Book Synopsis Identifying With The Sacrifice by : Frank Raymond Ogles
Download or read book Identifying With The Sacrifice written by Frank Raymond Ogles and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had to keep looking downward because I could not look into his face. As he stepped into the water beside me, I saw the scars on top of his feet. At this time, I realized just who he was and I placed my hands over my face and peeked out from between my fingers. He was carrying a cup and pitcher in his right hand. The pitcher was smooth and shinny with large drops of water covering the surface that was falling to the ground. I saw the scars in his wrist when he leaned over and handed me the cup. He did not say anything to me, but I knew he wanted me to hold the cup so he could pour into it whatever He had in His pitcher. With my head bowed and my eyes looking upward, I lifted the cup. Jesus put his fingers palm up inside the cup pouring the liquid into his palm so the liquid would run off his fingers into my cup. When the cup was filled, I saw it was water so I put the cup to my lips and drank. After finishing three cups of Jesus' water, I handed the empty cup back to Jesus and He spoke these words, "Here you sit in all this salty water and you have nothing to drink." "I truly believe this book will be a conduit for impartation and also deep insight into the alignment of Scripture. Many believers who have been silent will be stirred into sharing their own personal times and experiences with the body of Christ."

Book Synopsis Our Identification with Christ's Sacrifice by : David D. Bergey
Download or read book Our Identification with Christ's Sacrifice written by David D. Bergey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we can accept the healing and forgiveness that Christ has accomplished for us? Grasping our "identification" we have with Christ can have a profound impact on our thinking. From my church background I knew "Jesus Saved." I had heard he died in my place, as a substitute. But I never heard that I was "identified with Christ"-utterly one with him in God's sight. In this short but powerful book we will consider: Where God has revealed identification throughout the Scriptures How "identification" was intrinsic to the Old Testament sacrifices How holy communion is a vivid object lesson of our "common-union" with Christ. In this identification, our sin, pain, and sickness were transferred to Christ, our substitute. He bore it all for us, so we do not have to. We can tap into the power of God when we take in the healing and forgiveness that Christ has accomplished for us.

Book Synopsis Sacrifice and National Belonging in Twentieth-Century Germany by : Marcus Funck
Download or read book Sacrifice and National Belonging in Twentieth-Century Germany written by Marcus Funck and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the 20th century, Germans from virtually all walks of life were touched by two problems: forging a sense of national community and coming to terms with widespread suffering. Arguably, no country in the modern Western world has been so closely associated with both inflicting and overcoming catastrophic misery in the name of national belonging. Within this context, the concept and ideal of "sacrifice" have played a pivotal role in recent German political culture. As the seven studies in this volume show, once the value of heroic national sacrifice was invoked during World War I to mobilize German soldiers and civilians, it proved to be a remarkably effective way to respond to a wide variety of social dislocations. How did the ideals of sacrifice play a role in constructing German nationalism? How did the Nazis use this idea to justify mass killing? What consequences did this have for postwar Germany? This volume opens up discussions about the history of 20th-century German political life.

