Compiled by different authors over the span of more than a thousand years, it offers a mix of myth, poetry, biography, history, and other literary genres, all with the purpose of providing insights on incredibly diverse topic and themes.

Chief among these are creation covenant, liberation, the human condition, the marginalized "other," and social justice. Chapter by chapter, these six themes are unpacked through careful observation and scholarly insight, followed by questions for discussion and reflection. Using real-world connections, pertinent artwork, informative and thought-provoking sidebars, and a robust bibliography, 'Reading the Old Testament Anew' is the perfect guide for exploring the ancient context and modern relevance of the Bible as it relates to some of today's most pressing themes" -- Publisher description.

Book Women in Ministry and the Writings of Paul

Download or read book Women in Ministry and the Writings of Paul written by Karen M., Karen M Elliot, C.PP.S. and published by Anselm Academic Christian Brothers Pub.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian tradition has generally used a patriarchal lens through which to view the emerging Church, a lens that privileges male leaders while minimizing the role of bold and fervent women in proclaiming the gospel message and ministering to God's people. Author Karen M. Elliott challenges this view, providing solid evidence for women's important and vibrant role in the life of Christian communities. Particularly, she examines the writings of Paul to identify in Church history women engaged as fellow missionaries and affirmed as energetic and valuable contributors to the spread of Christianity. In her discussions on the contribution of women in Church ministry from the second century to the present, Elliott closely examines the life, times, and writings of the Apostle Paul. Elliott offers compelling insights into the person of Paul by considering his religion, philosophy, and influence, as well as his theology of baptism, in an effort to establish a Church legacy that includes a strong ministerial role for women. Through writing that is intimate and thought-provoking, Elliott produces an engaging and easy-to-read text for college students--regardless of their religious background or belief--that establishes and affirms women as ministers in the life of the Church.
