Book excerpt: Renowned pastor-theologian Gregory A. Boyd tackles the BibleÕs biggest dilemma. Ê The Old Testament God of wrath and violence versus the New Testament God of love and peaceÑitÕs a difference that has troubled Christians since the first century. Now, with the sensitivity of a pastor and the intellect of a theologian, Gregory A. Boyd proposes the Òcruciform hermeneutic,Ó a way to read the Old Testament portraits of God through the lens of JesusÕ crucifixion. Ê In Cross Vision, Boyd follows up on his epic and groundbreaking study, The Crucifixion of the Warrior God. He shows how the death and resurrection of Jesus reframes the troubling violence of the Old Testament, how all of Scripture reveals GodÕs self-sacrificial love, and, most importantly, how we can follow JesusÕ example of peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dramatic tension confronts every Christian believer and interpreter of Scripture: on the one hand, we encounter images of God commanding and engaging in horrendous violence: one the other hand, we encounter the non-violent teachings and example of Jesus, whose loving, self-sacrificial death and resurrection is held up as the supreme revelation of God’s character in the New Testament. How do we reconcile the tension between these seemingly disparate depictions? Are they even capable of reconciliation? Throughout Christian history, many different answers have been proposed, ranging from the long-rejected explanation that these contrasting depictions are of two entirely different ‘gods’ to recent social and cultural theories of metaphor and narrative representation. The Crucifixion of the Warrior God takes up this dramatic tension and the range of proposed answers in an epic constructive investigation. Over two volumes, renowned theologian and biblical scholar Gregory A. Boyd argues that we must take seriously the full range of Scripture as inspired, including its violent depictions of God. At the same time, we must take just as seriously the absolute centrality of the crucified and risen Christ as the supreme revelation of God. Developing a theological interpretation of Scripture that he labels a “cruciform hermeneutic,” Boyd demonstrates how Scripture’s violent images of God are completely reframed and their violence subverted when they are interpreted through the lens of the cross and resurrection. Indeed, when read through this lens, Boyd argues that these violent depictions can be shown to bear witness to the same self-sacrificial character of God that was supremely revealed on the cross.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've heard about the child sacrifice, forced cannibalism, and mass murder. Now get the rest of the story.

This book will strengthen your faith and equip you to defend it at the same time. End your struggle to appreciate the God of the Old Testament today.

"In the first six pages of his new book, Matthew Curtis Fleischer describes the problem of divine violence in the Old Testament as well as anyone ever has. In the following 200-plus pages, he offers Christians committed to biblical authority an intelligent and humane way of interpreting those passages, leading humanity from violence to nonviolence in the way of Jesus. Fleischer is an attorney, and he makes his case with clarity that would win over any unbiased jury." - Brian D. McLaren, author of The Great Spiritual Migration--Amazon.prime.

Book excerpt: My reasons for treating the Pentateuch topically rather than textually will be obvious. Criticism on the original text is rarely needed. There is seldom the least occasion to aid the reader in following the line of thought or the course of argument. The demand here is rather for the discussion and due presentation of the great themes of the book. My plan has therefore aimed to meet this demand, discussing these themes critically so far as seemed necessary either because of their intrinsic nature or because of popular objections or misconceptions; and always practically so far forth as to show the important moral bearings of these themes as revelations of God to man. It has been, however, my purpose to explain all the difficult, doubtful, or controversial passages. ... from the Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Pentateuch, in Its Progressive Revelations of God to Men" by Henry Cowles is a beautiful example of late 19th-century religious work. Reverend Cowles shows his expertise by starting a discussion of the Pentateuch. Though his aim wasn't to critique this religious work, but rather to weave an argument for discussion around it, it's still hard not to look at this work as an early example of biblical evaluation. Works of this kind are normal now, but at the time this book marked a progressive direction in the way people talked about religion, making it all the better that the book was preserved.

