Book Synopsis I Can't Date Jesus by : Michael Arceneaux
Download or read book I Can't Date Jesus written by Michael Arceneaux and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Featured as One of Summer’s most anticipated reads by the Los Angeles Times, Vogue, Vulture, Entertainment Weekly, ELLE, Buzzfeed, and Bitch Media. From the author of I Don’t Want to Die Poor and in the style of New York Times bestsellers You Can’t Touch My Hair, Bad Feminist, and I'm Judging You, a timely collection of alternately hysterical and soul‑searching essays about what it is like to grow up as a creative, sensitive black man in a world that constantly tries to deride and diminish your humanity. It hasn’t been easy being Michael Arceneaux. Equality for LGBTQ people has come a long way and all, but voices of persons of color within the community are still often silenced, and being Black in America is…well, have you watched the news? With the characteristic wit and candor that have made him one of today’s boldest writers on social issues, I Can’t Date Jesus is Michael Arceneaux’s impassioned, forthright, and refreshing look at minority life in today’s America. Leaving no bigoted or ignorant stone unturned, he describes his journey in learning to embrace his identity when the world told him to do the opposite. He eloquently writes about coming out to his mother; growing up in Houston, Texas; being approached for the priesthood; his obstacles in embracing intimacy that occasionally led to unfortunate fights with fire ants and maybe fleas; and the persistent challenges of young people who feel marginalized and denied the chance to pursue their dreams. Perfect for fans of David Sedaris, Samantha Irby, and Phoebe Robinson, I Can’t Date Jesus tells us—without apologies—what it’s like to be outspoken and brave in a divisive world.

Book Synopsis Even the Devil Quotes Scripture by : Robyn J. Whitaker
Download or read book Even the Devil Quotes Scripture written by Robyn J. Whitaker and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We are meant to take the Bible seriously, not literally.” —from the Introduction In Even the Devil Quotes Scripture, Robyn J. Whitaker looks to the Bible as a guide to interpreting the Bible, and her findings breathe new life into our understanding and use of Scripture. As it turns out, the uses of Scripture within Scripture are flexible, open to frequent reinterpretation, and rarely literal. For instance, Ezra and Nehemiah reinterpret laws about whether Jews can marry foreigners in the wake of the Babylonian exile. Their contradiction of earlier traditions found in Deuteronomic law do not invalidate Scripture but rather represent its diverse applications for the prophets’ specific situations. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus presents a more demanding interpretation of Mosaic law in the Sermon on the Mount, while in Mark’s Gospel he all but ignores its prohibition of working on the Sabbath. Yet the common ethos of the two gospels prioritizes compassion over legalism. Ultimately, Whitaker ascertains one definitive characteristic of inner-biblical interpretation: love. After all, the Old Testament passage most frequently quoted in the New Testament is Leviticus 19:18: “Love thy neighbor.” Thus, Whitaker proposes a hermeneutic of love—a litmus test for the validity of a scriptural interpretation measured in charity. Ideal for any devoted reader of the Bible, Even the Devil Quotes Scripture opens our eyes to the Bible as a living, loving gift of God’s unfolding revelation.
Book Synopsis Psychoanalytic Mediations between Marxist and Postcolonial Reading of the Bible by : Tat-siong Benny Liew
Download or read book Psychoanalytic Mediations between Marxist and Postcolonial Reading of the Bible written by Tat-siong Benny Liew and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first sustained conversation between Marxism, postcolonialism, and psychoanalysis in biblical studies This volume pursues critical readings of the Bible that put psychoanalysis into conversation with Marxist and postcolonial criticism. In these essays psychoanalysis provides a way to mediate between Marxism's materialist groundings and postcolonialism's resistance against empire. The essays in the volume illuminate the way empire has shaped the biblical text by looking at the biblical texts' silences, ruptures, oversights, over-emphases, and inexplicable elements. These details are read as symptoms of a set of oppressive material relations that shaped and continue to haunt the text in the ascendancy of the text in the name of the West. Features: Essays and responses from multiple perspectives and geographical locations, including Africa, Australia, Oceania, Latin America, and North America Psychoanalysis that considers how the traumas of colonialism manifest both materially and psychically Close readings of biblical texts

