Book Synopsis A Thematic Access-Oriented Bibliography of Jesus’s Resurrection by : Michael J. Alter
Download or read book A Thematic Access-Oriented Bibliography of Jesus’s Resurrection written by Michael J. Alter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The keystone of Christianity is Jesus's physical, bodily resurrection. Present-day scholars can be significantly challenged as they forage through voluminous documents on the resurrection of Jesus. The literature measures well over seven thousand sources in English-language books alone. This makes finding specific sources that are most relevant for specific scholarly purposes an arduous task. Even when a specific book is relevant, finding the parts of the book that are most relevant to the resurrection rather than other topics often requires additional effort. A Thematic Access-Oriented Bibliography of Jesus's Resurrection addresses these challenges in several ways. First, the bibliography organizes more than seven thousand English sources into twelve main categories and then thirty-four subcategories, which are designed to help you find the most relevant literature quickly and efficiently. Embedded are pro and con arguments which support efficient access through brief annotations and then annotate the diversity and complexity of the field of religion by including sources that represent a diverse range of views: theistic (e.g., Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc.), agnostic, and nontheistic. The objective of this bibliography is to provide convenient access to relevant sources from a variety of perspectives, allowing you to browse or find the one source accurately and with ease.
Book Synopsis Marveling Religion by : Jennifer Baldwin
Download or read book Marveling Religion written by Jennifer Baldwin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-09-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marveling Religion: Critical Discourses, Religion, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is an edited volume that explores the intersection of religion and cinema through the lenses of critical discourse. The focus of the shared inquiry are various films comprising the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and corresponding Netflix series. The contributors explore various religious themes and how they intersect with culture through the canon on the MCU. The first part focuses on responses to the societal, governmental, and cultural context that solidified with clarity during the 2016 Presidential Election cycle in the United States and in the following administration. Additionally, it provides lenses and resources for engaging in productive public actions. Part two explores cultural resources of sustaining activism and resistance as well as some of the key issues at stake in public action. The third part centers on militarization and resistance to state violence. Taken in concert, these three sections work together to provide frames for understanding while also keeping us engaged in the concrete action to mobilize social change. The overarching aim of the volume is to promote critical discourse regarding the dynamics of activism and political resistance.
Book Synopsis The Theological Intentions of Mark's Literary Devices by : Dean B. Deppe
Download or read book The Theological Intentions of Mark's Literary Devices written by Dean B. Deppe and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What sets The Theological Intentions of Mark's Literary Devices apart from other books? What niche does it fill that makes its publication important? This volume will interest all those who value a literary approach to the Gospel of Mark. Dean Deppe introduces some new literary devices in the research of the Gospel of Mark as well as demonstrates the theological intentions of Mark when he employs these literary devices. Deppe argues that Mark employs the literary devices of intercalation, framework, allusionary repetitions, narrative surprises, and three types of mirroring to indicate where he speaks symbolically and metaphorically at two levels. Mark employs these literary devices not just for dramatic tension and irony, but also for theological reasons to apply the Jesus tradition to specific problems in his own day.
Book Synopsis Luke and the Jewish Other by : David Andrew Smith
Download or read book Luke and the Jewish Other written by David Andrew Smith and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luke and the Jewish Other takes up the debated question of the orientation of Luke towards the Jewish people. Building on recent studies in the social history of early Jewish-Christian relations, it offers an analysis of Luke’s portrayal of Jewish and Christian identities that challenges the common assumption that the construction of religious identity in antiquity necessarily depended upon antagonistic relations with others. Taking account of the deep and often divisive difference that belief in Jesus made in Luke’s community, the author argues that Luke hoped to bring about both a rapprochement with and the conversion of contemporary Jews. Through this account of identity and alterity in the Gospel of Luke, the book cuts across boundaries of biblical studies, history, theology, and social theory, proposing a way forward for the study of Luke’s relation to Judaism and of the "parting of the ways" between Jews and Christians in the early Common Era.
Book Synopsis A Faith Not Worth Fighting For by : Tripp York
Download or read book A Faith Not Worth Fighting For written by Tripp York and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Faith Not Worth Fighting For, editors Justin Bronson Barringer and Tripp York have assembled a number of essays by pastors, activists, and scholars in order to address the common questions and objections leveled against the Christian practice of nonviolence. Assuming that the command to love one's enemies is at the heart of the Gospel, these writers carefully, faithfully--and no doubt provocatively--attempt to explain why the nonviolent path of Jesus is an integral aspect of Christian discipleship. By addressing misconceptions about Christian pacifism, as well as real-life violent situations, this book will surely challenge the reader's basic understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Contributors include: Andy Alexis-Baker Justin Bronson Barringer Gregory A. Boyd Robert Brimlow Lee C. Camp Shane Claiborne John Dear Amy Laura Hall Stanley Hauerwas J. Nelson Kraybill Ingrid E. Lilly D. Stephen Long Gerald W. Schlabach Kara Slade C. Rosalee Velloso Ewell Samuel Wells Tripp York
Book Synopsis The Miracles of Jesus by : Vern S. Poythress
Download or read book The Miracles of Jesus written by Vern S. Poythress and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians often view Jesus’s miracles simply as proofs of his divinity. However, as prolific author Vern Poythress shows in this new book, they also serve as “signs of redemption,” foreshadowing the salvation that Christ accomplished through his cross and resurrection. This means that the stories of Jesus’s miracles—like the calming of the storm or the feeding of the 5,000—are relevant for both Christians and non-Christians alike, clearly pointing to the gospel. After setting forth a framework for viewing all of Jesus’s miracles through this lens, Poythress then reflects on the meaning and significance of 26 distinct miracles recorded in the Gospel of Matthew—helping modern readers understand and apply them to their own lives today.

