Book Description
"Fee's book is the most comprehensive treatment available of Paul's understanding of the Holy Spirit, a topic that has rarely received sufficient attention in studies of Pauline theology. Fee's method is exemplary: he first analyzes Paul's statements about the Spirit, in each individual letter, and then moves to a synthesis of Paul's general pneumatology. The result is a book that is deeply exegetical, doing justice both to the particularity of Paul's writings and to the fundamental unity of his vision for the Spirit's role in the life of the Christian community. Most importantly, Fee emphasizes insistently that the Holy Spirit must be experienced as a living presence within the church. That message is both faithful to Paul and urgent for the community of faith in our time." and -Richard B. Hays, Professor of New Testament, The Divinity School, Duke University"With the energy and care that is a trademark of his work, Gordon Fee here fills a significant gap in Pauline Studies. Both those who find talk about the Holy Spirit congenial and those who would happily marginalize it will be instructed by this book. Fee makes a genuine contribution as he examines Paul's letters in conversation with both the exegetical tradition of the academy and the pressing needs of the church." and -Beverly R. Gaventa, Professor of New Testament and Exegesis, Princeton Theological Seminary"Fee uniquely combines professional competence as a text critic, an exegete, an author and editor of major commentaries, and a foremost evangelical interpreter of Paul with a lifetime of formation and ministry among the Pentecostals-this century's providential witnesses to the work of the Spirit of God among us. . . . Fee's work offers an enduring encyclopedia of Pauline pneumatological exegesis, easy to consult for next Sunday's sermon, yet substantial enough to take its place near George Ladd's Theology of the New Testament as a must-have, within arm's reach, for serious interpreters of Paul's gospel. . . . Fee's work is the theological crown of a distinguished exegetical career." and -Russell P. Spittler, Senior Professor of New Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary

Pages : 386
Book Description
Virgil Flowers investigates a miracle--and a murder--in the wickedly entertaining new thriller from the master of "pure reading pleasure" (Booklist) Pinion, Minnesota: a metropolis of all of seven hundred souls, for which the word "moribund" might have been invented. Nothing ever happened there and nothing ever would--until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: "I'll Do What I Can") and a buddy come up with a scheme to put Pinion on the map. They'd heard of a place where a floating image of the Virgin Mary had turned the whole town into a shrine, attracting thousands of pilgrims. And all those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of crazy things, right? They'd all get rich! What could go wrong? When the dead body shows up, they find out, and that's only the beginning of their troubles--and Virgil Flowers'--as they are all about to discover all too soon.

The Medieval Crossbow
Author: Stuart Ellis-Gorman
Publisher: Pen and Sword Military
ISBN: 152678954X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
An in-depth, illustrated history and technical study of this iconic weapon of the Middle Ages. The crossbow is an iconic weapon of the Middle Ages and, alongside the longbow, one of the most effective ranged weapons of the pre-gunpowder era. Unfortunately, despite its general fame it has been decades since an in-depth history of the medieval crossbow has been published, which is why Stuart Ellis-Gorman’s detailed, accessible, and highly illustrated study is so valuable. The Medieval Crossbow approaches the history of the crossbow from two directions. The first is a technical study of the design and construction of the medieval crossbow, the many different kinds of crossbows used during the Middle Ages, and finally a consideration of the relationship between crossbows and art. The second half of the book explores the history of the crossbow, from its origins in ancient China to its decline in sixteenth-century Europe. Along the way it explores the challenges in deciphering the crossbow’s early medieval history as well as its prominence in warfare and sport shooting in the High and Later Middle Ages. This fascinating book brings together the work of a wide range of accomplished crossbow scholars and incorporates the author’s own original research to create an account of the medieval crossbow that will appeal to anyone looking to gain an insight into one of the most important weapons of the Middle Ages.

