Book Synopsis The Kabbalistic Teachings of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas by : Lewis Keizer
Download or read book The Kabbalistic Teachings of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas written by Lewis Keizer and published by Lewis Keizer. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel of Thomas preserves a core of authentic Aramaic sayings of Yeshua older than the earliest Christian writings. When they are isolated from the second-century Gnostic framework, they reveal many of Yeshua's inner-circle kabbalistic teachings. Scholars can restore much of the pre-kabbalistic tradition of Yeshua's era through sources like the Sepher Yetzirah, Sepher Ha-Razim, and the haggadah preserved in the Mishna, Babylonian and Palestinian Talmuds, Philo of Alexandria, and the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament. These were the Holy Scriptures of Essenes, Zadokites, and other messianic Jews of the period, including Yeshua and his disciples. The Psalms they chanted in worship and Shabbat Seder were not just those of our Old Testament, but the messianic Odes of Solomon and others preserved in Enochian and apocalyptic scripture. A study of this forgotten sacred literature allows modern scholars to understand and reconstruct the oral Kabbalah of Yeshua embedded in the Gospel of Thomas.

Book Synopsis The Gospel of Thomas by : Jean-Yves Leloup
Download or read book The Gospel of Thomas written by Jean-Yves Leloup and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2005-02-16 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new translation and analysis of the gospel that records the actual words of Jesus • Explores the gnostic significance of Jesus's teachings recorded in this gospel • Explains the true nature of the new man whose coming Jesus envisioned • Translated and interpreted by the author of the bestselling The Gospel of Mary Magdalene and The Gospel of Philip One of the cache of codices and manuscripts discovered in Nag Hammadi, the Gospel of Thomas, unlike the canonical gospels, does not contain a narrative recording Christ's life and prophecies. Instead it is a collection of his teachings--what he actually said. These 114 logia, or sayings, were collected by Judas Didymus Thomas, whom some claim to be Jesus's closest disciple. No sooner was this gospel uncovered from the sands of Upper Egypt than scholars and theologians began to bury it anew in a host of conflicting interpretations and polemics. While some say it is a hodgepodge from the canonical gospels, for others it is the source text from which all the gospel writers drew their material and inspiration. In this new translation of the Gospel of Thomas, Jean-Yves Leloup shows that the Jesus recorded by the "infinitely skeptical and infinitely believing" Thomas has much in common with gnostics of non-dualistic schools. Like them, Jesus preaches the coming of a new man, the genesis of the man of knowledge. In this gospel, Jesus describes a journey from limited to unlimited consciousness. The Jesus of Thomas invites us to drink deeply from the well of knowledge that lies within, not so that we may become good Christians but so we may attain the self-knowledge that will make each of us, too, a Christ.

Book Synopsis Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus by : Chester Brown
Download or read book Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus written by Chester Brown and published by Drawn & Quarterly. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idiosyncratic master Chester Brown continues his thoughts on sex work The iconoclastic and bestselling cartoonist of Paying for It: A comic-strip memoir about being a john returns with a polemical interpretation of the Bible that will be one of the most controversial and talked-about graphic novels of 2016. Mary Wept over the Feet of Jesus is the retelling in comics form of nine biblical stories that present Chester Brown’s fascinating and startling thesis about biblical representations of prostitution. Brown weaves a connecting line between Bathsheba, Ruth, Rahab, Tamar, Mary of Bethany, and the Virgin Mother and reassesses the Christian moral code by examining the cultural implications of the Bible’s representations of sex work. Mary Wept over the Feet of Jesus is a fitting follow-up to Brown’s sui generis graphic memoir Paying for It, which was reviewed twice in the New York Times and hailed by sex workers for Brown’s advocacy for the decriminalization and normalization of prostitution. Brown approaches the Bible as he did the life of Louis Riel, making these stories compellingly readable and utterly pertinent to a modern audience. In classic Chester Brown fashion, he provides extensive handwritten endnotes that delve into the biblical lore that informs Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus.
Download or read book Think Little written by Wendell Berry and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1972, “Think Little” is cultural critic and agrarian Wendell Berry at his best: prescient about the dire environmental consequences of our mentality of greed and exploitation, yet hopeful that we will recognize war and oppression and pollution not as separate issues, but aspects of the same. “Think Little” is presented here alongside one of Berry’s most popular and personal essays, “A Native Hill.” This gentle essay of recollection is told alongside a poetic lesson in geography, as Berry explains at length and in detail, that what he stands for is what he stands on.

