This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her work Rebekah Earnshaw provides an analysis of Creator and creation according to Calvin on Genesis. This offers a new theological reading of Calvin's Genesis commentary and sermons, with an eye to systematic interests. This analysis is presented in four chapters: The Creator, The Agent and Act of Creation, Creatures, and Providence. Calvin on Genesis gives unique insights into each of these. First, the Creator has priority in Calvin's thought. The Creator is l'Eternal, who is infinitely distinct and abundantly for creatures in his virtues. Second, the agent of creation is triune and the act of creation is "from nothing" as well as in and with time. This is a purposeful beginning. Third, Calvin affirms creaturely goodness and order. The relation of humans and animals illustrates Calvin's holistic view of creation as well as the impact of corruption and disorder. Providential sustenance and concursus are closely tied to the nature of creatures and the initial word. Fourth, fatherly governance for the church is presented separately and demonstrated by Calvin's treatment of Abraham and Joseph. Earlier presentations of Calvin on Creator and creation are incomplete, because of the lack of sustained attention to Calvin on Genesis. This analysis supplements works that concentrated on the Institutes and Calvin on Job, by bringing new material to bear. Further, throughout this analysis lies the implicit example of a biblical theologian, who pursues what is useful from scripture for the sake of piety in the church. Insights from Calvin's thought on Genesis provide a foundation for systematic work that reflects on this locus and the integrated practice of theology.

Book excerpt: For hundreds of years John Calvin's Commentaries have been admired and relied upon for their deep insights into Scripture. Charles Spurgeon told his students, "It would not be possible for me too earnestly to press upon you the importance of reading the expositions of that prince among men, John Calvin! Of all commentators I believe John Calvin to be the most candid. He was no trimmer and pruner of texts. He gave their meaning as far as he knew it. His honest intention was to translate the Hebrew and the Greek originals as accurately as he possibly could, and then to give the meaning which would naturally be conveyed by such Greek and Hebrew words: he laboured, in fact, to declare, not his own mind upon the Spirit's words, but the mind of the Spirit as couched in those words." And even Arminius himself admitted, "Next to the perusal of the Scriptures, which I earnestly inculcate, I exhort my pupils to peruse Calvin's commentaries, for I affirm that he excels beyond comparison in the interpretation of Scripture, and that his commentaries ought to be more highly valued than all that is handed down to us by the Library of the Fathers; so that I acknowledge him to have possessed above most others, or rather above all other men, what may be called an eminent gift of prophecy."

This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A careful and unbiased analysis of how thinkers from church history interpreted the creation narrative in Genesis How literally are we meant to take the creation week of Genesis 1? In this polarizing debate, contemporary interpreters invoke great theologians from history to support their own side, whether that be a young Earth or theistic evolution. The problem lies in trying to force ancient authors into contemporary boxes, as Andrew J. Brown shows in this thought-provoking volume. Covering Philo, Basil, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley, and more, Brown carefully interprets great thinkers’ readings of Genesis 1 in their intellectual contexts. He then assesses how these authors have been subject to cherry-picking and misappropriation in the trenches of the modern creation debate. By studying the intellectual history of the church in this way—to revisit rather than recruit the ancients—we can enrich our own biblical interpretation. Irenic and magisterial, Brown’s guide will interest both scholars of historical theology and anyone invested in the creation debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Whelan's aim in this book is to encourage readers to look at the truth of the history of the Holy Scriptures and to affirm the belief in the verbal inspiration of Scripture and its inerrancy and infallibility. His work focuses on an overview of the truth of six literal days for creation. Natural God-given laws of physics and a cosmological model are examined. The question of evolution is also considered. He shows the earth as being young in accordance with the Biblical record. He also writes that the universe is also relatively young and that we should consider Biblical creation as our starting point. This effort to instiU what God created in six days, as compared to theories of evolution, will undoubtedly generate much discussion. In this work I analyse Bible Creation truth vs evolutionism - a young earth vs an old earth. When it comes to a subject such as this it is wonderful to have an eye-witness as a friend. The Lord Jesus is that eye-witness. As the Son of God - the Eternal Second Person of Elohim and YAHWEH - He walked with Adam in the Garden - but before that was with the Father and the Holy Spirit creating and speaking (Ge 1:3, 9, 11, 20, 26; 2:3, 18; 2:9, 22, 23). We know this truth as Jesus as the Eternal living word (Jn 1:1), told Moses all that Moses needed to know and write down as historical fact. This author has research over 60 works - scholarly books to discuss and confirm the truth of the Bible for this title: Bible Creation Truth - Genesis 1. Man is the apex of the Lord God's creation not the ape of evolutionism. God's creation of His fullness apart from man was different for He said "Let the land produce living creatures..." (Gen 1:24). However, when God made man, it was a personal relationship - "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule ......" (Gen 1:26). Man was made viceroy of God's creation, in charge of all God's work under God until man was disobedient. The aim of this work is to encourage believers to focus on the absolute truth of the history of the Bible - Holy Scripture (2 Tim 3:15-17). The focus is literal Biblical truth as opposed to a focus on metaphor, allegory or poetry. Some will suggest there is a place for these but this leads to liberal relativism. The question is - which worldview? In the theological subject "Apologetics" much has been written emphasising that Christians must be prepared to give a reason for heir hope in Jesus, but also to be well versed in the Historical fact of Scriptural truth. Thus this work is an encouragement for diligent study of literal Biblical truth. In this work, this author will not limit the theology of the existence of God. The Biblical fact is that God does exist and that He is sovereign. The sovereignty of God, (Elohim) (Ge 1;1-2:3), the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit - YAHWEH (LORD) (Ge 2:4ff) is Biblical fact and the truth of the Trinity and the authority of the Person of Jesus is not questioned. Separate chapters are devoted to these truths. Jesus is the eternal second Person of YAHWEH, who came into our history but who has always been present in God's eternity in the loving unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (1 Peter 1:19,20) Jesus was to be Saviour as this Scripture teaches - Saviour before the world began. This work focuses on firstly an overview of the truth of 6 literal days of creation. The supernatural and miraculous works of God are never questioned. Natural God given laws of physics and a cosmological model are examined. The question of evolution is also examined. There then follows the truth Scripture gives on these questions. Several subjects are repeated and added to, depending on their relation to key subject areas. The Holy Spirit guides born again believers into all truth - keep rejoicing. Read less

