We Saw His Sermon on the Mount
Author: Gary Gagliardi
Publisher: Clearbridge Publishing
ISBN: 9781929194476
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
This is the story of the Sermon on the Mount told from the perspective of six witnesses who saw Jesus speak that day. It is told in a series of letters written by one of those witnesses. He begins by writing: "You have all heard or read the words that the Nazarene spoke at what has come to be called the Sermon on the Mount. It is the most widely circulated part of his teaching for a good reason, one that I will explain here. You may have also heard rumors and gossip about what happened there. Not all of these stories are completely true. "Over the years, we have heard some fantastic tales about the event: that the Master controlled the sun, that he conjured snakes and birds, that he raised up a storm to beat back his opponents, and so on. While these rumors all have their basis in fact, they are very different from what occurred. And while some aspects of the story are easily exaggerated as it moves from person to person, much of what is important is too easily lost because it is harder to describe. One thing that is lost is how entertaining the Sermon was and how often the Master made us laugh. This is why I have been urged to write this series of letters. "For over a decade, I toured with five others who also witnessed the Sermon. Our group traveled through much of the known world, giving our testimony to the growing number of assemblies of Followers. "I assure you that what you read here will surprise you. The words of the Master in these letters are the words you have heard, though they may seem very different at times. Though we all speak the common tongue, in our travels we have discovered that the same words are used differently in different regions. When necessary, I will explain the meaning of these words among the Galileans and Judeans." This work is based on fifteen years of research into the ancient Greek of the Gospels. That research focused directly on how Jesus spoke. The Jesus that emerges from this analysis is surprising, unexpected, and sometimes even shocking. He used humor, a quick wit, wordplay, catchphrases, and even rhymes to entertain his listeners. If you have ever wondered why Jesus drew such huge crowds, with people traveling hours and even days with their families to hear him speak, this story will answer those questions. Though much more entertaining and amusing than other translations of the Sermon, Jesus's words here follow the ancient Greek much more closely that any regular biblical version. This is possible because this story presents his words as spoken in a larger context. The original forms of Jesus's words tell us that Jesus was answering people's questions as he spoke, not just making a speech. Because history has preserved only his part of this dialogue, we must imagine his interactions with others. The events, questions, and audience reactions here are fictional and designed to be dramatic and entertaining, but the imagined events arise naturally from his words. This context allows us to hear Jesus's words much more accurately, without rewriting them so that they look like English sentences in a long monologue. This larger context reveals many interesting shades of his meaning that are usually lost in translation. To capture the feeling of being there, this translation uses terms much closer to what listeners of Jesus's era would have heard, rather than the common words. This allows you to enjoy his message in an exciting, new way.

After You Believe
Author: N. T. Wright
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061730556
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
From the author of the acclaimed Simply Christian and Surprised by Hope comes a book that addresses the question that has plagued humans for centuries—what is our purpose? As Christians, what are we to do with that ambiguous time between baptism and the funeral? It's easy to become preoccupied with who gets into heaven; the real challenge is how we are going to live in the here and now. Wright dispels the common misconception that Christian living is nothing more than a checklist of dos and don'ts. Nor is it a prescription to "follow your heart" wherever it may lead. Instead, After You Believe reveals the Bible's call for a revolution—a transformation of character that takes us beyond our earthly pursuit of money, sex, and power into a virtuous state of living that allows us to reflect God and live more worshipful, fulfilling lives. We are all spiritual seekers, intuitively knowing there is more to life than we suspect. This is a book for anyone who is hoping there is something more while we're here on Earth. There is. We are being called to join the revolution, and Wright insightfully encourages readers to find new purpose and clarity by taking us on an eye-opening journey through key biblical passages that promise to radically alter the work of the church and the direction of our lives.

Performing the Word

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Whether they like it or not, actors and preachers have a great deal in common. Many churchgoers see the truth in the old saying that links preachers and frustrated actors, though few preachers seem anxious to acknowledge the family resemblance. Performing the Word destigmatizes the performance-based approach to preaching and shows how the experience, skills, and modi operandi of actors and performance artists may be applied to preaching. This volume is ideal for seminary students and preachers who wish to enrich their delivery and creativity skills.
