Book Synopsis Lo, I Tell You a Mystery by : David A. Ackerman
Download or read book Lo, I Tell You a Mystery written by David A. Ackerman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The divine mystery, as interpreted by Paul, offers transformation. The believer who identifies with the death and resurrection of Christ by putting to death the old way of life (Rom 6:5-11; Gal 2:20) enters into a new sphere of influence characterized by intimate fellowship with Christ. One who is in this sphere is free from the snare of Adam and the world and is no longer bound by the power of sin and death. The divine mystery also offers a new source of power by the indwelling Holy Spirit. The Spirit brings gifts to those in Christ that enable them to function as community. The highest and most significant of these is love which brings diversity together into unity. The indicative is that the Spirit graces believers with love. The imperative is that they should follow after the example of Paul, and hence Christ, in loving others. The divine Spirit is described as holy and makes holiness possible for those in Christ. The indicative is that fellowship with Christ is possible because of redemption. The imperative is that Christ demands loyalty which cannot be shared with any other, particularly with prostitutes who represent the ways of the world or idols that open doors for demons. --from the Conclusion
Download or read book Death and Life written by Andy Boakye and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The resurrection of Jesus is arguably the most significant component of the Christian narrative and is critical for Paul's presentation of the Gospel. Yet it is routinely marginalized in study of the polemics of Galatians, largely because it is explicitly mentioned only once, and even then, only obliquely. This investigation redraws the boundaries of its impact in the letter, showing the risen Christ to be an indispensable feature of how Paul's argument unfolds and achieves its ultimate objective--establishing a rationale for the creation of a multiethnic eschatological family of God, which is grounded in Israel's biblical tradition.
Book Synopsis Polarity and Change in 1 Corinthians 15 by : Jeffrey R. Asher
Download or read book Polarity and Change in 1 Corinthians 15 written by Jeffrey R. Asher and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2000 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeffrey R. Asher examines the themes of polarity and change in Paul's argument in 1 Corinthians 15:35-57. He demonstrates that Paul uses a didactic method of argumentation to demonstrate to some of the Corinthians that there will be a resurrection of the dead. Given the nature of Paul's argument, it is quite likely that certain members of the Corinthian church denied the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead because they believed that it is impossible for a terrestrial body to be raised to the celestial realm. In addition they considered the two cosmic realms to constitute a polarity. Using a didactic method of accommodation in verses 35-49, Paul demonstrates to these Corinthian intellectuals that the doctrine of the resurrection complies with the polarity that exists between the celestial and terrestrial realms. In verses 50-57, he corrects their false conclusion regarding the resurrection by showing that the body will be changed to conform with the strictures of heavenl y existence.
Book Synopsis Paul and the Rhetoric of Reversal in 1 Corinthians: Volume 155 by : Matthew R. Malcolm
Download or read book Paul and the Rhetoric of Reversal in 1 Corinthians: Volume 155 written by Matthew R. Malcolm and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first letter to the Corinthians is one of the most discussed biblical books in New Testament scholarship today. Despite this, there has been no consensus on its arrangement and central theme, in particular why the topic of the resurrection was left until the end of the letter, and what its theological significance would have been to the Corinthian church. Matthew R. Malcolm analyses this rhetoric of 'reversal', examines the unity of the epistle, and addresses key problems behind particular chapters. He argues that while Jewish and Greco-Roman resources contribute significantly to the overall arrangement of the letter, Paul writes as one whose identity and rhetorical resources of structure and imagery have been transformed by his preaching, or kerygma, of Christ. The study will be of interest to students of New Testament studies, Pauline theology and early Christianity.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Bodily Experience on Paul’s Resurrection Theology by : Kai-Hsuan Chang
Download or read book The Impact of Bodily Experience on Paul’s Resurrection Theology written by Kai-Hsuan Chang and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kai-Hsuan Chang engages with the longstanding scholarly debate concerning the development of Paul's resurrection theology, by investigating the correlation between his bodily experiences and his diverse articulations about resurrection. Drawing on insights from cognitive linguistics, Chang considers Paul's ideas about resurrection as fundamentally grounded in recurrent patterns of bodily experience, arguing that such experience of some religious activities in Paul's time-death rites, spirit possession, and baptism-contributed to the formation and development of his resurrection theology. Chang demonstrates that developments in Paul's ideas about “bodily transformation at resurrection” - reflected in 1 Corinthians 15 - resulted from a change in the experiential patterns on which his new idea is constructed, rather than “transformation during heavenly ascent” as seen in Jewish traditions of resurrection. He thus applies cognitive linguistic tools to two considerations; first, whether Paul had contextual reasons to generate his innovation in 1 Corinthians 15, and second, whether Paul's innovation recurred or had continual effects in Christian groups. In so doing, Chang shows that Paul's innovation directly addressed a contextual issue of death rites in Corinth and exerted a continuing effect on Paul's later ideas of transformation, spirit possession, and baptism.
Book Synopsis Apostle of Persuasion by : James W. Thompson
Download or read book Apostle of Persuasion written by James W. Thompson and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the culmination of a career of researching and teaching Paul's letters. Highly respected senior New Testament scholar James Thompson offers a unique approach to Pauline theology, focusing on Paul's attempts to persuade his audience toward moral formation. Thompson recognizes Paul as a pastor who brought together theology and rhetoric to encourage spiritual formation in his communities. Attempts to find total consistency in Paul's writings fail, says Thompson, because Paul's persuasive tactics changed depending on the situation he was addressing.
Book Synopsis The Corinthian Women Prophets by : Antoinette Wire
Download or read book The Corinthian Women Prophets written by Antoinette Wire and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-10-03 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am impressed. Wire's method, a close scrutiny of Paul's rhetoric to reconstruct the audience of the letter, is intriguing and fruitful. Ross Shepard Kraemer, Editor of 'Maenads, Martyrs, Matrons, and Monastics' Antoinette Wire has written an excellent and much-needed book on the Corinthian women prophets. A careful analysis of the rhetoric of Paul's argument has enabled Wire to reconstruct the theological understanding of the Corinthian Christian women and to show how Paul's loss of social status in becoming a Christian affected his theology and how their gain in status influenced theirs. An important book for feminist biblical scholarship, for our understanding of early Christianity, and for our understanding of how social status and theology may interrelate.

