Book Synopsis Reflections on Biblical Themes by an Octogenarian by : Reuben J. Swanson
Download or read book Reflections on Biblical Themes by an Octogenarian written by Reuben J. Swanson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections on Biblical Themes by an Octogenarian represents the journey into faith by the author of the essays over the span of sixty years in the pastoral ministry and as a professor on college, university, and theological school levels. There has been a continuing growth in understanding from the beginnings of a rather conservative religious background and training to a more mature appreciation and understanding of life. This growth came about through the interchange in the classroom as a student in preparation for ministry, then as a pastor in the everyday work experience and interchange with parishioners and especially in the interchange with students in the classroom. This more mature understanding and growth is reflected in the essays presented in this volume on various themes as listed in the Table of Contents. It is hoped that they will be of value to lay persons and to professionals in the life of the church and in the academic world, and that they will stimulate thought and discussion in parishes and in institutions of higher learning. Some of the viewpoints may seem to be controversial, but how are we to grow intellectually and spiritually unless we wrestle seriously with the deep and profound questions of our faith and life? These reflections are offered with the hope and prayer that they will stimulate discussion and growth in the life of the church in both parish and academic settings.

Book Synopsis The Grace of Christ, Third Edition by : Eric Roessing
Download or read book The Grace of Christ, Third Edition written by Eric Roessing and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to communicate as clearly as possible Paul’s gospel of God in its depth, from what I have learned over five decades of studying Paul’s letters and theology. But, regardless of how much I have gained from teachers past and present, the bottom line is that “the things freely given us by God” in Paul’s gospel can only be known by the Spirit of God, through comparing Paul’s Spirit-taught words with Spirit-taught words (1 Cor 2:12–13). Luther’s grasp of how justification in Christ—and thus faith in Christ—is central, is verified by what Paul says in Rom 1:16–17; that in the gospel, God’s saving righteousness is revealed, from Christ’s faith to our faith. The message of this book can be summed up as follows: The life of the person in Christ is to be one of trust in Christ for righteousness before God, and, through that faith, obedience to Christ as Lord. This life is possible because Christ believers have died with Christ to the lordship of the Sin and the law, and are alive to God in Christ Jesus—owned by him as Lord, being one spirit with him.

Our later years are not meant to be spent regretting what we can no longer do, but rejoicing in what we do still get to do by God's grace and favor, which we perhaps were not able to do in other stages of our lives. The later years of life continue to have the capacity to be vibrant and fulfilling as we faithfully serve the Lord.

Through these devotions, the reader is encouraged to live life to the fullest in whatever way God has designed that life to be in the unique situations and experiences in which older adults find themselves. Suggested activities or thoughts to ponder based on the themes of each day's devotion are included to provide inspiration for application of faith into daily living in small but meaningful ways. And each devotion ends with suggested Scripture readings to help the reader dig deeper in the Word to be strengthened and sustained throughout the day.Here is a collection of some of the most beloved devotions from our quarterly publication, Hope-Full Living, for every day of the year. Written by older adults for older adults, this large print edition of reflections is specially designed to encourage, inspire and engage those living out their faith in their later years. God desires that his faithful have a life that is enriched by him, and it is my prayer that these devotions enrich you in your faith and service to the Lord. Enjoy each of these moments with God as you are filled full with hope in Christ each day of life that he grants to you. Rich Bimler, Honorary Editor, Hope-Full Living

This book was released on 2003-01-16 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the scope and breadth of religious organizations in social work practice. It begins by tracing the origins of the social work profession back to the earliest civilizations and their religious traditions, establishing the precedent for a fruitful commingling of religion and social welfare.

A 12-step model for religious organizations to use to develop community action programs is also presented.

Book Synopsis Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome by : R. Kent Hughes
Download or read book Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome written by R. Kent Hughes and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008-01-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.

Book Synopsis Narrative Desire and the Book of Ruth by : Stephanie Day Powell
Download or read book Narrative Desire and the Book of Ruth written by Stephanie Day Powell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephanie Day Powell illuminates the myriad forms of persuasion, inducement, discontent, and heartbreak experienced by readers of Ruth. Writing from a lesbian perspective, Powell draws upon biblical scholarship, contemporary film and literature, narrative studies, feminist and queer theories, trauma studies and psychoanalytic theory to trace the workings of desire that produced the book of Ruth and shaped its history of reception. Wrestling with the arguments for and against reading Ruth as a love story between women, Powell gleans new insights into the ancient world in which Ruth was written. Ruth is known as a tale of two courageous women, the Moabite Ruth and her Israelite mother-in-law Naomi. As widows with scarce means of financial or social support, Ruth and Naomi are forced to creatively subvert the economic and legal systems of their day in order to survive. Through exceptional acts of loyalty, they, along with their kinsman Boaz, re-establish the bonds of family and community, while preserving the line of Israel's great king David. Yet for many, the story of Ruth is deeply dissatisfying. Scholars increasingly recognize how Ruth's textual “gaps” and ambiguities render conventional interpretations of the book's meaning and purpose uncertain. Feminist and queer interpreters question the appropriation of a woman's story to uphold patriarchal institutions and heteronormative values. Such avenues of inquiry lend themselves to questions of narrative desire, that is, the study of how stories frame our desires and how our own complex longings affect the way we read.
