Book Synopsis The Message of the Book of Revelation by : Charles T. Chapman
Download or read book The Message of the Book of Revelation written by Charles T. Chapman and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no book in the history of the world has been as misunderstood and misappropriated as the Book of Revelation. Those people versed in the methods of scholarly interpretation (exegesis) may understand the symbolism of this work, but what about the general reader? How is he or she to know whether this book is being soundly interpreted or misinterpreted? Father Chapman writes for the general reader, for the many who need to understand the truth of The Message of the Book of Revelation -both its historical message and its message for Christians today. He explains, phrase by phrase, in clear, direct terms what has been learned about the genre of writings called apocalyptic literature - of which Revelation is a part - and how that knowledge can be properly used to interpret the images and symbols of Revelation. Faithful to the teaching of the Church, this explanation of Revelation "reveals" this biblical book to be an inspiring, hope-filled, poetic portrayal of the triumph of Christ and his followers over the powers of evil. The Rev. Charles T. Chapman, Jr., was raised and educated as a Southern Baptist. He joined the Episcopal Church in 1980 and was ordained priest in 1987. He holds degrees from Union University and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, with further training at the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest. With Bible teaching and writing among his principle interests, Fr. Chapman offers this commentary in the hopes that reason and scholarship can shed light on a biblical work where baseless, extravagant imagination has long cast its shadow.

Book Synopsis Christ and his myths by : Diego kurilo
Download or read book Christ and his myths written by Diego kurilo and published by Sophia Lux. This book was released on with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Christianity had its origin in the eschatological ministry of Jesus. After his death, his initial followers banded together to form an apocalyptic messianic Jewish sect, known as Judeo- Christians, during the late Second Temple period in the 1st century. Initially, the prevailing belief was that the resurrection of Jesus marked the beginning of the end of times. However, over time, this perspective evolved into anticipating the second coming of Jesus and the beginning of the Kingdom of God at a future time. References: Fredriksen, 2018. Barnett, Paul (2002). Jesus, the Rise of Early Christianity: A History of New Testament Times. InterVarsity Press. p. 21. ISBN 0-8308-2699-8. Alister McGrath, former professor of historical theology at the University of Oxford, claims that many of the “Jewish Christians” of the first century were completely faithful religious Jews. Referencia: McGrath, Alister E. (2006). Christianity: An Introduction. Blackwell Publishing. ISBN 1-4051-0899-1. p. 174: «In effect, they [Jewish Page 1 de 389 Christ and his myths Christians] seemed to regard Christianity as an affirmation of every aspect of contemporary Judaism, with the addition of one extra belief — that Jesus was the Messiah. Unless males were circumcised, they could not be saved (Acts 15:1)». Historically, Christians of Jewish descent who adhered to the prescriptions of the Mosaic Law constituted a significant part of Christianity in the 1st century. However, due to the tumultuous historical events that affected Palestine during that period, this current experienced a considerable dispersion. Over time, this community diversified, giving rise to a series of groups with diverse theologies and beliefs. In the West, these Judaizing Christian variants became extinct during the 4th century, while in the East, their decline lasted until the 6th century. The Christian movement has its genesis in Palestine as a Jewish sect of an apocalyptic messianic type, which evolved in the Roman world from the 1st to the 4th century, in groups of Judeo-Christian Romans with a Hellenic imprint and symbology, many of the parables of the New Testament have a marked Pythagorean aesthetic. The authorship of the term "Judeo-Christianity" is attributed to a liberal Protestant biblical exegete, Ferdinand Christian Baur, founder of the Tübingen school, in an article published in 1831. Christianity in the First Century encompasses the formative history of Christianity, from the beginning of Jesus' ministry (c. 27-29 AD) to the death of the last of the Twelve Page 2 de 389 Christ and his myths Apostles (c. 100) (and therefore Therefore, it is also known as the Apostolic Age). Early Christianity spans several historical periods, each of which played a crucial role in the development of the Church. The ancient church era is generally divided into several stages, including the period of the apostolic fathers, the apologists, the early Christian martyrs, the church fathers, and the late ancient imperial church. This period extends from the early days of Christianity to the Council of Chalcedon in the year 451 and is considered an integral part of the history of the Church. In the Western Church, the early church era often extends to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Some authors extend this period to the papacy of Gregory the Great (540-604), considered the last father of the Western Church. Gregory is also recognized in the Eastern Church. This extension marks the end of a crucial phase in the history of the Church and is characterized by the transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages. Paul of Tarsus, also known as Saul of Tarsus or Saul Paul, and venerated as Saint Paul (born in Tarsus, Cilicia, around 5-10 AD and died in Rome in the year 58-67), is recognized as the "Apostle of the Gentiles", the "Apostle to the nations" or simply "the Apostle". This influential character played a fundamental role in the founding of Christian communities and stood out as Page 3 de 389 Christ and his myths an evangelizer in important urban centers of the Roman Empire, such as Antioch, Corinth, Ephesus and Rome. In addition to his work as a preacher, Paul was the author of some of the first canonical Christian writings, including the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, considered the oldest known. His impact on early Christianity is undeniable, establishing himself as a leading figure and one of the most influential personalities in the entire history of Christianity. References:Brown (2002). Introduction to the New Testament, II, p. 557: "Along with Jesus, Paul has been the most influential character in the history of Christianity." Vidal García (2007). Pablo. From Tarsus to Rome, p. 11: "Obviously, Paul's presence in early Christianity was not that of a simple witness, but that of a qualified and, in several aspects, unique actor.” Analysis of the authentic epistles of Paul of Tarsus reveals the unique amalgamation of his Jewish roots, the profound influence of Hellenic culture, and his remarkable interaction with the Roman Empire. The letters written by Paul offer a fascinating vision of his identity, in which his Jewish heritage converges, which shaped his spiritual perspective, the rich influence of Hellenic culture that formed his thought and expressions, and his notorious connection with the Roman Empire. , to which, according to the story in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, he held citizenship. This complex combination of cultural influences and identities underscores the diversity that Page 4 de 389 Christ and his myths characterizes Pablo's life and work, highlighting his ability to adapt and communicate effectively in different contexts. His ability to resonate with both Jewish and Gentile audiences, as well as his role in spreading the Christian message in the cultural melting pot of the Mediterranean world, contribute to cementing his position as an extraordinary figure in religious and cultural history. of early Christianity. The early community of Jerusalem marked the beginning of Christian gatherings after Pentecost, developing between the 1930s and 1970s. In Christian history, early Christianity refers to the emergence of faith after the death of Jesus around the year 30 or 33. Some scholars place its conclusion with the writing of the synoptic gospels around 90 AD, while others associate it with the appearance of the apologists in the second century.