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the Bible to the glory of God. In 1952, C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity eloquently defined the essential tenets of the Christian faith. With the rise of fractured individualism that continues to split the church, this approach is more important now than ever before for biblical hermeneutics. Many Christians wonder how to read the text of Scripture well, rightly, and faithfully. After all, developing a strong theory of interpretation has always been presented by two enormous challenges: A variety of actual interpretations of the Bible, even within the context of a single community of believers. The plurality of reading cultures—denominational, disciplinary, historical, and global interpretive communities—each with its own frame of reference. In response, influential theologian Kevin J. Vanhoozer puts forth a "mere" Christian hermeneutic—essential principles for reading the Bible as Scripture everywhere, at all times, and by all Christians. To center his thought, Vanhoozer turns to the accounts of Jesus' transfiguration—a key moment in the broader economy of God's revelation—to suggest that spiritual or "figural" interpretation is not a denial or distortion of the literal sense but, rather, its glorification. Irenic without resorting to bland ecumenical tolerance, Mere Christian Hermeneutics is a powerful and convincing call for both church and academy to develop reading cultures that enable and sustain the kind of unity and diversity that a "mere Christian hermeneutic" should call for and encourage

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As debates within the Church over the scientific details of creation become more frequent, the experts seem to grow more entrenched while the rest of us only become more confused. Somewhere between the endless arguments over distant starlight and Carbon-14 dating, calculating the mathematical improbabilities of things that already exist, and parsing ancient Hebrew and Greek, somebody needs to ask the simple question, If 3,500 years of scientific progress can't help modern Christians figure out Genesis, then how could the ancient Israelities possibly have understood it so well? What secret did this newly liberated gaggle of Hebrew nomads take with them out of Egypt that holds the key to understanding God's telling of His own creation story? Beyond the Firmament challenges all creationist camps --whether Young-Earth, Old-Earth, or Theistic Evolutionist -- to step outside of traditional paradigms and recognize how our modern, Western, post-Enlightenment scientific worldview actually blinds us from seeing the simple truth of Creation as it was originally intended, and how our failure to grasp the theological significance of the Biblical creation model puts science and faith on a collision course.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did the writer of Genesis mean by “the first day”? Is it a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, am I denying the authority of Scripture? In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis, John Lennox proposes a succinct method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God’s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth. With this book, Lennox offers a careful yet accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.

In the book, The Reality of God’s Creation, we can understand that the reality our eyes see day by day is not nearly what the Father wished for us, and through Jesus Christ, we have access to this reality lost by sin. God’s Word is the most potent encyclopedia in life. However, it would be a mysterious unknown if there were not God’s great will through the anointing of the Spirit, both to write it and to interpret it. From this formula, the result comes—revelation. In possession of it, what remains is to live enjoying a life carefully planned by our God and Father. Moreover, nothing is better than knowing how everything was planned. Just know the manual of life—the Word of God—consulting how everything was planned in the beginning. (Pastor Atlas Freire) Purpose and destiny! To discover the purpose of human existence is undoubtedly one of the most-thought-out questions of our time. We live in an age when our society is hungry for a purpose, for a mission, for a real sense. Who is a human being? What is your place within the planet and society? When God created man, he had a goal; nothing was done by chance, and everything is wholly connected according to his magnificence. You have a purpose and a destiny, and until you find out which one, you will never be complete and successful in your life. Once you know your purpose, God will show your destiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early years of the sixteenth century, the Church experienced a dramatic shift in its moral perception of the practice of usury. Leaders of the continental Protestant Reformation (Lutheran, Calvinist, and Anabaptist) all grappled with the Roman Catholic Church's moral teaching on the practice of lending money at interest. Although these three theological streams addressed the same moral problem, at relatively the same time, they each responded differently. Reforming the Morality of Usury examines how the leaders of each major stream in the continental Protestant Reformation adopted a different approach to reforming moral teaching on the practice of usury.

The organizers chose as theme for the conference ''Calvin and His Influence 1509-2009,'' hoping to stimulate reflection about what Calvin's ideas and example have meant across the five centuries since his lifetime, as well as about how much validity the classic interpretations that have linked his legacy to fundamental features of modernity such as democracy, capitalism, or science still retain.
