Book Synopsis The Devil, Demons, Judas, and "the Jews" by : Torsten Lofstedt
Download or read book The Devil, Demons, Judas, and "the Jews" written by Torsten Lofstedt and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What place do the four Gospels give Satan, demons, and Jesus’ human opponents (including Jewish leaders but also Jesus’ disciples) in their accounts of Jesus’ life? This study takes a literary-historical approach to the Gospels, examining them as narratives. It shows how the authors were in the process of developing the devil as a character and determining which roles he filled. New interpretations of individual passages in the Gospels are given as well as new understandings of the theological emphases of each author. This study is also a contribution to redaction criticism and the relative chronology of the Gospels. It employs the theory of Matthean posteriority which revolutionizes our understanding of the literary relations between the Gospels and allows for a new understanding of theological development in early Christianity.

Book excerpt: From the National Book Award-winning and National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of The Gnostic Gospels comes a dramatic interpretation of Satan and his role on the Christian tradition. "Arresting...brilliant...this book illuminates the angels with which we must wrestle to come to the truth of our bedeviling spritual problems." —The Boston Globe With magisterial learning and the elan of a born storyteller, Pagels turns Satan’s story into an audacious exploration of Christianity’s shadow side, in which the gospel of love gives way to irrational hatreds that continue to haunt Christians and non-Christians alike.

Download or read book Judas Iscariot written by David Giles and published by . This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dave illustrates a viewpoint of Judas Iscariot' actions are a crucial part of our salvation and that Judas was honored by Jesus. There is more than just someone to blame for Jesus' crucifixion. A new church was being formed with Jesus at the center. This advanced theology narrative is not for the faint-hearted beginner on their new path to eternity. Let us continue with the four Gospels for new members of the church. Dave takes us through the formation of the early church. Through the customs and traditions of the times and how much Judas was special to Jesus. Judas was the scapegoat providing the populace with someone to unite against as the reason Jesus died. He was more educated, thoughtful, and able to get the deeds done that needed to be borne by "Good Friday". Even to the point of goading the authorities into crucifying Jesus now rather than after the feast. With Judas as the "Demon of Satan", the church was able to be united. The Conference of Nicaea reaffirms traditions and lays the plan for the church to grow by providing selected works to be included in a Bible. God's hand definitely inspired these men. Here we are 2,000 years later, women are preachers, and all the apostles went forth to preach (including Judas) and many of our inhibitions and doctrines have been laid to rest. Finally, Dave ends with Grace is given to all of us, Jew, and gentile alike. When the Lord said "forgive them, they know not what they do" he asked God in his name to forgive all of us, Romans, Greeks, us and even Judas. We are all forgiven. So, if Jesus can forgive, can we do less? Our salvation is only dependent on our believe that Jesus died for all of our sins; past, present and future. There is an underlying current to Dave's work. Go forth! Prosper, enjoy life, and live the abundant life. We need to revisit Judas' role of traitor. Judas is actually an Angel of God.
Book Synopsis A Stranger in Jerusalem by : Trevan G. Hatch
Download or read book A Stranger in Jerusalem written by Trevan G. Hatch and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Stranger in Jerusalem, Trevan Hatch attempts to situate the stories about Jesus within their Jewish context. Jesus was a Jew, his friends were Jews, his first followers were Jews, he studied the Hebrew Scriptures (either orally or from texts), he worshiped in the synagogue, and he occasionally traveled to Jerusalem to observe the Israelite festivals. Hatch illustrates that Jesus does not seem to have rejected Judaism or acted as a radical outsider in relation to his Jewish peers, but rather he worked within a Jewish framework. The overarching questions addressed in this book are (1) how can an understanding of early Judaism illuminate our understanding of the Jesus traditions, (2) how did Jesus relate to his Jewish world and vice versa, (3) why did the Gospel writers portray Jesus and his Jewish peers the way they did, and (4) how would Jews in the first and second centuries have interpreted the Jesus traditions upon hearing or reading them? Hatch explores several topics, including childhood and family life in first-century Galilee; Jewish notions of baptism and purity; Jewish prophets and miracle workers; Jewish ideas about the messiah; and Jesus' relationship with Judas, the Pharisees, the priestly establishment in Jerusalem, the Jewish populace, and his own disciples.
Download or read book Judas written by William Klassen and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating books sifts the evidence and startlingly concludes that in the earliest sources Judas was not a traitor. While the name Judas Iscariot evokes horror among many people, Klassen argues persuasively that Judas may have meant no harm in handing over Jesus to the religious authorities. The book traces the ways in which Judas is portrayed by the four writers of the gospels, showing how the picture was increasingly demonized as the later gospels were written.This is the most important study in English of Judas within the context of first-century Judaism. Klassen shows by rich reference to literature of both the ancient period and later times how the concept of Judas as traitor emerged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heather Renae Acquistapace The Day the Devil Smiled Synopsis There is only one thing on Jesus Christs mind as He and His twelve disciples eat the Passover meal in Jerusalem: the salvation of mankind. The Son of God knows that the only way for humanity to be able to live with Him in eternity will be for Him to die to pay for the punishment of all the sins of time. Jesus longs to save the people, but He does not want to go through the bloody, torturous death that awaits Him. The Son of God is guarded by angels, two of which are Iceil and Ameron. The two angels, as well as many others, continually fight the demons trying to intercept the Mighty Ones plan of salvation. Tyzar, the demonic leader of the dark spirits in Jerusalem, endlessly tries to disrupt Jesuss mission and is helped by Sysen, a demon specialized in controlling human minds. During the Passover meal, Jesus tries to prepare His disciples for the trying hours before them, but the demons in the room cause the men to be confused by the Masters words. Sysen takes control of one mans mind, Judas Iscariot, and deceives him into killing himself later on in the story. The men then travel to the Mount of Olives where Jesus prays and asks God if there is another way to save the people of the world. The Devil meets Jesus in the garden and tries to convince Him that Gods plan will fail. The time of prayer is agonizingly difficult as Jesuss inward conflict builds with each deceptive word from Satan. After hours of prayer, the Lord of Heaven and Earth tells Jesus to continue with the plan of salvation, and He obeys. When Jesus is done praying, He is arrested by temple guards, tied, and taken before the religious leaders. The demons try to make chaos and deceive the people. The angels fight them to keep the disciples safe. Jesus has angered the Jewish leaders in the past and has claimed He is the Son of God, a crime punishable by death. After an illegal trial, Jesus is taken before the Roman governor of Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate, the only authority who can sentence someone to death. The governor does not find Jesus guilty. After questioning Him for a time, he sends the Prisoner to Herod Antipas, the governor of where Jesus war born; a mob follows their every move. Upon seeing Jesus, Herod demands Him to perform a miracle, but when Jesus does not obey, He is sent back to Pilate. The Roman does not want to kill the innocent Man. Therefore, he allows the Jews to pick between two prisoners, Jesus and a murderous revolutionary, to be set free, as he does once every year to be in favor with the people. The Jews choose the revolutionary and demand Jesuss death. Satan whispers in Pilates ear to have Jesus flogged to satisfy the crowd and the Roman, still unwilling to kill Jesus and believing the Devils advice is the solution, orders for the beating to commence. As Jesuss body is brutally slashed open with whips, the angels face the demons wanting to torment Christs spirit alongside the floggers. Christ is then presented to the Jews once more, but the cry for His death is louder still. Pilate, not wanting the people to become a riot, surrenders and orders Jesus to be put to death. The Son of God is followed by a mob to Golgotha and nailed to a cross. Before He dies, all the sins of mankind come onto Jesus, and for the first time, Christ feels separated from God. When Jesus dies, the Devil smiles, but the sins are extinguished because of Jesuss sacrifice. Three days after Jesus is killed, the Holy Spirit brings Him back to life, obtaining victory for the angels and destruction for the demons. Jesus appears before His followers a number of times and forty days after His death ascends into Heaven along with Iceil, Ameron, and a few other angels. Jesus sits down at the right hand of God, humanity is saved, and the demonic forces lose yet again another spic battle.