"Raymond Carver's America is ... clouded by pain and the loss of dreams, but it is not as fragile as it looks. It is a place of survivors and a place of stories.... [Carver] has done what many of the most gifted writers fail to do: He has invented a country of his own, like no other except that very world, as Wordsworth said, which is the world to all of us." —The New York Times Book Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the fundamental questions that millions have asked throughout mankinds history are the following: If God exists, who is he, how can I know him, is it possible to imagine him, and how can I talk to Him? Is God another of our mental categories and therefore a product of our imagination, a figment of our brain chemistry, or does God really exist and has communicated with us in a verifiable and objective manner revealing to us who he really is? If such communication has already occurred, then in what manner has it happened? If it already occurred, what has God revealed about himself that helps us understand who he is? What is his ultimate essence? We hope the reflections presented in this book will provide a satisfactory answer that fills our daily pilgrimage with optimism until we attain the presence of our Creator.

Download or read book Searching Below the Surface written by Nakhati Jon and published by Nakhati Media. This book was released on 2022-03-11 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all want to know how the God of the Bible differs from the Islamic Allah. How does a covenant-keeping God interact in the divine-human relationship? In what ways does a contract-demanding Allah vary from biblical truth? This comparative religious exploration will equip Christians to clarify the difference. Searching Below the Surface: A Deeper look at Covenant and Contract prepares the reader to present biblical truths by exposing Muslim ideas. The book unearths the often-unseen perspectives of a covenant God called Yahweh and a deity prone to contract, Allah. The book seeks to answer these questions: How does Yahweh’s Oneness promote covenant understanding? How do Muslims define the Absolute Oneness of Allah? How do the Creation accounts in the Bible and Quran reflect theology? In what ways does Islam ignore a covenant ethos? What are the implications of covenant and contract when applied to marriage? Since covenant marriage patterns divine oneness in how spouses relate and share sacrificially, this mode of marriage mirrors the character of the biblical God. Marriage in the Bible reflects a relationship found in the divine Godhead and how he interacts with believers. “Nakhati Jon skillfully searches below the surface to understand the roots of the thinking of our Muslim friends and neighbors, and Christians” Patrick Cate, Ph.D. In a covenant marriage, the husband and wife become one, which means more than physical oneness but a mystical, spiritual unity that reflects the Trinity of Oneness! Nakhati Jon Oneness describes the Islamic idea concerning deity but undermines the ideas of Islamic marriage. Nakhati Jon Excerpt: On another scorching, sweltering day in Central Asia, we traveled to the capital in our rented taxi. As per custom, my wife sat in the back with our kids while I sat in the front, chatting with the driver. Dust and welcome air flew in through the open windows, and we talked loudly to drown out the wind. Then, the inevitable conversation began: Driver: Central Asian women are beautiful, aren’t they? (My back prickled in response to my wife’s almost-palpable eye-roll.) Me: My wife is beautiful. Driver: You should get a second wife. (I felt my wife rethinking pacifism.) Me: (Emphatically) God is one! Therefore, I will have only one wife! Driver: Oh—this is true! (Pause) Does your wife speak the language? Me: Fluently. And she doesn’t like what you’re saying. Years later, my wife confessed she had ignored the illogic of the “One God/one wife” statement in return for its success as a conversation-stopper. But in researching, I happily discovered my shot at philosophy had been logical after all. In fact, my bit of accidental wisdom carried foundational truths about Yahweh’s nature, his relationship with man, and his plan for marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller! In Finding Jesus in the Old Testament, David Limbaugh unlocks the mysteries of the Old Testament and reveals hints of Jesus Christ's arrival through all thirty-nine Old Testament books. The key to the secrets of the Old Testament, Limbaugh argues, is the crucial New Testament encounter between the risen Jesus and two travelers on the road to Emmaus. With that key, and with Limbaugh as a deft guide, readers of Finding Jesus in the Old Testament will come to a startling new understanding of the Old Testament as a clear and powerful heralding of Jesus Christ's arrival. Limbaugh takes readers on a revealing journey from Genesis through Malachi, demonstrating that a consistent message courses through every one of the Old Testament's thirty-nine books: the power, wonder, and everlasting love of Jesus Christ. Previously published under the title The Emmaus Code.
