Book Synopsis Theology of the Prophetic Books by : Donald E. Gowan
Download or read book Theology of the Prophetic Books written by Donald E. Gowan and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald Gowan offers a unified reading of the prophetic books, showing that each has a distinctive contribution to make to a central theme. These books--Isaiah through Malachi--respond to three key moments in Israel's history: the end of the Northern Kingdom in 722 BCE, the end of the Southern Kingdom in 587 BCE, and the beginning of the restoration from the Babylonian exile in 538 BCE. Gowan traces the theme of death and resurrection throughout these accounts, finding a symbolic message of particular significance to Christian interpreters of the Bible.

Book Synopsis The Theology of the Land in Amos 7-9 by : Robert Khua Hnin Thang

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the book of Amos the language about land is used extensively, including terms and ideas such as Zion, YHWH’s bringing of Israel into the land, references to various sanctuaries and places, harvest and famine, the relationship between the northern kingdom and Judah, and references to the land of other nations. However this subject of the land has never been studied as a theological topic in its own right, but only as part of other themes. This work follows a synchronic reading of Amos and employing textual, literary and historical criticism the author carries out a careful theological analysis of the land. Although the findings are set in the context of the entire book of Amos, the study focuses on chapters 7-9 to explore the topic with closer detail.

Book Synopsis The Land of Israel in Bible, History, and Theology by : J.T.A.G.M. van Ruiten
Download or read book The Land of Israel in Bible, History, and Theology written by J.T.A.G.M. van Ruiten and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-05-06 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with many aspects of the land of Israel. In the first part, the emphasis is on descriptions of the land in Joshua and other books of the Hebrew anf Greek Bible. In the second part, the focus shifts to the land in history and theology: reception-history of biblical texts dealing with the land, archaeology of Palestine, and theological-hermeneutical implications of taking the land traditions of the Bible seriously. The result is a rich collection of articles on one of the main themes of the Old Testament; a theme that has a fascinating, although not always unproblematic reception history.
Book Synopsis From Land to Lands, from Eden to the Renewed Earth by : Munther Isaac
Download or read book From Land to Lands, from Eden to the Renewed Earth written by Munther Isaac and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The land is an important theme in the Bible. It is a theme through which the whole biblical history found in the Old and New Testaments can be studied and analyzed. Looking at the land in the Bible from its beginnings in the garden of Eden this publication approaches the theme from three distinct perspectives – holiness, the covenant, and the kingdom. Through careful analysis the author recognises that the land has been universalized in Christ, as anticipated in the Old Testament, and as a result promotes a missional theology of the land that underlines the social and territorial dimensions of redemption.

Book Synopsis The Land Cries Out by : Salim J. Munayer
Download or read book The Land Cries Out written by Salim J. Munayer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our theology does not exist in a vacuum but must relate to the world we inhabit and must influence our moral and ethical actions. This is especially true when discussing theology of "the land" in the context of a violent territorial conflict. The Holy Land has seen so much bloodshed that the earth itself is crying out to God. The chapters presented in this book form a unique collection of voices speaking from different perspectives on the issue of the theology of the land. These voices include Messianic Jewish and Palestinian Christian theologians and scholars who live in the Holy Land, as well as others from around the world. The various chapters reflect a wide spectrum of opinion and reveal how much disagreement still exists among followers of Christ. However, the dialogue generated by having these opposing voices side by side, speaking to each other rather than past each other, is encouraging. This book is both challenging and inspirational, and contributes in an innovative way to this important discussion.

