Book excerpt: "Is the Bible the unembellished Word of God or the product of human agency? There are different answers to that question. And they lie at the heart of this book's powerful exploration of the fraught ways in which money, race and power shape the story of Christianity in American public life. The authors' subject is the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC: arguably the latest example of a long line of white evangelical institutions aiming to amplify and promote a religious, political, and moral agenda of their own. In their careful and compelling investigation, Jill Hicks-Keeton and Cavan Concannon disclose the ways in which the Museum's exhibits reinforce a particularized and partial interpretation of the Bible's meaning. Bringing to light the Museum's implicit messaging about scriptural provenance and audience, the authors reveal how the MOTB produces a version of the Bible that in essence authorizes a certain sort of white evangelical privilege; promotes a view of history aligned with that same evangelical aspiration; and above all protects a cohort of white evangelicals from critique. They show too how the Museum collapses vital conceptual distinctions between its own conservative vision of the Bible and 'The Bible' as a cultural icon. This revelatory volume above all confirms that scripture - for all the claims made for it that it speaks only divine truth - can in the end never be separated from human politics"--

Download or read book A Vision of Judgment written by H. G. Wells and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man is awoken in his grave by the sound of trumpets on judgment day. As the first souls come before God and Archangel Gabriel for the last judgment, the man soon discovers that judgement day is not quite how he imagined. God and Archangel Gabriel laugh at saints and sinners alike until they are so embarrassed that they flee "up the sleeve of God" where they are enlightened, given new bodies and a second chance. When God shakes them from his sleeve they land on a foreign planet and humanity is instructed to "try again" with their newfound understanding. This science-fiction fantasy take on a religious parable is written by the author of the science fiction classic 'The War of the Worlds', H.G. Wells. 'A Vision of Judgment' is a satirical short story that could easily be a precursor to comedy-drama 'The Good Place' or animated film 'Soul'. H.G. Wells (1866 – 1946) was a prolific writer and the author of more than 50 novels. In addition, we wrote more than 60 short stories, alongside various scientific papers. Many of his most famous works have been adapted for film and television, including ‘The Time Machine,’ starring Guy Pearce, ‘War of the Worlds,’ starring Tom Cruise, and ‘The Invisible Man,’ starring Elizabeth Moss. Because of his various works exploring futuristic themes, Wells is regarded as one of the ‘Fathers of Science Fiction.’
Download or read book The End Times written by Timothy Klaver and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a well-reasoned and easy-to-follow expository look at Scripture that allows you to see what the Bible truly has to say on the doctrines of the Rapture, the 7-year Great Tribulation, the Millennial Kingdom, and more. "It is my desire . . . to help my fellow Christians to look at Scripture plainly and clearly, allowing it to say what it says without any interference by us. I have attempted to lay out each chapter as if it were a Bible study on its own. The aim of this book is to help clear away the fogs of confusion that are out there so that believers can return to a simple faith and acceptance of the teachings of the Word of God."This book attempts to lead the believer by the hand so that they may see with their own eyes what Scripture truly has to teach us. In a world blinded by many man-governed theories, teachings, and theologies, believers often fail to pay attention to the finer details contained in the words of Scripture in favour of the things they have been taught or raised to believe. With this book, Timothy Klaver attempts to lead believers to a point where they hold the words of Scripture above and beyond any teachings they may have received or been raised with. He attempts to bring believers to a point where they conform their beliefs to the truths revealed in Scripture, rather than trying to force Scripture to conform to their individual beliefs.Timothy constantly reminds his readers not to blindly accept what someone, including himself, has to say about Bible passages, but for them to be like the noble Bereans who searched the Scriptures to make sure what even the Apostle Paul taught them was true and accurate. Timothy constantly reminds his readers to pay attention to the context surrounding a particular verse as it often changes the meaning from what those who rip it from its context want you to believe about it.

Download or read book Gospelbound written by Collin Hansen and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.
