Book Synopsis The Pith of the Apocalypse by : Paul A. Rainbow
Download or read book The Pith of the Apocalypse written by Paul A. Rainbow and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-10-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To serve God and Christ faithfully in the midst of a pagan society that exalts power, wealth, and pleasure is the tenor of the prophetic summons to the church in the book of Revelation. Unfortunately, this simple message, as potent today as it was at the end of the first century, is often obscured by misguided, if sincere, interpreters. The present book explores the background issues and lays out the principles that inform a sound approach to this enigmatic writing: its historical and cultural setting, its literary structure, its symbolic code, its core theological concepts, its scheme of last things, and its preachable and teachable points. In dialogue with dispensationalism on the one hand and with the skeptical criticism of it on the other, The Pith of the Apocalypse derives clues for cracking the Apocalypse from the book itself, viewed against the sweep of the biblical prophetic tradition that flowed into it, through the lens of methods widely accepted in mainstream New Testament scholarship. Readers will return to the book of Revelation itself with enhanced confidence, penetration, and understanding.

Book Synopsis Reading Revelation by : Gordon W. Campbell
Download or read book Reading Revelation written by Gordon W. Campbell and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Revelation can be read in various ways. Where interpretation opts not to venture beyond Revelation or approach the book as a forecast of end-time events, it typically favours either going behind the text, in search of a socio-historical context of origin to which it might refer, or else standing in front of the text and investigating the book’s reception history, or its present relevance and impact. Comparatively little interpretative work has been undertaken inside the text, exploring the mechanics of how Revelation ‘works’, still less how its complex parts might fit together into a meaningful whole. Gordon Campbell considers Revelation to be a coherent narrative composition that draws its hearer or reader into its text-world. In Reading Revelation: A Thematic Approach, Campbell gives an innovative account of Revelation’s sophisticated thematic content. Mindful of Revelation's narrative verve, or its architecture en mouvement (as Jacques Ellul once put it), Campbell plots a series of thematic trajectories through the book. On this reading, parody and parallelism fundamentally shape the whole narrative. As a first-ever integrated account of Revelation’s macro-themes, Reading Revelation makes an important contribution to Revelation scholarship. In its light, the book may justifiably be seen as the ‘crowning achievement’ of the Scriptures.

Book Synopsis Enigma: An Interpretative Commentary of Revelation by : Dr. Nathan Ogan
Download or read book Enigma: An Interpretative Commentary of Revelation written by Dr. Nathan Ogan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This has been offered to the reader as if to say that from the very outset, any study of Revelation that is done or offered without the direct application of Jesus? teaching, specifically His sermon on the Mount of Olives, is incomplete at best. The argument that God conclusively broadened His redemptive purpose beginning with the Jewish people then spread to all races, as promised in Matthew 28:19, rings true in Revelation when understood in the context of what Jesus taught. What's more, the development of temple-based worship into a simpler spiritual-based worship as expected in John 4:21-24 is equally difficult to ignore from what appears to have been fulfilled in the prophecy of Revelation as predicted by Jesus in His Mount of Olives sermon.
Book Synopsis Lions, Locusts, and the Lamb by : Michael Kuykendall
Download or read book Lions, Locusts, and the Lamb written by Michael Kuykendall and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The symbolism of Revelation has puzzled readers for centuries. Every generation falls prey to extreme views of interpretation. Even worse, they minimize the importance of John’s Apocalypse by not teaching or preaching from it. Yet Revelation is a profound work of New Testament theology and warrants a close study. John expects and prepares believers to follow the Lamb through suffering and possible martyrdom. The problem is centered on what the symbols mean. Are they literal? Are they symbolic? Do the images refer to events and people in the first century, or to the last days of planet earth? Moreover, how is the book structured? Is it one vision, four visions, or more? Are the visions linear or recapped? Lions, Locusts, and the Lamb: Interpreting Key Images in the Book of Revelation demonstrates a way to unlock John’s structure and unravel his symbols. The key is to follow a logical step-by-step interpretive approach that accents the historical, cultural, intertextual, extratextual, and particularly intratextual allusions and connections. The result is a book that delivers the basic meaning of three hundred images and categorizes them into an accessible guide for teachers, preachers, and readers of Revelation.

