This book was released on 2005-09-09 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preaching pastors, ministers, and priests know how quickly Sundays come and go. The Lectionary Commentary will not slow the pace of the weekly calendar, but it will help assure that sermon preparation begins with a solid engagement with Scripture. Designed to "jump start" the difficult task of sermon preparation, this indispensable three-volume work gathers exegetical essays on biblical texts from the Revised Common Lectionary. Covering every Sunday of the three-year liturgical cycle, as well as Christmas Day, Epiphany, and Ascension Day, the readings are arranged in canonical order so as to be of use to all preachers. Seventy-eight pastors, priests, and teachers from a variety of Christian traditions have contributed their insights to The Lectionary Commentary. Designed to answer the question What does the preacher need to know about this text in order to preach a faithful sermon from it?, each of their essays closely considers its specific biblical text, all the while remaining alert to the contemporary context in which the sermon will be spoken and heard. The result is an invaluable resource that will aid in the difficult task of facilitating a meaningful encounter between Holy Scripture and our modern world. This volume, The Second Readings: Acts and the Epistles, provides exegetical commentary on the lectionary readings for the final selections from Act and for all of the New Testament Epistles, from Romans to Revelation. Also unique to this volume is an excellent essay by Colin E. Gunton on preaching from the Letters. Consulting Editors: Richard A. Burridge Thomas W. Gillespie Colin E. Gunton Robert W.

Download or read book Knowing the Unknowable God written by James R. Lucas and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2010-05-19 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet the God Who Is Greater Than Your Biggest Questions. The Bible never shies away from seeming contradictions. We are told both to resist our enemies and to love them, and that our all-knowing God can sometimes forget. Unable to reconcile such biblical paradoxes, some people abandon Christianity, while others pretend that the seeming contradictions don’t exist–preferring to believe in an uncomplicated, easy-to-comprehend God. Yet countless others are hungry for new insight into the God behind the Bible’s mysterious paradoxes. Responding to this spiritual hunger, James Lucas delves into the mysteries of Scripture, demonstrating that biblical “contradictions” are actually exquisite paradoxes that enlarge our understanding of God. With this book as your guide, you can embrace the paradoxes of Scripture and pursue honest answers to your hardest questions. The study of biblical paradox leads to greater devotion to the majestic God who makes himself known even while he surpasses human understanding. Today, you can begin Knowing the Unknowable God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian life cannot be fully understood or experienced without first grasping the importance of prayer.

Into God's Presence explores the nature and use of prayer throughout the entire New Testament. Written by twelve leading biblical scholars with diverse confessional perspectives, this insightful volume first discusses Christian prayer in relation to prayer in the Old Testament, the Greco-Roman world, first-century Judaism, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The rest of the book takes an instructive look at prayer as it appears from Matthew to Revelation, with special attention given to Jesus as an exemplar and teacher of prayer.
Book Synopsis Prayer Is Simple by : Edward DeVries
Download or read book Prayer Is Simple written by Edward DeVries and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-09-18 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basic instruction on how to pray - a step-by-step walk through ""The Lord's Prayer."" Religion has a terrible habit of complicating the simple. When the Disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray He did not give them a theological discourse. He did not preach a sermon - or a series of sermons. There were no detailed instructions. He simply said, ""After this manner pray ye,"" and then, He prayed a very brief and simple prayer to the Heavenly Father. In less than 5 minutes Jesus had taught His disciples everything they needed to know in order to begin conversing with their Heavenly Father. Yes, Friends and Neighbors, prayer really is SIMPLE! Do you struggle in your prayer life? Do you desire to pray? To simply pray? To simply set or kneel and converse with your Heavenly Father? Jesus taught His disciples how to do so in just a few short minutes. Prayer is Simple! So simple, that, as this easy to read book illustrates, even a child can do it.
Book Synopsis From Hope to Despair in Thessalonica by : Colin R. Nicholl
Download or read book From Hope to Despair in Thessalonica written by Colin R. Nicholl and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-04 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground breaking analysis cuts to the heart of the critical debate surrounding the two Thessalonian Epistles. Colin R. Nicholl examines the situations giving rise to each Letter with a view to determining how the two relate historically. His book presents an original and compelling hypothesis, arguing that reflected in the Letters are two stages of a single crisis plaguing a recently formed Greek Church, which spiralled from hope into despair on account of confusion about 'the end'. In addition to making a fresh case for the authenticity of 2 Thessalonians and resolving one of the most difficult problems in the Bible - the identity of 'the Restrainer' - this monograph is a comprehensive analysis of the Thessalonian Epistles. It will provide an indispensable resource for scholars and pastors interested in the Thessalonian correspondence.
