Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most traditions within Christianity would agree that the "gospel" is the "story of the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus." Problematically, this common contemporary definition does not fit logically with the biblical texts that reference the term. Consider Mark 1:14, Galatians 3:8, Hebrews 3:16-4:2, Luke 3:18 & 9:6.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: However scandalous it may seem, by the 4th century A.D., the biblical meaning of the term "gospel" was lost. From that time onward, the Judeo-Christian world alternately embraced a proclamation of "the story of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus." The Gospels are explicit that Jesus did not reveal His intent to die sacrificially until the very end of His life. Therefore, what "gospel" was it that... ...Jesus preached at the beginning of His ministry? Mark 1:14 ...first came to Abraham? Galatians 3:8 ...came to ancient Israel when Moses led the nation? Hebrews 3:16-4:2 ... John the Baptist preached before he baptized Jesus? Luke 3:18 ...was preached by Jesus' disciples, prior to knowing their Rabbi would go to the cross? Luke 9:6 After more than a millennium, the "'gospel' of the kingdom" that was embraced in the 1st century A.D. has been identified once again.

Book excerpt: 'It has been slowly dawning on me over many years that there is a fundamental problem deep at the heart of Christian faith and practice as I have known them . . . we have all forgotten what the four Gospels are about.' With that surprising assertion, Tom Wright launches this ground-breaking work in which he helps us to see the gospel story in radically a new light, and to acknowledge that, for many generations, the Church has been avoiding its full impact and holding back from proclaiming its full meaning. 'Classic Wright: clear, accessible, robust, engaging and challenging.' Paula Gooder in Third Way 'Scholarly, accessible, insightful and provocative.' Christianity 'Wright argues compellingly that the twin themes of kingdom and cross are inseparably linked. . . This is a much-needed reorientation. The book makes its case for 'rethinking' cogently and deserves widespread attention.' Theology

Book Synopsis The Kingdom of God: Preached by Jesus... Forgotten by Us by : Wayne Barrett
Download or read book The Kingdom of God: Preached by Jesus... Forgotten by Us written by Wayne Barrett and published by Christlife Publications. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kingdom of God was the prevalent theme of Jesus' teaching and that of the apostles. And yet, it is not the prevalent theme of American Christianity. For many Christians, it is not even a strong concept. Why is that? And what are the implications of this conceptual deficiency? Wayne Barrett's book is a call for renewal of kingdom thinking and kingdom living among Christ's people-particularly those in America. He advocates for Christian living that is informed by a worldview of two kingdoms: the kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world. Topics include: What is the kingdom of God? Who is in it and who is excluded? How should the kingdom of God advance, and what does that advancement look like? How does a Christian discover his or her role in God's kingdom? Barrett also discusses how a Christian's own "script," relating to how one should live or even relating to one's church involvement, can prevent him or her from functioning as a kingdom citizen. The book is both a challenge and an appeal to American Christians to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Book Synopsis The Lost and Forgotten Gospel of the Kingdom by : Steven R. Service
Download or read book The Lost and Forgotten Gospel of the Kingdom written by Steven R. Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: However scandalous it may seem, by the 4th century A.D., the original biblical meaning of the term “gospel” was lost. What “gospel” did Jesus preach at the start of His ministry? Mark 1:14…that first came to Abraham? Galatians 3:8…was also preached in the days of Moses? Hebrews 3:16-4:2…was known by John the Baptist before he baptized Jesus? Luke 3:18…and later was preached by Jesus' disciples, prior to knowing their Rabbi would go to the cross? Luke 9:6. Each verse references preaching of a “gospel” that could not have possibly been “the story of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.” After more than a millennium, the “'gospel' of the kingdom” has been identified once again. “Christianity” was originally a faith movement within Judaism, wherein a group of Jewish disciples followed and lived by the teachings of the Rabbi Yeshuah, (Jesus). Continuing in the spirituality of Moses, Jesus taught adherents how to embrace divine empowerment from God by entry into the kingdom. His followers recorded these teachings in the Koine Greek Scriptures. Jesus was not understood by the religious establishment of His time and was crucified. Nevertheless, the faith movement grew. Initially the scriptures served posterity to lead them into the wonders of the kingdom of God. However, the characteristics of the movement changed markedly in the first 300 years. In the 1st century A.D., the Hebraic Faith Movement that began with Abraham reached its apex about 50 years after the death of Jesus and was labeled “Christianity.” By the 4th century A.D., Christianity had completed its transition from what originated as an Eastern minded Hebraic faith tradition, and then developed later into a Western thinking, Aristotelian, Gentile religious movement. Like a tree severed from its root, the latter group was no longer dominated by its original constituency. Christians who were filled with antipathy for the Jews, redefined a new religious identity largely through interpretation of Koine Greek sacred texts that were composed much earlier in the 1st century A.D. Upon these, a legalistic reductionistic interpretational method was imposed in order to derive doctrinal formulations, religious creeds and a new order of sacramental worship; a system of praxis far removed from the concerns of their disavowed ancient ancestors of faith. Along with their separation from the Hebraic Tradition and anathematization of the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures, Christendom eventually lost the ability to accurately identify the meaning of a number of biblical terms, in keeping with their ancient formative contexts of understanding. The term “gospel,” as it was originally understood by the authors of scripture was no longer definable. Although many Christians today would generally agree that the “gospel” is “the story of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus,” which if “accepted” as being factually true, has the “salvific” power to afford adherents entry into heaven after death, the point is substantiated herein that 1st century followers of the Rabbi Jesus understood and participated in a “gospel,” whereby they entered a dynamic, living and miraculous relationship with God. With the unwitting acceptance of new meanings for several biblical terms, however, the spirituality of Christianity was set off course, leading many adherents into an elitist intellectual religion, steeped in divisive theories and dead propositional fundamentalism. In light of reviewing the factors that contributed to the loss of the “gospel,” an attempt is made to trace and restore a biblical, historical & intellectual path that originally gave definition to the term, and to shine a light back to the way of Hebraic spirituality. Jesus, His disciples and the authors of the Greek scriptures participated fully in the same “gospel” that had been embraced by ancient Israel's spiritual ancestors: Abraham, David and the prophets. Critics of Jesus & the Church may find new insights & renewal here.
Book Synopsis The Kingdom of God by : Nicholas Perrin
Download or read book The Kingdom of God written by Nicholas Perrin and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last hundred and fifty years the kingdom of God has emerged as one of the most important topics in theology, New Testament studies, and the life of the church. But what exactly is the kingdom of God? What does it mean for the people of God and what does it mean for how they live in the world? In The Kingdom of God, part of the Biblical Theology for Life series, Nicholas Perrin explores this dominant biblical metaphor, one that is paradoxically the meta-center and the mystery in Jesus' proclamation. After survey interpretations by figures from Ritschl to N. T. Wright, Perrin examines the "what, who, and how" questions of the kingdom. In his sweepingly comprehensive study, Perrin contends that the kingdom is inaugurated in Jesus' earthly ministry, but its final development awaits later events in history. In between the times, however, the people of God are called to participate in the reign of God by living out the distinctly kingdom-ethic through hope, forgiveness, love, and prayer. X

