The Prodigal Prophet
Author: Timothy Keller
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0735222088
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
An angry prophet. A feared and loathsome enemy. A devastating storm. And the surprising message of a merciful God to his people. The story of Jonah is one of the most well-known parables in the Bible. It is also the most misunderstood. Many people, even those who are nonreligious, are familiar with Jonah: A rebellious prophet who defies God and is swallowed by a whale. But there's much more to Jonah's story than most of us realize. In The Prodigal Prophet, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller reveals the hidden depths within the book of Jonah. Keller makes the case that Jonah was one of the worst prophets in the entire Bible. And yet there are unmistakably clear connections between Jonah, the prodigal son, and Jesus. Jesus in fact saw himself in Jonah. How could one of the most defiant and disobedient prophets in the Bible be compared to Jesus? Jonah's journey also doesn't end when he is freed from the belly of the fish. There is an entire second half to his story--but it is left unresolved within the text of the Bible. Why does the book of Jonah end on what is essentially a cliffhanger? In these pages, Timothy Keller provides an answer to the extraordinary conclusion of this biblical parable--and shares the powerful Christian message at the heart of Jonah's story.

The Possibility of Contemporary Prophetic Acts
Author: Randall Bush
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1625640625
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Is it possible to speak of prophets and prophetic activity in today's world? If so, who determines whether the prophetic acts are authentic? Is this role, formerly filled by faith communities, now being done within the secular community? Randall Bush explores these questions from biblical, theological, and historical perspectives, looking at examples from the prophet Jeremiah, the writings of Paul Tillich, and the modern civil rights movement work of Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This compelling discussion touches on issues as old as scripture and as current as today's news headlines, and the topic remains as relevant now as it ever was for those "with eyes to see and ears to hear."

7 Gems
Author: A. Taylor
Publisher: Zorba Books
ISBN: 9358964375
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
7 Gems is a first-of-its-kind book presenting the basic teachings of various religious texts in one place. The holy writings in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism are outlined in one book. 7 Gems does not attempt to describe any of these faiths, or beliefs of those who follow these texts. Instead, it merely presents what the texts themselves say in an easy-to-understand way. Over the last 20 years, the language of each text was carefully reviewed. Each verse of every text was separately scanned for concepts using modern technology. For 7 Gems and Religious Digests, over 80,000 textual cross-references by topic (published separately) were created. This technology is currently the object of potential patent development and protection. A small portion of the Religious Digests’ references—a few thousand–are included in 7 Gems as endnotes. The objective of 7 Gems is to present each of the seven texts for the billions of readers who may never have read or considered them. To provide the reader with a very credible and carefully documented understanding and cross-referencing of various religious texts. To imbue a greater understanding and respect for the followers of different religions.

The Voice of Conscience
Author: Lewis Baldwin
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019970161X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Martin Luther King, Jr. is celebrated widely as the quintessential model of Christian activism in his time, but his understanding of and vision for the church has been surprisingly neglected. In this book, Lewis V. Baldwin contends that King was fundamentally a man of the church. Beginning with King's roots in Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church, Baldwin traces the evolution of King's attitude toward the church through his college, seminary, graduate school, and civil rights years. The emphasis is on King's concept of the church as "the voice of conscience." Baldwin persuasively claims that King challenged the church over the need for a higher spiritual and ethical ideal, and that King's moral leadership and eventual martyrdom did much to reestablish the credibility of the church at a time when some theologians were declaring the death of God. Baldwin critiques the contemporary church on the basis of King's prophetic model, and concludes by insisting that this model, not the entrepreneurial spirituality of the contemporary megachurches, embodies the best potential for much-needed church renewal.
