Book Synopsis New Testament Apocrypha, vol. 3 by : Tony Burke
Download or read book New Testament Apocrypha, vol. 3 written by Tony Burke and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 751 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expansive compilation of New Testament apocrypha in English translation, featuring fascinating but heretofore unpublished texts. New Testament Apocrypha, vol. 3, continues to unearth the vast diversity of Christian Scripture outside of the traditional canon. This new collection encompasses a broad range of languages—Greek, Church Slavic, Old English, Coptic, and more—and spans centuries, from the formation of the canonical New Testament to the high Middle Ages. The selections here represent some of the least studied apocryphal texts, many of which have not previously received an English translation or a critical edition. Notable newly edited and translated selections include The Martyrdom of Zechariah, The Decapitation of John the Forerunner, The Birth of John, The Revelation about the Lord’s Prayer, and The Dialogue of Mary and Christ on the Departure of the Soul. Each text is accompanied by a robust introduction, bibliography, and notes. Scholars of apocrypha, Scripture, and hagiography from a breadth of disciplines will find this an indispensable reference for their research and teaching.

Book Synopsis In the Shadow of His Cross by : Douglas McDonough
Download or read book In the Shadow of His Cross written by Douglas McDonough and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over two thousand years ago, a man named Jesus of Nazareth lived, preached about love and forgiveness to his friends and followers, ultimately was crucified on a cross, died, and rose on the third day. It is a story that has been told and retold for millennia. But what do we know about what was happening in the shadows of Christ's cross? In the Shadow of His Cross is a fictional story of political intrigue, love, and revenge. Titus is a centurion of the Roman army assigned to maintain peace and order in one of the furthest outreaches of the Roman Empire. There, he navigates the dangerous political waters in Jerusalem, following his orders while also using the power plays between Pontius Pilate, the governor of the Roman province of Judea, and Caiaphas, the high priest of the great temple of Jerusalem, to his ultimate advantage. In the shadows, we also meet Dysmas. Dysmas is a man no different from many of us. He is a devoted husband and father, doing his best to raise his two young children in difficult political times. He is a hardworking craftsman and a loyal neighbor. But something happens to change him, to seal his destiny to be crucified alongside Jesus of Nazareth. Is forgiveness and redemption possible? Find out what took place In the Shadow of His Cross.

Book Synopsis The Thief, the Cross and the Wheel by : Mitchell B. Merback
Download or read book The Thief, the Cross and the Wheel written by Mitchell B. Merback and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2001-03-15 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ's Crucifixion is one of the most recognized images in Western culture, and it has come to stand as a universal symbol of both suffering and salvation. But often overlooked is the fact that ultimately the Crucifixion is a scene of capital punishment. Mitchell Merback reconstructs the religious, legal, and historical context of the Crucifixion and of other images of public torture. The result is a fascinating account of a time when criminal justice and religion were entirely interrelated and punishment was a visual spectacle devoured by a popular audience. Merback compares the images of Christ's Crucifixion with those of the two thieves who met their fate beside Jesus. In paintings by well-known Northern European masters and provincial painters alike, Merback finds the two thieves subjected to incredible cruelty, cruelty that artists could not depict in their scenes of Christ's Crucifixion because of theological requirements. Through these representations Merback explores the ways audiences in early modern Europe understood images of physical suffering and execution. The frequently shocking works also provide a perspective from which Merback examines the live spectacle of public torture and execution and how audiences were encouraged by the Church and the State to react to the experience. Throughout, Merback traces the intricate and extraordinary connections among religious art, devotional practice, bodily pain, punishment, and judicial spectatorship. Keenly aware of the difficulties involved in discussing images of atrocious violence but determined to make them historically comprehensible, Merback has written an informed and provocative study that reveals the rituals of medieval criminal justice and the visual experiences they engendered.
Book Synopsis The Man Born to Be King by : Dorothy L. Sayers
Download or read book The Man Born to Be King written by Dorothy L. Sayers and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In twelve plays for broadcasting at monthly intervals, Dorothy L. Sayers drew on material from all four Gospels, keeping the theme of Jesus of Nazareth's divine kingship in focus throughout, while locating him firmly in the social and political context of his time. The first half cover episodes that precede the final journey to Jerusalem and the latter half primarily deal with Passion Week themes. It is the simplicity and profundity of Jesus' words in the Fourth Gospel especially that Sayers drew on in her own writing for the "voice" of Jesus "on air." The plays gave her an opportunity to explore the many gospel characters surrounding Jesus, not least that of Judas. And beyond the utter sorrow of Jesus' death, the King comes into his own in the garden of resurrection.

Download or read book Subversive written by Crystal Downing and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for her bestselling detective novels, Dorothy L. Sayers lived a fascinating, groundbreaking life as a novelist, feminist, Oxford scholar, and important influence on the spiritual life of C.S. Lewis. This pioneering woman not only forged a literary career for herself but also spoke about faith and culture in revolutionary ways as she addressed the evergreen question of to what extent faith should hold on to tradition and to what extent it should evolve with a changing culture. Thanks to her unmatched wisdom, prophetic tone, and insistent strength, Dorothy Sayers is a voice that we cannot afford to ignore. Providing a blueprint for bridge-building in contemporary, polarizing contexts, Subversive shows how Sayers used edgy, often hilarious metaphors to ignite new ways to think about Christianity, shocking people into seeing the truth of ancient doctrine in a new light. Urging readers to reassess interpretations of the Bible that impede the cause of Christ, Sayers helps twenty-first-century Christians navigate a society increasingly suspicious of evangelical vocabularies and find new ways to talk and think about faith and culture. Ultimately, she will inspire believers, on both the right and the left, to evaluate how and why their language perpetuates divisive certitude rather than the hopeful humility of faith, and will show us all a better way forward.
Book Synopsis A Cloud of Witnesses by : Gordon Pratt Baker
Download or read book A Cloud of Witnesses written by Gordon Pratt Baker and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His name was Jesus, and his cause was humanity. It was a cause Jesus did not have to meet alone. There was a cloud of witnesses to bear him out. (from the Introduction) Gordon Pratt Baker offers "cameos of 10 who testified" in his sermon collection. "My purpose in writing is, first, to lift up the concept that the individual, whatever his or her station in life or aptitude, plays no small part in the fulfillment of the Lord's will in the world," writes Baker. He adds that this collection came together out of a long-standing interest in these biblical personalities as individuals in whom we can see our potential selves. In the process of sharpening such an insight it will become increasingly evident that, given the chance, faith will overcome frailty. Personalities in A Cloud Of Witnesses include: Woman of Samaria Mary of Bethany Peter Nicodemus John the Baptist Salome and four others Gordon Pratt Baker, Glenn Burnie, Maryland, is an ordained Untied Methodist minister with 42 years in active service. For 16 of those years he was editor of evangelistic material used by churches of several denominations. This is his third CSS book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Day Series Book 1 The Darkness is the first book in a series that explores the three mysterious days between Jesus' death and resurrection. What happened in Heaven and in Sheol during these days? Why did Joseph bury Jesus, and what were Mary, Annas, Caiaphas, and the disciples doing while Jesus was dead? And what about that dark world of evil spirits; what were they up to while Jesus was gone? But most importantly, what was Jesus Himself accomplishing while the earth was poised between two covenants with God? This series explores it all. A dramatic re-enactment of history's most pivotal transition, this unexplored subject becomes an epic adventure that wisely informs. Introducing Christianity in an entertaining way, this series also unveils a few mysteries which are vital to the universal church. Deeply moving and creatively humorous, this series is a must read for anyone even remotely interested in the things of God.
