Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1997, examines the influence of angelology on the christology of the Apocalypse of John. In the Apocalypse, Jesus appears in glorious form reminiscent of angels in Jewish and Christian literature in the period between 200 BCE and 200 CE. Dr Carrell asks what significance this has for the christology of the Apocalypse. He concludes that by portraying Jesus in such a way that he has the form and function of an angel, and yet is also divine, the Apocalypse both upholds monotheism and at the same time provides a means for Jesus to be presented in visible, glorious form to his Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darrell D. Hannah engages the debate over 'angelomorphic Christology'.

Download or read book Angelomorphic Christology written by Gieschen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study demonstrates that angel and angel-related traditions, especially those growing from the so-called "Angel of the Lord" in the Hebrew Bible, had a significant impact on the origins and early development of Christology to the point that an Angelomorphic Christology is discernable in several first century texts. Significant effort is given to tracing the antecedents of this Christology in the angels and divine hypostases of the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple Jewish literature. The primary content of this volume is the presentation of pre-150 CE textual evidence of Angelomorphic Christology. This religio-historical study does not spawn a new Christology among the many scholarly "Christologies" already extant. Instead, it shows the interrelationship of various Christological trajectories and their adaptation from Jewish angelomorphic traditions.

Download or read book No Ordinary Angel written by Susan R. Garrett and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative, intelligent, and highly original addition to the Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library, Susan R. Garrett argues that angel talk has never been merely about angels. Rather, from ancient times until the present, talk about angels has served as a vehicle for reflection on other fundamental life questions, including the nature of God's presence and intervention in the world, the existence and meaning of evil, and the fate of humans after death. In No Ordinary Angel, Garrett examines how biblical and other ancient authors addressed such questions through their portrayals of angels. She compares the ancient angel talk to popular depictions of angels today and considers how the ancient and modern portraits of angels relate to Christian claims about Jesus. No Ordinary Angel offers important insights into the development of angelology, the origins of Christology, and popular Western spirituality ranging from fundamentalist to New Age. In doing so, it provokes stimulating theological reflection on key existential questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellent study of the origins and early development of Christology by James D. G. Dunn clarifies in rich detail the beginnings of the full Christian belief in Christ as the Son of God and incarnate Word. By employing the exegetical methods of "historical context of meaning" and "conceptuality in transition," Dunn illumines the first-century meaning of key titles and passages within the New Testament that bear directly on the development of the Christian understanding of Jesus.

Download or read book Angelology written by Dylan David Potter and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angels have fascinated people for millennia because they point to an invisible dimension that parallels our own. This book examines the different ways that angels have been portrayed at certain key points in biblical and theological history. By tracing patterns in the appearance of higher-order beings from their ancient Near Eastern origins, the Hebrew Scriptures, the writings of Pseudo-Dionysius, Thomas Aquinas, Karl Barth, and even modern New Age writers, Angelology demonstrates that angels allow various authors to emphasise divine transcendence, immanence, and creativity. Identifying the theological purpose underlying the depiction of angels at certain key points in the history of their use raises new questions about how angels are to be understood by people today.

Download or read book Michael and Christ Michael Traditions and Angel Christology in Early Christianity written by Darrell D. Hannah and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years a number of New Testament scholars have argued that Jewish beliefs and traditions about the principal angel hold the key to understanding why early Christians came to make such exalted claims about Jesus of Nazareth. Jewish and early Christian traditions about the archangel Michael provide a ready test for this thesis. For Michael is very often the principal figure in Jewish and early Christian angelology. Darrell D. Hannah examines Michael traditions from the Old Testament, Jewish apocalyptic, Qumran, Philo, the Rabbis, Merkabah mysticism, the New Testament, Christian apocalyptic, the New Testament Apocrypha, and the Fathers of the second century. From this mass of literature three forms of angelic Christology are evidenced. First, some early 'orthodox' Christians developed an 'theophanic angel Christology'. That is, they interpreted Old Testament passages about the 'angel of the Lord' as 'pre-incarnate manifestations' of Christ. Secondly, some 'heretical' forms of Jewish Christianity identified Christ as an incarnation of the highest archangel. Finally, some Christians found in Jewish speculations about the Principal Angel (Michael, Metatron, Yahoel, etc.) a conceptual framework within which to place a second divine figure. Principal angel traditions, particularly those about the archangel Michael, were useful for elucidating the significance of Christ. However, 'orthodox' Christians who made use of these traditions were very careful to avoid any implication that Christ possessed an angelic nature. 'Orthodox' Christians never regarded Christ merely as an angel, not even as the angel. The Shepherd of Hermas identified Christ with Michael, but would seem to have been unique in this.

