The Temple and the Tabernacle
Author: J. Daniel Hays
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493401564
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Grasp the Majesty, Beauty, and Significance of God's Dwelling Places At various points in Israel's history, God dwelt in specific, significant places, most notably in the tabernacle and the temple. These structures, meticulously planned, extravagantly furnished, and regularly frequented by the devout, were more than just places of worship and sacrifice. They were pictures of God's relationship with his chosen people and of the atoning work that would be done by the Messiah. To understand the tabernacle and the temple, then, is to understand how we are brought into God's family through the sacrifice of his only Son, Jesus. Visually stunning and theologically rich, this full-color resource brings together the latest scholarship and archeological discoveries to bring God's dwelling places alive for modern believers. It places these important structures in their historical and theological contexts, connects them with the overall biblical story, and shows how they bring meaning and depth to the faith of Christians today.

Temples for a Modern God
Author: Jay M. Price
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019992595X
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
After World War II, Americans constructed an unprecedented number of synagogues, churches, cathedrals, chapels, and other structures. The book is one of the first major studies of American religious architecture in the postwar period, and it reveals the diverse and complicated set of issues that emerged just as one of the nation's biggest building booms unfolded. Price argues that the resulting structures, as often mocked as loved, were physical embodiments of an important time in American religious history.

The Holiness of God
Author: R.C. Sproul
Publisher: NavPress
ISBN: 1496437217
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

A Doubter's Guide to Jesus
Author: John Dickson
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310571987
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Who was Jesus? Historical sources portray a person who was complex, multi-layered, and often contradictory to the tidy portrait that much of modern Christianity paints him as. Even the gospel accounts render him as both judge and healer, teacher and temple, servant and savior. A Doubter's Guide to Jesus is a persuasive and often challenging investigation into the historical figure found in the earliest sources. These sources, which include references both direct and indirect—from Roman, Jewish, and Christian accounts—offer us more than simple evidence that Jesus existed; they begin to form a picture that is both deeply credible and profoundly counterintuitive. Each chapter explores the evidence for a different aspect of the most influential figure in human history, exploring: His words and their impact. The scandal of his social life. His preference for the poor and lowly. The meaning of his death and influence of his promises. The goal is not to turn Jesus into something neater, more systematic and digestible; but to see him more clearly as someone who stretches our imaginations, confronts our beliefs, and challenges our lifestyles. After two millennia of spiritual devotion and more than two centuries of modern critical research, we still cannot fit Jesus into a box—and this is as challenging as it is deeply compelling.

Be Ye Transformed Leader's Guide
Author: Nancy Missler
Publisher: Koinonia House
ISBN: 9780975253441
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
The leader's guide provides answers to the workbook questions.Paul declares '...be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed [how?] by the renewing of your mind...' (Romans 12:2) This is our Biblical injunction from the Lord. The question is: How do we do it? What is the practical application of taking every thought captive, renewing our minds and putting on the Mind of Christ?In this sequel to The Way of Agape, Nancy shares that, ?without a renewed mind, our lives will remain the same as they've always been, no matter what we do or try. No matter how many Bible studies we attend, no matter how many Scriptures we know or how much we pray, without a mind change, our lives will still have the same problems, the same failures and the same defeats as they always have. The battle is truly waged in our minds!?--------------------------------------------------------------------- ?Be Ye Transformed is a must-read for anyone who wants to see a positive change in their Christian walk. It not only teaches us how to ?take every thought captive,? renew our minds and put on the Mind of Christ, it also contains an expansion of Nancy's original model of the human personality (i.e., the hidden chambers), which she meticulously crafted from the Scriptural pattern of Solomon's Temple. Practical, field-tested examples from years of ministry makes Be Ye Transformed a classic Christian work.'William P. Welty, M.

Hebrews and the Temple
Author: Philip Church
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004339515
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 633
Book Description
In Hebrews and the Temple Philip Church argues that the silence of Hebrews concerning the temple does not mean that the author is not interested in the temple. He writes to encourage his readers to abandon their preoccupation with it and to follow Jesus to their eschatological goal. Following extensive discussions of attitudes to the temple in the literature of Second Temple Judaism, Church turns to Hebrews and argues that the temple is presented there as a symbolic foreshadowing of the eschatological dwelling of God with his people. Now that the eschatological moment has arrived with the exaltation of Christ to the right hand of God, preoccupation with the temple and its rituals must cease.
