Book Synopsis Making Sense of the Bible by : H. H. Drake Williams lll
Download or read book Making Sense of the Bible written by H. H. Drake Williams lll and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people probably have a copy of the Bible in their homes, some hold one in their hands each week at church-and perhaps even attend a Bible study- but not everyone sees or appreciates the great beauty and intricate composition of the Bible," writes author Drake Williams. "The Bible, as a great work of art, deserves to be considered in unity." Combining first-rate scholarship with easy-to-understand language, Making Sense of the Bible examines the Bible as a literary work of art and reveals ten key threads that form the thematic tapestry spanning Old and New Testaments. With this book, the Bible will no longer be a jumble of unrelated books, promises, and exhortations, but a collective, cohesive, and more meaningful masterpiece to any reader who wishes to explore its full breadth and depth.
Book Synopsis Making Sense of Genesis by : J. Wilson
Download or read book Making Sense of Genesis written by J. Wilson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Genesis is like a table of contents for the rest of the book, a seed from which the rest of Scripture and history unfolds: so many ideas, images, and events can be traced back to it. Like the seeds that are so often our staple for life, Genesis also provides food for the soul, true wisdom, and the big picture we need to live in this world. But its message can be hindered by misunderstanding its purpose. Making Sense of Genesis looks at what works and what doesn't work when interpreting Genesis. It's not a commentary, so it doesn't interact with all of Genesis or much that has been written about it. Rather, it observes how the ideas and images in early Genesis unfold and are fulfilled, and how they are just as true and fresh for us now as they were in the beginning.

Book Synopsis Making Sense of Good and Evil by : Geoffrey Vincent Yelaska
Download or read book Making Sense of Good and Evil written by Geoffrey Vincent Yelaska and published by Australian Self Publishing Group. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear of death, the regeneration of life, and the choice between good and evil are universal themes for humanity. This book challenges Christian dogma surrounding these themes. It argues that the concept of ‘a fall’ is an invention based on an incorrect interpretation of what drove the behaviour of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The evidence demonstrating life after death does not necessarily depend on faith alone. We observe the afterlife within the laboratory of life that nature has provided. The proof of death and resurrection is right before our eyes – every species holds a unique blueprint enabling perpetual regeneration. ‘The seed within itself’ has always held the key to everlasting life (Genesis 1:11, 12). Most biblical scholars continue to teach that humanity is subject to intrinsic sin due to a ‘fall’. This book demonstrates that Eve’s transgression was a life-affirming choice which moved humanity from a state of innocence to acknowledge good and evil and understand the concept of choice. That most of us choose good over evil validates Eve’s original decision. We are shown how man-made laws and the earthly trappings of the established churches are constructs aimed at entrenching the authority and power of church hierarchies. These constructs have come to diminish the power of the gospel and obscure the beautiful simplicity of Jesus’ teaching that ‘Christ is within all’ whether a believer, unbeliever, agnostic, or atheist. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all (Colossians 3:11).
Book Synopsis Making Sense of a Suffering World by : Ken Dignan
Download or read book Making Sense of a Suffering World written by Ken Dignan and published by WestBowPress. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to help you understand and make the most out of your times of hurt and pain. God uses suffering as a powerful tool to develop character, compassion, humility, faith, perseverance, and even prepare you for how you may serve God in heaven. It is my prayer that you will be encouraged, enlightened, and educated, so you can make sense out of “why God allows suffering.” Get ready to discover the vast scriptural details in the lives of the biblical characters, the truths God revealed to them in the Bible that deal with suffering and what they were inspired to say about their trials and tribulations. Along with that you’ll see the way suffering has influenced my perspective and how my faith in God and His Word has prepared me to live a blessed and productive life. Ken Dignan is an ordained minister involved in vocational ministry since 1976. He and his wife, Joni, have 4 sons: Andrew (wife Jodi), Patrick (wife Jennifer), the late Ryan, and Britt Stephen, and two granddaughters. He is a polio survivor, author, and founder of ’Til Healing Comes Ministries.
