Pages : 299
Book Description
In Christianity and Anti-Christianity in Their Final Conflict, Samuel James Andrews examines the religious tendencies of the present day and their bearing on the Divine purpose for humanity as revealed in the Scriptures. Rather than focusing on historical or polemical aspects, Andrews re-examines prophetical problems in light of current events, believing that as God's purpose draws nearer to fulfillment, distinctive features of that fulfillment will become apparent. This thought-provoking work invites readers to consider the stage of God's plan we have reached and the religious characteristics of our time.

ISBN:
Category : Antichrist

Pages : 358
Book Description
Here is a book so contemporary in its message, so accurate in its estimation of the present age, that one incredulously learns this work was authored in 1898. Of course, there is only one explanation -- Samuel J. Andrews knew the timeless and inerrant Word of God. Christianity and Anti-Christianity is essential reading for those who seek to better understand the past, the present, and the future of world conflict. There is no sensationalism here -- just authoritative objectivity. The perplexing events of our time are made clear when examined in the light of the Scripture. There is order in the disorder; there is supernatural warfare directing the struggle between the nations; there will be a Victor and the vanquished. Apart from an understanding of this supernatural conflict, it is not possible for the Christian to intelligently evaluate his responsibility and act upon it. The Bob Jones University Press reprints this volume as an aid for all those who desire to rightly divide the Word of Truth. - Jacket.

Christianity, Empire, and the Making of Religion in Late Antiquity
Author: Jeremy M. Schott
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812203461
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
In Christianity, Empire, and the Making of Religion in Late Antiquity, Jeremy M. Schott examines the ways in which conflicts between Christian and pagan intellectuals over religious, ethnic, and cultural identity contributed to the transformation of Roman imperial rhetoric and ideology in the early fourth century C.E. During this turbulent period, which began with Diocletian's persecution of the Christians and ended with Constantine's assumption of sole rule and the consolidation of a new Christian empire, Christian apologists and anti-Christian polemicists launched a number of literary salvos in a battle for the minds and souls of the empire. Schott focuses on the works of the Platonist philosopher and anti- Christian polemicist Porphyry of Tyre and his Christian respondents: the Latin rhetorician Lactantius, Eusebius, bishop of Caesarea, and the emperor Constantine. Previous scholarship has tended to narrate the Christianization of the empire in terms of a new religion's penetration and conquest of classical culture and society. The present work, in contrast, seeks to suspend the static, essentializing conceptualizations of religious identity that lie behind many studies of social and political change in late antiquity in order to investigate the processes through which Christian and pagan identities were constructed. Drawing on the insights of postcolonial discourse analysis, Schott argues that the production of Christian identity and, in turn, the construction of a Christian imperial discourse were intimately and inseparably linked to the broader politics of Roman imperialism.

The Case for Christ
Author: Lee Strobel
Publisher: ReadHowYouWant.com
ISBN: 1458759202
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
The book consists primarily of interviews between Strobel (a former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune) and biblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger. Each interview is based on a simple question, concerning historical evidence (for example, "Can the Biographies of Jesus Be Trusted?"), scientific evidence, ("Does Archaeology Confirm or Contradict Jesus' Biographies?"), and "psychiatric evidence" ("Was Jesus Crazy When He Claimed to Be the Son of God?"). Together, these interviews compose a case brief defending Jesus' divinity, and urging readers to reach a verdict of their own.

The Final Pagan Generation
Author: Edward J. Watts
Publisher: University of California Press
ISBN: 0520379225
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
A compelling history of radical transformation in the fourth-century--when Christianity decimated the practices of traditional pagan religion in the Roman Empire. The Final Pagan Generation recounts the fascinating story of the lives and fortunes of the last Romans born before the Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity. Edward J. Watts traces their experiences of living through the fourth century’s dramatic religious and political changes, when heated confrontations saw the Christian establishment legislate against pagan practices as mobs attacked pagan holy sites and temples. The emperors who issued these laws, the imperial officials charged with implementing them, and the Christian perpetrators of religious violence were almost exclusively young men whose attitudes and actions contrasted markedly with those of the earlier generation, who shared neither their juniors’ interest in creating sharply defined religious identities nor their propensity for violent conflict. Watts examines why the "final pagan generation"—born to the old ways and the old world in which it seemed to everyone that religious practices would continue as they had for the past two thousand years—proved both unable to anticipate the changes that imperially sponsored Christianity produced and unwilling to resist them. A compelling and provocative read, suitable for the general reader as well as students and scholars of the ancient world.
