Book Synopsis Rediscovering Romans 9 by : Scott Mitchell
Download or read book Rediscovering Romans 9 written by Scott Mitchell and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romans chapter 9 has become a dividing point between competing theologies for years. Calvinistic authors ground much of their interpretation of the Bible and understanding of God's nature and character from this particular chapter. Christians that are unaware of the theological traps they can fall into by blindly following Calvin's theological determinism can result in a distorted view of God's nature and character. The consequence of this is surely problematic when applying a predetermined view of God to the rest of the Bible that the Scriptures simply will not support. This has at times resulted in confusion among God's people through an inconsistent approach to the Bible, as attempts to harmonize the biblical themes cannot be accomplished through the lens of theological determinism. Rediscovering Romans 9 provides a sound and systematic approach to Bible study - Romans 9 in particular. The book challenges the Calvinistic interpretation of Romans 9, informs the reader of Calvinistic theology and answers nagging questions surrounding this wonderful and glorious chapter of Paul's epistle. Some history of Calvinism, a look into context, an examination of sound hermeneutics, and fundamental principles of logical thinking are all combined to bring the reader to a place where Romans 9 can be approached without deterministic bias. Romans 9 is a theological chapter that deserves the attention provided in this book. If you are investigating Calvinism and considering that theological direction, this book can be a tremendous help. If you are convinced Calvinistic determinism is how to approach the Bible, this book will test the soundness of your theology and challenge your position. Either way, the church needs a sound biblical view of Romans 9, since it reveals much of God's nature and character. All this can all be achieved by Rediscovering Romans 9.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work, Norman R. Petersen integrates contemporary literary-critical, sociological,and anthropological insights into the traditional arena of historical-critical methods. he demonstrates how these new approaches can be used to interpret biblical texts, especially Paul's letters. The Letter to Philemon serves as a case study. Yet Petersen focuses on the narrative world of Paul as well, for one cannot be truly understood without the other. This work articulates a sociology of letters, explores the social structures which underlie the social relations of the actors in Paul's world, and deals with the systems of belief, knowledge, and value that define the identities of these actors and motivate their actions. Here is cutting-edge scholarship.

Book Synopsis Paul’s Viewpoint on God, Israel, and the Gentiles in Romans 9–11 by : Xiaxia E. Xue
Download or read book Paul’s Viewpoint on God, Israel, and the Gentiles in Romans 9–11 written by Xiaxia E. Xue and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years Romans 9–11 has been investigated from a variety of approaches, with one of the most prominent being an intertextual reading. However, most discussions of intertextual studies on this section of Romans fail to adequately address Paul’s discourse patterns and that of his Jewish contemporaries with regard to God, Israel, and the Gentiles. Adapting Lemke’s linguistic intertextual thematic theory, this study uses a methodological control to analyze the discourse patterns in Romans 9–11. Through this analysis the author demonstrates the divergence of Paul’s viewpoints on several typical Jewish issues, which suggests that his discontinuities from his Jewish contemporaries are obvious and sometimes radical. It is apparent that Romans 9–11 not only provides a self-presentation of Paul as a Mosaic prophet figure, but overall it appears as a prophetic discourse, reinforcing the notion that Paul’s message comes from divine authority.
Book Synopsis Recanting Calvinism by : Steven L. Hitchcock
Download or read book Recanting Calvinism written by Steven L. Hitchcock and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why another book debating Calvinism? Calvinism and Arminianism are like two ships passing each other in the night. Neither side can understand the other's deeply felt conviction regarding what they believe is the most pivotal issue in the debate. How many times have both camps felt as though the other was speaking a foreign language as they hotly departed from one another? The debate has essentially always been about how a sinner can or cannot believe in Jesus. Calvinists assert that men are totally incapable of responding in faith and must first be the recipients of a superintending grace of God that effectually saves them before they exercise that faith that results in Justification. Arminians assert that men do possess an ability within themselves to believe in Jesus and that men do have freewill. The solution to this age-old debate is neither Calvinism nor Arminianism - the solution is Dynamism. Let there be no mistake, Recanting Calvinism is no defense of Arminianism. Man does not have freewill Man is totally depraved Man is completely dependant upon God Once saved, always saved God wants everyone to be saved Jesus died for everyone Man can believe without first being regenerated Faith determines salvation Steven and his wife Alison live in Perth, Western Australia, with their five children. For almost twenty years Steven was a Calvinist and has been a member of three Reformed Baptist Churches in the States and Australia. Steven has recanted Calvinism and is passionate that Evangelical Calvinists might do the same for a Dynamic Gospel. Steven is a dual citizen of the U.S.A. and Australia and has a B.A. in Speech Communications (U.S.A.) and a Bachelor of Theology from the Australian College of Theology (An Australian BTh is equivalent to a MDiv in the U.S.A.).
Book Synopsis Getting the Gospel Right - A Balanced View of Salvation Truth by : Carl Gordon Olson
Download or read book Getting the Gospel Right - A Balanced View of Salvation Truth written by Carl Gordon Olson and published by Global Gospel Publishers. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised and abridged edition of Beyond Calvinism and Arminianism: An Inductive Mediate Theologyof Salvation, in Which theologian/missiologist Olson gives the fruit of a 25-year theological pilgrimage. His inductive focus on Scripture results in a middle view of salvation truth, thus resolving polarized extremes. This edition is much more readable and accessible for most Christians. The exegetical methodology emphasizes context, word studies, and grammar of all relevant passages, with extensive support for eternal security and refutation of deterministic concepts of salvation. In the foreword, Dr. Tim LaHaye refers to the incredible distribution of the academic edition, which sold out in 3 years. A revised academic edition is forthcoming in 2006.
Book Synopsis Rediscovering the Ministry of Blessing by : Russ Parker
Download or read book Rediscovering the Ministry of Blessing written by Russ Parker and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible teaches us', Russ Parker writes, 'that blessing is a unique ministry resource gifted to believers to effect the purposes of God in peoples' lives.' In this enthralling book, the author tells of situations of family estrangement, depression and chronic illness; of times of hopelessness and helplessness where miraculous transformation has been wrought through calling on God to bless someone with the richest blessing they are able to receive. As he has travelled the country teaching on the ministry of blessing, Russ has seen an enthusiastic response and uptake, especially amongst those involved in prayer ministry. He believes it is time for all who want to be part of God's renewal - both in church and through reaching out to the wider community - to consider how we might help others to flourish as the people God has called them to be. 'Russ Parker's ground breaking work on healing community history will be so helpful to churches. It has greatly helped me.' The Rt Revd Graeme Dow, former Bishop of Carlisle