Book Synopsis Paul's Glory-Christology by : Carey C. Newman
Download or read book Paul's Glory-Christology written by Carey C. Newman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1927 C.A.A. Scott, while commenting on the apostle Paul's Christology, remarked that the "history of the word Glory in the Bible has yet to be written." By using methodology developed in semantics, semiotics, and, more generally, literary theory, Newman examines the origin and rhetoric of Paul's Glory-Christology. The investigation involves three distinct tasks: (1) to plot the tradition-history of Glory which formed part of Paul's linguistic world, (2) to examine Paul's letter, in light of the reconstructed tradition-history of Glory, in order to discern the rationale of Paul's identification of Christ as Glory and, (3) to map out the implications of such an identification for Paul's theological and rhetorical strategy. On the basis of this study, four conclusions are reached for understanding Paul. First, Paul inherited a symbolic universe with signs already "full" of signification. Second, knowing the (diachronically acquired) connotative range of a "surface" symbol (e.g. Glory) aids in discerning Paul's precise contingent strategy. Third, knowing the "surface" symbol's referential power defines and contributes to the "deeper structure" of Paul's theological grammar. Finally, the heuristic power within the construals of the Glory tradition coalesce in Paul's Christophany and thus provide coherence at the "deepest" level of Paul's Christology.

Book Synopsis Focusing on Paul by : Andrie du Toit
Download or read book Focusing on Paul written by Andrie du Toit and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-02-13 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1970’s, due to serious epistemological flaws, the demise of traditional New Testament research paradigms became imminent. A new generation of scholars started the search for a fresh approach, based on scientifically sound principles. Working within the stimulating atmosphere of the New Testament Society of South Africa, the author was one of the pioneers in developing a new, multi-dimensional research approach for New Testament studies. The articles in the present volume, written over a period of 25 years, reflect part of this journey, as viewed from a Pauline perspective. Combining the positive aspects of the traditional biblical research paradigms with the important insights of modern linguistics, literary science, semantics and pragmatics, particularly rhetoric, the author investigates the convergence of various influences in Paul’s pre-christian career. He proposes new possibilities of understanding Paul’s language and style, such as hyperbolical contrasts, typical of his Semitic background. Various aspects of his strategies of persuasion are investigated, such as creating an ethos, vilification, alienation and re-identification. The majority of articles concentrate on central elements in Pauline theology: belief in the resurrection of Jesus, the centrality of grace, the in Christ and related formulae, faith and obedience, justification in Romans, Christian identity, ethics and ethos, as portrayed in Romans.

Book Synopsis DEATH Swallowed Up In Victory by : Frank Dobrowski
Download or read book DEATH Swallowed Up In Victory written by Frank Dobrowski and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century has created this great debate among those of the church here in America and around the world: Do Christians get taken up before the great tribulation or after? This debate seems to bounce back-and-forth with one idea against another, and when all is said and done, nobody seems to be the better for it one way or another. Scripture after scripture is quoted for pre-trib and then post-trib with such serious proclamation and both sides end up walking away in great dismay wondering about the other, "How could they not see what I was saying?" Is there an end to this debate before some telling time or event comes along for all to see? It was the apostle Paul who tackled this topic with great care and understanding. His discourse was with great insight and revelation that seemed to have come from the Lord Himself. In Paul's writings to Corinth, he finally came to state, "Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." What was Paul declaring here when he said "swallowed up"? Where has the church stood on the term "swallowed up"? Where are all the debaters at in regard to this term? Could this statement of Paul's be an end to this debate? I most assuredly say yes. I have found that Paul's statement is an irrefutable one declaring a post tribulation res/rap judgment. All of Paul's teachings on this topic are in full agreement, strengthening this idea without controversy. Once you see it and understand it, you will be converted to stand by it! Come take a look for yourself.
