Book Synopsis The Good News of the Apocalypse by : Ione L. Sedinger
Download or read book The Good News of the Apocalypse written by Ione L. Sedinger and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today there is a renewed interest in the Biblical book of Revelation-which naturally brings to mind the word "apocalypse." Because Revelation is best known for its wild symbolic imagery, some people will naturally assume this title to imply the same approach. This isn't the case; the word can also mean simply prophetic, and that certainly describes the Bible. We are daily presented with the bad news of the world. In contrast, the Bible is the Good News-the rain that cleanses our soul, the amazing grace assuring us that God is still in control regardless of the situation. Through studying his Word we are programming our conscience for right or wrong in thought and action. That is the reason we need not only to read but to study the Bible daily. The Good News of the Apocalypse offers assistance with that study with a brief, comprehensible discussion of every book in the bible, arising from Sedinger's experience with a study group for teenagers. Everything in life is under God's control, and so Pastor Sedinger refers to life as God's Dance. The Good News is that Jesus came to teach us how to dance with God.
Book Synopsis The Good News of the Apocalypse by : Rev Ione L. Sedinger
Download or read book The Good News of the Apocalypse written by Rev Ione L. Sedinger and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ knew we would never be happy without a personal, viable relationship with him and his Father. He knew the only way for us to truly know him would be to learn his story. This is why Jesus' last commission to his disciples was for them to study the Word in order to teach the Word to others. Through intense study of the New Testament, The Good News of the Apocalypse shows you how to have a meaningful and an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Pastor Sedinger offers a complete overview of the books of the New Testament. She breaks down each book through guided readings and gives a thorough explanation of the book's events and message. In addition, Sedinger incorporates other biblical studies in her narrative to provide a well-rounded understanding of the New Testament. At the heart of this study is the overwhelming importance of accepting Jesus as your personal savior and developing a relationship with him. Knowing about him is not enough to build this relationship. Instead, we must study Scripture and apply it to our lives. The Good News of the Apocalypse will help you in this remarkable journey by complementing your Bible reading and giving you a new understanding of the Gospel.
Download or read book Jesus written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly accessible discussion, Bart Ehrman examines the most recent textual and archaeological sources for the life of Jesus, along with the history of first-century Palestine, drawing a fascinating portrait of the man and his teachings. Ehrman shows us what historians have long known about the Gospels and the man who stands behind them. Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament (and other surviving sources, including the more recently discovered Gospels of Thomas and Peter), Ehrman proposes that Jesus can be best understood as an apocalyptic prophet--a man convinced that the world would end dramatically within the lifetime of his apostles and that a new kingdom would be created on earth. According to Ehrman, Jesus' belief in a coming apocalypse and his expectation of an utter reversal in the world's social organization not only underscores the radicalism of his teachings but also sheds light on both the appeal of his message to society's outcasts and the threat he posed to Jerusalem's established leadership.
Book Synopsis Apocalyptic Good News by : R. Dean Drayton
Download or read book Apocalyptic Good News written by R. Dean Drayton and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remarkable studies in the New Testament have recovered the fact that the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, was apocalyptic good news--God's redemptive action within history. Today, for more and more people, the sheer scope of an evolutionary universe renders life on Earth as utterly insignificant, religion as nothing more than superstition. And now, in the Anthropocene, we on the pale blue dot live in an apocalyptic age in which cataclysmic issue after cataclysmic issue threaten the future of the planet. The faith of the early church was in an apocalyptic cosmic Christ unleashing within history God's good news of a new creation. Set within the world as we now know it, this gives meaning to the cosmos and life wherever it is found around any star. Screened from view for over a millennium during mission to non-apocalyptic cultures, now is the time for a new paradigm for church, the "apocalyptic church" for an apocalyptic age to replace the denominational church. What a difference this makes to faith, worship, and the role of the church in an apocalyptic future.
Download or read book Good News written by Edward Abbey and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1991-01-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Good News, Edward Abbey’s acclaimed underground classic, the West is wild again. American civilization as the twentieth century knew it has crumbled. In the great Southwest, a new breed of settler, whites and Indians together, is creating a new way of life in the wilderness—a pastoral economy—with skills and savvy resurrected from the pre-industrial past. Meanwhile, in a last surviving bastion of urban life, the remnants of the power elite are girding their armed forces to re-impose the old order. This is a land of horses and motorcycles, high-tech weaponry and primitive courage, and the struggle for the American future is mounting in intensity. No quarter is asked or given, and the outcome hangs in perilous balance against a background of magnificent nature and eternal human verities. With this boldly satirical imaginary world, Abbey asks us to look around and take stock of what we value—before it is too late.
