Book Synopsis Steward of God's Mysteries by : Jerry L. Sumney
Download or read book Steward of God's Mysteries written by Jerry L. Sumney and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One view that perennially springs up among biblical scholars is that Paul was the inventor of Christianity, or that Paul introduced the idea of a divine Christ to a church that earlier had simply followed the ethical teaching of a human Jesus. In this book Jerry Sumney responds to that claim by examining how, in reality, Paul drew on what the church already believed and confessed about Jesus. As he explores how Paul's theology relates to that of the broader early church, Sumney identifies where in the Christian tradition distinctive theological claims about Christ, his death, the nature of salvation, and eschatology first seem to appear. Without diminishing significant differences, Sumney describes what common traditions and beliefs various branches of the early church shared and compares them to Paul's thought. Sumney interacts directly with arguments made by those who claim Paul as the inventor of Christianity and approaches the questions raised by that claim in a fresh way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steward of God's Mysteries is about God's power in my life to prophesy the true events, dreams, ghosts, visions, aliens, and reality throughout the world. He has chosen me to see the wonders of heaven and signs beneath and on the earth. Call it a sixth sense or possessing an unnatural power, but whatever it is, it's a continuous and constant ability to see, hear, and experience the supernatural. Often I wonder, why me? Why was I chosen to see family and events of the future? Why was I chosen at all to see the Holy Ghost? Why was I abducted? Is it because others think I am kind or funny or a good subject to experiment on? Some say I am a medium, some show much ridicule, saying even more, and still I pray to not know what I know out of fear. I wrote this book to release the fear I hold from the God-given abilities he has bestowed upon me throughout my lifetime, as it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Lord Jesus. But it is a dangerous thing to fall out of the hands of the Lord. My true testimonies throughout this book were for my own private release until somehow I have been led to publicize this information. Hopefully, others will read these truths and come closer to God knowing that he is real and he is working in people's lives. God willing, he has shown all these mysterious things to me for his meaningful reasons, and I give God all the glory! Through these trying times with COVID and massive storms, the only choice to find peace is through Jesus Christ, the true Son of God and the Holy Ghost! All I have made known in this book is true, and I say that upon my death in the flesh, as our spirit lives forever and we all "must pay for what we do!"

Book Synopsis Steward of God's Mysteries in Seasons of Grace by : Timothy S. Pollock
Download or read book Steward of God's Mysteries in Seasons of Grace written by Timothy S. Pollock and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-10 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: i This is a story about Jean Fletcher, a spiritual icon to those who have come to know her personally. From the moment she makes contact something touches you deep inside. Immersed in Life, Jean shines forth lightenment through nature and experience. She is portrayed through the eyes of a deeply religious and judgmental - yet, impressionable young man Tim. As the story unfolds, both lives intertwine, leaving each changed and Tim's life turned outside in, by connecting "observable events" to their hidden internal reality. The omniscient God, by His transforming power awakens young Tim to the "newness" of his knowing. Beginning on page one, Jean accepts confirmation of her ministerial commission. Tim enters the scene taking the reader into his cold, ritualistic world, crowned by Christian tradition. His church going friend (Darlene) brings Tim to Jean's home where the two first meet. Tim immediately connects to their eternal union "It was almost as though we were being reunited in a relationship that went as far as the beginning of time." The youthful Tim impressed and intrigued by Jean's zeal and spiritual posture presses for the tale of her life. Speaking in a soft-spoken voice of authority, Tim listens for hours to one "as though she had been personally trained by the Master Himself." With a pierced mind, he hears "Truth Is the learning to identify with that, which is Within You, rather than that which is without." ii In one day, one meeting, in one seemingly motionless eternal moment, destiny places Tim on the threshold of Life in Spirit, contrasted by the road of his traditional beliefs. Days and weeks pass; unsure of the journey he knows he must take; Tim searches the scriptures, listening to that still, soft, subtle voice, asking God for guidance and understanding. He begins to challenge the doctrines of men. It's spring of the same year, and "change is eminent." Fearless and partially free, Tim arrives at Jean's to find her toiling in her garden. "Spring is a time for weed pulling, but the uprooted plants were not weeds. There is life in these bulbs unless the bulb is planted in the earth, in the darkness, and covered over it could not fulfill its purpose in Being the entire process of nature all part of a more perfect order." Relocating to the house, Jean shares more after surviving a cup of Tim's soapy coffee. She tells him