Book Synopsis The Powers of Prophecy by : Robert E. Lerner
Download or read book The Powers of Prophecy written by Robert E. Lerner and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Powers of Prophecy is an original attempt to investigate the subject of medieval eschatological prophecies: how and in what circumstances they were written; how they circulated; what they told people about the future; and how they were received. Although scholars have studied the ideas of a few outstanding medieval prophetic thinkers or the role of prophecies in heretical movements and popular insurrections, up to now there has been no attempt to study the most commonplace medieval prophetic ideas as they were communicated in the most frequently copied and widely read anonymous prophetic texts. Dedicated to pursuing the typical, Lerner's book traces the fortunes of an eschatological prophecy that was first written around 1240 and thereafter circulated throughout Western Europe for more than four centuries. Originally composed as a response to the Mongol onslaught, the prophecy was resurrected and reconceived to apply to other crises such as the fall of the Holy Land, the Black Death, and the Protestant Reformation. Although it was supposed to have descended form on high, allegedly being a message written by a disembodied moving hand over an altar during mass, countless scribes felt no qualms about recirculating the text with substantial changes. Among the many who took note of the prophecy in one or another of its numerous guises were the scholastic theological John of Paris; the Infante Peter, a prince of the house of Aragon; John Clyn, an Irish monk who entered it into his chronicle shortly before dying of the bubonic plague; and Martin Luther.

Book Synopsis Themes and Transformations in Old Testament Prophecy by : Samuel A. Meier
Download or read book Themes and Transformations in Old Testament Prophecy written by Samuel A. Meier and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We meet the prophets of Israel in our own time and in one place--Scripture. So it might seem odd to consider that they are not all the same, these voices from "back then." In fact, the prophets inhabited a time span of hundreds of years and faced events that on their own terms were more convulsive than our 9/11. They were not uniform in their language, their concerns, their personalities, their remedies or their visions of the future. In this book, Sam Meier explores some recurring themes and features--such as angels, writing, miracles, the future and kingmaking--all with an eye on their transformation over time. And the defining event in this transformation turns out to be the great convulsive event of the story of Israel, the defeat and exile of the kingdom of Judah. Themes and Transformations in Old Testament Prophecy is a book that goes beyond the standard introductions to the prophets. Yet it does so in a way that will inform and intrigue beginning students and anyone curious about the prophets of Israel.
Book Synopsis Holy Hustlers, Schism, and Prophecy by : Richard Werbner
Download or read book Holy Hustlers, Schism, and Prophecy written by Richard Werbner and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-04-18 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the charismatic Christian reformation presently underway in Botswana’s time of AIDS and the moral crisis that divides the church between the elders and the young, apostolic faith healers. Richard Werbner focuses on Eloyi, an Apostolic faith-healing church in Botswana’s capital. Werbner shows how charismatic "prophets"—holy hustlers—diagnose, hustle, and shock patients during violent and destructive exorcisms. He also shows how these healers enter into prayer and meditation and take on their patients’ pain and how their ecstatic devotions create an aesthetic in which beauty beckons God. Werbner challenges theoretical assumptions about mimesis and empathy, the power of the word, and personhood. With its accompanying DVD, Holy Hustlers, Schism, and Prophecy integrates textual and filmed ethnography and provides a fresh perspective on ritual performance and the cinematic.
Book Synopsis The Perfect Ending for the World by : John Reid Noe
Download or read book The Perfect Ending for the World written by John Reid Noe and published by East2west Press. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'End-of-the-world' ranting and ravings are, once again, parading across our paths. All humankind has and is paying a horrendous price for their ages-old trail of failed predictions. Nonetheless, many are wondering if this time could really be it. And the answer is, NO! In this book you will discover why and how the God of divine perfection in the creation of the physical earth and cosmos is also the same God of divine perfection in the creation and fulfillment of his plan of redemption. That means the world He created is without end and "the end" the Bible consistently proclaims for the world came right on time; it's behind us not ahead of us; it's "last days" are past not present or future. This book presents and documents the scriptural and historical evidence. No gaps, no delays, no interruption of time frames, and no strained explanations are needed. All was fulfilled, precisely and chronologically, within human history and as prophesied centuries in advance. Truly, this is "the perfect ending" and great good news for the entire world. It's also the ultimate apologetic (defense) for the existence of God, the climax of the rest of the greatest story ever foretold, and is being proclaimed by this author and other Bible scholars as the basis for the next reformation of Christianity.

Book Synopsis The Judaizing Calvin by : G. Sujin Pak
Download or read book The Judaizing Calvin written by G. Sujin Pak and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By exploring how Martin Luther, Martin Bucer, and John Calvin interpreted a set of eight messianic psalms (Psalms 2, 8, 16, 22, 45, 72, 110, 188), Sujin Pak elucidates key debates about Christological exegesis during the era of the Protestant reformation. More particularly, Pak examines the exegeses of Luther, Bucer, and Calvin in order to (a) reveal their particular theological emphases and reading strategies, (b) identify their debates over the use of Jewish exegesis and the factors leading to charges of 'judaizing' leveled against Calvin, and (c) demonstrate how Psalms reading and the accusation of judaizing serve distinctive purposes of confessional identity formation. In this way, she portrays the beginnings of those distinctive trends that separated Lutheran and Reformed exegetical principles.

