Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engaging introduction to the New Testament, Professor Dale B. Martin presents a historical study of the origins of Christianity by analyzing the literature of the earliest Christian movements. Focusing mainly on the New Testament, he also considers nonbiblical Christian writings of the era. Martin begins by making a powerful case for the study of the New Testament. He next sets the Greco-Roman world in historical context and explains the place of Judaism within it. In the discussion of each New Testament book that follows, the author addresses theological themes, then emphasizes the significance of the writings as ancient literature and as sources for historical study. Throughout the volume, Martin introduces various early Christian groups and highlights the surprising variations among their versions of Christianity.

Book Synopsis The Plan of God in Luke-Acts by : John T. Squires
Download or read book The Plan of God in Luke-Acts written by John T. Squires and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines one significant theological theme in Luke-Acts, that of 'The plan of God'. It traces the way this theme is developed throughout Luke-Acts, both through direct statements by the writer and through various associated means such as divine appearances, signs and wonders, the fulfilment of prophecy, and indications of fate as of necessity. Dr Squires locates Luke's use of this theme in the context of the history-writing of the Hellenistic period, noting numerous passages in those works which illumine Luke's theological purposes. His book shows how the notion of the plan of God is used by Luke as he writes to confirm his readers' faith, encouraging them to bear witness to this faith, and equipping them for the task of defending it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preachers and Bible teachers will find this book helpful in guiding them to be biblical storytellers. Testimonies to the value of Dr. Richard Jensen's book have been numerous and include the following: Rather than preach about the biblical text one is encouraged and equipped to proclaim the biblical narrative. His book is refreshingly practical and biblical. It stimulates biblical preaching, preparation and proclamation. The preacher is moved from telling a story to telling the story. Pastor Paul Gunsten St. Philip Lutheran Church Roanoke, Virginia I really appreciate the direction each chapter opens for possible preaching emphasis. I thought the first few chapters might just be flukes ... but each succeeding one holds its own. Thanks! Pastor William Lawson Trinity Lutheran Church Green Bay, Wisconsin Through a process of "narrative analogy" Dr. Jensen shows how the stories in the appointed texts of the Revised Common Lectionary relate to the other stories in Luke/Acts. In so doing, he opens up new discoveries for preaching. Richard A. Jensen is well known for his 10 years of preaching for the national radio program Lutheran Vespers. He is currently Dean of the Program for Doctor of Ministry in Preaching sponsored by the Association of Chicago Theological Seminaries and also professor of Homiletics at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.

Book Synopsis Political Issues in Luke-Acts by : Richard J. Cassidy
Download or read book Political Issues in Luke-Acts written by Richard J. Cassidy and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""The contributors represent varying outlooks in New Testament study so that the book offers a continuation of the current debate rather than a set of agreed conclusions. The editors of this symposium deserve our thanks for bringing together this series of useful essays which no student of the social teaching in the New Testament and of Luke's writings in particular ought to miss."" --I. Howard Marshall, Professor of New Testament Exegesis, University of Aberdeen ""Various phases of Luke's challenge (to the powers of his day) are discussed in some detail by the contributors to this symposium; and, in consequence, much light is thrown on Luke's purpose in writing. I am happy to commend this new volume of studies to the serious attention of students and teachers of the New Testament and early Christian history."" --F. F. Bruce, Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis, University of Manchester ""These lively, provocative, and well-informed essays center around the thesis of Dr. Richard J. Cassidy in his Jesus, Politics, and Society, in which he challenges the notion that Luke-Acts was written as a political apologetic. The result is a stimulating debate, as though one were participating in a discussion, at once learned and relevant, on the exegetical issue of Lukan redaction, and of course, on the moral question of Jesus' attitude toward civil authority."" -Howard Clark Kee, William Goodwin Aurelio Professor of Biblical Studies, Boston University ""Here we have ten studies which sharply probe aspects of the political Luke and/or Luke's political Jesus, including a study by Cassidy himself as well as studies which take him to task on various counts. All told, Political Issues in Luke-Acts is an extremely valuable showcase of the most current research in Luke-Acts and its societal concerns."" --Edward C. Hobbs, Professor of Religion, Wellesley College, Visiting Professor of New Testament, Harvard University Richard J. Cassidy serves as Professor of Sacred Scripture at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Michigan. His most recent books are Paul in Chains: Roman Imprisonment and the Letters of Paul and Four Times Peter: Portrayals of Peter in the Four Gospels and at Philippi. He is currently completing a commentary on St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians. Prior to his death, Philip J. Scharper served as an editor of Commonweal, was the American editor of Sheed and Ward, and was the founding editor of Orbis Books. He received seven honorary degrees and numerous awards for his contribution to religious publishing. With his wife, Sally, he authored more than thirty nationally televised religious documentaries, which have received twenty international and national awards, including several Emmys.
Book Synopsis Preaching Luke-Acts by : David Schnasa Jacobsen
Download or read book Preaching Luke-Acts written by David Schnasa Jacobsen and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Preaching Luke–Acts, David Schnasa Jacobsen and Günter Wasserberg introduce preachers to the big picture about Luke–Acts. They provide helpful guidance in seeing how an understanding of the larger scheme and purpose of these books can inform and enliven one's preaching of the texts. They demonstrate that the author of Luke–Acts wrote out of a specific set of pastoral concerns, and they then relate these concerns to a contemporary context. For example, they provide specific help in understanding the strain of anti-Judaism that runs through the writing. They provide well-detailed examinations of several Luke–Acts texts drawn from the lectionary, placing them in the context of the overall pastoral and theological purpose of the book and outlining a possible sermon to be preached from the text.
Book Synopsis Stephen's Sermon and the Structure of Luke-Acts by : Delbert Leroy Wiens
Download or read book Stephen's Sermon and the Structure of Luke-Acts written by Delbert Leroy Wiens and published by D & F Scott Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 1995 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this insightful and thorough study, intended for serious students of the New Testament, Delbert Wiens analyses Stephen's Sermon in Acts 7, and points out not only that it is a basic outline of the gospel, the 'good news' which the disciples were to proclaim, but that its literary structure is paralleled by the structures of both Luke and Acts. Stephen argued that Israel's sacred history revealed the developmental stages of the Kingdom of God, which was completed with the event of the Christ. Luke and Acts present the life of Jesus and the Church in parallel stages. As Luke promised Theophilus (Luke 1:1-4), the significance of the deeds and words of Jesus are to be discovered in the structure of what Luke had written.

Book excerpt: "This enormously useful volume presents a 'world' of information and theoretical perspectives that have become indispensable for contextual exegesis of Luke-Acts. The authors of this fascinating and well-planned book are seasoned and trustworthy guides into the world inhabited by Luke and his first readers. These provocative articles provide the commentary reader of Luke-Acts with mighty tools for creating first-century scenarios that reveal significantly new dimensions of Luke's cutting edges." " S. Scott Bartchy, associate professor of Early Christian History, U.C.L.A. "This is clearly the best collection of articles available from the New Testament scholars employing methods of interpretation from cultural anthropology. The writers introduce a wide range of innovative models to unravel the culture of the Biblical world. They offer the first comprehensive analysis of a single New Testament text from the perspective of the social sciences. This highly readable volume will be essential for anyone eager to experience the flood of insights coming from recent social study of the New Testament." " David Rhoads, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago
