Book Synopsis The Funny Risen Jesus. Elias Christology Now! by : Elias Rinaldo Gamboriko AJ. Ph. D .
Download or read book The Funny Risen Jesus. Elias Christology Now! written by Elias Rinaldo Gamboriko AJ. Ph. D . and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st Century Church is in crisis. Throughout various Christian denominations humanity is lost on its definition about the Messiah and how they personally relate to him at individual level. Compared to other complement religious faiths, Christianity can be said to have lost its actual interpretation about the suffering, death and resurrection of the Son of Man. Christians are also responsible for wondering away from the true faith given the rebellious nature of man and love for the creation rather than the Creator Himself. As a result, many people have found "comfort" in things that do not satisfy and largely deviate from the teaching of our Lord about seeking his Kingdom first and the rest to follow. In Christology, change is almost the source of uncertainty and a measure of fear and anxiety. For many, this fear is difficult to manage, and it causes various reactions. Some negative reactions to accept Christ include denial, ignorance, isolation, anger, resistance and resentment. These reactions can cause serious effects on the environment in which the change is taking place. The results can be oppression, suppression, violence, and lack of self-control. A personal brief Christological study will reveal such reactions when humanity lacks a clear definition and relation with Christ. The drastic transition taking place in social structures and the shifting of the long held beliefs is destroying the defining lines between Christ and Humanity. The impact of these confusing ideas has been always negative where humanity no longer upholds to the teachings of the church. Many people suffer violence and murder, children have become victims of resentment and Christianity bears the scars of deterioration. This book addresses answers to these critical occurrences from the perspective of modern Christology. The purpose, the relationship and role of human experience is explored, presented and supported by biblical concepts in line with the original concept of creation and why Christ had to be presented as the Son of Man; in human flesh.

Book Synopsis Laughing Matters by : Giorgio Baruchello
Download or read book Laughing Matters written by Giorgio Baruchello and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-11-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part 2 of Volume 3 addresses in detail the conflicts between humor and cruelty, i.e., how cruelty can be unleashed against humor and, conversely, humor can be utilized against cruelty. Potent enmities to mirth and jollity are retrieved from a variety of socio-historical contexts, ranging from Europe’s medieval monasteries to the 2015 Charlie Hebdo massacre. Special attention is paid to the cruel humor and humorous cruelty arising thereof, insofar as such phenomena can reveal critical aspects of today’s neoliberal socio-economic order. In parallel, settings where humor has been used as an instrument to cope with suffered cruelty, whether natural or human in origin, are also retrieved and discussed. These also vary greatly and encompass domains such as hospital wards, 20th-century Jewish ghettoes, and contemporary funeral homes. A set of concluding reflections is then offered on the psychological, theological, ethical, and metaphysical roots of humor—and its cruel rejection.
Book Synopsis THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE LOST GENERATION OF SUDAN by : Elias Rinaldo Gamboriko, AJ. Ph.D
Download or read book THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE LOST GENERATION OF SUDAN written by Elias Rinaldo Gamboriko, AJ. Ph.D and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-01-14 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the situation of the lost girls and boys of Sudan and to identify the effects of civil war in the country. The effects of war in the country left most Sudanese traumatized in refugee camps, while a few managed to relocate to the United States and settle in South Dakota. Through this study, some of the lived experiences of several lost girls and boys who have suffered psychologically and socially as a result of being exposed to civil war and being forced to relocate to the United States have been identified. The degree to which these Sudanese immigrants’ current lives in the U.S. are affected by what they witnessed and experienced, as well as the extent to which their treatment was helpful in restoring their mental health, was also examined. Information from the interviews showed that each of the experiences of these young men and women were unique and that each immigrant coped with their experiences differently. One conclusion drawn from the study was that a majority of the support for these new immigrants should be given to those individuals who are 18 or older when they arrive.

Book Synopsis The Hillsong Movement Examined by : Tanya Riches
Download or read book The Hillsong Movement Examined written by Tanya Riches and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume brings together leading writers and thinkers to provide a critique of a broad range of topics related to Hillsong Church. Hillsong is one of the most influential, visible, and (in some circles) controversial religious organizations/movements of the past thirty years. Although it has received significant attention from both the academy and the popular press, the vast majority of the scholarship lacks the scope and nuance necessary to understand the complexity of the movement, or its implications for the social, cultural, political, spiritual, and religious milieus it inhabits. This volume begins to redress this by filling important gaps in knowledge as well as introducing different audiences to new perspectives. In doing so, it enriches our understanding of one of the most influential Christian organizations of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Book Synopsis The Waiting Father by : Helmut Thielicke
Download or read book The Waiting Father written by Helmut Thielicke and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Waiting Father is a collection of sermons by Helmut Thielicke, the great German preacher and theologian, which offer deep insights into the spiritual message of Jesus's fifteen major parables. They were originally preached in Michaelskirche, Hamburg, in the mid-1950s. Thielicke approaches the parables in novel ways. In treating the prodigal son, for instance, he concentrates more on the loving father than the rebellious son, emphasising the centrality of forgiveness. Similarly, when discussing the pharisee and the publican he shows that the publican is guilty of spiritual pride and arrogance, drawing attention to the dangers for the faithful. Both among expositions of the parables and among books for preachers, The Waiting Father stands in a class of its own. Great scholars are usually poor preachers, and great scholars are rarely good preachers, but Thielicke manages to combine distinguished scholarship with fine preaching.
Book Synopsis King and Messiah as Son of God by : Adela Yarbro Collins
Download or read book King and Messiah as Son of God written by Adela Yarbro Collins and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of the idea that the king and later the messiah is Son of God, from its origins in ancient Near Eastern royal ideology to its Christian appropriation in the New Testament. Both highly regarded scholars, Adela Yarbro Collins and John J. Collins argue that Jesus was called “the Son of God” precisely because he was believed to be the messianic king. This belief and tradition, they contend, led to the identification of Jesus as preexistent, personified Wisdom, or a heavenly being in the New Testament canon. However, the titles Jesus is given are historical titles tracing back to Egyptian New Kingdom ideology. Therefore the title “Son of God” is likely solely messianic and not literal. King and Messiah as Son of God is distinctive in its range, spanning both Testaments and informed by ancient Near Eastern literature and Jewish noncanonical literature.

