This book was released on 2013-02-08 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many, the Bible is a mysterious and “closed” book. However, Ephesians – 1st Century Background and 21st Century Applications seeks to “open” this great New Testament letter. Ephesians – 1st Century Background and 21st Century Applications give the reader or a study group the tools for understanding the historical, linguistic, geographical, literary, and theological foundations of the six chapters of Ephesians. Though some may view “Bible study” as merely increasing one?s “head knowledge” with little or no change in lifestyle, attitudes, or behavior, Ephesians – 1st Century Background and 21st Century Applications shows practical ways that one?s “lifestyle, attitude, and behavior may be shaped by the Scriptures.” The Biblical text for Ephesians – 1st Century Background and 21st Century Applications is a paraphrase created by the author and built upon the original Greek text plus several English and French translations. Ephesians – 1st Century Background and 21st Century Applications provides opportunities for you to change around: • God?s grace, love, and reconciliation through Christ?s death and resurrection. • The church is not a building or a bureaucracy, but it “exists wherever people are committed to Jesus and one another.” • How Christ wants to be “at home” in every aspect of life. • Building a strong marriage and family life.

Download or read book The Early Christians in Ephesus from Paul to Ignatius written by Paul Trebilco and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10-17 with total page 851 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The capital city of the province of Asia in the first century CE, Ephesus played a key role in the development of early Christianity. In this book Paul Trebilco examines the early Christians from Paul to Ignatius, seen in the context of our knowledge of the city as a whole. Drawing on Paul's letters and the Acts of the Apostles, Trebilco looks at the foundations of the church, both before and during the Pauline mission. He shows that in the period from around 80 to 100 CE there were a number of different communities in Ephesus that regarded themselves as Christians -- the Pauline and Johannine groups, Nicolaitans, and others -- testifying to the diversity of that time and place. Including further discussions on the Ephesus addresses of the apostle John and Ignatius, this scholarly study of the early Ephesian Christians and their community is without peer.

Download or read book Wealth in Ancient Ephesus and the First Letter to Timothy written by Gary G. Hoag and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-10-09 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars are divided in their views about the teachings on riches in 1 Timothy. Evidence that has been largely overlooked in NT scholarship appears in Ephesiaca by Xenophon of Ephesus and suggests that the topic be revisited. Recently dated to the mid-first century C.E., Ephesiaca brings to life what is known from ancient sources about the social setting and cultural rules of the wealthy in Ephesus and provides details that enhance our knowledge of life and society in that place and time. In this volume, Hoag introduces Ephesiaca and employs a socio-rhetorical methodology to explore it alongside other ancient evidence and five passages in 1 Timothy (2:9–15; 3:1–13; 6:1–2a; 6:2b–10; and 6:17–19). His findings augment our modern conception of the Sitz im Leben of the wealthy in Ephesus. Additionally, because Ephesiaca contains some rare terms and themes that are found in 1 Timothy, this groundbreaking research offers fresh insight for biblical reading and interpretation.

Book excerpt: The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God's Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) "Whole-Bible Connections" show how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) "Theological Soundings" identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God's grace on every page of the Bible. The letter to the Ephesians is a source of great encouragement, clearly proclaiming the mystery of the gospel and the supremacy of Jesus while applying that theology to practical living. Made alive in Christ, believers have received a bountiful inheritance and lavish blessings from God, fueling us for holy living. In this study, Eric Redmond opens our eyes to Paul's teaching about God's astonishing grace—grace that enables us to walk in love, holiness, and wisdom as we become imitators of Christ.