Book Synopsis The Rapture Exposed by : Barbara R. Rossing
Download or read book The Rapture Exposed written by Barbara R. Rossing and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2007-03-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of "The Rapture" -- the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth -- is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling "Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community.
Book Synopsis Apocalypse and Allegiance by : J. Nelson Kraybill
Download or read book Apocalypse and Allegiance written by J. Nelson Kraybill and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively introduction, J. Nelson Kraybill shows how the book of Revelation was understood by its original readers and what it means for Christians today. Kraybill places Revelation in its first-century context, opening a window into the political, economic, and social realities of the early church. His fresh interpretation highlights Revelation's liturgical structure and directs readers' attentions to twenty-first-century issues of empire, worship, and allegiance, showing how John's apocalypse is relevant to the spiritual life of believers today. The book includes maps, timelines, photos, a glossary, discussion questions, and stories of modern Christians who live out John's vision of a New Jerusalem.
Book Synopsis The Late Great Planet Earth by : Hal Lindsey
Download or read book The Late Great Planet Earth written by Hal Lindsey and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of The Late Great Planet Earth cannot be overstated. The New York Times called it the "no. 1 non-fiction bestseller of the decade." For Christians and non-Christians of the 1970s, Hal Lindsey's blockbuster served as a wake-up call on events soon to come and events already unfolding -- all leading up to the greatest event of all: the return of Jesus Christ. The years since have confirmed Lindsey's insights into what biblical prophecy says about the times we live in. Whether you're a church-going believer or someone who wouldn't darken the door of a Christian institution, the Bible has much to tell you about the imminent future of this planet. In the midst of an out-of-control generation, it reveals a grand design that's unfolding exactly according to plan. The rebirth of Israel. The threat of war in the Middle East. An increase in natural catastrophes. The revival of Satanism and witchcraft. These and other signs, foreseen by prophets from Moses to Jesus, portend the coming of an antichrist . . . of a war which will bring humanity to the brink of destruction . . . and of incredible deliverance for a desperate, dying planet.
Book Synopsis Apocalypse For A New Millennium by : Benjamin Williams
Download or read book Apocalypse For A New Millennium written by Benjamin Williams and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here we are in the millennium that wasn't supposed to happen, as another generation of end-time authors and bible prophecy "specialists" have proven wrong. Again the Book of Revelation has been brought into disrepute. Can Christians "take back the book" and read John's Apocalypse with fresh eyes? Dr. Williams argues that the prophet John saw in the events of his own day a larger drama playing out, the ultimate struggle between God and evil. Because human nature never really changes, the same great themes speak to every age - including our own. In all the bad news of today's headlines, the Apocalypse unveils the good news that undergirds all human history and drives it forward toward its intended destiny. If you find the Book of Revelation only confusing or even frightening, this book is for you.

As the most overwhelming and frightening Last-Day prophecies are beginning to cast their shadows on an unsuspecting world, Crouch offers an opportunity to find meaning in current world events and reminds us that everything ultimately leads to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. “Reading The Shadow of the Apocalypse is like reading tomorrow’s news headlines. Read this book today!”—Dr. Jack Van Impe, author of Revelation Revealed “This book is about an alarming topic, and yet Paul Crouch infuses it with the eternal promise from Christ.”—Tim LaHaye, co-author of Left Behind
Book Synopsis Living with the Living Dead by : Greg Garrett
Download or read book Living with the Living Dead written by Greg Garrett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Living with the Living Dead, Greg Garrett shows that the zombie apocalypse has become an archetypal narrative for the contemporary world, in part because zombies can represent a variety of global threats, from terrorism to Ebola, from economic uncertainty to mental illness. But paradoxically this narrative also offers human beings a chance to find emotional and spiritual comfort; these apocalyptic stories about individuals facing the imminent prospect of grisly death also offer us wisdom about living in community, present us with real-world ethical problems, and invite us into a conversation.

Download or read book Revelations written by Elaine Pagels and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.
