Download or read book Revelations written by Elaine Pagels and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.
Book Synopsis Understanding End Times Prophecy by : Paul Benware
Download or read book Understanding End Times Prophecy written by Paul Benware and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.

Download or read book The Language of God written by Francis Collins and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-09-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?
Book Synopsis The Late Great Planet Earth by : Hal Lindsey
Download or read book The Late Great Planet Earth written by Hal Lindsey and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of The Late Great Planet Earth cannot be overstated. The New York Times called it the "no. 1 non-fiction bestseller of the decade." For Christians and non-Christians of the 1970s, Hal Lindsey's blockbuster served as a wake-up call on events soon to come and events already unfolding -- all leading up to the greatest event of all: the return of Jesus Christ. The years since have confirmed Lindsey's insights into what biblical prophecy says about the times we live in. Whether you're a church-going believer or someone who wouldn't darken the door of a Christian institution, the Bible has much to tell you about the imminent future of this planet. In the midst of an out-of-control generation, it reveals a grand design that's unfolding exactly according to plan. The rebirth of Israel. The threat of war in the Middle East. An increase in natural catastrophes. The revival of Satanism and witchcraft. These and other signs, foreseen by prophets from Moses to Jesus, portend the coming of an antichrist . . . of a war which will bring humanity to the brink of destruction . . . and of incredible deliverance for a desperate, dying planet.

Book Synopsis Jesus, the Prophets, and the End of the World by : Trevor Bucknell
Download or read book Jesus, the Prophets, and the End of the World written by Trevor Bucknell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Testament prophets and their writings were hugely instrumental in the formation of the second temple eschatology, so an appreciation of the Old Testament prophetic literature greatly helps us in understanding the life and ministry of Jesus and the rationale of the early church. Israel's story of divine election lay at the core of their identity as a nation and people, constantly reinforced in the religious practices and rituals that made up their lives. That story, by the time of Jesus, was heavily influenced by the eschatological expectations created by the prophets. The people of Israel expected, looked for, and waited for God's intervention in their history and in their lives once again as he had intervened in the past. The eschatological message of the prophets focused on two themes, the kingdom of God and the day of the Lord. The first theme largely found its fulfillment in the coming of Jesus and the birth of the church, though it awaits his return for its culmination. The book of Revelation presents an unfolding of the second theme, the day of the Lord. This forms the common theme in the prophets of God's final and culminating act of righteousness and justice in this age.

Book Synopsis The Return of King Jesus by : Rick Coram
Download or read book The Return of King Jesus written by Rick Coram and published by Launch!. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most recurring prophetic themes of Scripture is...Jesus Christ is coming-Jesus Christ has come-Jesus Christ is coming again! Just as sure as He came to the planet the first time, Jesus will return the second time. The first time He came to a cradle, wrapped in swaddling clothes. The next time He will come in the clouds, wrapped in robes of glory. The first time He came to be put in a graveyard. The next time He will empty the graveyards. The first time He came to establish His church. The next time He comes, He will evacuate the church.The coming of our Lord should not be a surprise to anyone. The Bible is filled with wonderful promises and prophecies concerning the Second Coming. God does not expect His people to be eschatology scholars, but He does expect us to be diligent students of the Word. We need to be awake, aware, and alert. The event of the ages is at hand. It is almost time for...THE RETURN OF KING JESUS!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Olivet Discourse sounds a bit stodgy to some—too scholarly for other people.

Book excerpt: What Jesus’ Own Teachings Reveal About the Last Days Why talk about end-times doomsday subjects? Because Jesus Christ talked about them, and in great detail. For that reason alone, we should pay attention. And as we rapidly approach the last days, his message is more relevant to us than ever. The End of the World According to Jesus of Nazareth takes you to the definitive authority on the future—Christ himself—for a clear understanding of what will take place, when it will happen, and how God desires for us to be prepared. Centering on the Olivet Discourse in Matthew’s Gospel, bestselling author Jeff Kinley examines Jesus’ words in their original context, providing clear and engaging overviews of the tribulation, the antichrist, the second coming, the judgments, and Jesus' invitations to believers and unbelievers. In this inspiring and approachable guide, Jeff provides you with clear, biblical answers about what is to come. Jesus revealed the future not only for his followers, but for all of humanity—that we may turn to him for salvation, live in hope, and be ready for his glorious return.
Book Synopsis End Time Rewind: An Exploration In Bible Prophecy And The Fate Of The World by : Steven Sabatino
Download or read book End Time Rewind: An Exploration In Bible Prophecy And The Fate Of The World written by Steven Sabatino and published by Steven Sabatino. This book was released on with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remember when End Time Rewind warned you not to fall for the Doomsday-Rapture theories of Dispensational Premillennialism and their Zionist partners? Well, now that we've survived John Hagee's Four Blood Moons, Jonathan Cahn's Super Shemitah, and the menacing tentacles of the now defunct European Union and Islamic State (the supposed Beast Kingdoms of Revelation 17), the Futurist's next false claim centers around the 70-year anniversary of Israel's founding. Is the Jewish State really the prophetic clock by which God aligns world events and the return of Christ? Many Doomsday-Rapture forecasts have been put forth in the name of Futurism since the 2nd-century AD, none of which have come to fruition. This is disconcerting, because failed predictions and false expectations promoted by our Christian counterparts diminishes the credibility of the Bible and scars the reputation and integrity of the Prophetic Office of Jesus Christ. The age-old, tried-and-true Orthodox (aka Partial or Classical) Preterist approach maintains that the majority of Bible prophecies were already fulfilled by the end of the first century AD, and included Jesus' appearing in an Old Testament-styled, non-physical manifestation with power and great glory. All that remains to be accomplished in the future is for Jesus Christ to physically return to raise the dead (which is when the rapture also occurs), preside over the final judgment, and create a new heaven and earth devoid of sin and death where the new and holy Jerusalem from heaven descends (as per Revelation 20:7 - Revelation 22:5).
Book Synopsis The End of the World According to Jesus by : Robert A. Morey
Download or read book The End of the World According to Jesus written by Robert A. Morey and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating work, the author draws some amazing and ground-breaking new insights into Bible prophecy from first century Jewish Apocalyticism and then presents a radical restructuring of the book of Revelation that clarifies it as no other book. Dr. Morey unravels the seeming contradictions and mystifying puzzles of biblical prophecy using the Jewish hermeneutical principles that Jesus and the apostles used in their interpretation of Old Testament prophecy. There is no other book like this today. It explains the Mt. Olivette Discourse and the book of Revelation in such a way that will astound and delight you. It is a must-read for clear-thinking Christians who want to know what will happen at the end of the world according to Jesus.
Download or read book Jesus written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-23 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly accessible discussion, Bart Ehrman examines the most recent textual and archaeological sources for the life of Jesus, along with the history of first-century Palestine, drawing a fascinating portrait of the man and his teachings. Ehrman shows us what historians have long known about the Gospels and the man who stands behind them. Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament (and other surviving sources, including the more recently discovered Gospels of Thomas and Peter), Ehrman proposes that Jesus can be best understood as an apocalyptic prophet--a man convinced that the world would end dramatically within the lifetime of his apostles and that a new kingdom would be created on earth. According to Ehrman, Jesus' belief in a coming apocalypse and his expectation of an utter reversal in the world's social organization not only underscores the radicalism of his teachings but also sheds light on both the appeal of his message to society's outcasts and the threat he posed to Jerusalem's established leadership.

It reinterprets dark tales of vengeance and wrath through the bright light of grace.
