Book Synopsis Paul and his Rivals by : Clair Mesick
Download or read book Paul and his Rivals written by Clair Mesick and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of Paul’s Corinthian correspondence is a historical puzzle. How did the relative calm of 1 Corinthians deteriorate into the chaos of 2 Corinthians, and what role did the so-called Jewish “super-apostles” play in that conflict? This book proposes a new solution: it was Paul, not his rivals, who shot the first volley in the Corinthian conflict. Paul’s claims of unique authority—for instance, as the architect atop whose foundation all others must build (1 Cor 3:10) and the Corinthians’ father while others are mere pedagogues (4:15)—would relegate other leaders to lesser positions. His contention that accepting financial support put an obstacle before the gospel (9:12) would jeopardize the livelihood of apostles who relied on such support. Finally, Paul’s claim that he becomes “lawless to the lawless” (9:21) or that “circumcision is nothing” (7:19) could throw into question Paul’s own Jewishness (cf. 2 Cor 11:22). By reading the Corinthian correspondence against the grain—imagining how Paul’s letter might have backfired for an audience who did not yet take him as scripture—this book explores how misunderstandings and misinterpretations can fracture church communities and cause a ripple effect of conflict and accusation.

Book Synopsis Paul and His Team by : Ryan Lokkesmoe
Download or read book Paul and His Team written by Ryan Lokkesmoe and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can we learn about leadership and influence from Paul? Most Christians know something of the apostle Paul’s life and ministry, but what about the incredible team of influencers he assembled and mobilized? Who were they, and how did Paul lead this team to accomplish God’s purposes? Even more, what can we learn from their successes and failures, and how can we imitate their qualities? These are the questions that inspired Ryan Lokkesmoe, PhD, to write Paul and His Team. Like a church-ministry version of Team of Rivals, it reveals important principles about leadership and influence by showing how this early ministry team: Adapted to cultural, doctrinal, and interpersonal challenges Found common ground with their audiences Led baby believers toward maturity Stayed united despite differing opinions Equipped others for the work of the ministry Conducted their lives with self-discipline Built and maintained strategic partnerships Navigated sensitive cross-cultural situations Persisted through difficulty, frustration, and fractured relationships Persevered when ministry was discouraging Developed leaders to replace them Whether you are in a position of leadership or are simply a passionate follower of Christ, you are an influencer that God is using to build His church. And while Paul and His Team certainly reveals a lot about Paul's character as a leader, it also highlights both prominent and obscure members of his team to offer a textured portrait of the early church’s influence in spreading the gospel. Let’s learn from the men and women God used to build the church, letting them shape our leadership and influence as we continue their work. Includes group discussion questions at the end of each chapter, making this book ideal for a church-staff or small group study.

Book excerpt: This book introduces a dynamic, new framework for using law, litigation, regulation and lobbying as part of competitive business strategy.

Written in a lively style with a host of stories and examples drawn from business history as well as contemporary events, professor G. Richard Shell of the world-famous Wharton School of Business shows how business leaders from Henry Ford and Bill Gates and corporate rivals from Coke to Pepsi have fought and won the battle for legal supremacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rival Philosophies of Jesus and of Paul It must have a severe shock to any sincere person to realize how practically ineffective has been the witness and teaching of the Christian Church: practically ineffective, that is, in achieving the end which any unprejudiced student of religion would suppose to be its raison d'etre. It has not, unfortunately, been ineffective in producing controversies, fomenting misunderstandings, erecting barriers. Nor, to do it justice, has it been ineffective in producing many noble types of individual life and character. Its ineffectiveness has been social. It is pledged up to the hilt, and in all varieties of its organization and expression, to the promotion of the Reign of Righteousness and the Brotherhood of Man. We do not need the terrible object-lesson of the present ghastly war to compel us to recognize that progress towards these ends has been appallingly slow, if even taking place at all. Yet the realization of these things is of infinitely greater moment than either doctrinal orthodoxy or individual piety. This plain fact has been clearly envisaged by the author of this book, and he has with scientific honesty approached the question - Why is organized Christianity an ineffective instrument for the attainment of the supreme object for which it should exist if it really believed in Jesus? The reply - which is the result of an honest and unbiased examination of the New Testament records undertaken in the spirit and with the methods of science - is likely to be astonishing and upsetting to many excellent and well-intentioned people. The truth is nearly always upsetting. And people with theological preconceptions are the most easily upset.
