Book Synopsis The Power of Parable by : John Dominic Crossan
Download or read book The Power of Parable written by John Dominic Crossan and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969, I was teaching at two seminaries inthe Chicago area. One of my courses wason the parables by Jesus and the other wason the resurrection stories about Jesus. I hadobserved that the parabolic stories by Jesusseemed remarkably similar to the resurrectionstories about Jesus. Were the latter intended asparables just as much as the former? Had webeen reading parable, presuming history, andmisunderstanding both? —from The Power of Parable So begins the quest of renowned Jesus scholarJohn Dominic Crossan as he unlocks the truemeanings and purposes of parable in the Bible sothat modern Christians can respond genuinely toJesus's call to fully participate in the kingdom ofGod. In The Power of Parable, Crossan examinesJesus's parables and identifies what he calls the"challenge parable" as Jesus's chosen teaching toolfor gently urging his followers to probe, question,and debate the ideological absolutes of religiousfaith and the presuppositions of social, political,and economic traditions. Moving from parables by Jesus to parables aboutJesus, Crossan then presents the four gospels as"megaparables." By revealing how the gospels arenot reflections of the actual biography of Jesus butrather (mis)interpretations by the gospel writersthemselves, Crossan reaffirms the power of parablesto challenge and enable us to co-create withGod a world of justice, love, and peace.
Book Synopsis Biblical Parables and Their Modern Re-creations by : Gila Safran Naveh
Download or read book Biblical Parables and Their Modern Re-creations written by Gila Safran Naveh and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Biblical Parables and Their Modern Re-creations, Gila Safran Naveh carefully charts the historical transformation of these deceptively simple narratives to reveal fundamental shifts in their form, function, and most significantly, their readers' cognitive processes. Bringing together for the first time parables from the Scriptures, the synoptic Gospels, Chassidic tales, and medieval philosophy with the mashal, the rabbinic parables commonly used to interpret Scripture, this book brilliantly contrasts the rhetorical strategies of ancient parables with more recent examples of the genre by Kafka, Borges, Calvino, and Agnon. By using an interdisciplinary approach and insights from current semiotic, linguistic, psychoanalytic, and gender theories, Naveh reveals a dramatic social, cultural, and political shift in the way we view the divine.
Book Synopsis The Parables by : Dr. Paul Simpson Duke
Download or read book The Parables written by Dr. Paul Simpson Duke and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many resources have been written to offer assistance in exploring and understanding the lectionary texts for the purpose of preaching. However, few have sought to provide this kind of preaching commentary on texts that do not follow the lectionary's grouping. For those whose preaching does not customarily follow the lectionary, and for those who depart from the lectionary text during certain periods of the year, little guidance has been offered for how to select, and preach on, important biblical texts. The Parables: A Preaching Commentary, the third book in The Great Texts series, gives guidance to preachers on preaching about this central part of faith. The principles by which volumes in The Great Texts series have been chosen are primarily two-fold: -Thematic: Texts on certain overarching themes or ideas of the Christian faith are brought together. -Biblical/traditional: Texts have long been recognized as belonging together, and as being particularly beneficial to the work of preaching.

Book Synopsis The Hasidic Parable by : Aryeh Wineman
Download or read book The Hasidic Parable written by Aryeh Wineman and published by Jewish Publication Society. This book was released on 2001-05-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The teachers of Hasidism gave new life to the literary tradition of parable, a story that teaches a spiritual or moral truth. In The Hasidic Parable, acclaimed author Aryeh Wineman takes readers through the great works of the hasidic storytellers. Telling parables, explains Rabbi Wineman, was a strategy that the hasidic masters used to foster a radical shift in thinking about God, the world, and the values and norms of religious life. Although these parables date back 200 years or more, they deal with moral and religious themes and issues still relevant today. Each is accompanied by notes and commentary by the author that illuminate their ideological significance and their historical roots and background. These parables have been culled from classical hasidic homiletic texts, chosen because of their literary qualities, their explanation of key concepts in the hasidic world-view, and also because of what they say to us about the conflicts and tensions accompanying Hasidism's emergence and growth.
Book Synopsis The Nature of Grace; Ponderings on God's Abundant Grace by : Linda Elmore Teeple
Download or read book The Nature of Grace; Ponderings on God's Abundant Grace written by Linda Elmore Teeple and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phillip Yancey says that "every writer has one main theme, a spoor that he or she keeps sniffing around, tracking, following it to its source." My spoor is "grace," states Linda Teeple, author of The Nature of Grace: Ponderings On God's Abundant Grace. "I write about Grace because I want everyone to 'get' grace. There's a life-changing difference between understanding grace at the head level and experiencing grace at the heart level. God continually reminds me of his grace through nature--the nature of the great outdoors, the nature of the human heart, and the nature of relationships." Linda is a marriage and family therapist by vocation and a naturalist by avocation. She resides in Anderson, Indiana with her husband and her canine companions, Panda and Leader Dog puppy, Faith. Linda writes a weekly newspaper column entitled, "The Nature of Grace," which can be viewed at http: //www.heraldbulletin.com.
Download or read book Parable Axis written by Jose Alvarenga and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invisible axis which makes us unaware of a constant rotation, has been from time to time, an enigma that hides the twists and turns between day and night. All what is left now is a parable, a parable that surges from the zenith of a horizon where the blue of the heavens gets lost with the blue of the seas. Thus, since the beginning, when the light first shone in the cosmos, the word was meaningful, full of grace, salvation and joy. Then, with the arrival of chaos, and as the force of darkness swept the void, everything became an enigma, a riddle for humanity to choose a path beyond good and evil. Now, there is only confusion, and the vestiges of fragments left in the literature of history, philosophy, poetry, religion and science. Like orphans and widows, we follow echoes and simulations of a place that used to be home.

