Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Discoveries in the Origin of Christianity: A Treatise on the Origin of Christianity, Its Causes and Consequences, From Original and Most Reliable Sources, Never Published Before; Also a New Signification of the Words Christ, Eucharist and Aungelion; Also an Explanation of the Trinity By way of a preface, we give toe following answers to a series of questions, that the author expects to be asked regarding this essay. First. - Is it possible that something new can be discovered in the origin of Christianity? Everything appertaining to it has been so thoroughly searched, and examined by Christians, by their opponents, and still more by modern higher critics; and is it possible that this should have escaped their scrutiny? Answer. - Nobody is more astonished than the author himself, to find that the origin of Christianity, as given in this essay, has never been published before. Second. - Are the discoveries of any importance? Answer. - To the perplexed, who love facts rather than fiction; truth rather than fables; yet cannot conceive how to account for the genesis of Messianism except through the veil of impenetrable mysticism with which the church has surrounded it, this will be a new Gospel, and a more rational one. Third. - What is the authority? Answer. - Its subject matter is taken from original, well known, and most reliable sources.

A learned, brilliant and enjoyable study."—Géza Vermès, Times Literary Supplement In this exciting book, Paula Fredriksen explains the variety of New Testament images of Jesus by exploring the ways that the new Christian communities interpreted his mission and message in light of the delay of the Kingdom he had preached. This edition includes an introduction reviews the most recent scholarship on Jesus and its implications for both history and theology. "Brilliant and lucidly written, full of original and fascinating insights."—Reginald H. Fuller, Journal of the American Academy of Religion "This is a first-rate work of a first-rate historian."—James D. Tabor, Journal of Religion "Fredriksen confronts her documents—principally the writings of the New Testament—as an archaeologist would an especially rich complex site. With great care she distinguishes the literary images from historical fact. As she does so, she explains the images of Jesus in terms of the strategies and purposes of the writers Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John."—Thomas D’Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor

This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions about the reliability of the New Testament are commonly raised today both by biblical scholars and popular media. Drawing on decades of research, Craig Blomberg addresses all of the major objections to the historicity of the New Testament in one comprehensive volume. Topics addressed include the formation of the Gospels, the transmission of the text, the formation of the canon, alleged contradictions, the relationship between Jesus and Paul, supposed Pauline forgeries, other gospels, miracles, and many more. Historical corroborations of details from all parts of the New Testament are also presented throughout. The Historical Reliability of the New Testament marshals the latest scholarship in responding to New Testament objections, while remaining accessible to non-specialists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The phrase, "the Quest for the Historical Jesus" has become popular through hundreds of new books. If you subscribe to cable you will find documentaries on History, Discovery, Smithsonian, and National Geographic Channels. New archaeological discoveries often make headlines (especially those in the Galilee), and "deconstructionist histories" are often designed to shock. For many lay Christians, a new fascination with the study of Jesus is confusing. We have the gospels, the letters of Paul and the rest of the New Testament that told the story. And these stories are re-enacted in the liturgy at Christmas and Easter. Priests and ministers are trained in Seminaries to elucidate the "meaning" of the texts, updating them for modern Christians. Why does any of this need "revision?" And what is meant by "the historical Jesus?" Is he different from the Jesus of the New Testament? The simple answer is "yes," if we mean that the Jesus who was an apocalyptic prophet in the first century is different from the "Christ" of the churches (divine) and eventually the second member of "The Trinity," co-equal with god (325 CE). Centuries of later Christian theology and traditions are constantly read back into the gospels where they are historically out of place. For example, Jesus was not the founder of Christianity; all our evidence demonstrates that he (and his early followers) were not interested in starting a new religion. Jesus was not "the first Christian.""--

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?

Download or read book Ancient Judaism and Christian Origins written by George W. E. Nickelsburg and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century, Christian scholars portrayed Judaism as the dark religious backdrop to the liberating events of Jesus' life and the rise of the early church. Since the 1950s, however, a dramatic shift has occurred in the study of Judaism, driven by new manuscript and archaeological discoveries and new methods and tools for analyzing sources. George Nickelsburg here provides a broad and synthesizing picture of the results of the past fifty years of scholarship on early Judaism and Christianity. He organizes his discussion around a number of traditional topics: scripture and tradition, Torah and the righteous life, God's activity on humanity's behalf, agents of God's activity, eschatology, historical circumstances, and social settings. Each of the chapters discusses the findings of contemporary research on early Judaism, and then sketches the implications of this research for a possible reinter-pretation of Christianity. Still, in the author's view, there remains a major Jewish-Christian agenda yet to be developed and implemented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding the Roots of Christianity is for people who are curious about the historical Jesus, his followers, and the movement they began. Who were they, and how was their message understood by those who heard them? Where did the New Testament of the Bible come from? In a personal, thoughtful style, Luke Painter brings into focus the life and times of the Jewish prophet Jesus of Nazareth, bridging the gap between personal study of the Bible and academic scholarship. Sources outside the Bible, including the ancient historian Josephus and recently discovered ""lost scriptures"" such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, reveal the diversity of early Christian beliefs. Roman religious beliefs influenced how the Christian message was understood during the transition from Jewish sects to the official religion of the Roman Empire. Clear and concise, and based on careful historical research, this book guides the reader through what is known about the earliest origins of Christianity as well as recent discoveries and debates. The author's personal journey of faith and passionate interest in the people behind the New Testament enliven the facts of history, illuminating their meaning for their own time as well as today. ""Luke Painter's work is a fine service to thoughtful people. He writes with clarity and honesty on the basis of much careful research."" --Elaine H. Pagels, Professor of Religion, Princeton University ""Luke Painter's Finding the Roots of Christianity: A Spiritual and Historical Journey is a compelling exegesis on the origins of belief. His approach is sensitive to the diversity of interpretations that flow from the text of the Christian Bible. As a college professor who teaches about belief (religious and otherwise), I find his analysis eminently teachable and would be pleased to use it alongside the Old and New Testaments and other foundational texts in my school's first-year student seminar."" --Richard L. Wallace, Professor, Ursinus College Luke Painter's interest in religion began at an early age, as the son of church pastors. A scientist and musician, with degrees in religion, philosophy, and ecology, he teaches ecology and conservation at Oregon State University. The author of numerous scientific articles, Finding the Roots of Christianity is his first book on Christian origins, written for the general reader. He has an unusual ability to speak clearly and personally about this controversial and complex subject.