Book Synopsis 3D Cinematic Aesthetics and Storytelling by : Yong Liu
Download or read book 3D Cinematic Aesthetics and Storytelling written by Yong Liu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that 3D films are becoming more sophisticated in utilising stereoscopic effects for storytelling purposes. Since Avatar (2009), we have seen a 3D revival marked by its integration with new digital technologies. With this book, the author goes beyond exploring 3D’s spectacular graphics and considers how 3D can be used to enhance visual storytelling. The chapters include visual comparisons between 2D and 3D to highlight their respective narrative features; an examination of the narrative tropes and techniques used by contemporary 3D filmmakers; and a discussion of the narrative implications brought by the coexistence of flatness and depth in 3D visuality. In demonstrating 3D cinematic aesthetics and storytelling, Yong Liu analyses popular films such as Hugo (2011), Life of Pi (2012), Gravity (2013), Star Trek Into Darkness (2013, and The Great Gatsby (2013). The book is an investigation into contemporary forms of stereoscopic storytelling derived from a unique, long-existing mode of cinematic illusions.

Download or read book Revelation Exegetical Commentary - 2 volume set written by Robert L. Thomas and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 1772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get back to the roots on Revelation Through the centuries since its writing, the book of Revelation has captured the fascination of the Christian church. The earliest Christians were unanimous in understanding it along a premillennial view of Jesus' second coming, but other hermeneutical approaches began to emerge in the third century. These clouded, and added complexity to, the task of explaining the book’s meaning. For most of the Christian era, consequently, many readers have viewed this last of the NT writings as though it were hopelessly embedded in an aura of deep mystery. An avalanche of interpretive literature has evidenced remarkable interest in the book’s contents, but along with the interest has come widespread bewilderment. Written especially for the informed layman, student, and scholar, this commentary seeks to clear the air. The book is interpreted according to a historical and grammatical hermeneutic and propounds a conservative, evangelical theology, but the reader will not get a narrow view on areas of disagreement. This commentary interacts with a range of major views, both evangelical and nonevangelical. It reaffirms the basic framework of eschatology espoused by ancient Christianity, but with added help from centuries of maturing thought and doctrinal progress in the Body of Christ. All exegesis and exposition in this 2-volume commentary are based on the original language of the text. Translations used are those of the author, and textual criticism and word study are included where appropriate. This in-depth commentary also includes extended excursuses on important topics of theological and historical interest.