Book Synopsis Children and Family in Late Antique Egyptian Monasticism by : Caroline T. Schroeder
Download or read book Children and Family in Late Antique Egyptian Monasticism written by Caroline T. Schroeder and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study of children in one of the birthplaces of early Christian monasticism, Egypt. Although comprised of men and women who had renounced sex and family, the monasteries of late antiquity raised children, educated them, and expected them to carry on their monastic lineage and legacies into the future. Children within monasteries existed in a liminal space, simultaneously vulnerable to the whims and abuses of adults and also cherished as potential future monastic prodigies. Caroline T. Schroeder examines diverse sources - letters, rules, saints' lives, art, and documentary evidence - to probe these paradoxes. In doing so, she demonstrates how early Egyptian monasteries provided an intergenerational continuity of social, cultural, and economic capital while also contesting the traditional family's claims to these forms of social continuity.
Book Synopsis Beyond Sacred Violence by : Kathryn McClymond
Download or read book Beyond Sacred Violence written by Kathryn McClymond and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-07-02 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argues that the modern Western world's reductive understanding of sacrifice simplifies an enormously broad and dynamic cluster of religious activities, drawing on a comparative study of Vedic and Jewish sacrificial practices to demonstrate not only that sacrifice has no single, essential, identifying characteristic, but also that the elements most frequently attributed to such acts--death and violence--are not universal.
Book Synopsis Sacrifice and Delight in the Mystical Theologies of Anna Maria van Schurman and Madame Jeanne Guyon by : Bo Karen Lee
Download or read book Sacrifice and Delight in the Mystical Theologies of Anna Maria van Schurman and Madame Jeanne Guyon written by Bo Karen Lee and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling study of two seventeenth-century female mystics, Bo Karen Lee examines the writings of Anna Maria van Schurman and Madame Jeanne Guyon, who, despite different religious formations, came to similar conclusions about the experience of God in contemplative prayer. Van Schurman was born into a Dutch Calvinist family and became a superb scriptural commentator before undergoing a dramatic religious conversion and joining the Labadist community, a Pietistic movement. Guyon was a French layperson whose thought would be identified with Quietism—a spiritual path that was looked upon with suspicion both by the French Catholic Church and by Rome. Lee analyzes and compares the themes of self-denial and self-annihilation in the writings of these two mystics. In van Schurman's case, the focus is on the distinction between scholastic knowledge of God and the intima notitia Dei accessible only by radical self-denial. In Guyon's case, it is on the union with God that is accessible only through a painful self-annihilation. For both authors, Lee demonstrates that the desire for enjoyment of God plays an important role as the engine of the soul's progress away from self-centeredness. The appendices offer facing Latin and English translations of two letters by van Schurman and a selection from her Eukleria.
Book Synopsis Aquinas's Summa Theologiae and Eucharistic Sacrifice in the Early Modern Period by : M. P. M. Lynch
Download or read book Aquinas's Summa Theologiae and Eucharistic Sacrifice in the Early Modern Period written by M. P. M. Lynch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is focused on the reception history of Thomas Aquinas' account of Eucharistic sacrifice during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Although the sacrificial character of the Eucharist has been of interest to theologians throughout the Church's history, during the early sixteenth century renewed attention was given to this subject, in part because of disputes that arose between Reformed and Catholic theologians about the relationship between the Eucharistic liturgy and Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Does the Eucharistic presence itself have a sacrificial quality? Can aspects of the liturgy or dimensions of the moral life be considered a sacrifice, and if so in what way? The emergence of these and other new questions in Eucharistic theology at the beginning of the sixteenth century coincided with a shift within the practice of theology in universities that began to emphasize Aquinas' Summa theologiae as the standard text of theological instruction, in place of Peter Lombard's Sentences. Because of the Summa's relatively late ascendency as a text of commentary and instruction, studying the Summa's reception history involves the interpreter in a complex textuality. Although itself a product of the middle ages, as a received text the Summa is in many ways a creature of the early modern period. Interpreting the reception of this text therefore requires one to consider not only the Summa in its original environment, but the life of this same text as it was received in new interpretive contexts.

Book Synopsis The Atonement by : William Lane Craig
Download or read book The Atonement written by William Lane Craig and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Christ's death overcome the estrangement and condemnation of sinners before a holy God, so as to reconcile them to Him? A great variety of theories of the atonement have been offered over the centuries to make sense of the fact that Christ by his death has provided the means of reconciliation with God: ransom theories, satisfaction theories, moral influence theories, penal substitution theories, and so on. Competing theories need to be assessed by (i) their accord with biblical data and (ii) their philosophical coherence.

Book Synopsis Blood-Bought World by : Toby Sumpter
Download or read book Blood-Bought World written by Toby Sumpter and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2016-03-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the Church is to rise up full of people who don't give a damn about the fleeting pleasures of this life and who care only for the glory of Jesus and His Kingdom, we must once again grasp what made Jesus so eminently killable. If Jesus had been born in our day, the council that condemned Him would have included a couple of well-known evangelical pastors, a few outspoken pro-life leaders, a conservative-libertarian-leaning politician, and at least one Bible-thumping fundamentalist. Jesus was murdered by church people, for churchy reasons. In Blood-Bought World, Toby J. Sumpter pinpoints the raw spots where modern-day Christians have allowed respectability, comfort, fear, love, fitness, authenticity, or other idols to become "fig leaves" to shield us from the Persons of the Trinity. We have relegated God to Sunday school presentations instead of following Jesus on the path to real authority and power: the cross. God's undiluted sovereignty demolishes every false human claim of autonomy. Men and women who know Jesus have no patience for a polite social club with religious jargon. The real Christian faith, delivered to God's people and driven by the Holy Spirit, is a wild, rambunctious, healing force set on the redemption of the world. That is what "being Christian" means: Hello, World! Jesus bought this place with His blood. Deal with it.
