Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In one of the Book of Mormon's most magisterial passages, the lord of a vineyard looks over his beloved olive trees with great sorrow and strives to redeem them. This parable symbolizes Jesus Christ's labors to save not only individual souls, but an entire world. Perhaps more than any other Book of Mormon prophet, Jacob manifests the same divine anxiety, having been born in a 'wild wilderness' and inheriting the task of uniting a divided people."--Inside front cover.

Download or read book Christ Circumcised written by Andrew S. Jacobs and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-05-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first full-length study of the circumcision of Jesus, Andrew S. Jacobs turns to an unexpected symbol—the stereotypical mark of the Jewish covenant on the body of the Christian savior—to explore how and why we think about difference and identity in early Christianity. Jacobs explores the subject of Christ's circumcision in texts dating from the first through seventh centuries of the Common Era. Using a diverse toolkit of approaches, including the psychoanalytic, postcolonial, and poststructuralist, he posits that while seeming to desire fixed borders and a clear distinction between self (Christian) and other (Jew, pagan, and heretic), early Christians consistently blurred and destabilized their own religious boundaries. He further argues that in this doubled approach to others, Christians mimicked the imperial discourse of the Roman Empire, which exerted its power through the management, not the erasure, of difference. For Jacobs, the circumcision of Christ vividly illustrates a deep-seated Christian duality: the fear of and longing for an other, at once reviled and internalized. From his earliest appearance in the Gospel of Luke to the full-blown Feast of the Divine Circumcision in the medieval period, Christ circumcised represents a new way of imagining Christians and their creation of a new religious culture.

Download or read book Jesus Christ written by Jacob Oguntomilade, PH.D., Th.D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his authorship of the current book "Jesus Christ: The Eternal Rock of Ages," Prof. Jacob Oguntomilade brought to the fore the analytical nature of his primary profession in Engineering; additional his knowledge of Science, Geography, Philosophy and Theology did much to enhance the quality of the work. His main thrust is the structural analogy these where he uses the Earth's central crust to demonstrate successfully analogously the many faceted eternal truths of the Lord Jesus Christ as foundational, fundamental, crucial, and germaine respectively to Creation, to Covenants, to Salvation, to the Jesus revolutionary History, to Biblical History, to Church History as well as World History. The approach is excitingly unique very thrilling, and most delightful. The very peak of the presentation occurs in Chapters Seven and Eight where the seemingly intimidating illustrations bring clarity of understanding to the reader as it makes the work not only classical and analytical, but also demonstrative and comparative as well as utterly convincing that the Lord Jesus Christ is the spiritual Eternal Rock of all Ages. Intellectualism and Science must not be perceived as always rebelling against God; rather it is here used to edify the scriptural truth which God has revealed for the sanctification and salvation of man. Here Science is used not to tamper with the scriptural truth in the interest of any perceived human opinion; and intellectualism is not here substituting the folly of man for the wisdom of God. Indeed here the knowledge of Engineering and Structures has been utilized to bring glory to God. Earlier in the book Prof. Oguntomilade has clearly highlighted the three stages of the existence of the Lord Jesus: his pre-incarnate existence form eternal past; 33years on earth which is part of his incarnated, existence, and the post resurrection existence which infinitely extends to New Jerusalem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You'll Learn from Jacob, Who Moved from Manipulation to Trust in God. Jacob is a troubling character in the Old Testament. He is conniving and he is spiritual too. He has moments of strong faith as well as of fear. His family is sometimes in disarray, and yet at the end he is the one who sets it straight. Jacob the Patriarch is a bit too much like us -- with very human strengths and weaknesses, but a man with a striving for spiritual things. From this imperfect man we learn important lessons of faith. especially, about God's grace. The events described in Jacob's story comprise most of Genesis chapters 25-49. If you haven't read the Old Testament much, you'll be pleased to find that God will speak to you here -- loud and clear. Each of the seven detailed lessons include probing discussion questions and can be used for personal enrichment, by small groups and classes, and by teachers and preachers.
