Book Synopsis Healing in the Gospel of Matthew by : Walter T. Wilson
Download or read book Healing in the Gospel of Matthew written by Walter T. Wilson and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Wilson adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the healing narratives in the Gospel of Matthew, combining the familiar methods of form, redaction, and narrative criticisms with insights culled from medical anthropology, feminist theory, disability studies, and ancient archaeology to understand the New Testament's longest and most systematic account of healing, Matthew chapters 8 and 9. Close exegetical readings culminate in a final synthesis of Matthew's understanding of healing, how Matthew's narratives of healing expose the distinctive priorities of the evangelist, and how these priorities relate to the theology of the Gospel.
Book Synopsis Who Is Jesus Christ? Unlocking the Mystery in the Gospel of Matthew by : Eric Sammons
Download or read book Who Is Jesus Christ? Unlocking the Mystery in the Gospel of Matthew written by Eric Sammons and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2010-09-22 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who do you say that I am?" Christ's contemporaries ascribed many names and titles to Him, as we see recorded in the New Testament. Each one tells us something different about who Jesus is. In this book, Eric Sammons frames a series of thoughtful reflections on the names of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew with references from the Church Fathers, saints, and Doctors of the Church. He "translates" the depth of the mystery of the Faith so you can discover new dimensions of the person of Christ and new ways to recognize and welcome Him into your life. "This volume exemplifies what the world Synod of Bishops recently called for: sound biblical resources that help people encounter Christ, the Word made flesh, in the reading of Scripture." -- Mary Healy, Ph.D., General Editor, Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture "Eric Sammons knows how to cut to the chase with grace and aplomb. Who Is Jesus Christ? is the most important question that has ever been asked in the history of the human race and he ably helps us answer it -- and all the deepest longings of the human heart -- through the Christ he serves so well." -- Mark P. Shea, Author, Mary: Mother of the Son "Drawing on his own faith journey and his personal experience, Eric Sammons demonstrates how the lived Word of God -- reflected in the lives and writings of the saints and prayers of the Church -- can help us to better know Jesus and to strive to form our daily lives into his likeness. Who Is Jesus Christ? is a work of devotion and readers should find it both inspiring and encouraging." -- Most Reverend Donald W. Wuerl, S.T.D., Archbishop of Washington "Those who read this book will be richly rewarded as they seek to encounter the Lord in Matthew's Gospel." -- Father Giles R. Dimock, O.P., S.T.D., Prior, Dominican House of Studies

Book Synopsis Behold the Christ: Proclaiming the Gospel of Matthew by : Leroy A. Huizenga
Download or read book Behold the Christ: Proclaiming the Gospel of Matthew written by Leroy A. Huizenga and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behold the Christ: Proclaiming the Gospel of Matthew, by Leroy A. Huizenga, reveals the significance of St. Matthew’s Jesus: He is Emmanuel, God with us always, who saves his people from their sins by dying for them. In showing how Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament, gave us a way to live, and taught us how to follow the narrow way to the kingdom of heaven, St. Matthew modeled the fourfold way of reading Scripture according to letter and spirit. Above all, St. Matthew’s Gospel presents Jesus Christ founding the Catholic Church as a robust, rigorous religion with rich rituals, chiefly the sacrificial Eucharist as sustenance on the narrow way to heaven. Jesus demands much of his Church, but the same Jesus who commands his Church also promises and delivers much—above all, himself. Keyed to the lectionary and featuring a section on the relevance of St. Matthew’s Gospel for our contemporary age, Behold the Christ will make the Gospel and indeed the Faith real to today’s readers.

Book Synopsis Reflections on the Gospel of Matthew by : Chinedu Oranye
Download or read book Reflections on the Gospel of Matthew written by Chinedu Oranye and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinedu Oranye's Reflections on the Gospel of Matthew is a treasure-trove of devotional meditation that deserves wide dissemination. Moving through the entire gospel almost verse-by-verse, we are invited into 415 separate meditations, each of which deserves to stand alone as a basis for daily reflection and deeper prayer. Like all good devotional literature, we are invited to pause and deeply reflect. We find ourselves loathe to turn the page until we have personally dealt with the issues that are raised. We sense that we must offer the prayers that ensure that we have not listened in vain. Each meditation begins with a direct quotation from Matthew's gospel, and is then followed by commentary usually not more than 150 words in length. Through the commentary, we continually sense the depth of devotion of the author, yet combined with a humble simplicity that lets us know he is a fellow pilgrim, just as we ourselves. He uses simple, uncomplicated sentences, and refuses to indulge in distracting speculations (e.g., "Not all of destiny can be understood," he notes). On virtually every page, we are given profound truths couched with an economy of words. No doubt a long list of frameable aphorisms can and perhaps should be drawn out for deeper meditation: *"Following Jesus does not stop the storms." *"Experiencing peace does not mean being idle in the midst of the madness around us." *"It is not cowardice to know when to flee." *"Do not end your day's journey with all the hustle and bustle of the day." *"I cannot live unless I learn to die." *"Satan wants to keep us bound in the poison of everlasting guilt, leading eventually to our destruction." *"Jesus is not satisfied with worship that is not accompanied by the surrendered life." The examples are virtually endless. Very few pages do not contain repeatable morsels that can with great profit be carried through the day, along with relevant scriptures and prayers. No doubt, those who have known Chinedu Oranye personally will be the most inclined to quickly grab this fresh publication for their personal profit. That says much about the character of the author, who is known for his passion for Christ, his love for the lost, and especially his heart for world-wide missions. Yet without hesitation, I commend this devotional book to anyone who wants to draw closer to God and to be challenged to Christ-like living. Rev. Dr. Gary MaxeyFounder, West Africa Theological Seminary (WATS)Senior Pastor, New Beginnings International Church

