Download or read book Testimony of Luke written by Kent Brown and published by Brigham Young University Studies. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 1213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enthroned above all creation towers the exalted, glorified Christ. Descending into the darknest recesses of human agony and sin reaches the warm, caring Jesus. These two are the same person. Luke's testimony introduces us to this man become God-God the Son. He comes into our world already bearing a divine nature, already carrying divine qualities. His birth is a miracle; he is "Christ the Lord" (Luke 2:11) The most distinguishing element of this line-by-line, word-by-word commentary is its use of Latter-day Saint scriptures-the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price-to illuminate Luke's Gospel. For example, important LDS doctrines arise from Jesus' activity in the spirit world immediately after his death. More than all other Gospel accounts, Luke captures the compassion and love of the Savior. Such sweet concern manifests itself particularly for the downtrodden and those forced to the margins of society. Within his text, Luke discloses the deep, divine
Book Synopsis The Testimony of Luke: 1907 Biblical study notes on the Gospel of Luke by : George N. H. Peters
Download or read book The Testimony of Luke: 1907 Biblical study notes on the Gospel of Luke written by George N. H. Peters and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once described as “the most exhaustive treatise on the ‘Kingdom of God’ ever written, the late Rev. George N. H. Peters, the author of “The Theocratic Kingdom,” left many unpublished personal bible studies. These recently discovered handwritten documents are now being meticulously transcribed and prepared for publication. What makes these 100 year old studies unique is the straightforward grammatical viewpoint taken by Rev Peters towards interpretation, that the language of the Bible does not require spiritualization or mysticism to be understood, that such unjustified additions actually confuse and mislead the reader. The application of these practical Rules of Interpretation, as seen in the recently published “Testimony of Jesus” and “Testimony of John,” gives the Gospel of Luke a clear, fresh new voice given from the viewpoint of an contemporary Man who was neither an Apostle or Disciple of the Lord during his earthly ministry. The Rev. Peters clearly exposes the simple interconnected design of the book, a testimony to the true identity of Jesus as the covenanted and predicted Messiah. The Study focuses ONLY on the unique accounts of Luke not contained in the other three Gospels. Every instance in each chapter of Luke's testimony confronts the reader with this most important distinction. By the end of Luke's testimony the evidence is so overwhelming, the distinctions so clear that only one realization remains (the reason Luke wrote the book in the first place) that All of the (past-present-future) Biblical prophecies are to be fulfilled in the person of this Messiah, ONLY the Messiah has the God-given authority and supernatural power to succeed in these appointed tasks, and most importantly, that Jesus and the Messiah are one and the same person. In the plainest manner possible then, Luke spreads within the grasp of the reader the heart and soul of the Bible, the past and future hopes of mankind in this one simple truth. Luke like Jesus would ask "Believest thou this?"
Book Synopsis The Gospel According to Luke by : James R Edwards
Download or read book The Gospel According to Luke written by James R Edwards and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 859 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new Pillar commentary devotes attention throughout to the vocabulary, historical background, special themes, and narrative purpose that make the book of Luke unique among the four Gospels. Though the Gentile focus of Luke is often held to be primary, James Edwards counterbalances that by citing numerous evidences of Luke's overarching interest in depicting Jesus as the fulfillment of the providential work of God in the history of Israel, and he considers the possibility that Luke himself was a Jew. Edwards also draws out other important thematic issues in excursuses scattered throughout the commentary, including discussion of Luke's infancy narrative, the mission of Jesus as the way of salvation, and Luke's depiction of the universal scope of the gospel. This readable, relevant commentary attends to the linguistic, historical, literary, and theological elements of Luke that are essential to its meaning and considers Luke's significance for the church and the life of faith today.

