ISBN: 0310942306
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 753
Book Description
Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament features today's top Old Testament scholars and brings together commentary features rarely gathered together in one volume. With careful discourse analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, the authors trace the flow of argument in each Old Testament book, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say. Commentary on each passage follows a clear structure to help readers grasp the flow and meaning of the text: The Main Idea of the Passage: A one- or two-sentence summary of the key ideas the biblical author seeks to communicate. Literary Context: A brief discussion of the relationship of the specific text to the book as a whole and to its place within the broader argument. Translation and Exegetical Outline: Commentators provide their own translations of each text, formatted to highlight its discourse structure and accompanied by a coherent outline that reflects the flow and argument of the text. Structure and Literary Form: An overview of the literary structure and rhetorical style adopted by the biblical author, highlighting how these features contribute to the communication of the main idea of the passage. Explanation of the Text: A detailed commentary on the passage, paying particular attention to how the biblical authors select and arrange their materials and how they work with words, phrases, and syntax to communicate their messages. Canonical and Practical Significance: The commentary on each unit will conclude by building bridges between the world of the biblical author and other biblical authors and with reflections on the contribution made by this unit to the development of broader issues in biblical theology--particularly on how later Old Testament and New Testament authors have adapted and reused the motifs in question. The discussion also includes brief reflections on the significance of the message of the passage for readers today. The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament series is the go-to resource for pastors and Bible teachers looking for deep but accessible study that equips them to connect the needs of Christians today with the biblical text.

Spirituality of Flowers
Author: Brid Kennedy
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
As a child, Bríd Kennedy was fascinated with the beautiful scents, colors, and shapes of flowers. They stirred something deep within that she could not name. The mystery and beauty of flowers sparked her curiosity to develop her research question: Is flower appreciation a participation in a Divine-human transformation process, and if so, how is it being expressed? Through a practice of authentic interiority striving towards beauty, intelligibility, truth, goodness, and love, the author now realizes how interdependent humans are with all creation. Flowers are an essential part of creation bringing in wisdom and healing. Appreciating them is a participation in a Divine-human transformation process expressed through our acknowledgement of the scent, color, shape, and any changes in these through deeply knowing that something sacred is within them. Taking precious moments to stand and smell flowers enriches the soul as it reminds people of who they are as humans and to care for Mother Earth. Drawing on science, spirituality studies, psycho-spiritual perspectives, and historical and cultural literature awakened Kennedy’s appreciation of “beauty within.” Flowers are evidence of the purpose in the universe. Consider and contemplate them in depth, as this book invites and initiates. The well-being of one’s body is not possible without the well-being of the planet.
