Book Synopsis God's Kingdom through His Priest-King by : J. Alexander Rutherford
Download or read book God's Kingdom through His Priest-King written by J. Alexander Rutherford and published by Teleioteti. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though many studies have probed the significance of the Davidic Covenant (2 Sam 7:1-17) within the biblical canon, few have endeavoured to explore its significance within the narrative of Samuel. This thesis argues that by weaving references to God's promises made to David (collectively known as the Davidic Covenant) throughout his narrative, that author of Samuel reveals God's will to strip away all human pretension by bringing His promises to fulfillment through the lowly David, whose acension to kingship and endurance therein is owing all to God. In this way, the author fulfills his purpose to demonstrate God's sovereign working in history to establish His kingdom on earth through His chosen priest-king, a descendant of David, in fulfillment of the promises He made beforehand. Engaging in a literary close-reading of the text of Samuel, the author shows how the narrative of Samuel is shaped towards this end.
Book Synopsis Priest-King's Consort by : Lisa Blackwood
Download or read book Priest-King's Consort written by Lisa Blackwood and published by Lisa Blackwood Books. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He’s as lethal as he is beautiful, desired and feared by all. She’s big, bloodthirsty, and obliterates her enemies. Never should they have met. But they did... When an unknown enemy tries to end the ruling line of the Soul Mages, Verdria is more than ready to defend Priest-King Elect Honryn and his allies in this enemy land she now must call home. But then Honryn demands she also save his sire and two older brothers—save the very soul mages responsible for the deaths of many of her people—she rebels at Honryn’s orders, until he explains why his enemies can’t die yet. But Verdria will need the aid of another lethal enemy to achieve her goal. Going against every instinct she possesses, she does as Honryn asks and seeks out his uncle, the ruling Priest-King, for his aid. Together they form an uneasy alliance that strikes terror into their enemies. While the first attempt to end the ruling line of the Soul Mage empire may have failed, Verdria is kept busy. Many factions deem Honryn too powerful and dangerous and want him dead… But even his enemies don’t know the real reason they should fear him… That they should fear what he’s becoming… Because the Serpent God soon plans to claim Honryn as his new mortal host and Verdria as his consort. Once he does, no one will ever be safe again. But Verdria's greatest nemesis is her own traitorous heart... For she wants Honryn and the monster he becomes. Tropes: Enemies-to-lovers, morally grey hero, slowburn with steam, never-even-kissed heroine, inexperienced celibate hero, royal romance, forced proximity, who hurt you, touch him and die, touch her and die, court intrigue, ‘oops I unalived a bunch of people again’ hero and heroine. Author's Note: While most of my fantasy romances are standalone, this one is a continuing story and you need to read Soul Mage first. And by the way, this one does not have a major cliffhanger at the end.
Book Synopsis Priest-King of the Warriors and Witch-Queen of the Others by : Michal Cigán
Download or read book Priest-King of the Warriors and Witch-Queen of the Others written by Michal Cigán and published by Masarykova univerzita. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kniha přináší interpretaci dvojice indoevropských mytologických témat s důrazem na jejich komplexní historický a sociálně-kognitivní kontext. Zvolený přístup umožňuje jak přehodnotit tradiční interpretaci všeobecně známého mytologického cyklu, tak i zároveň uvést mytologické téma dosud neuchopené. V první časti knihy je diskutována látka indoevropského stvořitelského mýtu. Závěrem je tvrzení, že protoindoevropský kulturní prostor pravděpodobně vznikl jako důsledek předhistorického kargo kultu. Předprotoindoevropští lovci-sběrači reagovali na příchod afroasijských farmářů způsobem připomínajícím chování moderních domorodých populací, náhle konfrontovaných s přítomností západního industriálního světa. Z toho důvodu jsou stěžejní témata a motivy indoevropského stvořitelského mýtu interpretovány jako možné relikty ideologie předprotoindoevropského kargo kultu. _x000D_Druhá část knihy je věnována vymezení nové indoevropské mytologické struktury, takzvaného mýtu o honu na čarodějnice. Prostřednictvím analýzy rozličných lokálních podob příběhu o konfliktu elity s démonickým vojskem vedeným čarodějnicí je identifikován základní vzorec tohoto narativu. Jeho sémantika je následně interpretována jako produkt sociálních a rodových nastavení archaických indoevropských společností.
Book Synopsis The King-Priest in Samuel by : Nicholas Majors
Download or read book The King-Priest in Samuel written by Nicholas Majors and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars studying the ANE have noticed that Canaanite kings ruled as a representative of their god and served in a priestly role. Yahweh allows Israel to have a king "like all the nations" (Deut 17:14), but he shapes the monarchy according to his covenant. A key question remains, does God's allowance for a king "like all the nations" include a king-priest model? This study presents a synchronic view of the king as a priest within the MT of Samuel, analyzing the motif and considering how the narrator heightens the hope for the coming anointed one, whom the narrator describes as both king (1 Sam 2:10) and priest (2:35-36). This study will argue that, from the monarchy's inception, Yahweh considered Israel's kingship a sacral task. My study examined the king as a priest through a synchronic literary-theological approach.

