Book Synopsis Fair Play: Diversity and Conflicts in Early Christianity by : Ismo Dunderberg
Download or read book Fair Play: Diversity and Conflicts in Early Christianity written by Ismo Dunderberg and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays in honour of Heikki Räisänen, New Testament professor at the University of Helsinki, consists of 22 essays written by his colleagues and students on Jesus, the gospels, Paul, early Christianity, and biblical interpretation. Räisänen's own research has been characterized by methodological awareness combined with a keen interest in ethical issues. Both these aspects come to expression in his insistence on "fair play" as a correct scholarly attitude involving an honest dialogue, a real encounter, and a recognition of diverging opinions. In this spirit, most of the essays in this book lay emphasis on issues related to early Christian diversity and conflicts, and to their challenge in modern society. The book is useful for scholars, academic teachers and students interested in various aspects of the New Testament, early Christianity, and hermeneutics.
Book Synopsis Christianity for Modern Pagans by : Peter Kreeft
Download or read book Christianity for Modern Pagans written by Peter Kreeft and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Kreeft believes that Blaise Pascal is the first post-medieval apologist. No writer in history, claims Kreeft, is a more effective Christian apologist and evangelist to today's uprooted, confused, secularized pagans (inside and outside the Church) than Pascal. He was a brilliant man--a great scientist who did major work in physics and mathematics, as well as an inventor--whom Kreeft thinks was three centuries ahead of his time. His apologetics found in his Pens褳 are ideal for the modern, sophisticated skeptic. Kreeft has selected the parts of Pascal's Pens褳 which best respond to the needs of modern man, and offers his own comments on applying Pascal's wisdom to today's problems. Addressed to modern skeptics and unbelievers, as well as to modern Christians for apologetics and self-examination, Pascal and Kreeft combine to provide a powerful witness to Christian truth.
Book Synopsis One Faith No Longer by : George Yancey
Download or read book One Faith No Longer written by George Yancey and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irreconcilable differences drive the division between progressive and conservative Christians—is there a divorce coming? Much attention has been paid to political polarization in America, but far less to the growing schism between progressive and conservative Christians. In this groundbreaking new book, George Yancey and Ashlee Quosigk offer the provocative contention that progressive and conservative Christianities have diverged so much in their core values that they ought to be thought of as two separate religions. The authors draw on both quantitative data and interviews to uncover how progressive and conservative Christians determine with whom they align themselves religiously, and how they distinguish themselves from each other. They find that progressive Christians emphasize political agreement relating to social justice issues as they determine who is part of their in-group, and focus less on theological agreement. Among conservative Christians, on the other hand, the major concern is whether one agrees with them on core theological points. Progressive and conservative Christians thus use entirely different factors in determining their social identity and moral values. In a time when religion and politics have never seemed so intertwined, One Faith No Longer offers a timely and compelling reframing of an age-old conflict.
Download or read book Pulpit Fiction written by Gregg Powers and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you get your understanding about God and his plan of salvation from the Bible or from the pulpit? If an honest self-evaluation reveals that you are relying more on the words of men than the Word of God for your relationship with God and your eternal destiny, you need to read this book! This book is not written to liberal theologians and Christians who may believe or assume the Bible is not the sole authority on spiritual matters. Rather, it is written to those who truly believe the Bible to be the literal and inspired Word of God and understand God’s plan of salvation to be revealed in biblical truth. Unfortunately, in much of the modern church, the increasing trend is toward teaching the doctrines of men instead of what the Bible actually says. In these times, it is critically important that we follow the example of the Bereans, who examined scripture to see if what was said is true. The result is that many in the pews who think they are on Christ’s narrow way that leads to eternal life are being deceived. This book tells the truth that every evangelical pastor and Christian should know about what the Bible really says about salvation.
Book Synopsis Landscapes of Christianity by : Frederick A. Stoutland, Sr.
Download or read book Landscapes of Christianity written by Frederick A. Stoutland, Sr. and published by FAS Books Company. This book was released on 2006 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major shame in contemporary Christianity is the large number of ordinary Christians who are biblically illiterate. This robs them of their inheritance as believers and makes their witness to others often weak. In response, "Landscapes of Christianity" unpacks the history and truths of our Faith logically and powerfully, answering virtually every question ordinary church-goers ask, or are too embarrassed to ask for fear of being labeled ignorant of Scripture. Already praised by leaders in churches across America, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into God's redemptive plan for people, discussing intelligently, clearly, and impartially the debated issues that have separated Christians for centuries. Furthermore, it addresses (from the Bible) some of the great issues of this day as they relate to homosexuality among the clergy, abortion and the death of other innocents, euthanasia, and the relevance of Scripture in contemporary society. John MacArthur, world renowned Bible teacher, says: "I am stunned at the excellence and comprehensiveness. I can only pray that the Lord will find many uses for it." Others call the book, "compelling," and required reading for anyone who wants to have a fuller grasp of Christianity without denominational bias."

Book Synopsis Reflections of a Sojourner by : Rm Harrington
Download or read book Reflections of a Sojourner written by Rm Harrington and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-07-08 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world filled with an abundance of medical knowledge, comfort-based technology, and global communication-resources wherefore comes this image of perpetual suffering and pain? Why have we not resolved the ache, the needs, and the cries of a broken society? This book offers a pondering on pain and suffering. It reflects the mind of a sojourner, a visitor to this world, a stranger in a strange land, a Christian. It ponders what a man might see if he had vision into the world of spirits and devils, if he had a better understanding of God's eternal plan for absolute goodness among all mankind. How great is the profit associated with the promotion of immorality and the punishment thereof? Men savor power and wealth, and we will not easily surrender our position among other men. So long as lucrative plunder remains the product of immorality, evil men will continue to embrace corruption. So long as advantage perceived lingers near, the same people who promote filthy lucre in "acceptable" measures also reap gain when immorality is punished. It is the nature of a depraved mind. As a people and as a nation, Americans need change. Yet the change we seek is mired beneath the nature of human desires. Active, healthy and Godly correction requires honest and sincere labor from dedicated and involved Christians. Yet we let those who promote depravity retain the judgment over justice. Can you not see? Will you not comprehend? So long as immorality contains even a measure of financial profit, no flesh will seek to fully eliminate the cause and effect of wickedness. What you read here is a work that I began while residing at Butner Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina. FMC is a US federal hospital dedicated to the treatment and housing of the adult male prison populace. As such, the medical as well as incarceration needs and requirements of those who do battle with the various short-term and long-term diseases, illnesses, and mental disorders that plague the human race are managed by prison guards and professional prison staff members. This service, by nature, places together inmates from all around the USA. FMC houses men of variable security classification. The inmates range from low-level minor offenders to camp-eligible short timers to maximum confinement prison lifers. For me, the opportunity to minister against the effects of such a broad range of crime is an ever-present calling and blessing. Men come and go, many of which end up listed in the prison records under the heading, "escape by death." Such is the matter of our social sickness. Such is the modern method for addressing this segment of suffering and death. I weep for the half-crazed wives who endure the unexpected wrongs of a husband who has brought down the shattering of a peaceful household. I weep for the fatherless child who is being cheated by the ugliness of this world system. I weep for the victims and their families. And I weep over the torn homes, endless loss of grace, and overwhelming sorrows. About Rm Harrington Author, content writer, programmer and web designer with a heart of Jesus Christ. Striving to provide a waterhole and a spiritual stopover for men and women of God who are currently between churches. Offering a bit of Christian character in a religious world that is sometimes very discouraging.
Book Synopsis On Earth as It Is in Heaven by : D. C. Thielmann
Download or read book On Earth as It Is in Heaven written by D. C. Thielmann and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus of Nazareth was a first-century Palestinian Jew who was wholly dedicated to his Judaism, and he arose during a turbulent period of history for the Jewish people living under the oppression of the Roman Empire. From his brief few years of ministry, a new religion--Christianity--came into being. But does modern Christianity accurately understand Jesus's charismatic life, teachings, and overall goal in God's ultimate plan for humankind that Jesus so eloquently spelled out in the Lord's Prayer--to bring about life on earth as it is in heaven? On Earth as It Is in Heaven is a two-volume study, commentary, and spiritual guidebook that investigates the historical Jesus in the context of God's ultimate plan for humankind, and it covers how the accurate portrait of Jesus and his message have been altered since the first century through today. The first volume opens with an examination of the appeal and significance of the New Testament message, and it concludes by exploring how the early church altered Jesus's message after his death. The second volume further investigates the connection between the Dead Sea Scrolls and the New Testament, and it explains how it is Jesus's Judaism that speaks to the true origins of Christianity. Correctly understanding the changes that were made to the historical Jesus and his message is essential for all modern followers of Jesus, and restoring an accurate portrait of Jesus is what will help believers understand God's ultimate plan for humankind.