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often, the Christian understanding of salvation has been one-dimensional, reducing all that God has done for us to a single conception or idea. Tom Greggs, one of today's leading theologians, offers a brief, accessibly written, but theologically substantive treatment of the doctrine of salvation. Drawing on the broad tradition of the church and the Christian faith in explaining the Christian understandings of salvation, Greggs challenges the contemporary church to be captured afresh by the immeasurable height, depth, and breadth of God's saving actions.

Book Synopsis Against Calvinism by : Roger E. Olson
Download or read book Against Calvinism written by Roger E. Olson and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calvinist theology has been debated and promoted for centuries. But is it a theology that should last? Roger Olson suggests that Calvinism, also commonly known as Reformed theology, holds an unwarranted place in our list of accepted theologies. In Against Calvinism, readers will find scholarly arguments explaining why Calvinist theology is incorrect and how it affects God’s reputation. Olson draws on a variety of sources, including Scripture, reason, tradition, and experience, to support his critique of Calvinism and the more historically rich, biblically faithful alternative theologies he proposes. Addressing what many evangelical Christians are concerned about today—so-called “new Calvinism,” a movement embraced by a generation labeled as “young, restless, Reformed” —Against Calvinism is the only book of its kind to offer objections from a non-Calvinist perspective to the current wave of Calvinism among Christian youth. As a companion to Michael Horton’s For Calvinism, readers will be able to compare contrasting perspectives and form their own opinions on the merits and weaknesses of Calvinism.

Book Synopsis Rediscovering the Holy Spirit by : Michael Horton
Download or read book Rediscovering the Holy Spirit written by Michael Horton and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Spirit, being somewhat forgotten is an occupational hazard. The Holy Spirit is so actively involved in our lives that we can take his presence for granted. As they say, familiarity breeds contempt. Just as we take breathing for granted, we can take the Holy Spirit for granted simply because we constantly depend on him. Like the cane that soon feels like an extension of the blind man’s own body, we too easily begin to think of the Holy Spirit as an extension of ourselves. Yet the Spirit is at the center of the action in the divine drama from Genesis 1:2 all the way to Revelation 22:17. The Spirit’s work is as essential as the Father’s and the Son’s, yet the Spirit’s work is always directed to the person and work of Christ. In fact, the efficacy of the Holy Spirit’s mission is measured by the extent to which we are focused on Christ. The Holy Spirit is the person of the Trinity who brings the work of the Father, in the Son, to completion. In everything that the Triune God performs, this perfecting work is characteristic of the Spirit. In Rediscovering the Holy Spirit, author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton introduces readers to the neglected person of the Holy Spirit, showing that the work of God’s Spirit is far more ordinary and common than we realize. Horton argues that we need to take a step back every now and again to focus on the Spirit himself—his person and work—in order to recognize him as someone other than Jesus or ourselves, much less something in creation. Through this contemplation we can gain a fresh dependence on the Holy Spirit in every area of our lives.
