Author: John Ashton

ISBN: 9004272046

Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
A collection of twenty-one essays clustered around the theme of apocalyptic—revelations of hitherto undisclosed divine mysteries to human seers, either directly or through the mediation of an interpreting angel. Preliminary essays on the Book of Job, Messianism, and apocalyptic ethics are followed by five studies centred upon Jewish apocalypses composed around the turn of the era, two anonymous, three pseudonymous, and four essays on New Testament writers, two on Paul, one on Mark, and one on John. A reflection upon an early Islamic convert from Judaism, emphasizing the ‘Abrahamic-lexicon’ common to all three religions of the book, is succeeded by essays on two medieval Christian visionaries, Joachim of Fiore and Francis of Assisi. After a further essay on a little known Syriac apocalyptic text the volume concludes with studies of four different aspects of the Book of Revelation itself.

Isis Unveiled
Author: H. P. Blavatsky
Publisher: Quest Books
ISBN: 0835631753
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Creating a sensation when it was first published in 1877, the first major work by the young Russian noblewoman who would found the Theosophical Society devoted 1200 pages to the mysteries of ancient and modern science and theology. This new edition abridged by Theosophical scholar Michael Gomes breathes fresh life into this classic of Western esoteric thinking. Stripped of its lengthy quotations from other writers and its repetitious commentary, Isis Unveiled is revealed to be a clear and readable exploration of the universal truths of the Ancient Wisdom Tradition by one of the most remarkable women of modern times.

The Wisdom of God
Author: Nancy Guthrie
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433526352
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
This 10-week study of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon mines the Wisdom Literature not only for wise principles for living, but also for the wise person these books point to through their drama, poetry, proverb, and song. In her accessible and authentic style, Nancy Guthrie focuses on seeing Jesus in the Old Testament instead of emphasizing works-based moralism. She presents clear commentary and contemporary application of gospel truths, speaking directly to issues such as repentance, submission, happiness, and sexuality. Each weekly lesson includes questions for personal study, a contemporary teaching chapter that emphasizes how the passage fits into the bigger story of redemptive history, a brief section on how the passage uniquely points to what is yet to come at the consummation of Christ's kingdom, and a leader's guide for group discussion.

Pages : 166
Book Description
When author Bill Chipman first became a Christian, he began to devour Gods Word. He wanted to understand it in a practical way. How did it apply to the way he lived and thought and looked at things? And how did the whole Bible all fit together? The more he read, the more questions he had. Half a century has passed since he began his search. He found answers to his questions one by oneanswers that gave fresh insights into familiar topics. He found the answers to be practical, scriptural, and beautiful to reflect on. They brought all the pieces together in a way that made sense. And best of all, the big picture that emerged revealed that God never fails to love; that He is good, and never fails to do what is best; and that God never lies, but always stands by His Word. The picture that emerged is love beyond imagination.
