Download or read book The Religions of Ancient Israel written by Ziony Zevit and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2003-06-01 with total page 852 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most far-reaching interdisciplinary investigation into the religion of ancient Israel ever attempted. The author draws on textual readings, archaeological and historical data and epigraphy to determine what is known about the Israelite religions during the Iron Age (1200-586 BCE). The evidence is synthesized within the structure of an Israelite worldview and ethos involving kin, tribes, land, traditional ways and places of worship, and a national deity. Professor Zevit has originated this interpretive matrix through insights, ideas, and models developed in the academic study of religion and history within the context of the humanities. He is strikingly original, for instance, in his contention that much of the Psalter was composed in praise of deities other than Yahweh. Through his book, the author has set a precedent which should encourage dialogue and cooperative study between all ancient historians and archaeologists, but particularly between Iron Age archaeologists and biblical scholars. The work challenges many conclusions of previous scholarship about the nature of the Israelites' religion.
Download or read book Religion and Enlightenment in Catherinian Russia written by Elise Kimerling Wirtschafter and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This valuable study explores the Russian Enlightenment with reference to the religious Enlightenment of the mid to late eighteenth century. Grounded in close reading of the sermons and devotional writings of Platon (Levshin), Court preacher and Metropolitan of Moscow, the book examines the blending of European ideas into the teachings of Russian Orthodoxy. Highlighting the interplay between Enlightenment thought and Orthodox enlightenment, Elise Wirtschafter addresses key questions of concern to religious Enlighteners across Europe: humanity's relationship to God and creation, the distinction between learning and enlightenment, the role of Christian love in authority relationships, the meaning of free will in a universe governed by Divine Providence, and the unity of church, monarchy, and civil society. Countering scholarship that depicts an Orthodox religious culture under assault from European modernity and Petrine absolutism, Wirtschafter emphasizes the ability of Russia's educated churchmen to assimilate and transform Enlightenment ideas. The intellectual and spiritual vitality of eighteenth-century Orthodoxy helps to explain how Russian policymakers and intellectuals met the challenge of European power while simultaneously coming to terms with the broad cultural appeal of the Enlightenment's universalistic human rights agenda. Religion and Enlightenment in Catherinian Russia defines the Russian Enlightenment as a response to the allure of European modernity, as an instrument of social control, and as the moral voice of an emergent independent society. Because Russia's enlightened intellectuals focused on the moral perfectibility of the individual human being, rather than social and political change, the originality of the Russian Enlightenment has gone unrecognized. This study corrects images of a superficial Enlightenment and crisis-ridden religious culture, arguing that in order to understand the humanistic sensibility and emphasis on individual dignity that permeate Russian intellectual history, and the history of the educated classes more broadly, it is necessary to bring Orthodox teachings into the discussion of Enlightenment thought. The result is a book that explains the distinctive origins of modern Russian culture while also allowing scholars to situate the Russian Enlightenment in European and global history.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Bible and Ecology written by Hilary Marlow and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental issues are an ever-increasing focus of public discourse and have proved concerning to religious groups as well as society more widely. Among biblical scholars, criticism of the Judeo-Christian tradition for its part in the worsening crisis has led to a small but growing field of study on ecology and the Bible. This volume in the Oxford Handbook series makes a significant contribution to this burgeoning interest in ecological hermeneutics, incorporating the best of international scholarship on ecology and the Bible. The Handbook comprises 30 individual essays on a wide range of relevant topics by established and emerging scholars. Arranged in four sections, the volume begins with a historical overview before tackling some key methodological issues. The second, substantial, section comprises thirteen essays offering detailed exegesis from an ecological perspective of selected biblical books. This is followed by a section exploring broader thematic topics such as the Imago Dei and stewardship. Finally, the volume concludes with a number of essays on contemporary perspectives and applications, including political and ethical considerations. The editors Hilary Marlow and Mark Harris have drawn on their experience in Hebrew Bible and New Testament respectively to bring together a diverse and engaging collection of essays on a subject of immense relevance. Its accessible style, comprehensive scope, and range of material means that the volume is a valuable resource, not only to students and scholars of the Bible but also to religious leaders and practitioners.

Download or read book Treasured Tales of Homeschool written by Judy Zwirblis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Judy Zwirblis taught children in her home for more than twenty years. During this time, she noticed that the ordinary days of homeschooling were moments of the Lords gentle touch, the teaching of his love. In Treasured Tales of Homeschool, she shares the signs, wonders, and miracles the Lord provided while she homeschooled her children. Each personal account reflects the purpose of family and how children learn their God-ordained destiny by knowing who they are in Christ. Using Zwirblis personal and professional experiences, Treasured Tales of Homeschool provides witness to both the far-reaching problems in families and schools and how parents and grandparents can teach children according to the word of God and reap wonderful results. Filled with key biblical principles Zwirblis discovered while teaching her own boys and working with at-risk children, the stories share God encounters and spiritual insights into the heart of God. Praise for Treasured Tales of Homeschool: My heart was warmed and my emotions touched as I read through Treasured Tales of Homeschool: An Inspiration for Parents by Judy Zwirblis. Being an educator for more than thirty years, this book has encouraged me and reinforced my own conviction for Christian education through the life experiences of the Zwirblis family: lessons of fathering and mothering under the mighty hand of the Holy Spirit revealed such great biblical lessons of faith, challenge, nurture, trust, vision, and even letting go (Dr. Ronald L. Bernier, Senior Pastor, Master Builder Ministries and Headmaster, East Gate Christian Academy).
Download or read book From and Before God written by Sugel Michelén and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine this scene. You are standing in the pulpit of your church preaching on a Sunday morning. Without your knowledge, the Lord Jesus himself is sitting in the last row, listening attentively to what you’re saying. How would this reality impact your preaching? The truth is that this is no mere illustration: the Lord is present in His churches every Sunday, listening to the preaching of His Word. The apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 2:17 that ministers are to preach “as from God and before God.” Those who preach God’s Word are commissioned by God to preach, and they do their preaching before God, for an audience of one. This, according to Sugel Michelén, is the biblical foundation for expository preaching—preaching that draws out what is in the Word of God. In this work, Michelén, regarded as one of the best preachers in the Spanish-speaking church, makes a biblical case for expository preaching and models for readers how to prepare and preach as from and before God.
