Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prejudiced, petulant, resentful, sulky: Jonah was not just a reluctant spokesman for God, he was also a disobedient one.

Book Synopsis The Books of Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah by : Leslie C. Allen
Download or read book The Books of Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah written by Leslie C. Allen and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eloquent and uncompromising calls for social righteousness by the Minor Prophets are familiar to many, yet the writings themselves are probably the least-studied and least-known texts of the Old Testament. Those who are familiar with these books are also aware of the historical and literary problems that plague their study. Drawing on theological, historical, and literary insights, Leslie Allen’s commentary on Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah carefully and imaginatively reconstructs the context in which the original Hebrew audience received the prophets’ messages. In turn, Allen shows what relevance they hold for contemporary Christians. For each of the books, Allen includes a substantial introduction, presenting and assessing a broad range of scholarship, a select bibliography, and an extensive commentary on the author’s own translation of the text. Allen pays special attention to Micah, in which he treats at greater length many of the forms and motifs that also appear in Joel, Obadiah, and Jonah. The introductory material for Joel includes discussions of canonicity and textual criticism that apply to the entire volume.

Book Synopsis The Prodigal Prophet by : Timothy Keller
Download or read book The Prodigal Prophet written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An angry prophet. A feared and loathsome enemy. A devastating storm. And the surprising message of a merciful God to his people. The story of Jonah is one of the most well-known parables in the Bible. It is also the most misunderstood. Many people, even those who are nonreligious, are familiar with Jonah: A rebellious prophet who defies God and is swallowed by a whale. But there's much more to Jonah's story than most of us realize. In The Prodigal Prophet, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller reveals the hidden depths within the book of Jonah. Keller makes the case that Jonah was one of the worst prophets in the entire Bible. And yet there are unmistakably clear connections between Jonah, the prodigal son, and Jesus. Jesus in fact saw himself in Jonah. How could one of the most defiant and disobedient prophets in the Bible be compared to Jesus? Jonah's journey also doesn't end when he is freed from the belly of the fish. There is an entire second half to his story--but it is left unresolved within the text of the Bible. Why does the book of Jonah end on what is essentially a cliffhanger? In these pages, Timothy Keller provides an answer to the extraordinary conclusion of this biblical parable--and shares the powerful Christian message at the heart of Jonah's story.

He outlines the principles of Bible study that will help you understand God’s Word, apply it, and communicate it clearly to those around you.

Book Synopsis The Book of Jonah by : Kefa Achenchi
Download or read book The Book of Jonah written by Kefa Achenchi and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-08 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probably you have heard testimonies of people who were so reluctant to do what God wanted them to do and even attempted to run away from God's presence only to find out that it was an exercise in futility and very much regrettable for one can't run away enough to escape the hand of God and the consequences could be painful to one.Jonah the prophet was such a man who tried hard to run away from God's presence and was reluctant to be sent on mission to the Ninevites. His attempt to run away only ended up in him being thrown into the sea and later in the belly of the great fish that God had prepared. We see him crying out to God for mercy and ready to do what was commissioned to him. God relented of the judgment that was to befall Nineveh and we see God's character of being a merciful and gracious God when His people turn away from sin unto Him."The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy" (Psalm 103:8)
Book Synopsis Defiant Prophets by : Hillel I. Millgram
Download or read book Defiant Prophets written by Hillel I. Millgram and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the tales of three remarkable figures of the biblical world: the tragic prophet Jeremiah, and the two atypical prophets Jonah and Balaam. Jeremiah was cursed from birth and condemned to a lifelong losing battle against national disaster. Jonah was notorious for his connection with a whale, whereas Balaam was best known as the owner of a talking donkey. Yet these prophets (servants of their deity) are portrayed as rebels against their god. This book contends that these tales, beyond their intrinsic appeal as stories, were written to serve as metaphors. Although set in ancient times and in the exotic Near East, the issues that underlie these gripping tales are not unfamiliar to modern times and Western lives. These prophets represent "everyman" and these unusual dramas explore the phenomenon of revolt against restrictive conditions and against authority.

Book Synopsis Dinosaurs and the Bible by : Brian Thomas
Download or read book Dinosaurs and the Bible written by Brian Thomas and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People of all ages are fascinated by dinosaurs. And they have a lot of questions about them too: When and where did dinosaurs live? Are they mentioned in the Bible? What does the fossil evidence tell us about dinosaurs? There are some people who say dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, long before humans. But if the Bible is correct when it talks about God's creation of the world and universe, then dinosaurs and people both lived on the earth at the same time. Dinosaurs and the Bible explores the historical, scriptural, and fossil evidence about dinosaurs, and shares what we can know after many years of thoughtful, careful research.
Book Synopsis Twelve Unlikely Heroes by : John F. MacArthur
Download or read book Twelve Unlikely Heroes written by John F. MacArthur and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kind of people does God use to accomplish His work? Far from the children’s tales depicted in picture books and nursery rhymes, the men and women highlighted in the Bible were unnervingly real. They faltered. They struggled. And at times, they fell short. Yet God worked through them in surprising and incredible ways to accomplish His purposes. Scripture does not hide their weaknesses, caricature their strengths, or spin their stories as a display of human nobility. Instead, it describes these heroes of the faith with unflinching honesty and delivers an unexpected ending: “God is not ashamed to be called their God” (Hebrews 11:16). In Twelve Unlikely Heroes, pastor and best-selling author John MacArthur uses his deep knowledge of the Bible and history to take us back to see these three-dimensional men and women in their own times and cultures. In doing so, it becomes clear how their dramatic stories apply to us today. People who might at first seem foreign quickly become familiar and unforgettable—particularly as they reveal the true Hero behind every witness, the power counterbalancing every weakness, “the Author and Finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1).
Book Synopsis A Gracious and Compassionate God by : Daniel C. Timmer
Download or read book A Gracious and Compassionate God written by Daniel C. Timmer and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2016-03-11 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Jonah is arguably just as jarring for us as it was for the ancients. Ninevah's repentance, Jonah's estrangement from God and the book's bracing moral conclusion all pose unsettling questions for today's readers. For biblical theologians, Jonah also raises tough questions regarding mission and religious conversion. Here, Daniel Timmer embarks on a new reading of Jonah in order to secure its ongoing relevance for biblical theology. After an examination of the book?s historical backgrounds (in both Israel and Assyria), Timmer discusses the biblical text in detail, paying special attention to redemptive history and its Christocentric orientation. Timmer then explores the relationship between Israel and the nations—including the question of mission—and the nature of religious conversion and spirituality in the Old Testament. This New Studies in Biblical Theology volume concludes with an injunction for scholars and lay readers to approach Jonah as a book written to facilitate spiritual change in the reader. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
