Download or read book The Scrolls of Adamis written by David Kraft and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-10 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a shadowy Chinese messenger appears at the door of Alfred Smith, a top geneticist and gives him a package that contains the newly discovered "Scrolls of Adamis" nothing in his life will be the same. If authentic, these papers will explode all the accepted theories of Darwinism, our most precious religious doctrines and even Creation itself. It will draw mankind into a new kind of "War of the Worlds" that will threaten our continued existence. More momentous than the "Dead Sea Scrolls" it will redefine the very existence of God. Only Alfred, his beautiful scientific associate, Ming Loo, held prisoner in China and an eccentric Professor from Duke University stand in the way of Earth's domination by an all powerful alien force that have already conquered our minds, infiltrated our DNA with their powerful genes and have patiently waited since our creation to complete their conquest. After countless eons, just 100 years are left for most of us on Earth and our descendents. After that all would disappear except for a chosen few. Only this unlikely trio has any chance of stopping them.

Book Synopsis Significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Essays by : Jonathan S. Nkhoma
Download or read book Significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Essays written by Jonathan S. Nkhoma and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Nkhoma, in this scholarly collection of essays, enriches the reader with different interesting windows on how one can unearth the riches contained in some of the New Testament writings. The first two essays underscore the importance of placing the New Testament in a proper context and attempt to construct this context by discussing the historical background and the theological understanding of the Qumran Covenanters as derived from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Jonathan Nkhoma treats many aspects touching the proper interpretation of the New Testament writings. For example, he shows how the sacramental rituals of washing and eating together in the Qumran Community add meaning to the same rituals carried over to the New Testament. The significance of table fellowship is treated in greater depth in a subsequent essay. Throughout the various essays the question of the historicity of the various texts is treated in a succinct way and the author is able to come to some helpful conclusions drawing on the previous work of many well know scholars. The later essays tackle the very difficult question of martyrdom and Jonathan Nkhoma delves into the history of two particular cases in order to shed light on this difficult subject. All essays are written in impeccable English which flows in an easy style. This collection of essays would be invaluable to anyone who would wish to make a serious study of the New Testament writings.
Book Synopsis Race, Rhetoric, and Technology by : Adam J. Banks
Download or read book Race, Rhetoric, and Technology written by Adam J. Banks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-15 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Adam Banks uses the concept of the Digital Divide as a metonym for America's larger racial divide, in an attempt to figure out what meaningful access for African Americans to technologies and the larger American society can or should mean. He argues that African American rhetorical traditions--the traditions of struggle for justice and equitable participation in American society--exhibit complex and nuanced ways of understanding the difficulties inherent in the attempt to navigate through the seemingly impossible contradictions of gaining meaningful access to technological systems with the good they seem to make possible, and at the same time resisting the exploitative impulses that such systems always seem to present. Banks examines moments in these rhetorical traditions of appeals, warnings, demands, and debates to make explicit the connections between technological issues and African Americans' equal and just participation in American society. He shows that the big questions we must ask of our technologies are exactly the same questions leaders and lay people from Martin Luther King to Malcolm X to slave quilters to Critical Race Theorists to pseudonymous chatters across cyberspace have been asking all along. According to Banks the central ethical questions for the field of rhetoric and composition are technology access and the ability to address questions of race and racism. He uses this book to imagine what writing instruction, technology theory, literacy instruction, and rhetorical education can look like for all of us in a new century. Just as Race, Rhetoric, and Technology: Searching for Higher Ground is a call for a new orientation among those who study and profess African American rhetoric, it is also a call for those in the fields that make up mainstream English Studies to change their perspectives as well. This volume is intended for researchers, professionals, and students in Rhetoric and Composition, Technical Communication, the History of Science and Society, and African American Studies.
Book Synopsis Lords of the Scrolls: Literary Traditions in the Bible and Gospels by : Donald K. Sharpes
Download or read book Lords of the Scrolls: Literary Traditions in the Bible and Gospels written by Donald K. Sharpes and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lords of the Scrolls analyzes ancient literary sources to show how biblical and gospel scribes borrowed and imitated themes from earlier literature to create heroic legends around Hebrew figures and Jesus. Comparisons between the Epic of Gilgamesh; Enuma Elish; Canaanite, Egyptian, and Greek legends; Homeric epics; the histories of Herodotus; and selected biblical and gospel passages reveal thematic and literary similarities. Tracing literary classics from the birth of writing to the first millennium of the modern era, this book demonstrates that Hebrew scribes used previous literature to establish a national identity, and that gospel scribes borrowed heavily from Homer to create epic legends around the person of Jesus.