Book excerpt: Mark turned to Miriam and asked, “How soon can you start?” “As soon as possible,” Miriam replied. Temping at Cohen & Marshall, LLP was the best thing to happen to Miriam Yung in a while. Brokenhearted after her boyfriend dumped her, she welcomed the opportunity to work at one of New York’s premier certified public accounting firms. Deep down, however, she was unhappy in her field. Nevertheless, spending tax season with Mark Edwards, the handsome senior tax manager, was a huge incentive. Mark knew that hiring Miriam was a bad idea. She was as adorable as the day he first spotted her in the crowd along Fifth Avenue. She hadn’t begun her assignment yet, and already, she made him feel lightheaded. He had enough on his plate what with managing his team, keeping his boss happy, and guarding his heart. He had to keep a distance between them. But the antics of a disagreeable colleague throw Mark and Miriam together. They learn about each other’s past, discover each other’s hidden talents, and learn that life has a way of working things out.

Book Synopsis Dante and the Jesuits by : La Civiltà Cattolica
Download or read book Dante and the Jesuits written by La Civiltà Cattolica and published by ucanews. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of 10 articles from the December 2020 edition of La Civiltà Cattolica, the highly respected and oldest Catholic journal published from Rome. In Italian Jesuit schools Dante was not a popular, nor recommended author. The article ‘Dante and the Jesuits’ by Giandomenico Mucci, SJ tries to explain the reason behind the popular misconception about the Jesuit’s attitude toward Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. For centuries, theologians, philosophers, cosmologists and scientists have been asking this question: Why do the laws of nature seem to have been fine tuned so accurately that they allow the development of living beings? Paolo Beltrame, SJ discusses the concept in cosmology called the fine tuning problem. The article The Power of Forgiveness reviews the book Apeirogon. Irish author, Colum McCann, approaches the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from an original perspective and looks at the conflict in depth. But the book does not claim to offer solutions or explanations. The White-Red Revolution in Belarus, began immediately after the announcement of the result of the polls, in August 2020, revealing a deep discontent and a desire for political transformation, a new government, which can neither be underestimated nor ignored. Giovanni Sale examines the issue more closely and within its historical framework in the article The White-Red Revolution of Belarus. Antonio Spadaro illustrates the importance of the ancient and wild environment of Sardinia and its nuraghes. He says the nuraghe’s nomination to be recognized by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site is an opportune occasion to dedicate time to study and research the development of sacred itineraries on Sardinian soil. The Emotions and Affections of Jesus opens a window onto the interiority of Jesus through accounts in the Synoptic Gospels. They show him capable of rejoicing and crying, of being moved and angry, of being indignant and loving, “meek and humble of heart” (Mt 11:29).
Book Synopsis The Ritual of the Gathering Dust by : Chad Ellis Stephens
Download or read book The Ritual of the Gathering Dust written by Chad Ellis Stephens and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-03 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I consider my writing spiritual but psychological. Spiritual in the way that you can sense a bizarre void through out The Ritual, it's in the characters' inability to explain what has happened to them. Psychological because every character presents, like puppets, their own painfully perfect mental struggle which brings about an detrimental awareness to the fact that there is no way out! It should leave the reader questioning what is real and what is not. Who is who and who is not. The title of this novel is, The Ritual of the Gathering Dust. This is a tale of a cynically paranoid eighteen year old trying to learn the secret code of cool as he becomes the apprehensive subject to the social groups he encounters. Elsewhere, a depressed, cultist couple, recovering from loud, traumatic pasts, sit with an incurable boredom at a quiet, kitchen table. And while a mysterious hearse drives around without a clear destination through the murky streets of 'Broken Tongues Village' a determined marathon runner will attempt to go against a dead locked society. I introduce you to a world that craves fun, gets it, and scraps the bottom of the barrel for the last of it.

Book Synopsis Marvelous Faith by : Raymond K. Shin
Download or read book Marvelous Faith written by Raymond K. Shin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Roman centurion asks Jesus to heal his dying servant. Jesus agrees to help and begins making his way to the centurion's home, but the centurion tells him not to bother making the trip. He says that it would be enough for Jesus just to say the word for the servant to be healed. The Bible then says that Jesus "marveled" at the centurion's faith. How could Jesus, whom Christians believe to be God incarnate, who knows all things, be amazed by anything a human does? There must be something special about faith to cause Jesus to be amazed. Christians are called to possess the same kind of faith as the centurion. It may not seem possible, but if we want it, God helps us obtain and maintain the kind of faith that can amaze even God himself. And once we have that amazing faith, it will lead us to share joy, hope, and love with others around us.
