Book Synopsis The Great Tribulation by : George Gutchess
Download or read book The Great Tribulation written by George Gutchess and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Bible teachers today are proclaiming that Christ will come at any moment to take the Christians to heaven, leaving the non-Christians behind to endure seven years of great tribulation. Others teach that Christ came spiritually in AD 70, when the city of Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. Is there any other view? Here is an older interpretation that was commonly held before those which prevail today. The first part of The Great Tribulation is a verse-by-verse commentary on Matthew 24 written in readable, nontechnical style. The second part of the book contains nine articles related to the second coming of Christ and end-time events. The Great Tribulation provides insight on these questions: What does Matthew 24 really teach? Will Christs coming be in two stages? Does Daniel teach that there will be a seven-year tribulation? Who is the antichrist, and will he appear in a rebuilt temple? What is the abomination of desolation? Was the kingdom of God postponed? Will there be a thousand-year period called the millennium? Will some be taken and others left behind? What is the generation that Christ spoke of that is going to see it all?
Book Synopsis The Quest for the Plausible Jesus by : Gerd Theissen
Download or read book The Quest for the Plausible Jesus written by Gerd Theissen and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should the dissimilarity between Jesus and early Christianity or between Jesus and Judaism be the central criteria for the historical Jesus? Gerd Theissen and Dagmar Winter argue that the criterion of dissimilarity does not do justice to the single most important result of more than two-hundred years of Jesus research: that the historical Jesus belongs to both Judaism and Christianity. The two authors propose a criterion of historical plausibility so that historical phenomenon under question can be considered authentic so long as it can be plausibly understood in its Jewish context and also facilitates a plausible explanation for its later effects in Christian history. This book is a cooperative project between Dagmar Winter and Gerd Theissen and represents the fruit of many years of their research on the historical Jesus.
Book Synopsis A New Vision for Israel by : Scot McKnight
Download or read book A New Vision for Israel written by Scot McKnight and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important development in recent historical Jesus studies is the attempt to understand the ministry of Jesus in "political" terms. In calling the nation of Israel to repentance, Jesus served as a national prophet concerned with the salvation of Israel. Scot McKnight furthers this line of inquiry by showing how Jesus' teachings are to be understood in relation to his role as a political figure. McKnight looks closely at Jesus' teachings on God, the kingdom, and ethics, demonstrating in each case how Jesus' mission to restore Israel brings his teachings into a bold new light.
Book Synopsis Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist by : Brant Pitre
Download or read book Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist written by Brant Pitre and published by Image. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory exploration of the Jewish roots of the Last Supper that seeks to understand exactly what happened at Jesus’ final Passover. “Clear, profound and practical—you do not want to miss this book.”—Dr. Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb’s Supper and The Fourth Cup Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as: What was the Passover like at the time of Jesus? What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah? What was Jesus’ purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover? And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, “This is my body… This is my blood”? To answer these questions, Pitre explores ancient Jewish beliefs about the Passover of the Messiah, the miraculous Manna from heaven, and the mysterious Bread of the Presence. As he shows, these three keys—the Passover, the Manna, and the Bread of the Presence—have the power to unlock the original meaning of the Eucharistic words of Jesus. Along the way, Pitre also explains how Jesus united the Last Supper to his death on Good Friday and his Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus’ presence in “the breaking of the bread.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sequel to The End Times Passover [Why Christians Will Suffer Great Tribulation] biblically proves why Gods true disciples will experience great tribulation, and will have to remain on earth awaiting the return of Jesus Christ. Most evangelical Christians believe in The Rapture, they just dont know if its going to be a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, or a Mid or Post Tribulation Rapture. Regardless, many evangelicals believe the Rapture is right around the corner. They believe that Armageddon is knocking at the door. The crisis and battles for territorial rights in the Middle East, the outbreak of Holy Wars and terrorism throughout the world, have most evangelicals convinced the end is near! But, they arent worried because their hopes lie in The Rapture; a unique event where they believe Jesus Christ will return to earth and snatch them secretly up to heaven while all hell breaks loose on earth! But, what would happen if there wasnt going to be a Rapture? What would happen if all of those stories they have been hearing and reading about not being Left Behind were nothing but sheer lies? Would that concern them? Are they prepared to experience great tribulation? This sequel to The End Times Passover (Why Christians Will Suffer Great Tribulation) biblically proves why Gods true disciples will experience horrible persecution while awaiting the final return of Jesus Christ. However, many of these brave disciples will be found preaching the gospel as never before, regardless of the price! Millions of themmay even be slaughtered, but they will die for Christ the way He died for them! This may not sound like Good News; but its absolutely true! Check out the reasons why!
