Download or read book Begat by God written by Dr. Benjamin Dadebo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of being born again appears misunderstood by many. Most people will tell you they want to go to Heaven. Yet the most important qualifi cation for entry into Heaven, being born again (born of water and of the spirit), is not embraced. This book Begat by God explains why without allowing the cleansing action of Christ, the word of God (being born of water), and the empowerment by the spirit (born of the spirit) to do the works pre-ordained by God, it is impossible to make it into Heaven. Thus being born again simply involves a continuous transformation because of a conscientious effort by an individual to allow Gods word (Christ) to dictate his way of life. Entry into Heaven is therefore not about religion, but about a purposeful transformation through Christ. The birth of an offspring always involves the development under water in a confi ned environment, over a specifi ed time frame, followed by an expulsion, into a completely new environment. This book describes the similarities between human physical birth and the Spiritual rebirth as in John 3. Thus the invisible attributes of God including His ideas can be gleaned from studying the natural processes of His creation (Romans 1:20).

Download or read book The God Who Begat a Jackal written by Nega Mezlekia and published by Picador. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Library Journal Best Book Nega Mezlekia's memoir Notes from the Hyena's Belly was described in the New York Times Book Review as "the most riveting book about Ethiopia since Ryszard Kapuscinski's literary allegory The Emperor and the most distinguished African literary memoir since Soyinka's Aké appeared 20 years ago." Mezlekia now offers a first novel steeped in African folklore and teeming with the class, ethnic and religious struggles of pre-colonial Africa. In The God Who Begat a Jackal, the 17th-century feudal system, vassal uprisings, religious mythology, and the Crusades are intertwined with the love between Aster, the daughter of a feudal lord, and Gudu, the court jester and family slave. Aster and Gudu's relationship is the ultimate taboo, but supernatural elements presage a destiny more powerful than the rule of man. With Mezlekia's enchanting storytelling and ironic humor, readers glimpse African deities that have long since weathered away and the social cleavages that have endured through time.

Download or read book The Book of Kings and Exilic Identity written by Nathan Lovell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-11 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nathan Lovell proposes that 1 and 2 Kings might be read as a work of written history, produced with the explicit purpose of shaping the communal identity of its first readers in the Babylonian exile. By drawing on sociological approaches to the role historiography plays in the construction of political identity, Lovell argues the book of Kings is intended to reconstruct a sense of Israelite identity in the context of these losses, and that the book of Kings moves beyond providing a reason for the exile in Israel's history, and beyond even connecting its exilic audience to that history. The book recalls the past in order to demonstrate what it means to be Israel in the (exilic) present, and to encourage hope for the Israelite nation in the future. After developing a reading strategy for 1–2 Kings that treats the book as a coherent narrative, Lovell examines the construction of Israelite identity within Kings under the headings of covenant, nationhood, land, and rule. In each case he suggests that the narrative of the book creates room for a genuine but temporary expression of Israelite identity in exile: genuine to show that it remains possible for Israel to be Yahweh's people during the exile, but temporary to encourage hope for a future restoration.