Book Synopsis Renegades for Jesus by : Maria Estelle Olivo
Download or read book Renegades for Jesus written by Maria Estelle Olivo and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the year 2027 when the world was going through horrible times, and Jesus was observing everything from heaven. He came up with a perfect solution to fix it. Jesus turns to the Father and he says, "Father the world's problems are escalating and the people are more coldhearted. They are loving evil and hurting others because their love has diminished from their hearts. Many of them are committing heinous crimes and others are taking their lives because of the dilemmas of life pressure. The governments are becoming more corrupted. Do you see what the leader of Iran is planning to do? We must come up with an answer to the circumstances. We should select three souls to do our bidding on earth? What about these three?" "Yes, Son, let us select them. Matter of fact, we will call them the Renegades for Jesus." Meanwhile, the devil was observing everything that was happening on the earth, for people's hearts were wicked. Mother Nature was getting worse; therefore, he decides to come up with a plan of his own. His, son, Adam Bismarck was nearby him when he shares the plan. "You will disguise yourself as the savior of the world and make sure that everyone in the world takes the Mark of the Beast. I will assist you with the agenda.
Book Synopsis Jesus Monotheism by : Crispin Fletcher-Louis
Download or read book Jesus Monotheism written by Crispin Fletcher-Louis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-29 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of a four-volume groundbreaking study of Christological origins. The fruit of twenty years research, Jesus Monotheism lays out a new paradigm that goes beyond the now widely held view that Paul and others held to an unprecedented "Christological monotheism." There was already, in Second Temple Judaism and in the Bible, a kind of "christological monotheism." But it is first with Jesus and his followers that a human figure is included in the identity of the one God as a fully divine person. Volume 1 lays out the arguments of an emerging consensus, championed by Larry Hurtado and Richard Bauckham, that from its Jewish beginnings the Christian community had a high Christology and worshipped Jesus as a divine figure. New data is adduced to support that case. But there are weaknesses in the emerging consensus. For example, it underplays the incarnation and does not convincingly explain what caused the earliest Christology. The recent study of Adam traditions, the findings of Enoch literature specialists, and of those who have explored a Jewish and Christian debt to Greco-Roman Ruler Cult traditions, all point towards a fresh approach to both the origins and shape of the earliest divine Christology.

Book Synopsis The Lost World of Adam and Eve by : John H. Walton
Download or read book The Lost World of Adam and Eve written by John H. Walton and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2015-02-23 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity Today Biblical Studies Award of Merit For centuries the story of Adam and Eve has resonated richly through the corridors of art, literature and theology. But for most moderns, taking it at face value is incongruous. And even for many thinking Christians today who want to take seriously the authority of Scripture, insisting on a "literal" understanding of Genesis 2–3 looks painfully like a "tear here" strip between faith and science. How can Christians of good faith move forward? Who were the historical Adam and Eve? What if we've been reading Genesis—and its claims regarding material origins—wrong? In what cultural context was this couple, this garden, this tree, this serpent portrayed? Following his groundbreaking Lost World of Genesis One, John Walton explores the ancient Near Eastern context of Genesis 2–3, creating space for a faithful reading of Scripture along with full engagement with science for a new way forward in the human origins debate. As a bonus, an illuminating excursus by N. T. Wright places Adam in the implied narrative of Paul's theology. The Lost World of Adam and Eve will be required reading for anyone seeking to understand this foundational text historically and theologically, and wondering how to view it alongside contemporary understandings of human origins. The books in the Lost World Series follow the pattern set by Bible scholar John H. Walton, bringing a fresh, close reading of the Hebrew text and knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the biblical topic at hand using a series of logic-based propositions.
Book Synopsis Black Holes in the Dead Sea Scrolls by : Robert Feather
Download or read book Black Holes in the Dead Sea Scrolls written by Robert Feather and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Dead Sea Scrolls were unearthed in 1947, a small group of scholars has exerted a jealous control over access to the originals. This policy has hindered understanding of these priceless texts. Now expert Robert Feather exposes a shocking conspiracy at the heart of biblical and archaeological studies, and shines a bold--and sure to be controversial--light on the Scrolls, linking the isolated Essene cult at Qumran with Jesus Christ and the Ancient Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten, founder of monotheism.
