The Final Days of Jesus
Author: Mark D. Smith
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 071889510X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
In The Final Days of Jesus, Mark Smith brings his experience as a classical historian to bear on the life of the historical Jesus, piecing together the volatile political context of first-century Judaea, as well as the lives of Pontius Pilate, Annas, and Joseph Caiaphas. The claim that 'the Jews crucified Jesus' has spawned a long and tragic history of Christian anti-Semitism. Smith challenges this claim through detailed exploration of Roman, Jewish, and Christian written sources and a broad range of archaeological evidence, such as the ossuary of Caiaphas, the 'Hidden Gate', and the rich vein of research devoted to the archaeology of ritual purity. The result is an earthy and nuanced portrait of Jewish life under Roman rule. From his discussion of the multiplicity and brutality of Roman executions to the intricate personal relationships among elites that provided the means of collaboration and redress, Smith details the complex push-pull of forces between Rome and the Temple as they collided in one history-changing week.

Dogma
Author: John V. Patrick
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1483659194
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
Dogma is based on beliefs that have established the state of mental evolution of man and is based on his history of mental consciousness. It establishes factors which influenced our present psyche and its progression leading to our present dismal state of affairs. It outlines, projects and recommends future changes in attitudes and conditions which may have profound influences of the future of our planet. More specifically, it recommends changes dictated by a more diverse America, with equally diverse attitudes towards each other, coupled with needed changes in competitive relationships and Christian attitudes of how we relate to each other. Dogma explores the most reflective changes in the path to our future quality of life, liberty and happiness which are reflected by our education system where the whys, whose and whats of how we educate our people, must be in prime focus to augment realistic progress towards our desired goals. Because of complexities dictated by the psychological research involving diverse people, Dogma recommends that our educational system be changed to a more technically based system capable of better analytical analysis involving multiple and more complicated interactions characteristic of problems of the mind. The contentions of Dogma lay heavily with unexplained life observations and studies coupled with diligent applications of scientific methods to answer the complex questions posed future trends. For example, Why do poorer nations display increased dogmatic attitudes than more developed nations? And, why do more developed nations acquiesces to and accepts things that are obviously not correct? What are the causes of mass murders, and poor academic performances of minority groups? Why is compromise such a dirty word? The answers cannot be in more incarcerations or more wars. The recommended corrections in dogma are based on solid scientific rational and real life experiences. Therefore, the contentions and recommendations of Dogma are alive and well. And, so is the fact that additional researches on these subjects are necessary and valid for our effective continued evolution.

Guilt
Author: June Hunt
Publisher: Rose Publishing
ISBN: 1596368098
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Guilt: Living Guilt-Free Do you feel free, unburdened by sin and guilt? Or are you still dealing with guilt? Still dealing with shame? Are you living life with a master list of "Do's and Don'ts" in your heart? When your faith produces false guilt and shame rather than reduce guilt, then you may have adopted a wrong perspective of God, thinking he expects you to be a perfectionist. This Christian book, Guilt, by June Hunt shows how to trade the burden of guilt and sin for the freedom found in God's truth and light. The more you know the true characteristics of God—love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness—the less "false" guilt and shame you will experience in relation to your own sin. There are all types of guilt; from the normal expression you feel when you actually are at fault to false guilt related to self-condemnation and unmet expectations. This Christian book explains the characteristics of false guilt, the negative mindsets that come from false guilt, the sources of false guilt, the physical symptoms of unresolved guilt, and the difference between guilt-ridden reactions to criticism and guilt-free responses. It also walks you through how to let go of guilt and accept God's freedom—for good. In the section titled, "Steps to Solution," June Hunt gives you practical advice on how to: Set and reach new target goals (new priorities, purpose, and plan)Distinguish true guilt from false accusationsRecognize Satan's liesForgive yourself and accept forgivenessLive a guilt-free life God uses guilt to get our attention, but he never designed guilt to distress us forever. Learn how to identify true guilt that can lead us into healthy growth from false guilt that burdens us with shame. God set you free-learn how to live in the freedom he promises you!