From short stories to essays to poems, these little books celebrate our most–beloved writers, whose work encapsulates the spirit of Counterpoint Press: cutting–edge, wide–ranging, and independent.
Book Synopsis Did Jesus Christ Exist? by : John Ostrowick
Download or read book Did Jesus Christ Exist? written by John Ostrowick and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a significant movement on Internet at present, heavily supported by the New Atheist movement, which denies that Jesus Christ ever existed. Some of the claims that are made, most notoriously in the first Zeitgeist movie, are demonstrably false. In this book, John Ostrowick explores the academic, mythological, textual, archaeological, scientific, and probabilistic arguments for the existence of Jesus Christ. This book argues that although the evidence for Christ is slim at best, he nonetheless remains the simplest hypothesis to explain the particularly detailed story that we hear in the New Testament Gospels. Although we only have one apparently original document referring to Jesus - the book of Mark - it is still simplest to assume he existed, even if he was merely a man, and only did some of the things described in the New Testament.
Book Synopsis Finding Jesus in His Prayers by : Dr. H. Stephen Shoemaker
Download or read book Finding Jesus in His Prayers written by Dr. H. Stephen Shoemaker and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brief but substantive examination of the prayers Jesus prayed, Stephen Shoemaker offers helpful applications of Jesus’ prayers as both a way to better understand Jesus and as a way to use his prayers as a model for our own prayer lives. The book addresses our twin hungers for spirituality and for a deeper grasp of who Jesus was. The author takes seriously the way Jesus prayed and how his prayers open a window to our own experience of God. Included are discussions of: the Lord’s Prayer (Matt. 6:9-13), the Prayer of Thanksgiving amid Life’s Reversals (Matt.11:25-26), the Gethsemane Prayer (Mark 14:36), the Prayers from the Cross (Luke 23:34; Matt. 27:46; Luke 23:46), and prayers from John's Gospel (11:41-42, 12:27, 17:11). The author stays close to the text of the prayers (sometimes including his own translations) but explores their meaning in our lives. He uses Abba rather than the English translation “Father” in order to bring the reader closer to Jesus as he spoke the words of each prayer. A study guide is included to assist leaders in using the book with small groups. “Jesus’ prayers are a challenge and a scandal to the ways our culture wants to pray. His spirituality, found in his prayers, is a profound guide to the soul and a remedy to a culture in search of a soul.” --H. Stephen Shoemaker
Book Synopsis Jesus, Joshua, Yeshua of Nazareth Revised and Expanded by : Gordon Clouser
Download or read book Jesus, Joshua, Yeshua of Nazareth Revised and Expanded written by Gordon Clouser and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Jesus? An apocalyptic prophet? An aphoristic sage? The messiah of Jewish expectations? In Jesus, Joshua, Yeshua of Nazareth, Gordon Clouser analyzes the question of the historical Jesus and argues that the realities of Jesus' ministry place him squarely in the forefront of Jewish messianic culture. Presenting conclusions matured by a lifetime of research and personal reflection, Clouser courageously-and effectively-refutes scholarly "new consensus" positions on the historical nature of Jesus. Clouser directly confronts the Jesus Seminar's characterizations of Jesus as an aphoristic sage. He rebuts scholars' attempts to separate beliefs of John the Baptist and Jesus. He contends that the imminent-coming/end-time Son of Man passages are not gospel authors' promotions of Paul's second coming of Jesus, nor in fact are they Jesus' predictions of his own return. In place of conventional thinking, Clouser advances a fresh, yet feasible explanation for the "Son of Man" identification for Jesus. In Jesus, Joshua, Yeshua of Nazareth Gordon Clouser addresses an ages-old controversy with answers that will thoroughly satisfy the thoughtful seeker of historical truth.

Book Synopsis Jesus was a Feminist by : Leonard J. Swidler
Download or read book Jesus was a Feminist written by Leonard J. Swidler and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of four decades of research, Jesus Was a Feminist compellingly presents the case that Jesus treated women equally with men, and he boldly broke the customs of his day to involve them in his work. Renowned scholar and leader among liberal Catholics Leonard Swidler examines all gospel texts involving women, asserts that women were involved in the writing of two of the gospels, and outlines the importance of women in Jesus' ministry and the creation and development of the early church. He shows how Jesus was a feminist and modern Christians should be too. Click here for the Detailed Table of Contents (pdf)
