Sproul offers succinct answers to important questions often asked by Christians and thoughtful inquirers.

Download or read book Reading and Pronouncing Biblical Greek written by Philemon Zachariou and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites you to see not only how Hellenistic Koine ought to be pronounced but also why. Rigorously investigating the history of Greek orthography and sounds from classical times to the present, the author places linguistic findings on one side of the scale and related events on the other. The result is a balance between the evidence of the historical Greek sounds in Koine and pre-Koine times, and the political events that derailed those sounds as they were being transported through Europe's Renaissance academia and replaced them with Erasmian. This book argues for a return to the historical Greek sounds now preserved in Neohellenic (Modern Greek) as a step toward mending the Erasmian dichotomy that rendered post-Koine Greek irrelevant to New Testament Greek studies. The goal is a holistic and diachronic application of the Hellenic language and literature to illume exegetically the Greek text, as the New Testament contains numerous features that have close affinity with Neohellenic and should not be left unexplored.
Download or read book Born from Above Or Born Again written by Vance A. Stinson and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did Jesus tell Nicodemus that, to enter the Kingdom of God, he would have to be 'born from above'? Or did He say, 'You must be born again'? Many claim that 'born from above' is the correct translation. But is it?

Download or read book The Luminous Web written by Barbara Brown Taylor and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With her customary grace, intelligence and wit, Barbara Brown Taylor wonders why science and faith have become polarized in the popular imagination. She explores what quantum physics, the new biology and chaos theory can teach people of faith and why scientists sound like poets and why physicists use the language of imagination, ambiguity, and mystery that is also found in scripture. In explaining why the church should care about the new insights of science, Taylor suggests ways we might close the gap between spirit and matter, between the sacred and the secular, and celebrate our shared life in the “web of creation” where nothing is without consequence, where all things coexist, where faith and science together seek to discover the same truths about the universe.

Download or read book What It Means to Be Born from Above written by Rev Robert L. Whiteley and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biblical Jesus mandated that the qualification for Nicodemus and all who follow to enter the Kingdom of God was to be born again through baptism. Why? This short book answers the question. It traces humankind's failure to make amends for its disobedience causing God through His Son to find it necessary to create this mandate. What is equally important to understand is that the action of God the Father for 6,000 years through the education, leadership and ultimate sacrifice He made for us. It is this understanding that helps to make baptism of the Holy Spirit the most important decision of our earthly lives. This event needs to be celebrated.Robert L. Whiteley received his M.Div. from Lexington Theological Seminary in Lexington, KY. A second generation Floridian, he returned to serve 40 years in Florida churches as senior minister. He also served four years as a Chaplain in the US Army Reserve in Florida. Along with his pulpit ministry, he has published and supplied ministerial and worship aids for 30 years to churches across the country. In retirement he serves as interim minister where needed.

Download or read book The Deep Things of God Second Edition written by Fred Sanders and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of the Trinity is taught and believed by all evangelicals, but rarely is it fully understood or celebrated. In The Deep Things of God, systematic theologian Fred Sanders shows why we ought to embrace the doctrine of the Trinity wholeheartedly as a central concern of evangelical theology. Sanders demonstrates, engagingly and accessibly, that the doctrine of the Trinity is grounded in the gospel itself. In this book, readers will understand that a robust doctrine of the Trinity has massive implications for their lives, restoring depth to prayer, worship, Bible study, missions, tradition, and understanding of Christianity’s fundamental doctrines. This new edition includes a study guide with discussion questions, action points, recommended reading, and more.
Download or read book Living Hope written by William Orr and published by Sunstone Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of frequent and sometimes loose contemporary usage of the term "born again" (which is the King James version of the Bible's rendering of a phrase from John 3:3), the authors of this book attempt to examine what the New Testament reveals about the process of being "born from above" (which is a preferable translation of the Johannine phrase). The third chapter of the Gospel of John, with its grounding in old Testament prophecy, is examined in detail in order to see what Jesus says about this process of birth. Then four New Testament characters are discussed as "test" cases. On the basis of their analysis, the authors believe that "birth from above" is not some sudden cataclysmic and definitive alteration in the life of an individual but rather the beginning of a process which takes place in company, and sometimes in conflict, with others, in order that the divine society envisioned by Jesus may come into existence and thus replace the wrangle of warring element into which the world has been fractured. It is a means of bringing peace, which in the deepest Hebrew sense means ultimate well-being, into the world. This purpose of this book is to illuminate the possibility of establishing a world society that understands itself to be the family of God. * * * * * William Orr is Professor Emeritus of New Testament at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. He is, with James A. Walther, the author of the "Anchor Bible" volume on I Corinthians. William Guy is a poet, novelist, and translator, and an avid student of languages and literature.

The author alerts the readers of problems they may encounter when seeking to apply the passage and helps them think through the issues involved. This unique, award-winning commentary is the ideal resource for today's preachers, teachers, and serious students of the Bible, giving them the tools, ideas, and insights they need to communicate God's Word with the same powerful impact it had when it was first written.
