Abraham, Israel and the Nations
Author: Paul R. Williamson
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567477398
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
The divine promises to Abraham have long been recognized as a key to the book of Genesis as a whole. But their variety, often noted, also raises literary and theological problems. Why do they differ each time, and how are they related to each other and to the story of Abraham? Williamson focuses on the promises in Genesis 15 and 17, and concludes that they are concerned with two distinct but related issues. Genesis 15 guarantees God's promise to make Abraham into a great nation, while Genesis 17 focuses chiefly on God's promise to mediate blessing (through Abraham) to the nations. The two chapters are connected, however, by the theme of an individual, royal descendant who will come from the nation (Israel) and mediate blessing to all the nations of the earth.

Mission in the Old Testament
Author: Walter C. Jr. Kaiser
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1441238794
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Walter Kaiser questions the notion that the New Testament represents a deviation from God's supposed intention to save only the Israelites. He argues that--contrary to popular opinion--the older Testament does not reinforce an exclusive redemptive plan. Instead, it emphasizes a common human condition and God's original and continuing concern for all humanity. Kaiser shows that the Israelites' mission was always to actively spread to gentiles the Good News of the promised Messiah. This new edition adds two new chapters, freshens material throughout, expands the bibliography, and includes study questions.

Pages : 276
Book Description
Genesis 26 describes the dynamic of Gods economy. It says: There was famine in the land and the Lord appeared to Isaac and said, Dwell in this land and I will be with you and will bless you and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. Gods economy operates against all odds, which isnt an option for those living in lands of persecution and distressand it is emerging as a chief strategy for operating a business or ministry in this post-9/11 environment. Gods economy is based on Gods Kingdom rule and embraces not only the realities of Gods spiritual riches, but also the community (social) and economic riches outlined throughout the Word of God. It is the reemergence of the ancient biblical principles of entrepreneurship, business, and Kingdom wealth.