Download or read book Lexicon of Jewish Names in Late Antiquity: The Eastern Diaspora 330 BCE-650 CE written by Ṭal Ilan and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2002 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this lexicon Tal Ilan collects all the information on names of Jews in Palestine and the people who bore them between 330 BCE, a date which marks the Hellenistic conquest of Palestine, and 200 CE, the date usually assigned to the close of the mishnaic period, and the early Roman Empire. Thereby she includes names from literary sources as well as those found in epigraphic and papyrological documents. Tal Ilan discusses the provenance of the names and explains them etymologically, given the many possible sources of influence for the names at that time." "In addition she shows the division between the use of biblical names and the use of Greek and other foreign names. She analyzes the identity of the persons and the choice of name and points out the most popular names at the time. The lexicon is accompanied by a lengthy and comprehensive introduction that scrutinizes the main trends in name giving current at the time." --Book Jacket.
Book Synopsis Does God Have a Big Toe? by : Marc Gellman
Download or read book Does God Have a Big Toe? written by Marc Gellman and published by HarperTrophy. This book was released on 1993-10-30 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before there was anything, there was God, and a few angels, and a huge swirling glob of rocks and water with no place to go. The angels asked God, "Why don't you clean up this mess?" This collection of short, funny stories is one man's interpretation of how God did just that -- with some very unlikely help. There was Adam, who decided to number the animals instead of giving them names -- until he lost count. There was Max, a matchmaking angel disguised as a camel. And who could forget the kindly dolphins of the Red Sea or the builders of the spectacularly chaotic Tower of Babel, whose foundation rests in one small girl's question: "Mommy, does God have a big toe?" Reflecting Mr. Gellman's lifelong love for his subject, this witty collection of midrashim provides a wonderful way to learn about and to share the stories of the Bible. Distinguished artist Oscar de Mejo brings the right blend of reverence and humor with his magnificent oil paintings.

Download or read book Becoming Divine written by M. David Litwa and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Some have called it the essence of sin, others the depth of salvation. Regardless of one's evaluation of it, however, deification throughout Western history has been a part of human aspiration. From the ancient pharaohs to modern transhumanists, people have envisioned their own divinity. These visionaries include not only history's greatest megalomaniacs, but also mystics, sages, apostles, prophets, magicians, bishops, philosophers, atheists, and monks. Some aimed for independent deity, others realized their eternal union with God. Some anticipated godhood in heaven, others walked as gods on earth. Some accepted divinity by grace, others achieved it by their own will to power. There is no single form of deification (indeed, deification is as manifold as the human conception of God), but the many types are united by a set of interlocking themes: achieving immortality, wielding superhuman power, being filled with supernatural knowledge or love--and through these means transcending normal human (or at least ""earthly"") nature. "
Download or read book The Gnostics written by Tobias Churton and published by Barnes & Noble Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek word 'gnosis' means knowledge; the Gnostics themselves used it to refer to the spiritual knowledge they believed would redeem them from what they regarded as the inherent evil of the material universe. As a mystical alternative tradition within Christianity, Gnosticism suffered the hostility of the official church and, as a result, remains largely unknown or misunderstood to this day.

Book Synopsis The Resurrection of the Messiah by : Christopher Bryan
Download or read book The Resurrection of the Messiah written by Christopher Bryan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Resurrection of the Messiah, Christopher Bryan combines literary, historical, and theological approaches in a study of the doctrine of the Resurrection. The book is divided into three parts. The first section provides a careful and sympathetic description of first-century Jewish and pagan opinions and beliefs about death and what might follow. This is followed by a presentation of a general account of early Christian claims about the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. The second part of the book offers a detailed, full-length commentary on and exegesis of the main New Testament texts that speak of Jesus' death and resurrection: 1 Corinthians 15 and the narratives in the four canonical gospels. As a framework for this commentary, Bryan utilizes the pattern of apostolic preaching presented by Paul and then echoed by each of the four evangelists, namely the formula "Christ died, Christ was buried, Christ has been raised, Christ appeared." The final section of the book is spent discussing and evaluating various proposals that have been made by those attempting to explain the data in ways that differ from the traditional Christian explanation. Bryan also considers various theological and ethical implications of accepting the claim "Jesus Christ has been raised from the dead." Throughout his study, Bryan exhibits a willingness to face hard questions as well as an appropriate reverence for a faith that for almost two thousand years has enabled millions of people to lead lives of meaning and grace.