Book Synopsis Reflections on Jesus and Socrates by : Paul W. Gooch
Download or read book Reflections on Jesus and Socrates written by Paul W. Gooch and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living more than four centuries apart in very different cultures, Jesus and Socrates wrote nothing themselves, but they inspired their followers to set down words that continue to shape Western consciousness. In this deeply personal and provocative meditation, Paul Gooch reflects on enduring themes that arise from the lives of these two pivotal figures: death and witness, silence as the limit of language, prayer, obedience, and love. Focusing on the Jesus of the Gospels and the Socrates of Plato's dialogues, Gooch does not debate the historical realities of either figure, but seeks to understand their fundamental commitments to philosophy and to God, drawing parallels and contrasts that invite deeper reflection upon our own lives and experiences. Throughout this book, Gooch tells and retells the stories of Socrates and Jesus as he examines perennial human issues: why would anyone willingly die? To what do these two martyrlike deaths bear witness? What are the limits of words in explanation and defense? Why was Jesus silent during his trial? Why did Socrates' most powerful apologia fail? What words, if any, work in prayer? Do words work against the fear of death? Out of this philosophical and religious questioning, Reflections on Jesus and Socrates throws new light on these two compelling figures and on the continuing meanings of their stories for us today.

Book Synopsis The Gospel of the Son of God by : David R. Bauer
Download or read book The Gospel of the Son of God written by David R. Bauer and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From beginning to end, the very structure of the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes that Jesus is the Son of God. At climactic points Jesus is so identified—by Peter, by a Roman centurion, by Jesus himself, and by God the Father. With The Gospel of the Son of God, David Bauer provides a comprehensive introduction to this Gospel that has been so foundational to the Christian church. Arguing that the nature of Matthew itself should provide us with the framework for its study, he presents a holistic inductive approach with a literary, theological, and canonical focus. In the first section on orientation, Bauer explores issues of genre, interpretive methods, authorship, audience, and literary structure. Then he moves to interpretation, guiding readers through the meaning of sections of the text. Finally, the reflection section synthesizes and develops major theological themes emerging from the interpretation, including Christology, salvation history, eschatology, and discipleship. While providing a sound basis for the study of Matthew, Bauer goes beyond typical introductory issues to draw out the rich theological vision of the Gospel. His careful scholarship and clear exposition will make this a valuable resource for college and seminary students and pastors.

Book Synopsis The Gospel of Matthew by : J. C. Ryle
Download or read book The Gospel of Matthew written by J. C. Ryle and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Charles Ryle was an evangelical Anglican clergyman and first Bishop of Liverpool. He was renowned for his powerful preaching and extensive tracts. In The Gospel of Matthew Ryle delves into the gospel of Matthew giving insight and commentary on this important book of the New Testament. "Let us thank God daily for giving us the Scriptures. The poorest Englishman who understands his Bible, knows more about religion than the wisest philosophers of Greece and Rome. "Let us remember our deep responsibility. We shall all be judged at the last day according to our light. To whomsoever much is given, of them much will be required. "Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them. It is no light matter how we use this book. Eternal life or death depends on the spirit in which it is used. "Above all let us humbly pray for the teaching of the Holy Spirit. He alone can apply truth to our hearts, and make us profit by what we read. "The New Testament begins with the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. No part of the Bible is so important as this, and no part is so full and complete. Four distinct Gospels tell us the story of Christ's doing and dying. Four times over we read the precious account of His works and words. How thankful we ought to be for this! To know Christ is life eternal. To believe in Christ is to have peace with God. To follow Christ is to be a true Christian. To be with Christ will be heaven itself. We can never hear too much about Jesus Christ."
