Download or read book Canon Revisited written by Michael J. Kruger and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the popular-level conversations on phenomena like the Gospel of Thomas and Bart Ehrman’s Misquoting Jesus, as well as the current gap in evangelical scholarship on the origins of the New Testament, Michael Kruger’s Canon Revisited meets a significant need for an up-to-date work on canon by addressing recent developments in the field. He presents an academically rigorous yet accessible study of the New Testament canon that looks deeper than the traditional surveys of councils and creeds, mining the text itself for direction in understanding what the original authors and audiences believed the canon to be. Canon Revisited provides an evangelical introduction to the New Testament canon that can be used in seminary and college classrooms, and read by pastors and educated lay leaders alike. In contrast to the prior volumes on canon, this volume distinguishes itself by placing a substantial focus on the theology of canon as the context within which the historical evidence is evaluated and assessed. Rather than simply discussing the history of canon—rehashing the Patristic data yet again—Kruger develops a strong theological framework for affirming and authenticating the canon as authoritative. In effect, this work successfully unites both the theology and the historical development of the canon, ultimately serving as a practical defense for the authority of the New Testament books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout my entire life as far back as I can remember, I felt a deep conviction in my heart for people to serve God righteously and in truth. However, my sinful life ruled, but despite how firm or deep the bondages were my craving to serve God and live as I read in the old Bible my father had could not be satisfied by nothing in this world. But despite my bondage, when my life was at the lowest point in my thirties the Lord came to me and told me: Jesus is the answer he knows all our needs, Jesus is the answer he cares. Give your life to Jesus and trust him today, For Jesus is the answer we need. Shortly after I was called to peach The Lord is Holy. Direction was later given in dreams to write. God has called and is calling man to an unconditional dedicated devoted relationship and fellowship with him. Nothing God does he does different from his word, nothing he commands man to do can be done differently, and be acceptable unto him, for works done differently from a command, is not done as instructed. Unconditional Devotion is the supreme power that kept every person that ever lived righteously in the earth, pleasing unto God. Those that claimed life in God, and was alive in God, had no other sanctification before God, but obedience to the word. Let us not forget that; the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth Ps. 33: 4

Download or read book When God Spoke Greek written by Timothy Michael Law and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most readers do not know about the Bible used almost universally by early Christians, or about how that Bible was birthed, how it grew to prominence, and how it differs from the one used as the basis for most modern translations. Although it was one of the most important events in the history of our civilization, the translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek in the third century BCE is an event almost unknown outside of academia. Timothy Michael Law offers the first book to make this topic accessible to a wider audience. Retrospectively, we can hardly imagine the history of Christian thought, and the history of Christianity itself, without the Old Testament. When the Emperor Constantine adopted the Christian faith, his fusion of the Church and the State ensured that the Christian worldview (which by this time had absorbed Jewish ideals that had come to them through the Greek translation) would leave an imprint on subsequent history. This book narrates in a fresh and exciting way the story of the Septuagint, the Greek Scriptures of the ancient Jewish Diaspora that became the first Christian Old Testament.

Download or read book Latter day Scripture written by Robert M. Price and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2011-03-18 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a series of papers presented mainly at the Book of Mormon Round Table. It lays out a case for considering the Mormon scripture as the work of Joseph Smith in the nineteenth century, not an ancient document written by various Israelites in ancient America. But, author Robert M. Price argues, this is merely another case of "pseudepigraphy," the genre of fictive "as if" authorship common to the Bible as well. Price urges readers to a new appreciation of the intricate redaction and rewriting of the Bible in the Book of Mormon, and to a positive theological estimate of this approach by Latter-day Saint Christians. Critical studies of several passages in the Book of Mormon are included.
