Download or read book Philo of Alexandria s Exposition on the Tenth Commandment written by Hans Svebakken and published by Society of Biblical Lit. This book was released on 2012-10-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his comprehensive exposition of the Tenth Commandment (Spec. 4.79–131), Philo considers the prohibition “You shall not desire”: what sort of desire it prohibits (and why) and how the Mosaic dietary laws collectively enforce that prohibition. This volume offers the first complete study of Philo’s exposition, beginning with an overview of its content, context, and place in previous research. In-depth studies of Philo’s concept of desire and his concept of self-control provide background and demonstrate Philo’s fundamental agreement with contemporary Middle-Platonic moral psychology, especially in his theory of emotion (pathos). A new translation of the exposition, with commentary, offers a definitive explanation of Philo’s view of the Tenth Commandment, including precisely the sort of excessive desire it targets and how the dietary laws work as practical exercises for training the soul in self-control.

Download or read book Exposition of the Ten Commandments Volume One written by Pierre Viret and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-05-30 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If John Calvin was the consummate dogmatician and the prince of exegetes, Pierre Viret must be considered the finest ethicist and the most acute apologist of the sixteenth century. His strength was a domain often neglected because of its awkwardness: the application of the Word of God to all domains of life. His Exposition of the Ten Commandments is unquestionably the best commentary on the Decalogue that the Christian Church has ever known. Not only do we find here a detailed application of God's word to the practical problems of Christian living in every aspect of personal and social life, but this is done with an admirable sense of theological balance and of the delicate relation of dogmatics to ethics, together with the constant, implicit purpose of favoring the preaching of the gospel, of extending God's kingdom, and of bringing all honor and praise to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is high time that we finally begin to grasp the importance of this remarkable thinker, that we make his words available in English, and that we return to his vision of the application of the complete Word of God to all aspects of human life. Without such a return to Biblical reality, we can have no hope for the revival of the Church and for the restoration of its reformational influence over the entirety of culture and society." - Jean-Marc Berthoud, author and theologian Volume One (of the 2-volume set) is an English translation of the first part of Pierre Viret's commentary on the Ten Commandments published originally in French in 1554 under the title Exposition familiere sur les Dix Commandemens de la Loy, faite en forme de Dialogues. It later appeared in a slightly enlarged edition under the title Instruction Chrestienne en la doctrine de la loy et de l'Evangile, printed in Geneva by Jean Rivery (1564). The text of this book has been translated from the 1564 edition. With the intention of presenting his readers with an easily-understood, down-to-earth exposition of the Ten Commandments, Viret wrote his commentary as a conversation between two fictitious characters, Daniel and Timothy. Within the work Daniel (representative perhaps of the Old Testament prophets) draws out the truths of Scripture for his disciple Timothy (representative of a young believer in the Gospel era). Viret emphasizes the practical applicability of the Law of God, painstakingly applying the truths of each commandment to the everyday lives of his readers and creating a sound, biblical exposition as applicable today as it was the day it was first penned.

Download or read book Feeling Like Saints written by Fiona Somerset and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lollard" is the name given to followers of John Wyclif, the English dissident theologian who was dismissed from Oxford University in 1381 for his arguments regarding the eucharist. A forceful and influential critic of the ecclesiastical status quo in the late fourteenth century, Wyclif's thought was condemned at the Council of Constance in 1415. While lollardy has attracted much attention in recent years, much of what we think we know about this English religious movement is based on records of heresy trials and anti-lollard chroniclers. In Feeling Like Saints, Fiona Somerset demonstrates that this approach has limitations. A better basis is the five hundred or so manuscript books from the period (1375–1530) containing materials translated, composed, or adapted by lollard writers themselves.These writings provide rich evidence for how lollard writers collaborated with one another and with their readers to produce a distinctive religious identity based around structures of feeling. Lollards wanted to feel like saints. From Wyclif they drew an extraordinarily rigorous ethic of mutual responsibility that disregarded both social status and personal risk. They recalled their commitment to this ethic by reading narratives of physical suffering and vindication, metaphorically martyring themselves by inviting scorn for their zeal, and enclosing themselves in the virtues rather than the religious cloister. Yet in many ways they were not that different from their contemporaries, especially those with similar impulses to exceptional holiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by prominent scholars surveys the ways in which the Decalogue, the Ten Commandments, has been understood and appropriated from biblical times until today. With chapters devoted to major thinkers such as Aquinas, Barth, Calvin, Luther, Maimonides, and Wesley, the writers explore ways the Decalogue has provided theological, ethical, moral, and devotional reflection throughout many facets of religious thought.

Contributors include Daniel I. Block, Craig A. Evans, George Hunsinger, Matthew Levering, D. Stephen Long, William E. May, David Novak, Alison G. Salvesen, Susan E. Schreiner, Carl R. Trueman, and Timothy J. Wengert.