Book Synopsis Unraveling the End by : John Reid Noe
Download or read book Unraveling the End written by John Reid Noe and published by . This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nineteen centuries and counting, the Church has been made to look like a joke in the eyes of the world as predictions of Christ's Second Coming or Return and other related end-time events have supposedly come and gone without fulfillment. This book offers a unique solution. Herein, the author analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the four major views, discards their weaknesses, and synthesizes their strengths into one meaningful, coherent, and cogent view that is more Christ-honoring, Scripture-authenticating, and faith-validating than any one view in and of itself. The four views in order of their prominence today are: dispensational premillennialism, amillennialism, postmillennialism, and preterism.
Book Synopsis Prophecy and People in Renaissance Italy by : Ottavia Niccoli
Download or read book Prophecy and People in Renaissance Italy written by Ottavia Niccoli and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1990-08 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the midst of the religious ferment, foreign invasions, and internal political strife that beset Italy before the full effects of the Counter-Reformation, the powerful and humble alike turned to popular prophecy for guidance and solace. Ottavia Niccoli examines here the forms of these prophecies--including interpretations of natural disasters, abnormal births, floods, and planetary conjunctions--and gives examples of how they were transmitted from the lower classes to the elite through street singers, apocalyptic preachers, astrologers, and printers. By tracing the ongoing revision of the prophecies, Niccoli reveals them as an indication of how various levels of society viewed events of the time, as a form of propaganda for such causes as anti-Lutheranism, and as a reflection of the interaction between "high" and "low" culture. Based on popular leaflets, diaries, civic chronicles, and iconographic sources, this book explores the expression of a culture in which nature, religion, and politics formed a unified system with a uniform code of interpretation. It connects the decline of prophecy in Italy with the end of the Italian wars and the beginning of the Counter-Reformation, when popular preaching was banned and charismatic religion discouraged.
Book Synopsis The Influence of Prophecy in the Later Middle Ages by : Marjorie Reeves
Download or read book The Influence of Prophecy in the Later Middle Ages written by Marjorie Reeves and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1969 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joachim of Fiore proclaimed a philosophy of history which exercised a powerful influence in succeeding centuries. This book traces the influence of his prophecies concerning a Third Age of the Spirit to come, as later expressed in the themes of New Spiritual Men, Last World Emperor, Angelic Pope, and Renovatio Mundi. It shows that these ideas were not only the mainspring of various heterodox groups, but also engaged the attention of certain church leaders, university scholars, Renaissance thinkers, Protestant theologians, and political rulers down to the seventeenth century.

Book Synopsis Reformed Prophecy Interpretation by : Nicklas Arthur
Download or read book Reformed Prophecy Interpretation written by Nicklas Arthur and published by . This book was released on 2020-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with Primitive Biblical Christianity, Historicism is the method of prophecy interpretation restored with the advent of the Protestant Reformation, and had become "so widely held that for a long time it was called the protestant view." This book is not so much about the errors of Dispensationalism or Amillennialism, rather is about the Historicist alternative to understanding many of the same passages from the vantage point of prophecy fulfilled in history, rather than a speculation of their fulfillment in the future. For those that desire more than mere hypothesis, bolstered with conjectured speculation - those that require explicit biblical exegesis and verified historical fulfillment, not willing to accept speculation as anything other than what it is - speculation, not truth - this book is for you. Over the last century this method of interpretation has become almost completely forgotten, even by Protestants, in the face of a method that is based almost entirely on future speculation, rather than fulfilled prophecy in history. We will here examine the reasons for this, and investigate some of the prophecy which has been fulfilled in the interim, as well as present An Apology for Reformed Premillennial Historicism, to the 21st Century Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After twenty years of research, Dr. J. Barton Payne has compiled the one complete guide to Biblical prophecy. From the prediction of Adam's death in Genesis 2: 17 to the prophecy of mankind's perpetual worship of God in the new heaven and earth (Psalm 72:5), the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIBLICAL PROPHECY discusses every verse of prophetic matter in Scripture. It identifies every probable point of fulfillment whether in the past, present, or still in the future. The first 144 pages of the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIBLICAL PROPHECY set forth a systematic approach to the subject of Biblical prophecy and the legitimate place for prediction in it. The ENCYCLOPEDIA is arranged according to the 66 books of the Bible. In each book, all the verses on one prophetic theme are treated in one combined discussion. For example: The 12 verses of Genesis that foretell God's granting of the land of Canaan to the descendants of Abraham are discussed together. It is then shown how the promise was fulfilled in the days of Joshua. One of the ENCYCLOPEDIA'S concluding summaries lists all the 737 major subjects that appear in Biblical prediction, with the books and paragraphs in which each is found. This way, each prophecy can be traced from its first appearance in the Bible to its last. Among the many features is a complete list of all the Scriptural prophecies pertaining to Christ. No other book has ever examined Biblical prophecy so thoroughly or presented it in such a balanced perspective as the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIBLICAL PROPHECY. -1,817 entries covering all the Biblical predictions in both the Old and New Testaments -A complete discussion of all 8,352 predictive verses in the Bible -14 tables, including three on the Book of Revelation -Bibliography -4 summaries -4 statistical appendixes -5 complete indexes An indispensable tool for students of the Bible, for students in theological seminaries and Bible colleges, for pastors as a reference guide, and for concerned lay people.

Book Synopsis A Once Mighty Faith by : John Reid Noe
Download or read book A Once Mighty Faith written by John Reid Noe and published by East2west Press. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kingdom of God is the most important and all-encompassing concept of Scripture. Yet the kingdom remains one of the most misunderstood, misconstrued, confused, abstracted, abused, contested, and ignored realities in the Church. The kingdom of God was also the central teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ, at the heart of his ministry, and the very essence of New Testament Christianity. Today, however, the kingdom is no longer the central teaching of his Church, at the heart of its ministry, or its very essence. Consequently, when the Church in America lost its kingdom orientation and worldview, we started losing the culture and our children in droves. Inside this inquiring book you will discover answers to: Has Christianity been tamed? Are we Christians losing America? What is the Second American Revolution? Is there any viable hope? The kingdom conundrum Return of the Miraculous Grounding the kingdom time- and nature-wise Turning the world upside down again"
