Download or read book Resurrecting the Brother of Jesus written by Ryan Byrne and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-11-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002 a burial box of skeletal remains purchased anonymously from the black market was identified as the ossuary of James, the brother of Jesus. Transformed by the media into a religious and historical relic overnight, the artifact made its way to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, where 100,000 people congregated to experience what had been prematurely and hyperbolically billed as the closest tactile connection to Jesus yet unearthed. Within a few months, however, the ossuary was revealed to be a forgery. Resurrecting the Brother of Jesus offers a critical evaluation of the popular and scholarly reception of the James Ossuary as it emerged from the dimness of the antiquities black market to become a Protestant relic in the media's custody. The volume brings together experts in Jewish archaeology, early Christianity, American religious history, and pilgrimage to explore the theory and practice couched in the debate about the object's authenticity. Contributors explore the ways in which the varying popular and scholarly responses to the ossuary phenomenon inform the presumption of religious meaning; how religious categories are created, vetted, and used for various purposes; and whether the history of pious frauds in America can help to illuminate this international episode. Resurrecting the Brother of Jesus also contributes to discussions about the construction of religious studies as an academic discipline and the role of scholars as public interpreters of discoveries with religious significance.

Book Synopsis Paul and Union with Christ by : Constantine R. Campbell
Download or read book Paul and Union with Christ written by Constantine R. Campbell and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul and Union with Christ fills the gap for biblical scholars, theologians, and pastors pondering and debating the meaning of union with Christ. Following a selective survey of the scholarly work on union with Christ through the twentieth century to the present day, Greek scholar Constantine Campbell carefully examines every occurrence of the phrases ‘in Christ’, ‘with Christ’, ‘through Christ’, ‘into Christ,’ and other related expressions, exegeting each passage in context and taking into account the unique lexical contribution of each Greek preposition. Campbell then builds a holistic portrayal of Paul’s thinking and engages contemporary theological discussions about union with Christ by employing his evidence-based understanding of the theme. This volume combines high-level scholarship and a concern for practical application of a topic currently debated in the academy and the church. More than a monograph, this book is a helpful reference tool for students, scholars, and pastors to consult its treatment of any particular instance of any phrase or metaphor that relates to union with Christ in the Pauline corpus.
Book Synopsis Resurrecting Jesus by : Dale C. Allison, Jr.
Download or read book Resurrecting Jesus written by Dale C. Allison, Jr. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-08-18 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus remains a popular figure in contemporary culture and Allison remains one of our best interpreters. He speaks around the country in a variety of venues on matters related to the study of the Historical Jesus. In his new book, he focuses on the historical Jesus and eschatology, concluding that the Jesus was not a Hellenistic wonder worker or teacher of pious morality but an apocalyptic prophet. In an opening chapter that is worth the price of admission, Allison astutely and engagingly captures the history of the search for the historical Jesus. He observes that many contemporary readings of Jesus shift the focus away from traditional theological, Christological, and eschatological concerns. In provocative fashion, He takes on not only the Jesus Seminar but also other Jesus interpreters such as N.T. Wright and Marcus Borg.

Book Synopsis Entering the Fray by : T. Michael W. Halcomb
Download or read book Entering the Fray written by T. Michael W. Halcomb and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern times the relationship between the church and academy has been strained and tension-filled. Mainstream church culture has often been skeptical of Bible scholars, depicting them as self-serving intellectuals trying to out-think God by devising new and controversial interpretations. Just as well, academics have often leveled harsh critiques against church culture, painting pastors and laity as anti-intellectual pseudo-spiritualists. Entering the Fray argues that, in spite of the wide gap between the academic and ecclesiastical worlds, the modern church should be aware of the key discussions taking place among biblical scholars. To be sure, the average churchgoer has not been tuned in to scholarly conversations concerning matters such as the Messianic Secret, Q, the Historical Jesus, the pistis Christou debate, and related topics. In fact, they may have purposefully tuned out! Some, however, are simply unaware that any such dialogue has taken place, and beyond the internet, may not have the first clue as to how to explore the details. This primer seeks to function as that "first clue" by helping congregants, pastors, and students of the Bible enter into the fray of scholarly discussions that, over the last few hundred years, have shaped both the academy and church.
