Download or read book Abraham what happened written by Dennis Trimboli and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2021-04-18 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many academics write books about religious literacy, but few people outside of the ivy halls read them. The non-academic does not want to invest ample time reading the minutia, which they often contained. This book is a quick, non-academic read. First, it tells why it is critical to know about religion, even if you do not practice, are an agnostic, or even an atheist. Corporate America needs to know about religion too since they make policies that affect employees of different beliefs and frequently come under public scrutiny. Then the book helps you become literate by providing a quick study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The failure to know about religion can be costly financially, socially, and politically. Success demands that we become literate -- fast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Happened to Abraham? Reinventing the Covenant in American Jewish Fiction examines the ways in which contemporary American Jewish writers reinvent and reconfigure stories of the Hebraic covenant as a way of conceiving, negotiating, and redefining Jewish identity in America. In attempting to locate a place for Jewish identity at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first, American Jewish writers look to an imaginary memory to reengage a defining, central Jewish history that has, post-World War II, become diluted in American culture.

Download or read book Testament of Abraham written by Dale C. Allison and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first verse-by-verse commentary on the Greek text of the Testament of Abraham places the work within the history of both Jewish and Christian literature. It emphasizes the literary artistry and comedic nature of the Testament, brings to the task of interpretation a mass of comparative material, and establishes that, although the Testament goes back to a Jewish tale of the first or second century CE, the Christian elements are much more extensive than has previously been realized. The commentary further highlights the dependence of the Testament upon both Greco-Roman mythology and the Jewish Bible. This should be the standard commentary for years to come.

Download or read book The Ways of Judgement written by Oliver O'Donovan and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-29 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this probing book Oliver O'Donovan extends the exploration into the correspondence between theology and politics that he began in The Desire of the Nations. While that earlier work took as its starting point the biblical proclamation of God's authority, The Ways of Judgment approaches political theology from the political side. Responsive to developments such as the uncertain role of the United Nations after the Cold War and the expansion of the European Union, O'Donovan also draws on the extensive tradition of Christian political thought and a range of contemporary theologians. Rather than supposing, as does some political theology, that the right political orientations are well understood and that theological beliefs should be renegotiated to fit them, O'Donovan considers contemporary social and political realities to be impenetrably obscure and elusive. Finding the gospel proclamation luminous by contrast, O'Donovan sheds light from the Christian faith upon the intricate challenge of seeking the good in late-modern Western society. Pursuing his analysis in three movements, O'Donovan first considers the paradigmatic political act, the act of judgment, and then takes up the question of forming political institutions through representation. Finally, he tackles the opposition between political institutions and the church, provocatively investigating how Christians can be the community instructed by Jesus to "judge not."

Book excerpt: When we rewind history back to Abraham’s era, we encounter people who concocted false superstitions to explain the unexplainable.

The man we know today as Abraham not only claimed that one true Creator existed but also staked his entire life on this belief. Why, thousands of years later, are we still discussing the faith of this desert nomad? One of America’s most popular Bible teachers Pastor Chuck Swindoll answers that question and many more in this compelling and insightful biography that will inspire your own faith.