Book Synopsis The Time of the End: The 10 Year Tribulation Period and The Conditional Rapture of Tribulation Saints by : Matthew S Crane
Download or read book The Time of the End: The 10 Year Tribulation Period and The Conditional Rapture of Tribulation Saints written by Matthew S Crane and published by Matthew S Crane. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most popular and hotly debated topics in recent years has been the subject of what is commonly called “The Tribulation Period”. Theories, speculations, and predictions abound as to when this apocalyptic time begins and who will be a part of it. Some Bible teachers insist that Christians who have been born again during the “Church Age” will have no part whatsoever in this time while others teach that it is the Church’s prophesied destiny to endure to the end and wait for the cataclysmic 2nd coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Which one is right? Which one is wrong? The one thing that all current theories seem to have in common is an abundance of inconsistencies and missing pieces. This book seeks to explain many of the obscure passages in Scripture that seem to have been misunderstood and misapplied for the last two thousand years and bring to light a couple of important truths that have been right in front of us all along, which when properly understood, bring consistency to the puzzle of prophecy and causes many of the hitherto difficult pieces to fit.

Download or read book The Case for Jesus written by Brant Pitre and published by Image. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book will prove to be a most effective weapon… against the debunking and skeptical attitudes toward the Gospels that are so prevalent, not only in academe, but also on the street, among young people who, sadly, are leaving the Churches in droves.” – Robert Barron, author of Catholicism For well over a hundred years now, many scholars have questioned the historical truth of the Gospels, claiming that they were originally anonymous. Others have even argued that Jesus of Nazareth did not think he was God and never claimed to be divine. In The Case for Jesus, Dr. Brant Pitre, the bestselling author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, goes back to the sources—the biblical and historical evidence for Christ—in order to answer several key questions, including: • Were the four Gospels really anonymous? • Are the Gospels folklore? Or are they biographies? • Were the four Gospels written too late to be reliable? • What about the so-called “Lost Gospels,” such as “Q” and the Gospel of Thomas? • Did Jesus claim to be God? • Is Jesus divine in all four Gospels? Or only in John? • Did Jesus fulfill the Jewish prophecies of the Messiah? • Why was Jesus crucified? • What is the evidence for the Resurrection? As The Case for Jesus will show, recent discoveries in New Testament scholarship, as well as neglected evidence from ancient manuscripts and the early church fathers, together have the potential to pull the rug out from under a century of skepticism toward the traditional Gospels. Above all, Pitre shows how the divine claims of Jesus of Nazareth can only be understood by putting them in their ancient Jewish context.
Book Synopsis Reconfiguring Thomistic Christology by : Matthew Levering
Download or read book Reconfiguring Thomistic Christology written by Matthew Levering and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Matthew Levering unites eschatologically charged biblical Christology with metaphysical and dogmatic Thomistic Christology, by highlighting the typological Christologies shared by Scripture, the Church Fathers, and Aquinas. Like the Church Fathers, Aquinas often reflected upon Jesus in typological terms (especially in his biblical commentaries), just as the New Testament does. Showing the connections between New Testament, Patristic, and Aquinas' own typological portraits of Jesus, Levering reveals how the eschatological Jesus of biblical scholarship can be integrated with Thomistic Christology. His study produces a fully contemporary Thomistic Christology that unites ressourcement and Thomistic modes of theological inquiry, thereby bridging two schools of contemporary theology that too often are imagined as rivals. Levering's book reflects and augments the current resurgence of Thomistic Christology as an ecumenical project of relevance to all Christians.
Book Synopsis The Tribulation Story by : Greg Hinnant
Download or read book The Tribulation Story written by Greg Hinnant and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: describes in clear, chronological order the unforgettable people and events of the Tribulation, seven years biblically prophesied to complete Israel’s and the world’s histories (Revelation 6-19). This unique, biblical epic offers striking contrasts: monstrous despots and heroic believers, fearful judgments and rapturous rescues, false prophets and true witnesses, filthy harlots and pure brides, hell’s worst and heaven’s best?a titanic, relentless struggle between God and Satan through human agents unresolved till the last hour of the last day. For seven years the world will experience increasingly frequent and intense birth pangs until, at last, a new, enduring, righteous world order emerges reborn from the ashes of the old—the visible kingdom of Jesus Christ! On this earth! For a thousand years! But before that warm, brilliant Son-rise, cold, dark wonders are predetermined, so unprecedented, so shocking, so outsized, so fantastic they seem utterly incredible. Yet, oracles of God, they are utterly credible, certain, and near. With signs of the times everywhere, with its clear biblical instructions for spiritual readiness, is extraordinarily timely. And compelling! It will grip your attention and keep you reading until you fully understand the Tribulation and how to escape it. Book Review 1: “Without a doubt, people are sensing that our world is under the sway of biblical end time prophecies. Recent events have driven people to reconsider these 'signs of the times' and take a fresh look at what the Bible says regarding these events. In The Tribulation Story, Greg Hinnant’s passion and scholarship really shines. Many Christians today are woefully uneducated and ignorant of even basic eschatology and the relevance of its impact for our lives. I’m grateful Greg has produced a well-written and well-researched work for both those new to the faith and for veteran believers. I found it to be an excellent and accurate overview of the Book of Revelation. The Tribulation Story is inspiring, enlightening and most importantly, biblically sound. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in God’s plan for the ages!” —Dr. Randal S. Langley, President / CEO, Christian Life School of Theology Global Book Review 2: “The Tribulation Story is a unique chronology of the events prophesied in the Book of Revelation. Greg Hinnant has not only given us a book of in-depth information, he has given us a book of deep Holy Spirit revelation that carries life-changing impartation! It is impossible for anyone, Christian or non-Christian, to read this amazing work and not experience a deep emotional reaction and spiritual resonance in their heart. It will ‘connect the dots’ for many people who have never really understood the Book of Revelation before.” —Dr. John Shiver, John Shiver Ministries Book Review 3: “The Tribulation Story vividly details the horrors of the coming Tribulation period. It is not only based on the Book of Revelation, but also makes extensive use of Old and New Testament Scriptures, including those of many prophets who foresaw this coming time. Jesus challenged Christians to be wise, worthy, watching, faithful, and ready at all times for His return. This book encourages us to learn to more persistently overcome our smaller ‘tribulations’—with God’s grace—in order to be ready to be raptured away to heaven and thereby avoid the Tribulation.” —Dr. Ernst Lutz, Ph.D. Switzerland Book Review 4: "While The Tribulation Story does not purport to identify precisely the ‘when’ of Christ’s return, it does affirm that the events described in the Book of Revelation are an impending, awesome reality for our generation. Hence, The Tribulation Story is not written to explain prophecy for some distant future, but for our present time. The poignant description of coming events lends assurance to the faithful that God is both sovereign and merciful while beseeching the unfaithful to bow their knee only to the Lord Jesus as the ultimate Victor and King. This book is a call for preparation in the ‘here and now.’" —Dr. Ran Whitley, D.Min., Ph.D., Professor, Alma Dark Howard Chair of Church Music, Campbell University
Book Synopsis Jesus the Bridegroom by : Brant James Pitre
Download or read book Jesus the Bridegroom written by Brant James Pitre and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jesus the Bridegroom, Brant Pitre once again taps into the wells of Jewish Scripture and tradition, and unlocks the secrets of what is arguably the most well-known symbol of the Christian faith: the cross of Christ. In this thrilling exploration, Pitre shows how the suffering and death of Jesus was far more than a tragic Roman execution. Instead, the Passion of Christ was the fulfillment of ancient Jewish prophecies of a wedding, when the God of the universe would wed himself to humankind in an everlasting nuptial covenant. To be sure, most Christians are familiar with the apostle Paul's teaching that Christ is the 'Bridegroom' and the Church is the 'Bride'. But what does this really mean? And what would ever possess Paul to compare the death of Christ to the love of a husband for his wife? If you would have been at the Crucifixion, with Jesus hanging there dying, is that how you would have described it? How could a first-century Jew like Paul, who knew how brutal Roman crucifixions were, have ever compared the execution of Jesus to a wedding? And why does he refer to this as the "great mystery" (Ephesians 5:32)? As Pitre shows, the key to unlocking this mystery can be found by going back to Jewish Scripture and tradition and seeing the entire history of salvation, from Mount Sinai to Mount Calvary, as a divine love story between Creator and creature, between God and Israel, between Christ and his bride--a story that comes to its climax on the wood of a Roman cross. In the pages of Jesus the Bridegroom, dozens of familiar passages in the Bible--the Exodus, the Song of Songs, the Wedding at Cana, the Woman at the Well, the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and even the Second Coming at the End of Time--are suddenly transformed before our eyes. Indeed, when seen in the light of Jewish Scripture and tradition, the life of Christ is nothing less than the greatest love story ever told.
Book Synopsis The End of the Ages Has Come by : Dale Allison
Download or read book The End of the Ages Has Come written by Dale Allison and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How does one explain the New Testament texts that seem to announce the imminent arrival of the long-awaited Day of the Lord? In this study, Dale Allison presents a comprehensive analysis of the first-century beliefs about the period of suffering and tribulation which was to precede the general resurrection of the dead. Although such beliefs were not uncommon, they heave received little attention from New Testament scholars. Dr. Allison argues that they provided the conceptual tools that allowed New Testament writers to make sense of the death and resurrection of Jesus, without abandoning altogether Jesus' own messianic expectations and belief in some imminent radical change. Dr. Allison shows that the realized eschatology of the Gospels is not, as is so often thought, the product of Jesus' own teaching and preaching. Rather, it stems from the reflection of the earliest Christian communities on the death of Jesus, in the light of his belief in a imminent End. Dr. Allison offers a stimulating and detailed account of the teaching of Jesus and of the New Testament records of the passion and resurrection of Jesus. He concludes his study with an important discussion of the way this process of reflection has continued throughout Christian history and indeed how it continues to influence Christian thinking today.