Book Synopsis Three Versions of Judas by : Richard G. Walsh
Download or read book Three Versions of Judas written by Richard G. Walsh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judas Iscariot, known for his betrayal of Jesus, is a key figure in the Gospel narratives. As an insider become outsider, Judas demarcates Christian boundaries of good and evil. 'Three Versions of Judas' examines the role of Judas in Christian myth-making. The book draws on Jorge Luis Borges' "Three Versions of Judas" to present three Judases in the Gospels: a Judas necessary to the divine plan; a Judas who is a determined outsider, denying himself for God's glory; and a Judas who is demonic. Exploring the findings of biblical criticism and artistic responses to Judas, 'Three Versions of Judas' offers an analysis of the evil necessarily inherent in Christian narratives about Judas.
Book Synopsis The Jewish Persona in the European Imagination by : Leonid Livak
Download or read book The Jewish Persona in the European Imagination written by Leonid Livak and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-10 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that the idea of the Jews in European cultures has little to do with actual Jews, but rather is derived from the conception of Jews as Christianity's paradigmatic Other, eternally reenacting their morally ambiguous New Testament role as the Christ-bearing and -killing chosen people of God. Through new readings of canonical Russian literary texts by Gogol, Turgenev, Chekhov, Babel, and others, the author argues that these European writers—Christian, secular, and Jewish—based their representation of Jews on the Christian exegetical tradition of anti-Judaism. Indeed, Livak disputes the classification of some Jewish writers as belonging to "Jewish literature," arguing that such an approach obscures these writers' debt to European literary traditions and their ambivalence about their Jewishness. This work seeks to move the study of Russian literature, and Russian-Jewish literature in particular, down a new path. It will stir up controversy around Christian-Jewish cultural interaction; the representation of otherness in European arts and folklore; modern Jewish experience; and Russian literature and culture.