Book Synopsis The Lost Way by : Stephen J. Patterson
Download or read book The Lost Way written by Stephen J. Patterson and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this rigorously researched and thoughtful study, a leading Jesus Seminar scholar reveals the dramatic story behind the modern discovery of the earliest gospels, accounts that do not portray Jesus exclusively as a martyr but recover a lost ancient Christian tradition centered on Jesus as a teacher of wisdom. The church has long advocated the Pauline view of Jesus as deity and martyr, emphasizing his death and resurrection. But another tradition also thrived from Christianity’s beginnings, one that portrayed Jesus as a teacher of wisdom. In The Lost Way, Stephen Patterson, a leading New Testament scholar and former head of the Jesus Seminar, explores this lost ancient tradition and its significance to the faith. Patterson explains how scholars have uncovered a Gospel that preceded at least three of those in the Bible, which is called Q. He painstakingly demonstrates how historical evidence points to the existence of this common source in addition to Mark—recognized as the earliest Gospel—that both Matthew and Luke used to write their accounts. Q contained a collection of Jesus’s teachings without any narrative content and without accounts of the passion, though being the earliest version shared among his first followers—scripture that embodies a very different orientation to the Christian faith. Patterson also explores other examples of this wisdom tradition, from the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas; to the emergence of Apollos, a likely teacher of Christian wisdom; to the main authority of the church in Jerusalem, Jesus’s brother James. The Lost Way offers a profound new portrait of Jesus—one who can show us a new way to live.

Book Synopsis The Gospel of the Kingdom by : Eng Hoe Lim
Download or read book The Gospel of the Kingdom written by Eng Hoe Lim and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What good news do we have for the poor?" "Have I misunderstood the Gospel?" These were burning questions for the author as he was repeatedly confronted with extreme poverty in his work of bringing relief supplies to the poor in crisis prone nations around the world. Those questions started him off on a re-reading of the Bible that "rocked and overturned his boat" and led to a massive paradigm shift in his understanding of the Gospel - from the Gospel of salvation as most Christians know it, to the Gospel of the Kingdom. From that shift, came a fresh "out of the box" understanding of church, of spirituality, of ministry and of the role and mission God intends for His church to the world. Although written in simple narrative style and kept short and concise for the ordinary church-goer, this book may yet challenge some theological minds on the most basic questions of why God created us and put us on this planet. It may possibly even question your salvation too! Get ready to be rocked or overturned as you are invited to recapture a vision of God's Kingdom on earth and discover the end goal of the Gospel.