Book Synopsis The Resurrection of Jesus by : Michael R. Licona
Download or read book The Resurrection of Jesus written by Michael R. Licona and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 725 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of the historicity of Jesus' resurrection has been repeatedly probed, investigated and debated. And the results have varied widely. Perhaps some now regard this issue as the burned-over district of New Testament scholarship. Could there be any new and promising approach to this problem? Yes, answers Michael Licona. And he convincingly points us to a significant deficiency in approaching this question: our historiographical orientation and practice. So he opens this study with an extensive consideration of historiography and the particular problem of investigating claims of miracles. This alone is a valuable contribution. But then Licona carefully applies his principles and methods to the question of Jesus' resurrection. In addition to determining and working from the most reliable sources and bedrock historical evidence, Licona critically weighs other prominent hypotheses. His own argument is a challenging and closely argued case for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ. Any future approaches to dealing with this "prize puzzle" of New Testament study will need to be routed through The Resurrection of Jesus.
Download or read book Resurrection written by Joseph Brice and published by Bcmg. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LIVE.... LIVE.... LIVE!!! Life is for the Living, so Live! Jesus shows up after the funeral and burial of Lazarus, where he finds Martha and Mary mourning over the death of their brother. Martha said to Jesus, "If you had been here, my brother would not have died. Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha said to Jesus, "I know my brother will rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said to her, "I AM The Resurrection, and The Life, he who believes in me though he were dead, yet will he live, and he who is alive and believes in me will never die." So, believe God while you are living. Show your beliefs by how you live. We should live our lives to live again. Know that it's not over when they do the eulogy. Why do we who know Christ weep as though we have no hope, and or as if we will never see our loved ones again who were believers? Of course, we cry and are sad, but as believers and followers of Christ, we have hope! The world has no hope. Jesus said, "I Am the Resurrection" he didn't say, he was going to be The Resurrection" so, why are we waiting to die to live? Do you believe there are Christians in the grave waiting on a trumpet as well as Jesus's return from heaven in order to live again? Resurrection is not an event, but a person! Jesus the Christ is the Resurrection! Those who died under the law (Old Testament) was taught they would go to paradise, and it's there that the Messiah would come to deliver them from the wicked and be set free and made worthy to go to heaven. Paradise was down, beneath the earth, not up, not in heaven. Jesus changed the game when he finished his work on earth. Things would never be the same again. Jesus the Christ defeated death, hell, and the grave, then went back up to the earth and entered his old dead body as the Resurrection! God's glory which is in the resurrection, glorified that fleshly body when he entered in and it became new and improved, a body without the curse from sin...having no limits. Jesus told his followers before he was executed that he would not leave them comfortless (meaning, you will not die and go to paradise waiting on the resurrection as an event to raise you from the dead.) You won't have to wait to see me after death, "I Am with you always." The introduction of a newly afforded kingdom right, is to be with the Lord immediately after death. Are they waiting in their graves for a trumpet or Jesus? As believers why are we looking up to the sky waiting on Jesus? The same Christ that was raised from the dead is alive and living in us! We are resurrected while we live. We have the resurrection living inside us. How can we have Christ in us and not the resurrection, when Jesus is the Resurrection? Jesus the Christ is the first to embody the new glorified body. When Jesus showed himself as the Resurrection, he was not even recognized by his own people. He walked through walls, sat down, and ate what his followers were eating and fellowshipped with them on several occasions. Included are my own personal experiences of leaving my physical body and going to a place only prepared by God. After my personal experiences, no one can ever convince me otherwise. My life has suffered because of what I witnessed and experienced. I've lost many relationships because people would rather believe the lies than the truth. Whether you believe or not, there is life after this life. Unfortunately, many do not have the opportunity to come back to tell it and even when they do, most people will not believe them. Heaven is Real! Life after death is REAL! So is RESURRECTION.
Book Synopsis Archaeology, Bible, Politics, and the Media by : Eric M. Meyers
Download or read book Archaeology, Bible, Politics, and the Media written by Eric M. Meyers and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological discoveries relating to the Bible are prominent in the public square. Even archaeological controversies normally confined to the pages of obscure journals are considered newsworthy when they touch on biblical themes, people, or places. However, scholars are not always equipped to handle this sort of attention. Thus, the conference published in this book was organized to bring scholars into conversation with representatives of the media and to help them become better prepared to address the general public. Participants included the print media and the visual media as well as academics. The relation between archaeological controversies and Middle East politics emerged as a fraught subject in several essays, with the situation of the City of David in Jerusalem as a case in point. Other essays consider looting in Iraq and in other regions in the Middle East and highlight the legal and moral issues involved—for when legal norms recognized in international law and archaeological standards are violated, chaos reigns. This volume opens a dialogue between scholars and the media, providing both with perspectives that will enable them to become better at communicating what they do to a wide audience. And it offers lay communities who learn about archaeology and the Bible through the popular media information that will make them more sensitive to the way discoveries and issues are presented.