Book excerpt: What are angels? Who are they and what can we learn from them? In Scripture, angels are mentioned over 250 times in thirty-four books of the Bible. Angels were present, rejoicing at God's forming of the earth (Job 38:4-7). They visited Abraham's house and brought judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen 18, 19:13). They were involved with the transmission of the Ten Commandments to Moses (Gal 3:19). An angel gave prophecies to Daniel about Israel's future (Dan 9, 10). Likewise, an angel prophesied the messiah's birth to both Mary and Joseph (Matt 1, Lk 1). An angel strengthened Christ after he experienced temptation in the wilderness (Lk 22:43). An angel set Peter free from prison (Acts 12:7-10), and one comforted Paul before his shipwreck in the ocean (Acts 27:23-24). Angels will be involved with administering judgment throughout the Great Tribulation (Rev 8) and will come with Christ to judge the earth (Matt 16:27). Throughout Scripture, angels are everywhere! In Angelology, we will consider many questions about angels, including who they are, their creation, types of angels, specific angels, their ministry, their future, and much more. The study of angels is not just speculative; we can learn a great deal from them, as they are fellow servants and worshipers of God (Rev 22:9). Let's study angelology together with the Bible Teacher's Guide. "The Bible Teacher's Guide ... will help any teacher study and get a better background for his/her Bible lessons. In addition, it will give direction and scope to teaching of the Word of God. Praise God for this contemporary introduction to the Word of God." -Dr. Elmer Towns, Co-founder of Liberty University

Download or read book The Angel of the Countenance of God written by Vladislav Andrejev and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iconography is the study of the history, practice, and symbolism of painted Christian images. Iconology probes deeper still, into the "icon" of Divine Presence in the inner man, who is himself made "in the image [eikón] of God" (Gen 1:26), as the place where Wisdom seeks to make her home. Written by an iconographer with forty years' experience researching the nature and mission of the icon, The Angel of the Countenance of God explores the biblical epiphanies of God-their translation into images, their mythological parallels, and their Trinitarian and Christological implications. Drawing on his own icon-writing, V. L. Andrejev here focuses on the biblical theme of the "Angel of Jehovah," distinguishing the "created Angels" of the Heavenly Hierarchies from this "uncreated Angel" of Theophany, that divine Being Moses beheld in the flames of the Burning Bush, and Christian tradition depicts as the royal maiden Sophia, personification of the Wisdom of God. This distinction carries profound consequences for iconography, dogmatic theology, and discipleship. The icon written on a board is the "spoken" word made visual, but its final significance lies within each person. For it is man himself, as the living icon of the Image of God, who by means of the immaterial, essential Light of God makes visible in icons the "actions" of God. Icon-writing is "symbolic realism," and though not able to depict God, is able to depict the image of His actions. The fulfillment of the icon, the image of God, is love-the love uniting Bride and Bridegroom in the Song of Songs; that same love hymned by St Symeon the New Theologian and St Maximus the Confessor. The Angel of the Countenance of God will be of value to all who have an interest in iconography, Trinitarian Christology, Sophiology, and Eastern Christianity.

Download or read book Angelology written by Tommy Rodriguez, and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS SINGLE-PERSPECTIVE, ONENESS THEOLOGICAL Argument was written with the sole objective of providing understanding, clarity, revelation, as well as correction to all individuals-the Believer and non-Believer alike, with regard to an extremely misunderstood, controversial, as well as notoriously mis-taught subject matter-Angelology: The Doctrine of Angels (including, Demonology: The Doctrine of Demons). Now, in achieving this objective, I have chosen to utilize an in-depth approach of the Word of God. In short, I have provided numerous Scripture texts to aid towards complete understanding as well as clarity of this greatly debatable and grossly mis-taught Biblical subject matter. I would like to submit the following thesis statement as the Major Premise or Central Assertion of this theological thesis: Angels are Divinely-beautiful, created spiritual beings with moral judgment and Freewill. The Minor Premise or General Presupposition, then, rests solely upon the following Claim: Despite the war in Heaven, all Angels have maintained their God-given appearance as well as their heavenly-created hierarchal structure. In short, I will provide sound Biblical Evidence that all Angels are masculine as well as that they have maintained their heavenly appearance and hierarchal structure. Apostasy, then, is to be considered to hold to any other form of doctrine or belief that is contrary to this thesis. Hence, not only is any other belief that is contrary to this thesis seen as heresy, but it is to be acknowledged and accepted as false doctrine. Now, with this said, please allow me to state (for the record) that the current viewpoint of the Church (including Orthodoxy Christianity), then, may be said to be laden with numerous Scriptural inconsistencies. In other words, in doing my own Biblical study and research, I have encountered much error being taught within numerous Christian denominations (i.e., Orthodoxy Christianity) as being Biblical. With this said, contrary to standard expository writing guidelines, it is my professional opinion that this has occurred due to a lack of Biblical understanding, faulty Biblical research, spiritual blindness and deafness, improper application of hermeneutics and exegesis, as well as being guilty of not having a proper walk with God (c.f., Ephesians 3:17). This, unfortunately, has caused non-Biblical doctrinal teaching that has led to false doctrine regarding Angelology (again, including Demonology). Now, I make such a frank statement, because what is presented to you within this Single-perspective, Oneness Theological Argument, not only offers the most complete explanation of Angelology, but it provides the best Biblical Evidence as to why this Theological Argument is the most persuasive Oneness Christian Doctrinal viewpoint-it presents the most solid Biblical, contextual, hermeneutical, exegetical, and historical presentation! By the way, this Theological Thesis will be presented from a purely Apostolic Doctrinal perspective-God's perspective. As you read through this Single-perspective, Oneness Theological Argument, I ask that you momentarily suspend your doctrinal viewpoint, background, and/or tradition, then sincerely pray-seeking after The Wisdom and Counsel of God-asking God to unveil His truth, and to provide complete understanding (including clarity, if needed) of this profound subject matter. But most importantly, to reveal the spiritual insight regarding Angels (whether Heavenly or Fallen) as is plainly described throughout the Word of God.
