ISBN:
Category : Science fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
"Within reasonable limits, Man has been aware of both his present and his past. Knowledge of his future, however, has remained an insoluble mystery, a great, darkly impenetrable unknown. In past ages, Man has been plagued with all sorts of prophets, seers, soothsayers, oracles, and witch-doctors trying to foretell the future. None of them, however, really had such powers. But today there is a new kind of prophet--the science fiction writer. On the basis of existing scientific knowledge he projects his imaginative vision into the future. And his prophecies have been astonishingly accurate: television, automation, nuclear energy, space flight. A great deal of what is today accepted as the natural product of science was first presented to the world in the guise of fiction. In this collection of twelve exciting stories, some of the greatest of modern science fiction writers have given free rein to their powers of imagination. Their minds have leaped into the future to explore the infinite heights intelligence can reach--will reach! The result: stories of adventure calculated to hold the reader in unmatched suspense and to startle him into new ways of thinking."--Pg. [i].

Category : Religion

In light of our increasingly post-Christian Western contexts, David Gustafson offers a mission-oriented ecclesiology that moves from missional theory to practices of missional engagement. Introducing “God’s human drama” as a way to explain the gospel within God’s redemptive story, he outlines specific ways for pastors and church leaders to shape a “gospeling” culture within their congregations.

Mark Images of an Apostolic Interpr
Author: C. Clifton Black
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 9781451404678
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
In this study of early Christian traditions, C. Clifton Black explores the figure and function of Mark, the apostolic associate to whom Christians traditionally have attributed authorship of the New Testament's anonymous Second Gospel and whose very existence has been a controversial issue among scholars. Black contends that in their justifiable doubt about Mark's writing of the Second Gospel, biblical scholars have neglected the development of that ascription as well as its religious motivations. Using a variety of critical lenses—historical, literary, and theological—Black examines the images of Mark that emerge from the New Testament and from the writings of the early church fathers. Black's comprehensive investigation culminates in a fresh appraisal of the relationship between the Gospel of Mark and the legends surrounding its composition. Black concludes that the figure of Mark was carefully crafted as a part of the interpretive framework within which early Christians read the Second Gospel and heard its witness as faithful to their understanding of Jesus. Like the Markan Gospel itself, the image of Mark the Evangelist helped the early church in the formation of its religious memory and theological identity.