of how "God is Divine Order," and "every man" has a walk out of darkness back to God. NONE are excluded! By chapter three, Tim is "letting go" of his traditions - the mind's illusions, inhaling the reality of life in Spirit. He experiences the realm of "knowing" to a place Jean calls "beyond the beyond." The natural mind will never comprehend the real "Truths of Spirit," mysteries secrets hidden deep within God delivered by grace to His chosen stewards. The "seasons of grace" change their color as Tim leaves his spiritual mother, and the close relationship he has, so embraced. "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground iii and die, it abides alone. The understanding of divided self needed to be fully realized." Only after years of much needed pruning would the purpose of their separation come to light. Tim plunges head first into blissful, wedded joy. Unfortunately, within a few short years his marriage crumbles, and the fall leaves him feeling lost and bewildered "searching for answers I thought I once owned." Jean's expression, "being ground to powder," rattles around in Tim's distant memory. Riddled with quilt and full of shame, Tim, radically, relocates to the home where he grew up. In Pittsburgh, he takes the time "for solemn self-examination," to try somehow to begin again. Jean and Tim reunite. Transitioning from the night back into the ever-forgiving light, Tim experiences Jean's compa
Book Synopsis Life-Study of First Corinthians by : Witness Lee
Download or read book Life-Study of First Corinthians written by Witness Lee and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on 1984-05-01 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Lord’s recovery during the past five hundred years the church’s knowledge of the Lord and His truth has been continually progressing. This monumental and classical work by Brother Witness Lee builds upon and is a further development of all that the Lord has revealed to His church in the past centuries. It is filled with the revelation concerning the processed Triune God, the living Christ, the life-giving Spirit, the experience of life, and the definition and practice of the church. In this set Brother Lee has kept three basic principles that should rule and govern every believer in their interpretation, development, and expounding of the truths contained in the Scriptures. The first principle is that of the Triune God dispensing Himself into His chosen and redeemed people; the second principle is that we should interpret, develop, and expound the truths contained in the Bible with Christ for the church; and the third governing principle is Christ, the Spirit, life, and the church. No other study or exposition of the New Testament conveys the life nourishment or ushers the reader into the divine revelation of God’s holy Word according to His New Testament economy as this one does.

Book Synopsis Introducing the Practice of Ministry by : Kathleen A. Cahalan
Download or read book Introducing the Practice of Ministry written by Kathleen A. Cahalan and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ministry is often examined in terms of who the minister is, not what the minister does. But the vocation to ministry must be understood as a call to identity as well as to practice, one that is rooted in Jesus' life and ministry as well as the Spirit's charisms. InIntroducing the Practice of Ministry Kathleen A.Cahalan defines ministerial leadership as carried out through the practices of teaching, preaching, pastoral care, worship, social ministry, and administration for the sake of nurturing the life of discipleship in the community of believers. In her examination of charisms for each of the practices of ministry, Cahalan presents readers with a Trinitarian foundation, noting that the practices of discipleship and ministry have their origin in the very practices of God." Kathleen A. Cahalan is associate professor of theology at Saint John's University School of Theology, Seminary in Collegeville, Minnesota. She is author of Formed in the Image of Christ: The Sacramental-Moral Theology of Bernard Häring (Liturgical Press, 2004) and Projects That Matter: Successful Planning and Evaluation for Religious Organizations (Alban Institute, 2003). She is the past-president of the Association of Practical Theology. "

Book Synopsis Revelation and Mystery in Ancient Judaism and Pauline Christianity by : Markus Bockmuehl
Download or read book Revelation and Mystery in Ancient Judaism and Pauline Christianity written by Markus Bockmuehl and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The theme of revealed heavenly mysteries was a commonplace in Judaism, from which it passed on to Christianity. Markus Bockmuehl outlines how this theme developed, by showing where ideas of revelation and mystery coalesce. . . . An interesting and very thorough study."--Journal of Biblical Literature"A thoughtful and illuminating study of a subject which, rather surprisingly in the light of its centrality to the question of Christian origins, has not hitherto been investigated in detail. Whereas both 'revelation' and 'mystery' have been studied separately in the context of early Jewish and Christian literature, Bockmuehl's original contribution is to examine the interconnectedness of the two ideas."