Book excerpt: Richard Belcher explores the Old Testament to define the basic functions of prophets, priests, and kings through an analysis of key texts.

A nuanced view of Christ's work through these offices points us to how the church, its leaders, and individual believers also fulfill these roles. Includes study questions.
Download or read book Priest King written by Lisa Blackwood and published by Lisa Blackwood. This book was released on 2024-09-21 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He’s as lethal as he is beautiful, desired and feared by all. She’s big, bloodthirsty, and obliterates her enemies. Never should they have met. But they did... With the Serpent God’s ultimatum hanging over them, Honryn and Verdria know they are running out of time. The Festival of the Vine is only four months away. And on that night the deity will claim Honryn as his mortal vessel and Verdria as his consort—a fate they both want to avoid. Yet one of the Serpent God’s new ‘gifts’ to Verdria allows her to wield soul mage magic, and she discovers she can now create long-distance portal spells like Honryn. This proves groundbreaking because Honryn has been building a secret settlement—a city situated between dragon territory and Verdria’s own homeland—and with Verdria’s help Honryn can now supply his secret new settlement twice as fast, thus guaranteeing he can evacuate all his people to the new settlement before he becomes the host for a hostile god. But there is just one problem with his plan. Honryn isn’t planning to go with them. He’s going to stay behind and become the new Priest-King and the mortal vessel for the Serpent God. Because if Honryn doesn’t stay behind, and he flees with his family back to the mountains, his uncle will send the might of the empire to crush Verdria’s homeland and ‘rescue’ Honryn. As far as Verdria is concerned, she only has two choices—find a way to free Honryn from the Serpent God or stay by his side and become his consort. Because there’s no way she’s abandoning him.
Book Synopsis The Priest and the Great King by : Lisbeth Fried
Download or read book The Priest and the Great King written by Lisbeth Fried and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2004-06-23 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lisbeth S. Fried’s insightful study investigates the impact of Achaemenid rule on the political power of local priesthoods during the 6th–4th centuries B.C.E. Scholars typically assume that, as long as tribute was sent to Susa, the capital of the Achaemenid Empire, subject peoples remained autonomous. Fried’s work challenges this assumption. She examines the inscriptions, coins, temple archives, and literary texts from Babylon, Egypt, Asia Minor, and Judah and concludes that there was no local autonomy. The only people with power in the Empire were Persians and their appointees. This was true for Judah as well. The High Priest had no real power; there was no theocracy. The wars that periodically engulfed the Levant in the fourth century temporarily pulled the ruling governors and satraps away from Judah, and during these times, the Judean priesthood may have capitalized on the brief absence of Persian officials to mint coins, but they achieved their longed-for independence only much later, under the Maccabees. Liz added this explanatory note in an e-mail to the Biblical Studies e-mail list on December 2, 2005: “There’s a confusion in reader’s minds about my methodology, which I’d like to set straight if I may. “The book is a rewrite of my dissertation. My dissertation was entitled The Rise to Power of the Judean Priesthood: The Impact of the Achaemenid Empire. I assumed at the outset that because the Achaemenid Empire was non-directive, and cared only that tribute would be sent regularly, the priesthood was able to fill the resulting power vacuum and achieve secular power. My goal was to chronicle the process. In addition I thought to look at Eisenstadt’s model which predicted the opposite result—that local elites, like priests, could not rise to power in an imperial system. Since there was no real data from Judah, I looked at temple-palace relations in Babylon, Egypt, and Asia Minor as well as Judah. “It was only during my research that I came to the conclusion that local priesthoods did not achieve secular power anywhere in the Achaemenid Empire and certainly not in Judah. In fact their power diminished during those 200 years. I also concluded, not that Eisenstadt was correct, but only that my data were insufficient to reject his model. However, my data were sufficient to reject the model of an Achaemenid Empire that was non-directive as well as the model of Persian authorization of local norms (Frei and Koch).”

