Download or read book Isaac written by Shaul Bar and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his life, Isaac remained a passive tent dweller. He did not go to find a wife; his servant brought a wife to him. He did not go to war; and when conflict arose, he withdrew. In the story of his binding, he was passive, and it appears as though he was bound forever on the altar. Isaac was dominated by his father Abraham, his wife Rebecca, Abimelech king of Gerar, and his sons Jacob and Esau. For most of his life, he is led by others, and his actions are reactions to the developing situations. He appears to have little personality and is better known as the son of his father Abraham, or the father of his sons Jacob and Esau.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we focus on the great faith of the Patriachs, we often fail to see their humanity.

Throughout the book there are several reflection and application sections regarding their impact on our modern world.

Download or read book Our Redemptive Journey written by Michael Norten and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-03-08 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lives of the patriarchs can teach us many things about character, commitment, and the walk of faith. In this brief look at Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph in their historical context, Michael Norten has done a splendid job of explaining the biblical doctrine of sanctification. The give-and-take between the author and Rabbi Jake Cohen enables the reader to more easily understand all the nuances of sanctification. Michael Norten puts this doctrine on the lower shelf where anyone can see it and profit from its study. --Dr. Dennis A. Wright, president of lionandlambapologetics.org Michael Norten experienced the saving grace of God as a child and has continued to walk in that grace for many years. His explanation of God's grace that saves and sanctifies believers today, paralleled in the lives of the patriarchs, will encourage any modern pilgrim who is trekking through the valley of life on to glory. Michael's personal stories of experiencing that grace are fascinating and his heart to help others understand the grace of God in truth is soul stirring. Our Redemptive Journey is a must read. --Dr. Denis Kavanaugh, Bridges International Ambassador at University of South Florida Thank you, Michael Norten, for this wonderful book, a treasure from now on to any Christian pilgrim, from one who is young, growing in the faith, to a knowledgeable biblical scholar. I wondered if the character, Rabbi Cohen was a metaphor for our Lord Jesus. He invites us to sit across the table with us daily, having coffee, as we hear from Him in His Word and can now, with more understanding, discuss the wonders of the different types and promises of sanctification with the author of our salvation Himself! I was so enriched, lavishing in the loving truths explained. --Ellen Grigsby, strategic relationships director for Frontlines International
Download or read book Daily Life in Biblical Times written by Liora Ravid and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daily Life in Biblical Times is the English language edtion of the Hebrew title Hatanach Haya Be-emet published in Israel in 2009 by Yediot Acharonot. Why does the Bible support marriage to multiple wives? Why does only one son inherit his father's property? Is it possible that the journey's hardships and the severe shortage of food prevented Sarah from conceiving? In The Bible Really Happened, Dr. Liora Ravid follows in the footsteps of the biblical heroes, examining their stories based on the social and legal reality of their time. The book reconstructs the historical journey of Abraham and his family from Ur of the Chaldees to the land of Canaan - from a land that worshipped multiple idols to the land of the One God, the birthplace of David, the judges, the prophets, and Jesus. Ravid questions why the Bible begins with stories of the forefathers and foremothers, describing them as simple shepherds. Why were they so important? Ravid demonstrates that according to the pedigree in Genesis, the forefathers and foremothers originated from one noble family, the family that gave rise to King David, ancestor of the Messiah, and according to the New Testament, to Jesus as well. Readers of the English Bible are often unaware of the special writing style of the original Hebrew, which uses rich wordplay and double entendre to add multiple layers of color and depth to the text. Especially for the non-Hebrew reader, the author opens a window on this hidden world within the words.
Download or read book Jacob written by Yair Zakovitch and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIV A powerful hero of the Bible, Jacob is also one of its most complex figures. Bible stories recounting his life often expose his deception, lies, and greed—then, puzzlingly, attempt to justify them. In this book, eminent biblical scholar Yair Zakovitch presents a complete view of the patriarch, first examining Jacob and his life story as presented in the Bible, then also reconstructing the stories that the Bible writers suppressed—tales that were well-known, perhaps, but incompatible with the image of Jacob they wanted to promote. Through a work of extraordinary “literary archaeology,” Zakovitch explores the recesses of literary history, reaching back even to the stage of oral storytelling, to identify sources of Jacob's story that preceded the work of the Genesis writers. The biblical writers were skilled mosaic-makers, Zakovitch shows, and their achievement was to reshape diverse pre-biblical representations of Jacob in support of their emerging new religion and identity. As the author follows Jacob in his wanderings and revelations, his successes, disgraces, and disappointments, he also considers the religious and political environment in which the Bible was written, offering a powerful explication of early Judaism. /div

Book excerpt: Millennia have passed since Adam, Enoch, and Noah lived on the Earth, and with all the niceties of modern life, it can be hard for us to think of these Genesis patriarchs as more than just names on a page.

Download or read book The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs written by R. H. Charles and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excerpt from the INTRODUCTION - General Character of the Book: The book purports to give the last words, at the approach of death, of each of the twelve patriarchs to his sons. It is evident that the general idea of the book is based upon Jacob's last words to his sons as recorded in Gen. xlix. 1-27. Just as Jacob portrays the character of his sons and declares to them what shall befall them, so in our book each of the patriarchs is represented as describing, in some sense, his own character and as foretelling what shall come to pass among his posterity in the last times. From this latter point of view the book partakes of the character of a prophetic-apocalyptic work. In six of the testaments, those of Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Dan, Naphthali and Joseph, there is a certain correspondence between our book and Gen. xlix. regarding the characters of the patriarchs; as for the remaining six patriarchs no such correspondence exists.

This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle Finalist for the George Washington Prize Finalist for the Library of Virginia Literary Award A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Selection "An important book…[R]ichly rewarding. It is full of fascinating insights about Jefferson." —Gordon S. Wood, New York Review of Books Hailed by critics and embraced by readers, "Most Blessed of the Patriarchs" is one of the richest and most insightful accounts of Thomas Jefferson in a generation. Following her Pulitzer Prize–winning The Hemingses of Monticello¸ Annette Gordon-Reed has teamed with Peter S. Onuf to present a provocative and absorbing character study, "a fresh and layered analysis" (New York Times Book Review) that reveals our third president as "a dynamic, complex and oftentimes contradictory human being" (Chicago Tribune). Gordon-Reed and Onuf fundamentally challenge much of what we thought we knew, and through their painstaking research and vivid prose create a portrait of Jefferson, as he might have painted himself, one "comprised of equal parts sun and shadow" (Jane Kamensky).