--Journal of Jewish Studies"This book is an excellent contribution to biblical scholarship. It synthesizes the light that a biblically based mystery sheds on revelation and revelation sheds on mystery. . . . Bockmuehl treats admirably many difficult passages and scholarly disputes. . . . He develops the progress of biblical understanding regarding revelation and mystery, carefully balancing analysis with synthesis--a talent that is somewhat rare of late." --Journal of Ecumenical Studies"A most useful study. . . . Bockmuehl has brought together material from an enormously wide range of primary and secondary literature, for which we are greatly in his debt." --Journal of Theological Studies"For single authors like Philo, Josephus, and especially Paul, Bockmuehl's studies significantly add to the discussion." --Religious Studies Review"Bockmuehl examines the concepts of revelation and mystery, not as distinct entities, but in their theological interplay: the revelation of heavenly mysteries. . . . This book's breadth and depth will repay the attentive reader." --Journal for the Study of the New Testament
Book Synopsis Stepping Stones of the Steward by : Ronald E. Vallet
Download or read book Stepping Stones of the Steward written by Ronald E. Vallet and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Taking the images of "journey" and "steward" as metaphors for the Christian's life, and using parables of Jesus found in Matthew and Luke, Ronald Vallet helps focus a truly biblical understanding of the term steward and the role of believers as earthly caretakers, neighbors, and responsible servants of God. Written to inform and encourage pastors and laypersons who seek to explore new dimensions in their Christian journey, Vallet's inspirational study teaches Christians how to gain a sense of purpose, how to properly use their resources, talents, and money, and how to reach out with compassion for the welfare of others and for the planet. This revised and enlarged edition includes important new discussions in the areas of faith and money and environmental issues. M. Douglas Meeks has written the foreword, and a new epilogue by Vallet explores the mission funding crisis of the church in North America, the changing views on both the church and its mission, and the important role played by theological education. Thought-provoking questions and suggestions for further reflection follow each chapter, and a study guide outlines ways to adapt this volume to adult and youth church and school classes, planning groups, conferences, and small-group settings.
Book Synopsis Paul as an Administrator of God in 1 Corinthians: by : John Goodrich
Download or read book Paul as an Administrator of God in 1 Corinthians: written by John Goodrich and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks in detail at Paul's description of apostles in 1 Corinthians 4 and 9 as divinely appointed administrators (oikonomoi) and considers what this tells us about the nature of his own apostolic authority. John Goodrich investigates the origin of this metaphor in light of ancient regal, municipal and private administration, initially examining the numerous domains in which oikonomoi were appointed in the Graeco-Roman world, before situating the image in the private commercial context of Roman Corinth. Examining the social and structural connotations attached to private commercial administration, Goodrich contemplates what Paul's metaphor indicates about apostleship in general terms as well as how he uses the image to defend his apostolic rights. He also analyses the purpose and limits of Paul's authority - how it is constructed, asserted and contested - by examining when and how Paul uses and refuses to exercise the rights inherent in his position.

Book Synopsis Fulfilled in Christ: The Sacraments. A Guide to Symbols and Types in the Bible and Tradition by : Fr. Devin Roza
Download or read book Fulfilled in Christ: The Sacraments. A Guide to Symbols and Types in the Bible and Tradition written by Fr. Devin Roza and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Early Church read the Scriptures with the conviction that (in the words of St. Augustine), “The New Testament lies hidden in the Old and the Old Testament is unveiled in the New.” Drawing inspiration from how both the Apostles and Christ himself read the Old Covenant as referring to the New (cf. Luke 24:27, 1 Peter 3:20–21, 1 Corinthians 10:1–5), the Church found the Old Testament to be rich with figures, or “types,” that foreshadowed both the mysteries of the life of Christ and the mysteries, or sacraments, of the New Covenant. And yet, in modern times the study of types (or “typology”) has been largely abandoned by scholars due to the dangers of subjectivity and exaggeration. How can typology be studied in a way that is objective and that avoids the excesses present in the past? Fr. Devin Roza seeks to offer a solution to these difficulties by asking the question, “According to the Scriptures and the living Tradition of the Church, what are the types and symbols of the sacraments and what do they mean?” As authorized representatives of the living Tradition, the Liturgy (including the readings from the Church Fathers) and the Catechism, together with the Scriptures, offer both the scholar and pastor the opportunity to study typology as the Catholic Church herself understands and prays it today, in those texts the Church considers her own. Fulfilled in Christ thus offers a comprehensive and readable summary of references to types and symbols of the sacraments in the Scriptures and the living Tradition of the Church, as represented by the Liturgy and the Catechism. The result is a highly objective, scholarly, and at the same time pastoral study of how the Church understands and lives the types and symbols of the sacraments today.
