Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a welcome accompaniment to college and seminary courses but equally helpful to any who want to read the Christian Scriptures (or the latest bestseller on them) with a sharp yet appreciative eye."---Susan R. Garrett, Professor of New Testament, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary "Academic study of the New Testament and its origins often prompts Christians to rethink their assumptions about the Bible and how it matters for their lives. But out of these experiences can emerge a more robust and responsible understanding of Scripture. Jaime Clark-Soles knows all this very well; she is a hospitable and lively guide into the most crucial `big issues' that students must consider as they seek to engage the New Testament deeply with their hearts, souls, and minds."---Matthew L. Skinner, Associate Professor of New Testament, Luther Seminary Most Christians and many new students are unaware of the doctrinal debates taking place within the religious academic community. Clark-Soles invites us to find common ground by considering the various debates, the reasons they persist, the implications of each, and how they pertain to Christian identity and faith within the larger contemporary culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What-The-What Is Going On At Church Have you ever been in a room and everyone is smiling but you’re not. You feel as though something is missing and wrong? Today people are esteeming culture, tradition, and ethnicity above the Church with lukewarm standards and dismissal of any Scripture that requires humility, meekness, and change in character and behavior. The Church is missing accountability for Righteous living. You know there is confusion when people try to make Christianity synonymous with other religions. People are trying to merge Christianity with other ideologies and beliefs, in order to substantiate lifestyle choices, root comes from the pit of Hell. Christianity is unique and set apart from all other faiths and religions. Christianity has the GODhead; a personal Saviour, Jesus Christ (fully GOD and fully human), the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit inside of Christian-Believers, and GOD the Father who is the mastermind over all things living and non-living. The GODhead is all power, all present, and all knowing. As Christian-Believers, we must come out of complacency to be an example of Jesus Christ to the world because people are lost. They need to know about the path of Christianity to the GODhead. Christianity is the way to bring order to all of this chaos and show the right path to everlasting life. I pray that this book will bring you to the Cross and strengthen your walk in Christianity. Motivate yourself to put Faith N Motion and begin to show What-The-What you are doing by Faith because without Faith it is impossible to please GOD. This book is written by Faith.

Download or read book The First Christian Believer written by Rivka Nir and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research on John the Baptist is fixated on reconstructing the historical John against the religious, social and ideological environment of first-century CE Judaism. The consensus is that this John originally lived and operated within Jewish society without any connection with the fledgling Christian community and was made the Messiah's forerunner only in later Christian tradition. In this study, Nir radically changes the focus for John the Baptist research. All our sources about John, she argues, tell us not about a historical person but lead us invariably to a character who exists essentially in early Christian literature. The Gospels are sources for Christian theology's world of beliefs, ideas and messianic perception in the first century, and its materials about John the Baptist are inevitably the handiwork of Christian tradition and its theological tendencies. Whatever we are told about John, how he looked, the baptism he instituted, the geographical arena of his activity, the speeches he made, his birth and death, is understandable - whether as isolated details or in their integration into a whole picture - only against the background of Christian theology and its Christology. As against prevailing research on John the Baptist, which aims to break through the Gospel tradition and expose his original Jewishness, Nir challenges us to draw lines of separation between John and Judaism, affirming his difference from Judaism. This Christian John, whom we can rightfully call the first Christian believer, is the only John the Baptist we can access.
Download or read book After You Believe written by N. T. Wright and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the acclaimed Simply Christian and Surprised by Hope comes a book that addresses the question that has plagued humans for centuries—what is our purpose? As Christians, what are we to do with that ambiguous time between baptism and the funeral? It's easy to become preoccupied with who gets into heaven; the real challenge is how we are going to live in the here and now. Wright dispels the common misconception that Christian living is nothing more than a checklist of dos and don'ts. Nor is it a prescription to "follow your heart" wherever it may lead. Instead, After You Believe reveals the Bible's call for a revolution—a transformation of character that takes us beyond our earthly pursuit of money, sex, and power into a virtuous state of living that allows us to reflect God and live more worshipful, fulfilling lives. We are all spiritual seekers, intuitively knowing there is more to life than we suspect. This is a book for anyone who is hoping there is something more while we're here on Earth. There is. We are being called to join the revolution, and Wright insightfully encourages readers to find new purpose and clarity by taking us on an eye-opening journey through key biblical passages that promise to radically alter the work of the church and the direction of our lives.

Download or read book Every Believer Confident written by Mark J. Farnham and published by AuthorLoyalty. This book was released on 2021-02-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the average Christian who longs to share their faith effectively but doesn't know where to begin, Every Believer Confident is the ultimate guidebook. All believers are called to make disciples and "give an answer" when objections are raised against the faith. Most Christians want to share and defend their beliefs, but they often feel ill-equipped. They desire to reach friends, family, coworkers, and classmates with the good news of Jesus Christ, but lack confidence and skill. They want to be like Jesus and effectively engage the lost with the powerful truth of the gospel. They just don't know how. What's needed is a way to simplify apologetics and make it accessible to the average church member who will never study philosophy or science. If every church member was indeed a skilled evangelist, churches would not have to depend on come-and-see events to reach the community, because every member would be practicing the go-and-tell approach Scripture assumes. Every Believer Confident: Apologetics for the Ordinary Christian simplifies the basic principles of apologetics and provides effective strategies for use in actual encounters with unbelievers. It provides a structure whereby any Christian can engage anyone they meet, move the conversation to spiritual matters, answer objections raised against the Christian faith, and present the gospel of Christ in all its glory and rationality.