Book Synopsis The Four Horses of the Apocalypse by : Benjamin Dock Jr.
Download or read book The Four Horses of the Apocalypse written by Benjamin Dock Jr. and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sentiment as the book closes packed with information breathed into heart and mind is to desire you have found our Lord to be honest and full of love toward his creation. He honestly informs us of the end coming as the church prepared for her resurrection trumpet to sound. The scriptures pertaining to the first three and a half years of seven-week years of Daniel is so full of imagery and the conclusion must have had many words taken from imagery through visions that are hard to understand. Consequently, the same vision of John's revelation are written plainly and simple, rolling up all of Daniel's entities into two basic ones. One is the appearance of the beast out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns are both the Antichrist and beast. Secondly, the beast out of the land is the false prophet sent for the destruction of Israel. The scarlet woman is Jerusalem or Babylon. That is pretty much it made simple so any one reading should comprehend the book. Those who read and study the book of Revelation are offered salvation through Christ as one finishes the book. As well, those who miss the catching away of the bride of Christ will need the information written in God's word. Not much mention of this by modern ministers. You will need information written in my book in order to find your way through the maze and obey the only promise through the terrible times coming on the world for the safety of your soul! Not only do you have to refrain from the 666 mark and the worship of the beast you must also obey the "everlasting gospel" Jesus teaches in Mathew 25:31""46. Evidently with so many failures of souls saved during the first half, God sends an angel close to the first half ending of tribulation to announce the everlasting gospel. Many people have hoarded food and other supplies but are only concerned with themselves. It must have been that many people were unaware of this sheep and goat judgment in force. Those who will not share with folks in need are goats and will be cast out of the kingdom. You survived the 666 mark and the beast worship but failed to share! God help you!
Book Synopsis Reading Revelation After Supersessionism by : Ralph J. Korner
Download or read book Reading Revelation After Supersessionism written by Ralph J. Korner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, Ralph Korner argues that John’s extensive social identification with Judaism(s), Jewishness, and Jewish institutions does not reflect a literary program of replacing Israel with the ekklēsiai (“churches”/“assemblies”), that is the Jewish and non-Jewish followers of Jesus as Israel’s Messiah. Rather, John is emplacing his Christ-followers further within Israel, without thereby superseding Israel as a national identity for ethnic Jews who do not follow Jesus as the Christos. There are three primary roads travelled in this investigative journey. First, Korner explores ways in which a Jewish heritage is intrinsic to the literary structure, genre, eschatology, symbolism, and theological motifs of the Apocalypse. Second, he challenges the linear chronology of (generally) supersessionist dispensational readings of Revelation’s visionary content by arguing for a reiterative/repetitive structure based on certain literary devices that also provide structure for visions within Jewish apocalypses and Hebrew prophecies. Third, he incorporates the most recent research on ekklēsia usage, especially in Asia Minor, to assess how John’s ekklēsia associations might have been (non-supersessionally) perceived, especially by Jews in Roman Asia.
Book Synopsis Johannine Theology by : Paul A. Rainbow
Download or read book Johannine Theology written by Paul A. Rainbow and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this magisterial synthesis, Paul A. Rainbow presents the most complete account of the theology of the Johannine corpus available today. Both critical and comprehensive, this volume includes all the books of the New Testament ascribed to John: the Gospel, the three epistles and the book of Revelation. While not proclaiming a definitive position on the question of authorship, this work seeks to shed light on the theology common to all the New Testament authors. John?s root beliefs concerning God, humanity, sin, the world, and the significance of the Christ-event on eschatology unite the examined books with the rest of the New Testament canon. The Johannine corpus also highlights the important areas of christology, soteriology and ecclesiology in a manner that is worth exploration. Organizing John's ideas by the main characters around whom they revolve, the Johannine universe consists of persons divine and human, and their relationships with each other. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, faithful believers and the rest of the world are the main cast of characters that make up the rich set of writings considered in this exhaustive analysis.