Book Synopsis The Land as Covenant Gift in the Minor Prophets by : Irina Schiau author
Download or read book The Land as Covenant Gift in the Minor Prophets written by Irina Schiau author and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his book The Problem of the Hexateuch and Other Essays, Gerhard von Rad declares that: “In the whole of the Hexateuch there is probably no more important idea than that expressed in terms of the land promised and later granted by Yahweh.” In the same line of thought, Walter Brueggemann writes that “land is a central, if not the central theme of biblical faith.” The land plays a major role in the Old Testament and is inseparable from Israel’s consciousness of their unique covenant relationship with Yahweh. However, in spite of the high frequency of references to the land, land studies in the Old Testament have mostly concentrated on the Pentateuch and Historical Books due to scholars’ interest in the promise-fulfillment scheme of land. Some works focused on Joshua and Judges in an attempt to answer the method of Israel’s settlement in the land. There are a few contributions to the understanding of the theology of land as found in the prophets, but the main prophets studied are Jeremiah and Ezekiel due to an interest in the exile and return to the land theme. The Minor Prophets seem to be largely neglected in the studies of the land. The land, however, is a very significant theme in the Minor Prophets as evidenced by the pervasiveness of this topic and the distribution of the land references in this collection. (1) The corpus starts and ends with references to the land (Hos 1:2; Mal 3:24). (2) Each prophetic book refers to the land in its introductory verses (verses 1-6, verse 10 in Zech). (3) Furthermore, the theme also often occurs in the beginning of each major part of a book. (4) Finally, with the exception of Jonah, each of the Minor Prophets also ends with allusions to the land or aspects related to the land (agricultural fertility or land imagery). It appears that the land is playing a major role in what the Minor Prophets have to say. One aspect that stands out in the writings of the Minor Prophets is an emphasis upon a bond that exists between Israel and the land, almost always within the context of Israel’s relationship with Yahweh. Laurie J. Braaten states that there is an intimate, three-way relationship between Yahweh, the land, and Israel. He maintains: "When anything in the relationship goes wrong, it affects all parties and disrupts the entire relationship. Whenever one member of this three-way relationship is affected by sin or suffering, the others are drawn in, they are all somehow involved in both the sin and the suffering." This interrelationship between Israel and the land and between Israel and Yahweh implies that “the historical land gift tradition, including especially the Exodus and settlement, was closely identified with the belief in the existence of a covenant relationship between Yahweh and Israel which imposed obligations and conditions, sanctioned by threats of judgment.” The Minor Prophets’ understanding of the land in the corpus is one that treats the land as a covenantal gift. As such, it cannot be enjoyed apart from obedience to Yahweh and his law. It is for this reason that the relationship between the people of Israel and God always affects the land as in a “cycle of cause and effect in terms of human experience and that of the natural world.” The actions of the people determine the destiny of the land: If Israel is obeying the Lord and following his precepts, then the land is flourishing and they are promised security in their land. If the people are rebelling against the Lord and going after the practices of other nations, then they are threatened with agricultural devastation and the casting away from the land through exile. This thesis will look at the theme of the land as covenant gift in the Minor Prophets and try to determine how it is used by these writings individually and collectively to convey their message.

Book Synopsis Waiting for the Rest That Still Remains by : Arie C. Leder
Download or read book Waiting for the Rest That Still Remains written by Arie C. Leder and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waiting for the Rest That Still Remains. A Biblical Theology of the Former Prophets focuses on Israel’s squandering of God’s gift of rest from the enemy all around by worshiping at the altars of other gods, and its ultimate consequences: a second exile, this time from the landed presence of the Lord. Where land is the Pentateuch’s promised future, the Former Prophets proffer a future tied to the Lord’s dynastic covenant with David and Solomon’s dedicatory prayer. Pleas that God hear in heaven the prayers his people direct toward the temple in Jerusalem express hope for the good life in the land, but the culmination of Solomon’s prayer pleads that upon repentance their captors be compassionate to them in the land of their captivity; there is no plea for return to the land from exile. Outside of God’s promise to David Joshua-Kings do not identify an earthly place, like Noah’s ark or the land filled with God’s presence, to which they might return. Israel awaits the fulfillment of God’s promise to David.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to the Old Testament Prophetic Books by : C. Hassell Bullock
Download or read book An Introduction to the Old Testament Prophetic Books written by C. Hassell Bullock and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Testament prophets spoke to Israel in times of historical and moral crisis. They saw themselves as being a part of a story that God was weaving throughout history--a story of repentance, encouragement, and a coming Messiah. In this updated introductory book, each major and minor prophet and his writing are clustered with the major historical events of their time. Our generational distance from the age of the prophets might seem to be a measureless chasm. Yet we dare not make the mistake of assuming that passing years have rendered irrelevant not only the Old Testament prophets, but also the God who comprehends, spans, and transcends all time. In these pages, C. Hassell Bullock presents a clear picture of some of history's most profound spokesmen--the Old Testament prophets--and the God who shaped them.