Book Synopsis A Parable and a Warning by : Michael O'Sheasy
Download or read book A Parable and a Warning written by Michael O'Sheasy and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-04-24 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A parable is a simple story used to illustrate a lesson for a bigger issue. Oftentimes, a big issue appears so complex and of such a longtime duration that we ignore it or fail to fully comprehend it despite what may be its basic simplicity. A parable can enable a big issue to be understood with a plain, simple story. This parable is based upon three diverse families marooned together on a deserted island. Will they be rescued? If not and it slowly becomes apparent to them, will they be able to sustain and survive indefinitely by adequately sacrificing today and living for both today and tomorrow? As you will see, many isolated civilizations have not been able to do so, indefinitely resorting to suicide, cannibalism, and self-destruction. Even many civilizations not isolated have collapsed when unable to adjust to the simplest problems as seen with these three families. Will they find meaning to live on this deserted island? Will these three families live together cooperatively and unselfishly to obtain and maintain their resources for their survival today and plan for a sustainable tomorrow? Will Darwin's survival of the fittest dominate? Will they resort to population control, employing voluntary contraception (abstinence), castration, induced abortion, delaying marriage beyond fertility, or infanticide? Do they maintain monogamy? Importantly for us, does this parable of limited resources portend a dire future for our country if we live for today while using what we can borrow from our future resources while knowing that the debt must be repaid tomorrow? Will a pervasive spending today of what we borrow from our future create rampant inflation that is disproportionately harming middle- and lower-income classes? Unfortunately, many of those who govern our country find this very difficult not to do so. Yet we, Americans, must constrain our spending today, or we may be on a path of self-destruction like our islanders could be. Will there be a happy ending? You decide. “Suggestion to layout: Several adults and teenagers walking ashore onto a deserted island in the South Pacific with a passenger ship sailing off into the distance.”

Suddenly, Slade has inherited half of Whisper Creek Ranch, one of the most prosperous in Parable County. That doesn't sit well with his half-brother, Hutch, who grew up with all the rights of a Carmody, including the affections of Joslyn Kirk, homecoming queen, rodeo queen, beauty queen—and the girl Slade's never forgotten. Along with a town to protect, Slade already has his hands full but Joslyn is hard to ignore… Previously published. Big Sky Mountain With his rugged good looks, vast wealth and family name, hell-raiser Hutch Carmody is still the golden boy of Parable, Montana. But he’s done some growing up—making peace with his illegitimate half-brother and inheriting half of Whisper Creek Ranch, which should have been all his. And these days, Hutch knows there are some things money can’t buy: like the heart of loving divorcée Kendra Shepherd. Then again, even the most unlikely dreams can come true under the vast Montana sky. Previously published. Big Sky River Sheriff Boone Taylor has two kids he adores, his job, a run-down but decent ranch, two faithful dogs and a good horse. He doesn’t want romance—the widowed Montanan has loved and lost enough for a lifetime. But when city girl, Tara Kendall, buys the spread next door, Boone’s peace and quiet are in serious jeopardy. Life along Big Sky River is full of surprises…like a cowboy-lawman who just might start to believe in second chances. Previously published.

Download or read book Alien Parable written by Khezla Durr and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantasy science fiction with a strong New Age flavour, and an original conspiracy theory. A compelling first person narrative told from the perspective of an alien who has relocated to this planet. It ends with a warning of a kidnap to come, and an emotional plea to the readers to help save the planet by means of a unique action. The book begins with a description of the author's life on another planet, the reason for exile, and subsequent search for a new home, with the reason for settling here. It then follows with descriptions of experiences on this planet, as well as detailed information about some spiritual development techniques, and related experiences. The book then presents conclusions, some controversial, drawn from observations and presents the conspiracy theory. It ends with the warning of a kidnap to come which will have global political consequences, and an emotional plea to the readers to help prevent it. Since much of the book is written in a symbolic way, figuring out the groups of people to which reference is made can be a brain teaser.
