Psalms 1-50
Author: Ellen T. Charry
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 9781587431579
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The biblical psalms are perhaps the most commented-upon texts in human history. They are at once deeply alluring and deeply troubling. In this addition to the acclaimed Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible, a highly respected scholar offers a theological reading of Psalms 1-50, exploring the various voices in the poems to discern the conversation they engage about God, suffering, and hope as well as ways of community belonging. The commentary examines the context of the psalms as worship--tending to both their original setting and their subsequent Jewish and Christian appropriation--and explores the psychological dynamics facing the speaker. Foreword by William P. Brown.

The Pastoral Epistles with Philemon & Jude
Author: Risto Saarinen
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 1587431548
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 14
Book Description
Pastors and leaders of the classical church--such as Augustine, Calvin, Luther, and Wesley--interpreted the Bible theologically, believing Scripture as a whole witnessed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Modern interpreters of the Bible questioned this premise. But in recent decades, a critical mass of theologians and biblical scholars has begun to reassert the priority of a theological reading of Scripture. The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible enlists leading theologians to read and interpret Scripture for the twenty-first century, just as the church fathers, the Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did for their times and places. This addition to the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible offers a new interpretation of the theology and the narrative context of 1st and 2nd Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Jude. Risto Saarinen makes three unique claims: 1) the Pastoral Epistles need to be understood in terms of character formation and diagnostic language, 2) the treatment of gifts and giving is a prominent feature of the epistles, and 3) a theological exegesis of these books results in a new view regarding the nature of doctrine. This commentary, like each in the series, is designed to serve the church--through aid in preaching, teaching, study groups, and so forth--and demonstrate the continuing intellectual and practical viability of theological interpretation of the Bible.

Fighting On Our Knees
Author: Rory Noland
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
As modern society becomes increasingly secular, Christians today find themselves living in a world that is not only diametrically opposed to their faith, but also downright hostile about it. While living in what has been deemed an anti-Christian culture, characterized by a vehemently negative view of both Christianity and Christians, we are locked in a fight-to-the-finish battle with the forces of evil. Rory Noland calls and equips twenty-first century Christians to engage in spiritual warfare by praying the Psalms—the same book of prayers that ministered to the Israelites of old and served as their collective voice in turbulent times. He highlights a group of psalms that address three specific areas currently under spiritual attack—the family, the church, and the culture at large. Each chapter focuses on a particular psalm, presents a verse-by-verse devotional commentary, and concludes with prayer exercises based on that psalm. Throughout his presentation, Noland encourages Christians to stay vigilant in the all-important kingdom work called prayer. Fighting on Our Knees calls and equips Christians to engage in spiritual warfare by praying psalms that address three vital areas: family, church, and culture.

Judges
Author: Abraham Kuruvilla MD
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498298230
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Judges: A Theological Commentary for Preachers engages hermeneutics for preaching, employing theological exegesis that enables the preacher to utilize all the units of the letter to craft effective sermons. This commentary unpacks the crucial link between Scripture and application: the theology of each preaching text (i.e., what the author is doing with what he is saying). Judges is divided into fourteen preaching units and the theological focus of each is delineated. The overall theological trajectory or theme of the book deals with the failure of leadership in the community of God's people. Since God's people are all called to be leaders in some arena, to some degree, in some fashion, the lessons of Judges are applicable to all Christians. The specific theological thrust of each unit is captured in this commentary, making possible a sequential homiletical movement through each pericope of Judges. While the primary goal of the commentary is to take the preacher from text to theology, it also provides two sermon outlines for each of the twelve preaching units of Judges. The unique approach of this work results in a theology-for-preaching commentary that promises to be useful for anyone teaching through Judges with an emphasis on application.

Genesis

Languages : en
Pages : 653
Book Description
Genesis: A Theological Commentary for Preachers engages hermeneutics for preaching, employing theological exegesis that enables the preacher to utilize all the narrative units of the book to craft effective sermons. This commentary unpacks the crucial link between Scripture and application: the theology of each preaching text, i.e., what the author is doing with what he is saying. Genesis is thus divided into thirty-five narrative units and the theological focus of each is delineated. The overall theological trajectory/theme of the book--divine blessing: creating for blessing (Gen 1-11), moving towards blessing (Gen 12-24), experiencing the blessing (Gen 25-36), and being a blessing (Gen 37-50)--is thus progressively developed. The specificity of these theological ideas for their respective texts makes possible a sequential homiletical movement through each pericope of the book, enabling the expositor to discover valid application for sermons. While the primary goal of the commentary is to take the preacher from text to theology, it also provides two sermon outlines for each of the thirty-five units of Genesis. The unique approach of this work results in a theology-for-preaching commentary that promises to be useful for anyone teaching through Genesis with an emphasis on application.
