Book Synopsis Between the Testaments by : Robert C. Jones
Download or read book Between the Testaments written by Robert C. Jones and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period between the Old and New Testaments lasted from about 430 B.C. until the time of Jesus. Ancient historian Flavius Josephus tells us that during that period, there were three Jewish "sects" or religious parties - the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes. We know quite a bit about the three sects from various ancient sources, including the New Testament, the aforementioned Josephus, Pliny the Elder, and Philo of Alexandria. The story of these three sects is presented in this book against the background of the Maccabean Revolt, the Hasmonean Dynasty and the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Book Synopsis Church Comes Home by : Dave Barnhart
Download or read book Church Comes Home written by Dave Barnhart and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have lost faith in all collective institutions: government, corporations, the media, and the church. We are in the midst of a spiritual disaster, a flood of biblical proportions, and house churches provide lifeboats for people who are seeking a more authentic, life-giving form of Christian community. Many people remember that the early church started in homes, but they don’t understand that house churches are still a legitimate and viable model today. House churches can create the intimacy so many people are hungry for. They can nurture life-changing discipleship for individuals and create justice-centered communities. Networked house churches can become truly diverse, multi-ethnic communities that spread the Gospel by emphasizing practices over programs. These communities de-center the preacher, opting instead for grassroots organizing, but they are not leaderless — they are leader-full. This book provides an alternative model for denominations and established churches to consider. It will help pastors reconnect with the traditions of community organizing, itinerant preaching, and discipleship training that sparked Methodism and other church movements in the United States. Church Comes Home offers alternative ways to look at some of the problems facing our church and our culture.
Book Synopsis The Pharisees, Sadducees & Essenes by : J. Bell
Download or read book The Pharisees, Sadducees & Essenes written by J. Bell and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pharisees, Sadducees & Essenes Their Origin and Finale-Book Description There are few historical events in ancient Near East history that are as generally well known as are those that occurred in Judea in the 1st century CE - in particular, the Jewish War against Rome that began in Jerusalem (66 CE) and concluded with the destruction of Masada (73 CE). Yet, while the outcome of this conflict might be commonly known today, how its seeds were initially sown centuries prior is not. This book analyzes the extant writings that allude to the origins of the 1st century's three competing Jewish religious sects, and explores how their separate ideologies ultimately resulted in the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple in 70 CE.

Download or read book The Pharisees written by Joseph Sievers and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multidisciplinary appraisal of the Pharisees: who they were, what they taught, and how they’ve been understood and depicted throughout history For centuries, Pharisees have been well known but little understood—due at least in part to their outsized role in the Christian imagination arising from select negative stereotypes based in part on the Gospels. Yet historians see Pharisees as respected teachers and forward-thinking innovators who helped make the Jewish tradition more adaptable to changing circumstances and more egalitarian in practice. Seeking to bridge this gap, the contributors to this volume provide a multidisciplinary appraisal of who the Pharisees actually were, what they believed and taught, and how they have been depicted throughout history. The topics explored within this authoritative resource include: the origins of the Pharisees the meaning of the name “Pharisee” Pharisaic leniency, relative to the temple priesthood, in judicial matters Pharisaic concerns for the Jewish laity Pharisaic purity practices and why they became popular the varying depictions of Pharisaic practices and beliefs in the New Testament Jesus’s relationship to the Pharisees the apostle Paul and his situation within the Pharisaic tradition the question of continuity between the Pharisaic tradition and Rabbinic Judaism the reception history of the Pharisees, including among the rabbis, the church fathers, Rashi, Maimonides, Luther, and Calvin the failures of past scholarship to deal justly with the Pharisees the representations, both positive and negative, of the Pharisees in art, film, passion plays, and Christian educational resources how Christian leaders can and should address the Pharisees in sermons and in Bible studies Following the exploration of these and other topics by a team of internationally renowned scholars, this volume concludes with an address by Pope Francis on correcting the negative stereotypes of Pharisees that have led to antisemitic prejudices and finding resources that “will positively contribute to the relationship between Jews and Christians, in view of an ever more profound and fraternal dialogue.” Contributors: Luca Angelelli, Harold W.

Download or read book Judaism written by E. P. Sanders and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 922 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this now-classic work, E. P. Sanders argues against prevailing views regarding the Judaism of the Second Temple period, for example, that the Pharisees dominated Jewish Palestine or that the Mishnah offers a description of general practice. In contrast, Sanders carefully shows that what was important was the "common Judaism" of the people with their observances of regular practices and the beliefs that informed them. Sanders discusses early rabbinic legal material not as rules, but as debates within the context of real life. He sets Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes in relation to the Judaism of ordinary priests and people. Here then is a remarkably comprehensive presentation of Judaism as a functioning religion: the temple and its routine and festivals; questions of purity, sacrifices, tithes, and taxes; common theology and hopes for the future; and descriptions of the various parties and groups culminating in an examination of the question "who ran what?" Sanders offers a detailed, clear, and well-argued account of all aspects of Jewish religion of the time.

Book Synopsis Flavius Josephus on the Pharisees by : Steve Mason
Download or read book Flavius Josephus on the Pharisees written by Steve Mason and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-07-04 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past two decades, scholars have called for a new, critical history of the Pharisees. Required is a careful analysis of each source's evidence as a prior condition of historical judgements. By analyzing Flavius Josephus' portrayal of the group, this study clarifies some of the crucial evidence that any hypothesis must explain. Josephus writes about the Pharisees in three of his four extant works, describing their actions under the Hashmoneans, Herod the Great, and during his own tenure as Galilean commander of the revolt against Rome. This study tries to show how his discussions of the Pharisees contribute to his literary aims. With the help of K.H. Rengstorf's new concordance, the author explores the ten pertinent passages in their contexts, supplying also introductory chapters on the Jewish War, the Jewish Antiquities, and the Life. This analysis yields the conclusion that, although the Pharisees were the most popular party in first-century Judaism, Josephus was consistently hostile toward them for reasons peculiar to his own situation.
