Download or read book Entering the Fray written by T. Michael W. Halcomb and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern times the relationship between the church and academy has been strained and tension-filled. Mainstream church culture has often been skeptical of Bible scholars, depicting them as self-serving intellectuals trying to out-think God by devising new and controversial interpretations. Just as well, academics have often leveled harsh critiques against church culture, painting pastors and laity as anti-intellectual pseudo-spiritualists. Entering the Fray argues that, in spite of the wide gap between the academic and ecclesiastical worlds, the modern church should be aware of the key discussions taking place among biblical scholars. To be sure, the average churchgoer has not been tuned in to scholarly conversations concerning matters such as the Messianic Secret, Q, the Historical Jesus, the pistis Christou debate, and related topics. In fact, they may have purposefully tuned out! Some, however, are simply unaware that any such dialogue has taken place, and beyond the internet, may not have the first clue as to how to explore the details. This primer seeks to function as that "first clue" by helping congregants, pastors, and students of the Bible enter into the fray of scholarly discussions that, over the last few hundred years, have shaped both the academy and church.

Download or read book The Conversation written by Judy Salisbury and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-24 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conversation: An Intimate Journal of the Emmaus Encounter is a unique and riveting reconstruction from the unnamed disciple's account found in Luke 24 regarding his journey with Cleopas on the road to Emmaus after witnessing Jesus's crucifixion and burial, along with hearing claims of His empty tomb. Suddenly, a Stranger begins walking with them. With their eyes "prevented" from recognizing Him as the risen Lord Jesus Christ--Yeshua the Messiah, their new, wise Traveling Companion correlates the Old Covenant Scriptures, by way of Moses and the prophets, with what they witnessed. This "journal" is your opportunity to eavesdrop and learn what that conversation might have been like, as pertinent prophecies unfold revealing evidence that the Messiah's suffering, death, burial, and resurrection were, in fact, specifically foretold. "The Conversation brings to life that famous encounter between the two disciples and our Lord Jesus on the road to Emmaus. While it is based in part on an imaginative reconstruction, it is filled with the throbbing pulse of the excitement of the sensational impact that our Lord's resurrection should have on all of our lives." DR. WALTER C. KAISER, JR., President Emeritus Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary "This little book does a big thing. It takes the age-old truths of the prophetic accuracy of the Bible and communicates it in an appealing literary format. In so doing, it portrays one of the great apologetic tools of the Christian faith in an engaging and readable form." DR. NORMAN GEISLER, Distinguished Professor of Apologetics Veritas Evangelical Seminary "I found The Conversation remarkable and riveting. (Judy Salisbury) did a fantastic job with the Scriptures, networking them all together with profound significance--the mark of a seasoned apologist. The book, as a whole, is fascinating, captivating, eye-opening, and doctrinally sound." JENNIFER SANDS, 9/11 Widow International Christian Speaker Author "An interesting story, though fictional, yet The Conversation rings with possibility. I pray that it will have a wide reading and that many will come to believe that Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel." DR. DAVID HOCKING, Founder, Hope for Today
Download or read book The Weekend that Changed the World written by Peter Walker and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book answers key questions that surround Jesus' death and argues that the events of that fateful weekend in Jerusalem changed the world forever. Layer upon layer of detail draws the reader into the frightening hours leading up to Jesus' death. The volume traces the movements of all involved in his tragic execution and follows the story to the empty tomb, examining the improbability that anyone could be raised from death. Walker discusses at length the location of Jesus' burial, drawing on the evidence of the Gospels, archaeology, and church history, and focuses on the two likely sites: the Garden Tomb and the church of the Holy Sepulchre. Walker also explores the impact of Jesus' resurrection on Christians then and now, noting how the message of the Garden Tomb has been a source of inspiration to millions of people from all over the World: "He Is Not Here, For He Is Risen."

Download or read book Power from an Empty Tomb written by Dr. Claudette B. Bryant and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power from an Empty Tomb helps the reader to think about why Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection really matters for life today. Step-by step, each chapter in this book, hopefully, will encourage the faithful Believer to:Accept Jesus as the Savior of the world, Celebrate His death, because He took our penalty for sin, and Three days later He arose triumphant from His grave, defeating both sin and death. How do I know He lives? Scriptures teach us that Jesus Christ's life will be in us only as we genuinely seek to make His way our way of life- to walk as He walked, to live as He lived. There is no man in history whose life changed the world than Jesus. He is the ultimate reality of God's plan for humanity to have eternal life with Him. The gift of God's eternal Son demonstrates His love for man to receive life, hope, and truth. THAT IS POWER FROM AN EMPTY TOMB!

Book excerpt: At the present moment it is the fashion to attempt to drive a wedge between the teaching of St. Paul on the subject of our Lord's Resurrection and that of the Evangelists. It is to this attempt that attention is largely directed in the paper which follows. It is historically certain that the Christian Church sprang from and was founded on a belief in the literal Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This belief was not a gradual growth in any sense. It dates from the very morrow of the alleged occurrence. It "sprang suddenly into existence, and it swept irresistibly over the whole body of disciples. Of the force and universality of the belief there can be no doubt."It was the necessary qualification for an Apostle that he should be a "witness of the Resurrection;" every sermon or address of St. Peter and St. Paul culminates in the doctrine of the Resurrection. It is altogether impossible to imagine that the Christian Church could have risen into being and could have spread throughout the world if the Faith in the Resurrection of our Lord had been eliminated.

Book excerpt: Some of the Praise for No Sense of Obligation . . . fascinating analysis of religious belief -- Steve Allen, author, composer, entertainer [A] tour de force of science and religion, reason and faith, denoting in clear and unmistakable language and rhetoric what science really reveals about the cosmos, the world, and ourselves. Michael Shermer, Publisher, Skeptic Magazine; Author, How We Believe: The Search for God in an Age of Science About the Book Rejecting belief without evidence, a scientist searches the scientific, theological, and philosophical literature for a sign from God--and finds him to be an allegory. This remarkable book, written in the laypersons language, leaves no room for unproven ideas and instead seeks hard evidence for the existence of God. The author, a sympathetic critic and observer of religion, finds instead a physical universe that exists reasonlessly. He attributes good and evil to biology, not to God. In place of theism, the author gives us the knowledge that the universe is intelligible and that we are grownups, responsible for ourselves. He finds salvation in the here and now, and no ultimate purpose in life, except as we define it.
