Book Synopsis One Lord, One People: The Unity of the Church in Acts in its Literary Setting by : Alan Thompson
Download or read book One Lord, One People: The Unity of the Church in Acts in its Literary Setting written by Alan Thompson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the Lukan themes of unity and disunity against ancient Greco-Roman and Jewish social and political discourses on concord and discord to better understand the context in which Luke highlights the themes of unity and disunity. The themes of unity and disunity are particularly prominent in ancient discussions of the reigns of rulers, evaluations of laws/constitutions/forms of government, and descriptions of the contrasting effects of unity and disunity in the destruction and preservation of peoples and cities. These themes are grouped under the broad categories of kingship and law, and the preservation and destruction of cities. The book contends that, in the context of its literary setting, the theme of the unity of the church under one Lord in Acts contributes to Lukan Christological claims that Christ is the true king, and Lukan ecclesiological claims that the Christian community is the true people of God.
Book Synopsis Our Unity Is In The King Of Kings by : Molly Sutherland
Download or read book Our Unity Is In The King Of Kings written by Molly Sutherland and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us has a destiny designed by God to fulfill. I believe God is calling His Church to unity. It is time that we prepare the ground for the Holy Spirit to fulfill Christ’s prayer before He went to the cross: “Father may they be one, just as You and I are One” (John 17:20-23). Jesus gave us a commandment, that we love one another as He does. Isn’t it time we obeyed this command so that the walls of separation could fall? The world needs to see us love as Jesus does so it can trust what we say. Could we be the generation known by our love? This book suggests ways in which God is asking us to prepare the ground for Jesus’ prayer to be fulfilled. UNITY. It will come through love, for God is love and He is one.

Book Synopsis The Character of Kingship by : Declan Quigley
Download or read book The Character of Kingship written by Declan Quigley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has monarchy been such a prevalent institution throughout history and in such a diverse range of societies? Kingship is at the heart of both ritual and politics and has major implications for the theory of social and cultural anthropology. Yet, despite the contemporary fascination with royalty, anthropologists have sorely neglected the subject in recent decades. This book combines a strong theoretical argument with a wealth of ethnography from kingships in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Quigley gives a timely and much-needed overview of the anthropology of kingship and a crucial reassessment of the contributions of Frazer and Hocart to debates about the nature and function of royal ritual. From diverse fieldwork sites, a number of eminent anthropologists demonstrate how ritual and power intertwine to produce a series of variations around myth, tragedy and historical realities. However, underneath this diversity, two common themes invariably emerge: the attempt to portray kingship as timeless and perfect, and the dual nature of the king as sacred being and scapegoat.
Book Synopsis The Legacy of Israel in Judah's Bible by : Daniel E. Fleming
Download or read book The Legacy of Israel in Judah's Bible written by Daniel E. Fleming and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Legacy of Israel in Judah's Bible undertakes a comprehensive re-evaluation of the Bible's primary narrative in Genesis through Kings as it relates to history. It divides the core textual traditions along political lines that reveal deeply contrasting assumptions, an approach that places biblical controversies in dialogue with anthropologically informed archaeology. Starting from close study of selected biblical texts, the work moves toward historical issues that may be illuminated by both this material and a larger range of textual evidence. The result is a synthesis that breaks away from conventional lines of debate in matters relating to ancient Israel and the Bible, setting an agenda for future engagement of these fields with wider study of antiquity.

Book Synopsis To whom the majesty of kingship has not been conferred by : Samuel Tuominen
Download or read book To whom the majesty of kingship has not been conferred written by Samuel Tuominen and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Sir Isaac Newton, the most important figure of the Scientific Revolution, believe in literal fulfillment of the biblical prophecies on the end-times? What did he say about the foretold Antichrist? What Paul really taught in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 on the revelation of the man of lawlessness? Will Rapture precede that or vice versa? How and why did Princess Diana think that her husband Charles, the Prince of Wales, was a murderer? How and why did she think that there was a conspiracy against her and that he would murder also her in a staged "car accident"? How does this relate to the biblical prophecies on the foretold Antichrist? Why so many students of the Bible prophecy have taught since the early 1980s that Prince Charles could be actually the foretold Antichrist? To many of us he seems superficially the most unlikely candidate for this role. But is he, in fact, the most likely candidate, based on the number of biblical prophecies on that man what Charles can fulfill more literally than any other presumed Antichrist candiate? How there is hardly any biblical prophecy on that man's foretold attributes that Charles cannot already fulfill one way or another? How has he taken lately a more prominent and visible political role? Why Joe Biden and many other world leaders follow the post-pandemic agenda called "Build Back Better" that Prince Charles launched in January 2020 at Davos together with the founder of World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab? Why does its expert Justin Haskins think it "represents the most significant threat to capitalism and individual liberty in more than a half-century." Why Prince Charles has been compared already with such bloodthirsty tyrants as Pol Pot, like Michael Rubin did in his op-ed in the Washington Examiner, an American conservative news website and weekly magazine? How Charles himself likes to compare himself with the cruel tyrants of the past centuries like Henry VIII? How the Book of Daniel foretold the whole world history of the last twenty-five centuries? How it relates to Prince Charles? Did Daniel see the history of the British Empire and its monarchy? Did he see something epoch-making to happen in 2023? What about the mysterious relic of the Middle Ages, called True Cross? And so much more in this book that one reader characterized as "revolutionary".
Book Synopsis Sacred Kingship in World History by : A. Azfar Moin
Download or read book Sacred Kingship in World History written by A. Azfar Moin and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred kingship has been the core political form, in small-scale societies and in vast empires, for much of world history. This collaborative and interdisciplinary book recasts the relationship between religion and politics by exploring this institution in long-term and global comparative perspective. Editors A. Azfar Moin and Alan Strathern present a theoretical framework for understanding sacred kingship, which leading scholars reflect on and respond to in a series of essays. They distinguish between two separate but complementary religious tendencies, immanentism and transcendentalism, which mold kings into divinized or righteous rulers, respectively. Whereas immanence demands priestly and cosmic rites from kings to sustain the flourishing of life, transcendence turns the focus to salvation and subordinates rulers to higher ethical objectives. Secular modernity does not end the struggle between immanence and transcendence—flourishing and righteousness—but only displaces it from kings onto nations and individuals. After an essay by Marshall Sahlins that ranges from the Pacific to the Arctic, the book contains chapters on religion and kingship in settings as far-flung as ancient Egypt, classical Greece, medieval Islam, Mughal India, modern European drama, and ISIS. Sacred Kingship in World History sheds new light on how religion has constructed rulership, with implications spanning global history, religious studies, political theory, and anthropology.
Book Synopsis The Triune God and Mission by : Pieter Verster
Download or read book The Triune God and Mission written by Pieter Verster and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wonderful love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit makes mission possible. A deep christological view of mission must be taken. The offices of Christ, namely his Kingly, Priestly, and Prophetic offices undergird mission. Glorious salvation is then possible. The Holy Spirit confesses that Christ is Lord. The church becomes a vehicle of the love of God through this confession. The Father’s acceptance of the prodigal son is a deep missiological act. In the most challenging times of COVID-19, poverty, and international conflict, mission is radically necessary.
