’ve learned into practice. An optional “Overachiever Challenge” offers the chance to memorize the top 100 Bible verses by year’s end. This simple approach allows you to become familiar with the big ideas of the Bible in less time and with less effort than other reading plans. In one year, you can master the core of the Bible—focusing on topics from God’s will to worry, happiness to holiness, and leadership to love. These fifty-two core passages are lenses through which you can read the rest of the Bible with clarity and confidence.

Download or read book Genesis 1 and the Creationism Debate written by Steven DiMattei and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern readers often assume that Genesis 1 depicts the creation of the earth and sky as we know it. Yet in an appeal for textual honesty, Steven DiMattei shows that such beliefs are more representative of modern views about this ancient text than the actual claims and beliefs of its author. Through a culturally contextualized and objective reading of the texts of Genesis 1 and 2, this study not only introduces readers to the textual data that convincingly demonstrate that Genesis' two creation accounts were penned by different authors who held contradictory views and beliefs about the origin of the world and of man and woman, but also establishes on textual grounds that what the author of Genesis 1 portrayed God creating was the world as its author and culture perceived and experienced it--not the objective world, but a subjective world, subject to the culturally conditioned views and beliefs of its author. In the end, this book clearly illustrates that the Bible's ancient texts do in fact represent the beliefs and worldviews of ancient peoples and cultures--not those of God, not those of later readers, and especially not those of modern-day Creationists.

Book excerpt: "This project was designed to address a decrease in Biblical literacy which impacts the reader or hearer of scripture who struggles to understand the context and content. The issue was addressed through teaching of Biblical basics and their application to passages being taught in sermons and small groups. Understanding of these basics was evaluated prior to and following the class presentation to understand if this methodology could be impactful. The examination of results indicate that biblical literacy increased through this teaching and through practice of applying this knowledge to specific passages."--Abstract

Download or read book A Brief Theology of Periods (Yes, really) written by Rachel Jones and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Bible say about periods? The average woman has 500 periods in her lifetime. And whether yours are mildly annoying, utterly debilitating or emotionally complicated, most of us have at one time or another asked: Why?! This warm, light-hearted, real, honest and at times surprising book gives a biblical perspective on menstruation, as well as a whole lot more. Beginning with periods, Rachel Jones takes readers on an adventure in theology, weaving together wide-ranging reflections on the nature of our bodies, the passing of time, the purpose of pain, and the meaning of life. One thing is for sure: you’ve never read a Christian book quite like this one. Whether you’re in need of hope and help, or are just downright curious, you’ll be refreshed and encouraged by this book. As Rachel puts it, “Whoever you are, my aim is that you reach the end of this book celebrating who God has made you, how God has saved you, and the fact that he speaks liberating and positive truth into all of life’s experiences (even periods)”.