Book Synopsis The Anatomy of Book of Mormon Theology, Volume One by : Joseph M. Spencer
Download or read book The Anatomy of Book of Mormon Theology, Volume One written by Joseph M. Spencer and published by Greg Kofford Books. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few scholars of the Book of Mormon have read this volume of scripture as closely and rigorously as Joseph M. Spencer. And of those, none have devoted as much time and effort as he to a theological reading of that sacred text—that is, as Spencer writes, “how it might shape responsible thinking about questions pertaining to the life of religious commitment” (p. 1:173.) The Anatomy of Book of Mormon Theology divides into two volumes exploring and thinking about these pertinent questions. Each concerns a different part of the defense of the claim that theology is and ought to be particularly important for Book of Mormon studies. In this first volume, Spencer gathers early essays in which he gestures toward theological interpretation without knowing how to defend it; essays about why theology is important to Book of Mormon scholarship and how to ensure that it does not overstep its boundaries; and essays that do theological work on the Book of Mormon in relatively obvious ways or with relatively traditional topics. The last category of essays divides into two subcategories: essays specifically on the central theological question of Jesus Christ’s atonement, as the Book of Mormon understands it; and essays on a variety of traditional theological topics, again as the Book of Mormon understands them.
Book Synopsis New Visions of Isaiah by : Roy F. Melugin
Download or read book New Visions of Isaiah written by Roy F. Melugin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays arises from the lively discussions in the Formation of the Book of Isaiah Seminar of the Society of Biblical Literature. The essays exhibit the diversity that has always been present in the Seminar. Each contributor has a unique perspective and thus extends the frontiers of research on the book of Isaiah. Yet, taken as a whole, the essays fall into two broad groups, being either 'objective' in their approach to the text-embracing historical-critical method or a synchronic approach in which text rather than reader is the focus-or 'postmodern', in the sense that meaning is in no small degree located in what the reader does. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Mark Biddle, David Carr, Edgar Conrad, Chris Franke, Kathryn Pfisterer Darr, Rolf Rendtorff, Gerald Sheppard, Benjamin Sommer, Gary Stansell, and Roy Wells.
Book Synopsis Making Sense of Motherhood by : Beth M. Stovell
Download or read book Making Sense of Motherhood written by Beth M. Stovell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motherhood provides a crucial place for exploring human life and its meaning. Within motherhood lies a deep tension between the pain, crisis, and association with death in motherhood and the joy, transformation, and life in motherhood. Few metaphors in Scripture (or in life) stand so firmly between life and death, love and loss, and joy and deep pain. After all, motherhood's meaning in part comes again and again at these crucial crossroads. Thus, motherhood has powerful implications for our biblical and theological understanding. Bringing together Jewish and ecumenical Christian scholars from North America, Oceania, and South America, this edited volume provides biblical and theological perspectives on understanding motherhood. The authors reflect upon a selection of biblical texts, systematic theologians, and Christian spiritual traditions to dialogue with the experience of maternity in its diverse manifestations. The purpose of the book is to provide essays that--through these biblical and theological lenses--engage the question of motherhood today, from the experience of pregnancy and birth, to raising children, to losing children and coping with grief. In this way, this volume helps to "make sense" of the complexity of motherhood.
Book Synopsis Sense Perception and Testimony in the Gospel According to John by : Sunny Kuan-Hui Wang
Download or read book Sense Perception and Testimony in the Gospel According to John written by Sunny Kuan-Hui Wang and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2017-06-02 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Sunny Kuan-Hui Wang explores the relationship between sense perception and testimony in the Gospel of John. While Johannine scholars tend to focus on one or the other, she shows that sense perception and testimony are both significant and are used together with the intention of drawing readers into the narrative so that they become witnesses in an emotionally engaged way. It is argued that John's use of sense perception together with testimony is rooted in Jewish literature. Yet John also employs a Graeco-Roman rhetorical technique, enargeia , which appeals to the persuasive power of sense perception to make his narrative vivid. John does not downplay sense perception. Rather, he uses it in the context of testimony as a means of persuasion to draw the readers, in their imagination, into the experience of the first disciples and thus deeper into faith and witness.

