Book Synopsis Scripture in Transition by : Anssi Voitila
Download or read book Scripture in Transition written by Anssi Voitila and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 797 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Altogether 46 essays in honour of Professor Raija Sollamo contribute to explore various aspects of the rich textual material around the turn of the era. At that time Scripture was not yet fixed; various writings and collections of writings were considered authoritative but their form was more or less in transition. The appearance of the first biblical translations are part of this transitional process. The Septuagint in particular provides us evidence and concrete examples of those textual traditions and interpretations that were in use in various communities. Furthermore, several biblical concepts, themes and writings were reinterpreted and actualised in the Dead Sea Scrolls, illuminating the transitions that took place in one faction of Judaism. The topics of the contributions are divided into five parts: Translation and Interpretation; Textual History; Hebrew and Greek Linguistics; Dead Sea Scrolls; Present-Day.

Book Synopsis The Word of God in Transition by : William M. Schniedewind
Download or read book The Word of God in Transition written by William M. Schniedewind and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chronicler distinguishes between "traditional prophets" and "inspired messengers," and thereby highlights a radical transition in the meaning of the "word of God" which takes place in the post-exilic period. The Chronicler summarizes his perspective in 2 Chron. 36.16, saying that Israel rejected "his prophets," "the messengers of God," and "his word" (i.e. Torah). This distinction is reflected in the forms and functions of prophetic speech in the books of Chronicles. Thus, the prophets speak to the king, and the inspired messengers (e.g. priests, levites) speak to the people. The prophets interpret narrative events for the king; they explain how God acts. The inspired messengers exhort the people, admonishing them how they should act. The prophets' speeches usually do not use any kind of inspiration formula, but the inspired messengers' speeches are prefaced with possession formulas. These possession formulas are not typical of classical prophecy and mark the rise of a new kind of prophecy, namely, the inspired interpretation of texts. These inspired messengers are thus forerunners of the inspired interpreters of scripture in Qumran, early Christianity and Judaism.>
Download or read book The Land Between written by Jeff Manion and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2010 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOR DISTRIBUTION OUTSIDE THE USA. In The Land Between, author Jeff Manion uses the biblical story of the Israelite's journey through Sinai desert as a metaphor for being in undesired, transitional space. After enduring generations of slavery in Egypt, the descendants of Jacob travel through the desert (the land between) toward their new home in Canaan. They crave the food of their former home in Egypt and despise their present environment. They are unable to go back and incapable of moving forward. The Land Between explores the way in which their reactions can provide insight and guidance on how to respond to God during our own seasons of difficult transition. The book provides fresh biblical insight for people traveling through undesired transitions (e.g. foreclosure, unemployment, parents in declining health, post-graduate uncertainty, business failure, etc.) who are looking for hope, guidance, and encouragement. While it is possible to move through transitions and learn little, they provide our greatest opportunity for spiritual growth. God desires to meet us in our chaos and emotional upheaval, and he intends for us to encounter his goodness and provision during these upsetting seasons.

Download or read book Transition written by Luther Allgood and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition, Deathbed's Compelling Evidence of Life After Death is the real-life experiences of dying patients, primarily in a hospice setting. These experiences are measured for accuracy through the scientific method. Most importantly, these experiences are validated by biblical information. Information and events which fail testing against biblical standards are not considered evidence of eternal life. The result is a fascinating, life-changing book, presenting these facts: There is life after death, and there are only two destination choices; life in heaven through Jesus, or life in hell apart from Jesus. The author urges you to choose wisely.

Download or read book Transition written by Cornelius Williams and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Father Jacob gathered the material to make Joseph a coat of many colors, he knew just what he needed to get the coat completed. He shirred a beautiful white lamb and carefully combed and curried all the burs and thistles from the fine wool he had taken from the lamb. Little did he know that the coat he was to make for Joseph, his dear son, would stir such a stink with his brothers and separate Joseph from the family. Joseph was a great man who had learned to foretell dreams. He had told Pharaoh what his dream meant, thus saving the great land of Egypt from seven years of famine, to be sent from God Almighty. Because of this, Joseph was made Governor of Egypt while Pharaoh was Ruler. Joseph's brothers did bow down to him and ask forgiveness for the great wrong they had done to him when they sold him to a band of traders, who also sold spices and other goods which they gathered mostly by dishonest deeds. The band of traders took Joseph to Egypt and sold him as a slave. God was with Joseph, and this act of evil done to him by his brothers, was changed to good. Joseph was able to save his family from starvation by providing them grain for sustenance during the famine throughout the land. Later, Joseph brought them to Egypt to live with him

Download or read book The James Code written by O. S. Hawkins and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The James Code helps believers go from knowing about God to living for God. Bestselling author of The Joshua Code and The Jesus Code, O.S. Hawkins is back with a new book that is all about putting your faith into action. The James Code is practical, personal and action-packed straight from one of the most popular books of the Bible. Once readers have devoted themselves to Scripture memory in The Joshua Code, and have equipped themselves to give answers in The Jesus Code, The James Code challenges readers to give feet to their faith. Hawkins gives applicable truth from the book of James emphasizing that an effective Christian life is not about faith and works, but is about faith that works. As with The Joshua Code and The Jesus Code, all royalties will go to Mission:Dignity, whose mission supports retired pastors and their wives or widows who have faithfully served God’s people and now find themselves struggling to meet even basic needs.