Book Synopsis Sports and Christianity by : Nick J. Watson
Download or read book Sports and Christianity written by Nick J. Watson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary text examines the sports-Christianity interface from Protestant and Catholic perspectives. In addition to a "systematic review of literature," field-pioneering contributors such as Michael Novak, Shirl Hoffman, Joseph Price and Robert Higgs address a wide range of topics from the sporting world, including biblical athletic metaphors, disability, evangelism, professionalism and celebrity, humility and pride, genetic enhancement technologies, stereotypes, sport as art and British and American historical analyses of sport and Christianity. Insightful chapters from Scott Kretchmar, one of the world’s leading philosophers of sport, and Father Kevin Lixey, the head of the Vatican’s ‘Church and Sport’ office (2004-), add further depth and breadth to this book, making it accessible and interesting to academic and practitioner audiences alike. Within the context of this relatively new and rapidly expanding area of inquiry, this collection provides a unique and important addition to the current literature for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, and serves as a point of reference for scholars of theology and religious studies, psychology, health studies, ethics and sports studies. The book may also be of interest to physical educators and sports coaches who wish to adopt a more "holistic" and ethical approach to their work. As modern sport is often intertwined with commercial and political agendas, this book offers an important corrective to the "win-at-all-costs" culture of modern sport, which cannot be fully understood through secular ethical inquiry.

Book Synopsis Religion and the Formation of Early Modern Identities in The Island Princess and The Jew of Malta: The Significance of Christianity in the Early Modern Period by : Milena Bubenechik
Download or read book Religion and the Formation of Early Modern Identities in The Island Princess and The Jew of Malta: The Significance of Christianity in the Early Modern Period written by Milena Bubenechik and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study depicts the significance of Christian and non-Christian relations in the formation of early modern identities in John Fletcher’s The Island Princess and Christopher Marlowe’s The Jew of Malta. Christian and non-Christian relations are explicitly demonstrated in the Elizabethan and Jacobean plays due to their incorporated issue of religion. The plays are set in the early modern period, during which many changes occur. The significance of Christian and non-Christian relations increase as the age of colonisation advances, and more territorial expansion and long-distance trade are undertaken. The encounter with different cultures and faiths awakes European consciousness to the existence of great non-Christian societies. This knowledge in turn evokes apprehension of the existing attitudes and beliefs in Christian Europe. Notions of race and religion begin to shift. Non-European peoples commence to be perceived as rivals to Christianity. Marlowe’s and Fletcher’s plays depict the anxieties towards the Other, where religion becomes the central issue of distinction. Marlowe’s tragedy The Jew of Malta deals with Judaism and Catholicism and their mutual hostility. Fletcher’s tragi-comedy The Island Princess deals with the pagan princess’s conversion to Christianity. This study explores various aspects influenced and sustained by Christianity. Christian beliefs form a foundation for early modern European society. The emerging identities are indispensably intertwined with Christianity and Christian attitudes of that time. Notions of race and gender cannot be easily defined without religion. This study explores the changes in the development of racial thinking and its religious underpinning. Christianity inevitably influences different spheres of social life and conduct because of its popularity during this time period. Religion empowers European nations to endorse their values in foreign territories and advocates the spread of Christianity in the world. The Island Princess, for example, explores underlying Christian values, which set the heroine’s conversion in the centre of the play. The Jew of Malta, on the other hand, explores the notion that Christians are not flawless. Not only does it reveal the condemned character traits of the Jews, but it also ridicules the Christians. The study investigates the emergence of Christians’ repulsive attitudes towards the Jews, the relationship to the Turks, and it explores Marlowe’s criticism of the [...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining a wide array of ancient writings, Brent Nongbri dispels the commonly held idea that there is such a thing as ancient religion. Nongbri shows how misleading it is to speak as though religion was a concept native to pre-modern cultures.
