Was Jesus a Poor Man?
Author: Clarence Jackson Jr
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595503497
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
The Bible states in 1 Peter 2:21 "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps." What was the example Jesus left us to follow? Was it one of poverty and lack, or one of abundance? Many people believe that he was poor financially and materially when he lived upon the earth. And many of those same people believe that he and his disciples were beggars subsisting on the handouts of others. In his book Was Jesus A Poor Man? Clarence, with over 20 years of study, shows us through the Word of God whether this belief is true or false by tackling such topics as Did Jesus have a house? Did he have a job? Did he pay taxes? Did his ministry have a treasury? Did he wear designer clothing? Did he have a car? and so on.

ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
"In this moving exegesis of the gospel of Mark, Mexican theologian and biblical scholar José Cárdenas Pallares explores the disquieting message of Jesus Christ, effectively demonstrating how Jesus' identification with poor and outcast persons--lepers, women, cripples, tax collectors--was seen as subversive by political and religious authorities. The author unravels the liberative dimension of Jesus' words and miracles, and traces the response of Jesus' detractors from mere indignation to spirited agitation for his death. Engagingly written and cogently argued, this study is a valuable tool for students and scholars interested in Jesus' emancipatory proclamation for the poor of both the first and twentieth centuries."--Back cover

Jesus' Economy
Author: John D. Barry
Publisher: Whitaker House
ISBN: 1641231769
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
You know people around the world are struggling. A homeless man holds a sign that reads, “Anything helps.” A poor child lives in a slum swarming with flies. A refugee mother is on the brink of starvation. You ask yourself, “But what can I do about such big problems?” You’re looking for long-term solutions. John D. Barry shares incredible, and often shocking, stories about working among the impoverished and unchurched in the U.S. and abroad. And since Barry is a Bible scholar, Jesus’ Economy is also deeply rooted in the Scriptures. It is a personal, sometimes funny, often heartbreaking account that presents a revolutionary pattern for lasting change. Jesus' Economy is based on self-sacrifice. His currency is love. It’s called Jesus’ Economy because it’s about creating a spiritual and physical economy for those who need it most. Here is a thoroughly biblical and compassionate pattern for addressing issues of poverty and offering the hope of the gospel. Jesus’ Economy: • Shows how you as an individual can best encourage renewal in your community. • Demonstrates how your church community or any group can alleviate poverty. • Presents a unified plan for creating jobs, spreading the gospel, and meeting basic needs. • Focuses on community development and sustainability—lasting change, globally and locally. Jesus’ Economy is a call to address our own spiritual poverty—as people who can too easily become distant from Christ—and it is a call to address the physical poverty all around us in a smart and sustainable way. Jesus’ teachings show that with simple, everyday choices, you can make the world a better place and create enduring change. Here’s how to live Jesus’ economy—a currency of love. 100% of author's proceeds go to the nonprofit Jesus' Economy, to fuel the movement of creating jobs and churches in the developing world.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
J. B. Phillips, best known hitherto for his widely acclaimed translation of the New Testament, has in this series of short plays about the life of Christ preserved the same direct speech and simple, dignified language that so distinguish his translation.The series starts with the first public appearance of the boy Jesus when he talks to the elders in the temple, and ends with a moving reconstruction of the crucifixion as witnessed by the soldiers, by Nicodemus, and bystanders.Written at the invitation of the BBC in England for their Schools Programme, these plays will be welcomed in book form by parents and children, as well as teachers. Schools, churches, clubs, and other groups will find them admirably suited to simple dramatization of some of the events in the life of the Man called Jesus. They will be especially satisfying to the individual reader who will find that this imaginative approach sheds new light upon familiar stories.Turn to Canon Phillips' helpful introduction for his interesting comments on the writing of the plays.