Book Synopsis Isaiah's Vision and the Family of God by : Katheryn Pfisterer Darr
Download or read book Isaiah's Vision and the Family of God written by Katheryn Pfisterer Darr and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a pragmatic, reader-orientated approach and informed by contemporary theory of metaphor and related topics, Katheryn Darr examines the meaning and functions of child and female imagery for sequential readers of the Isaiah scroll in its entirety. Having identified the associated commonplaces surrounding such tropes--a necessary task if one is to construe the figurative language of another society and culture competently--she turns specifically to rebellious child and personified city (and nation) imagery. The Literary Currents in Biblical Interpretation series explores current trends within the discipline of biblical interpretation by dealing with the literary qualities of the Bible: the play of its language, the coherence of its final form, and the relationships between text and readers. Biblical interpreters are being challenged to take responsibility for the theological, social, and ethical implications of their readings. This series encourages original readings that breach the confines of traditional biblical criticism.
Book Synopsis Making Sense of History by : Geoffrey Partington
Download or read book Making Sense of History written by Geoffrey Partington and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-07-20 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much more is known about the past that is interesting, valuable and and relevant to our problems than any one of us can ever know. Making Sense of History proposes we focus on Five Zones of Priority: Livelihoods, Protection from violence, Freedom, Relationships, and Ideas. Partington examines some perennial problems, such as Progress or Regression, Bias, Prejudice and Moral Judgment, Depth versus Breadth and the ongoing fabrication of myths, and accusations of genocide and cannibalism. Partington warns against looking to history for the certainties that physics or mathematics provide. We have free will and make decisions rather than react uniformly to external forces. Historical understanding is more like proverbial wisdom writ large than the theorems of Pythagoras or Einstein. A more serious problem is the ideological capture of much history teaching in countries like Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Partington does not advocate vainglorious national pride but defends the achievement of those countries in making a better, though imperfect, balance between freedom and security than has been made at almost every other time or place.

Book Synopsis Making Sense of the Bible by : Helen-Ann Hartley
Download or read book Making Sense of the Bible written by Helen-Ann Hartley and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2011-06-17 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of a series of 6 small books dealing in a short and accessible way with the key concerns for Christians. Again and again, we hear that such-and-such an opinion is not 'biblical', implying that the Bible speaks with a unified voice on any matter. With humour and examples drawn from art and life, Helen-Ann Hartley argues that our reading of this varied collection of writings has to be generous, not exclusive. To appreciate fully the Bible's richness and diversity, we have to wrestle critically and creatively with themes that attract us and repel us. Not only should we draw meaning from the Bible, we must let our lives contribute meaning to the stories it tells, engaging in conversation with those stories and allowing them to urge us into being -- to think, speak and act. Ultimately, to make sense of the Bible, we need to make sense of who we are in relationship to God.
Book Synopsis Am I Still My Brother's Keeper? by : Robert Wafawanaka
Download or read book Am I Still My Brother's Keeper? written by Robert Wafawanaka and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Bible say about poverty and our responsibility toward the poor? This book examines the concept of “brother’s keeper” in both the ancient Near East and the biblical world. Wafawanaka contends that biblical Israel failed to play the rightful role of brother’s keeper and claims that we, too, have strayed from this responsibility. Am I Still My Brother’s Keeper? reveals what we can learn about poverty from a biblical context and how we might appropriate those insights to fight poverty in our own communities. Beginning with the biblical mandate in Deuteronomy 15, Wafawanaka surveys the Hebrew Scriptures and challenges those with power and resources to reevaluate their response to the poor. Failure to revisit the notion of “brother’s keeper” threatens to create a society that is increasingly disenfranchised and unjust. A glance at our world in light of biblical history suggests that poverty is an endemic global problem that requires a radical global solution.

Book Synopsis Jerusalem's Rise to Sovereignty by : Ingrid Hjelm
Download or read book Jerusalem's Rise to Sovereignty written by Ingrid Hjelm and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ingrid Hjelm examines the composition of the Books of Kings, using the Hezekiah narratives in 2 Kings 18-20 as a focus. She argues that this narrative is taken from that of the book of Isaiah, with which it shares linguistic and thematic elements. In Kings, it is used with the specific purpose of breaking the compositional pattern of curse, which threatens to place Jerusalem on a par with Samaria. Jerusalem traditions are examined against theories of a late Yahwist author and the Pentateuch's origin within a Jerusalem cult. While the Pentateuch in its final form became a common work, acceptable to all groups because of its implied ambiguity, the Deuteronomistic History's favoring of David and Jerusalem holds a rejection of competitive groups as its implied argument.