Book Synopsis The topos of Divine Testimony in Luke-Acts by : James R. McConnell
Download or read book The topos of Divine Testimony in Luke-Acts written by James R. McConnell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study James McConnell addresses the concept of authoritative testimony in Luke-Acts. Specifically, he argues that particular elements in the narrative of Luke-Acts can be understood as instances of the topos of divine testimony through utterances and deeds, considered in some ancient rhetorical handbooks to be the most authoritative form of testimony when seeking to persuade an audience. McConnell claims the gods' testimony was used in ancient law courts and political speeches to persuade a judge of a defendant's guilt or innocence, and in attempts in public forums to convince others of a particular course of action. Similarly, the topos is used in ancient narratives and biographies to legitimate certain characters and discredit others. The instances of the topos of God's speech (both oral and through OT citations) and deeds in Luke-Acts are functioning in the same way.
Download or read book Luke written by Robert Charles Sproul and published by Reformation Trust Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we know what Jesus was truly like during His time on earth? A first-century physician set out to gather eyewitness testimony of the life, teaching, and ministry of Jesus Christ. The result is a close-up account of a compassionate Savior on His journey to redeem His people. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul traces the record of Jesus' life as told by Luke, the man considered by some to be one of the greatest historians of the ancient world. Dr. Sproul shows that this gospel is for believers and skeptics alike, written so "that you may have certainty" (Luke 1:4) about the Son of Man who came to seek and save the lost.
Download or read book Life-study of Luke written by Witness Lee and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luke’s Gospel reveals God among men in His saving grace given to fallen mankind. Its purpose is to present the Savior as a genuine, normal, and perfect man. It gives a complete genealogy of the man Jesus, from His parents back to Adam, the first generation of mankind, and shows that He is a genuine descendant of man—a son of man. Its record of the life of this man impresses us with the completeness and perfection of His humanity. Hence, this Gospel stresses the Lord as the Man-Savior. In contrast to Matthew, Luke does not stress the dispensational aspect or the Jewish background. It is the Gospel written to mankind in general, and it announces the good news to all people. Its characteristic is absolutely not Jewish, but Gentile. It is a Gospel to all sinners, both Jewish and Gentile. Since it is such, the sequence of its record is according to morality, not according to historical events.

Book Synopsis Catholic and Mormon by : Stephen H. Webb
Download or read book Catholic and Mormon written by Stephen H. Webb and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What could Roman Catholicism and Mormonism possibly have to learn from each other? On the surface, they seem to diverge on nearly every point, from their liturgical forms to their understanding of history. With its ancient roots, Catholicism is a continuous tradition, committed to the conservation of the creeds, while Mormonism teaches that the landscape of Christian history is riddled with errors and apostasy and in need of radical revision and spiritual healing. Additionally, successful proselyting efforts by Mormons in formerly Catholic strongholds have increased opportunities for misunderstanding, polemic, and prejudice between the two faiths. However, as demonstrated in this unique and spirited dialogue between two theologians, one a convert to Catholicism and the other a convert to Mormonism, these two traditions are much closer to each other than many assume, including in their treatment of central doctrines such as authority, grace, Jesus, Mary, and revelation. Both Catholicism and Mormonism have ambitiously universal views of the Christian faith, and readers will be surprised by how close Catholics and Mormons are on a number of topics and how these traditions, probed to their depths, shed light on each other in fascinating and unexpected ways. Catholic and Mormon is an invitation to the reader to engage in a discussion that makes understanding the goal, and marks a beginning for a dialogue that will become increasingly important in the years to come.

Book excerpt: This new, authoritative commentary on the Gospel of Luke epitomizes the New Testament Library series.

Book Synopsis Just Do Something by : Kevin DeYoung
Download or read book Just Do Something written by Kevin DeYoung and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVER 300,000 COPIES SOLD! Why won’t God reveal his special will for my life already? Because he doesn’t intend to... So says Kevin DeYoung in this punchy book about making decisions the godly way. Many of us are listening for the still small voice to tell us what’s next instead of listening to the clear voice in Scripture telling us what’s now. God does have a will for your life, but it is the same as everyone else’s: Seek first the kingdom of God. And quit floundering. With pastoral wisdom and tasteful wit, DeYoung debunks unbiblical ways of understanding God’s will and constructs a simple but biblical alternative: live like Christ. He exposes the frustrations of our waiting games and unfolds the freedom of finding God’s will in Scripture and then simply doing it. This book is a call to put down our Magic 8-Balls and pick up God’s Word. It’s a call to get wisdom, follow Christ, be holy, and live freely. To just do something.
Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