Book Synopsis Melchizedek, King of Sodom by : Robert R. Cargill
Download or read book Melchizedek, King of Sodom written by Robert R. Cargill and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biblical figure Melchizedek appears just twice in the Hebrew Bible, and once more in the Christian New Testament. Cited as both the king of Shalem-understood by most scholars to be Jerusalem-and as an eternal priest without ancestry, Melchizedek's appearances become textual justification for tithing to the Levitical priests in Jerusalem and for the priesthood of Jesus Christ himself. But what if the text was manipulated? Robert R. Cargill explores the Hebrew and Greek texts concerning Melchizedek's encounter with Abraham in Genesis as a basis to unravel the biblical mystery of this character's origins. The textual evidence that Cargill presents shows that Melchizedek was originally known as the king of Sodom and that the later traditions about Sodom forced biblical scribes to invent a new location, Shalem, for Melchizedek's priesthood and reign. Cargill also identifies minor, strategic changes to the Hebrew Bible and the Samaritan Pentateuch that demonstrate an evolving, polemical, sectarian discourse between Jews and Samaritans competing for the superiority of their respective temples and holy mountains. The resulting literary evidence was used as the ideological motivation for identifying Shalem with Jerusalem in the Second Temple Jewish tradition. A brief study with far-reaching implications, Melchizedek, King of Sodom reopens discussion of not only this unusual character, but also the origins of both the priesthood of Christ and the role of early Israelite priest-kings.

Book excerpt: Ar, defeated, shamed, and systematically looted, is occupied by Cosian forces. Perhaps Marlenus of Ar alone, the great ubar, could remind the men of their Home Stone and its meaning. But it is thought that he perished in the Voltai. Young women from Earth brought to Gor are commonly taken to the markets to be branded, collared, and sold as the delicious, lovely livestock they are. Such is the case of a young woman whom we shall call Janice, for that was her Gorean slave name. In the prison pits of piratical Treve there exists a chained prisoner who believes himself to be of the Gorean peasantry. The nature and even the existence of this prisoner, strangely enough, is a closely guarded secret. In order to better keep this secret, it is decided that his servant and warder had best not be a native Gorean. Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. Witness of Gor is the 26th book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to the Biblical Theology of Hebrews The book of Hebrews can be intimidating for modern-day Christians due to its connection to Old Testament text. However, once understood, this New Testament epistle offers great insights into the superiority and sufficiency of Jesus—rightly justifying his place as high priest. In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, scholar Dennis E. Johnson highlights the main biblical-theological themes of Hebrews. Johnson explores how Jesus fulfills perfect priesthood by becoming the covenant mediator and the trailblazer who leads his people into a better inheritance. Hebrews calls Christian believers, both of the early church and today, to hold fast to their faith even when faced with persecution and exclusion. It reminds us to cling to the eternal Son who offered his body and blood as the everlasting sacrifice for our sin. Ideal for Anyone Wanting to Study the Bible More Deeply: Perfect for pastors, seminarians, college students, and laypeople Helpful Bible Study Resource: A great companion to commentaries on Hebrews Part of the New Testament Theology Series: Other volumes include Ministry in the New Realm and Hidden with Christ in God

Book Synopsis The Three Marks of Manhood by : G. C. Dilsaver
Download or read book The Three Marks of Manhood written by G. C. Dilsaver and published by TAN Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The noted Catholic psychologist Dr. G.C. Dilsaver writes that the time has come for Catholic families to re-discover true patriarchy--time for Catholic men to accept and fulfill their role as leader and head of their families. The role of Christian manhood, as ordained by God and confirmed by Catholic teaching, is symbolized by three staffs: the Scepter of authority and self-discipline, the Crosier of spiritual headship, and the Cross of redemptive suffering. Dr. Dilsaver promotes a new and untainted patriarchy in which the husband's ultimate authority is rooted in Christ's example of humility and self-sacrificing love. Three Marks of Manhood can help Christian families realize their identity to the fullest--empowering them to resist the encroachment of secular culture. Read it and learn how to build a strong and lasting marriage, raise children to become faithful men and women of God, and foster an authentic Catholic culture in your home. Dr. Dilsaver, with his development of the first fully integrated Christian psychology, Imago Dei Psychotherapy, is truly the father of Christian Psychology; with the publication of Three Marks of Manhood he may also be the father of a new Christian patriarchy.
