Book Description
A compendium of approximately three hundred texts--in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, Ethiopic, Syriac, Coptic, and other languages--that are important for the study of Jewish messianism and early Christology. In recent decades, the study of Jewish messianic ideas and how they influenced early Christology has become an incredibly active field within biblical studies. Numerous books and articles have engaged with the ancient sources to trace various themes, including "Messiah" language itself, exalted patriarchs, angel mediators, "wisdom" and "word," eschatology, and much more. But anyone who attempts to study the Jewish roots of early Christianity faces a challenge: the primary sources are wide-ranging, involve ancient languages, and are often very difficult to track down. Books are littered with citations and a host of other sometimes obscure writings, and it can be difficult to sort them all out. This book makes a much-needed contribution by bringing together the most important primary texts for the study of Jewish messianism and early Christology--nearly three hundred in total--and presenting the reader with essential information to study them: the critical text itself (with apparatus), a fresh translation, a current bibliography, and thematic tags that allow the reader to trace themes across the corpus. This volume aims to be the starting point for all future work on the primary sources that are relevant to messianology and Christology. About the Author Gregory R. Lanier (PhD, University of Cambridge) is Associate Professor of New Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida. He has written extensively on early Christology and published Old Testament Conceptual Metaphors and the Christology of Luke's Gospel (Bloomsbury, 2018); Septuaginta: A Reader's Edition (Hendrickson, 2018); and Is Jesus Truly God? How the Bible Teaches the Divinity of Christ (Crossway, 2020). He also serves as associate pastor of River Oaks Church in Lake Mary, Florida.

Paul's 'Works of the Law' in the Perspective of Second Century Reception
Author: Matthew J. Thomas
Publisher: Mohr Siebeck
ISBN: 3161562755
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Paul writes that we are justified by faith apart from 'works of the law', a disputed term that represents a fault line between 'old' and 'new' perspectives on Paul. Was the Apostle reacting against the Jews' good works done to earn salvation, or the Mosaic Law's practices that identified the Jewish people? Matthew J. Thomas examines how Paul's second century readers understood these points in conflict, how they relate to 'old' and 'new' perspectives, and what their collective witness suggests about the Apostle's own meaning. Surprisingly, these early witnesses align closely with the 'new' perspective, though their reasoning often differs from both viewpoints. They suggest that Paul opposes these works neither due to moralism, nor primarily for experiential or social reasons, but because the promised new law and covenant, which are transformative and universal in scope, have come in Christ.

A Light in the City
Author: Eva Hillman
Publisher: Publication Consultants
ISBN: 1594337144
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
We had been told of too many tales of modern-day heroes who come in various forms, colors and sizes, and most of them tend to help people discreetly, without asking for anything in return. There are some, however, who are just driven to a life of altruism even without having any knowledge of their past. A Light in the City, a story of an altruist who's completely clueless about his previous existence is propelled by a mysterious, unknown force, to defy his ignorance of his past and help others in dire need of support and direction in life. The many clouds of mystery make for a unifying theme from the beginning until the last episode. Readers will encounter and be absorbed by questions like: Why did he wake up in a hospital bed? Where did his money come from? Why was he able to discharge himself from the hospital without any trouble? But most likely, what stands out most is why was he suddenly driven to help other people considering he doesn't have the slightest idea of his history? A healthy mix of riddles, acts of philanthropy, thrilling episodes of dangerous encounters with shady characters—who later became exemplary individuals—and the transformations of peoples' lives collectively, make A Light In The City worthwhile for readers of all ages.

Religion can be Fun
Author: Huib van Hoeven
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1785899473
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
Religion Can Be Fun confronts the reader with the idea of religion, an often heavy, serious and untouchable topic, but told with humour to provide a more comfortable approach. This book is a compilation of reflections, poems and prayers which aims to inspire and lifts the spirits of those who are feeling low. Having spent many years conducting intercessions and leading morning praise services, Huib van Hoeven found that religion is often portrayed in a serious manner that fails to spark the imagination of the younger generation. His own style of worship, exemplified in Religion Can Be Fun, is light-hearted and aims to create a smile in those who wish to learn more about religion. The themes discussed throughout the book demonstrate the enjoyment that can be found in religion and include every day lessons about love, loss, power and our relationship with God. The book also explores infamous stories from the bible such as the story of Adam & Eve and Paul’s Shipwreck so that the reader can understand the stories in a previously unseen manner. The reader is challenged to experience the impact of the messages within the book and see the difference in themselves. It aims to give the doubter and the sceptic the opportunity to think again about their views, as well as giving the readers at the end of their tethers a stimulant and a new will to live. Religion Can Be Fun will appeal to anyone who finds religion serious and prescriptive, but it will also widely appeal to younger readers who are looking for a fresh perspective on religion.

The McDonaldization of the Church
Author: John William Drane
Publisher: Smyth & Helwys Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 9781573123747
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
"A theology which comes pre-packaged, and in which there are no loose ends, is not true to life nor can it adequately reflect the richness of the Gospel." Why are churches struggling to maintain credibility in a culture in which there are more spiritual seekers than at any time in living memory? John Drane believes that churches have become stereotyped structures, offering uninventive formulaic worship to a dwindling minority. But there are exciting opportunities for growth, he argues, if only churches will rediscover their own creativity and flexibility. If only they will offer something more nourishing for post-modern spiritual appetites than the equivalent of fast food.

Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
Throughout my life, I was extremely fortunate to have met many of the good people that G-d placed on this earth and avoided most of the folks that he should take back and reprogram. For those persons that I came to respect and love they will always be referred to by their real names. To the best of my knowledge, not one of them has an outstanding warrant or owes me money so I have no reason not to include them in my story. Persons for whom I only use initials are very few and are only mentioned in reference to a humorous incident. Besides, Kim Young, master counselor and part of our family, insists that no one needs to mention a negative about someone as it is probably already common knowledge.