Book Synopsis The Lord of the Sabbath Opens His Book of Revelation by : Christopher Fung
Download or read book The Lord of the Sabbath Opens His Book of Revelation written by Christopher Fung and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intuitive logical thinking would suggest that Revelation should be: One biblically coherent and complete narration, That uses only natural and biblical symbols, To retell God's consistent work from beginning to end; That reveals Jesus and his resurrection as the focus; To call for decisive response from every person, For the creation which God loves and will glorify; To close God's written oracle to humankind. But almost no one has been able to demonstrate these. Through the lens of God bringing his created order from the beginning to his final Sabbath in Jesus Christ, and noticing an overlooked peculiarity of Revelation (chapter 20 is glaringly different to the rest of the chapters), the "mysteries" of Revelation are shown to be plainly manifested truths already in the Bible rather than esoteric and hidden teachings still to be deciphered. Centering Jesus in all things, Revelation filters out inconsequential and errant teachings and highlights the essential core of Judeo-Christianity to prompt a response from every person made in God's image. Poignantly, it shines a light on the current global crises--environmental, political, religious, and economic. This book's common-sense, context-first exegesis sets it apart from most other Revelation commentaries on the market.

Book Synopsis The Church, The Gospel and Culture by : John Thornhill
Download or read book The Church, The Gospel and Culture written by John Thornhill and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Thornhill (1929-2019), born in Brisbane, Australia, was educated at Marist Brothers Ashgrove and St John's College Woodlawn NSW. After entering the Society of Mary (Marist Fathers), he was chosen for doctoral studies and ordained in Rome in 1955. John's life was mainly in theological ministry-in teaching and guiding seminary students, as an author, theological consultant and in Adult Faith Education. He was, in turn, Superior of the Marist Seminary, Director of Sydney's Aquinas Academy, a member of the Provincial Council. He published books and many articles. He had a special interest in the Church, Christology, the faith / culture relationship, all within an overall pastoral framework. This collection of articles captures the scope (and development) of his theological concerns over many years. Especially valuable and illuminating is the opening chapter in which we are invited to share with John has he reflects on his theological journey. John Thornhill SM was one of Australia's most distinguished and respected theologians, known and loved for his dedication to the Catholic community, his gentleness and kindness, and his zeal for the Gospel. Apart from his several books, including Sign and Promise: A Theology of the Church for a Changing World (1988), and Making Australia: Exploring Our National Conversation (1992), John contributed many articles to theological debate, and Thomas Ryan sm and ATF Press have done us and John's legacy a fine service in gathering together some of these articles in this volume. The essays collected here bear witness to key concerns of John's theological and pastoral work: the centrality of Jesus and his Gospel, the proclamation of the good news, to Christian faith; ecumenism, including a grateful recognition of Protestantism's emphasis on the Gospel of salvation; awareness of cultural and historical circumstances, and the imperative for the Church to understand and creatively respond to the concrete contexts that its members inhabit; the centrality of Scripture to Christian faith, and the importance of a theology of Scripture in the life of the Church; a theology that engages at the highest intellectual level with key currents of thought, and, as an 'open orthodoxy', is receptive to whatever is true and life-giving in them. This collection reveals the heart of John's theological vocation: to bring thought and scholarship to the service of believers, to enable the Gospel to come alive in their midst. John's Marist charism emphasises a quiet, receptive presence to God: in these articles we are given some of the fruits of his own attentive presence, for the sake of serving and accompanying the pilgrim Church.
Download or read book Early Christian Witnesses written by and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2022-11-20 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles and talks included in this collection cover fifty years of theological engagement, the primary focus being on education for ministry in Australia and abroad. Despite the diversity of topics, such as hermeneutics, New Testament theology, preaching, ecumenical relations, and early church history, there is a connecting concern to listen to the unique voices of early Christian witnesses as foundational for the faith and the apostolic claims of the church in its present-day witness. The publication of these essays has been suggested for some time. Despite my reluctance to reissue articles written over a period of more than five decades, I have relented in the hope that there will be enough to engage the interest of a variety of readers, and not only former students in seminaries and theological colleges in Australia and various places overseas. Included here are mainly articles written specifically for publication in journals, but also lectures and talks to various groups of clergy, lay people, and theological students. Of prime concern has always been the explication of the Christian faith according to its earliest witnesses in the early church of apostles and martyrs. Faith remains attested and lived, approved not proven.