1 & 2 Timothy, Titus
Author: Paul M. Zehr
Publisher: MennoMedia, Inc.
ISBN: 083619800X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
In this twenty-second volume of the Believers Church Bible Commentary series, author Paul M. Zehr explores Paul’s instructions to Timothy and Titus in light of recent scholarship, applying Christian theology and ethics to the political, philosophical, religious, and cultural issues that early Christians faced as the church reached out in mission in Ephesus and on the island of Crete. Additionally, Zehr also shows how the themes in 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus have been interpreted and applied in the history of the church, especially the believers church. His interpretive process includes both a vertical reading of each book separately and a horizontal reading of the themes found in all three letters. Check out other commentaries in this series! Endorsements “This is a remarkably readable commentary on the pastoral epistles. It successfully and perhaps uniquely provides sound exegesis at a level that is adequate for the preacher; sets the theological themes in their wider biblical contexts; and surveys the history of the interpretation and influence of the letters, particularly in the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition. I warmly commend this attractive presentation, which should greatly encourage and assist exposition of these fascinating letters.” —I. Howard Marshall, University of Aberdeen, Scotland “This commentary by Paul Zehr provides helpful guidance to interpret important but difficult passages in a contemporary Anabaptist manner. Zehr is alert to current ecumenical and evangelical scholarship on the pastorals, to the historical and cultural contexts reflected in these books, to the difficult issues of authorship, and to the energy of these letters for the well-being of healthy church leadership.” —John A. Esau, former Mennonite pastor and denominational administrator “With careful scholarship and a Christ-centered hermeneutic, Paul Zehr has given to the church an insightful guide in understanding the pastoral epistles. He seeks to work carefully with the cultural background of these scriptures, their context in the larger Scripture, and in applications to our setting. He does not back away from engaging the difficult issues that have divided groups but calls us to follow Paul’s example of contextualizing applications.” —Myron S. Augsburger, President & Professor Emeritus of Eastern Mennonite University “Dr. Zehr’s commentary brings the most accessible scholarship, knowledge of the first-century cultural/historical settings and a keen interest in the meaning of the text for today’s church into a most engaging combination for pastors and church leaders alike. Their task in making the biblical text relevant in the twenty-first century is greatly helped by this volume in the Believers Church Bible Commentary Series.” —Philip H.

How to Receive the Holy Ghost
Author: Francine Harris
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1984576321
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
This book is summarized by teaching you about the tabernacle, which was under the Mosaic Law. It explains the meaning of some objects that were there that had a symbolic meaning. Moreover, you will understand why God was not happy with the Mosaic Law. It will also explain to you the meaning of sanctification and why we must be sanctified as well. You will see why Abraham and some of the other patriarchs were so important in the scriptures. In addition, this book will explain to you the proper way to be baptized and to prepare you for the indwelling of God’s Spirit and why you need it. You will also know what to expect when it takes place. Besides, this book will teach you the importance of repentance before you’re baptized. You’ll understand how to be identified with Christ when he comes back, likewise your understanding of what strongholds are in the spiritual realm and how to free yourself from them. In fact, you’ll learn about what kind of angel Satan was before he fell. Another thing that you will learn from reading this book is how fasting and prayer can give you power with God. You’ll learn the proper way to fast. You’ll also learn how to do warfare with the flesh and the devil. Likewise, this book will teach you more in depth what took place in the Upper Room. Also, it will explain to you who was there. Then it will explain to you why this particular book is so important. Consequently, I also have written down scriptures so that you can verify what I have written. Equally important, you’ll learn the different operations of the Spirit of God and how he operates in the spiritual realm. In addition, you’ll learn about the different gifts that are in the body of Christ. Another thing that this book will teach you about is the Corinthian Church and why Paul wrote some of the things that he did about judging. It will teach you various kinds of judging that is biblical. I also wrote some of my own supernatural experiences in this book as well. May the peace of God be with you all.

Publisher: Cosimo, Inc.
ISBN: 1596057432
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
It is the Holy Spirit who convicts us of sin, who makes us feel how good and righteous, and just and patient God is, and how guilty we are, and how unfit for Heaven, and how near to Hell. It is the Holy Spirit who leads us to true repentance and confession... -from "Preparing His House" This joyful work of devotion and "experiential" religion is part testimony, part prayer book. The author, a preacher who was instrumental in the development of the theology of the Salvation Army, the Protestant evangelical organization, relates stories of the power of the Holy Spirit to transform lives and save souls, and offers meditations, excerpts from Scripture, on His authority. First published in 1906, this is an invaluable volume for anyone seeking to understand the history and ideology of this important Christian sect. American preacher SAMUEL LOGAN BRENGLE (1860-1936) was instrumental in the development of the theology of the Salvation Army. He is also the author of Heart Talks on Holiness (1897), The Way of Holiness (1902), Love Slaves (1923), and Resurrection Life and Power (1925).
