Download or read book The Letters to the Thessalonians written by GENE L GREEN and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this commentary Gene Green reads Paul's two letters to the Thessalonians in light of the canon of Scripture and of new knowledge about the first-century world of Thessalonica. This fruitful approach helps illuminate the impact of the gospel on its original readers and, in turn, shows how potent a force it can be for the church and society today. The book begins with an in-depth study of the Thessalonians themselves -- their history, land, socioeconomic conditions, and religious environment. This fascinating discussion gives the necessary context for fully appreciating the circumstances surrounding the founding of the city's first church and the subsequent struggles of the Thessalonian believers to live out their Christian faith. The main body of the book provides informed verse-by-verse commentary on 1 & 2 Thessalonians that extracts the fullest possible meaning from these important New Testament texts. As Green's exposition shows, the Thessalonian scriptures are especially valuable as letters of friendship and for showing Paul's pastoral concern for the many areas in which the Thessalonians needed guidance. Some of Paul's purposes are to thank the new believers for their steadfastness amid suffering, to encourage them in their trials, to urge them not to neglect their daily work, and, no less important, to teach them about the future of believers who die before Christ returns. Indeed, the matter of the last things and the second coming of Christ so permeates these texts that they are often called Paul's eschatological letters. Filled with new information about ancient society, this commentary will fast become a standard reference work for Bible study. By carefully bridging the biblical and modern worlds, Green shows with clarity and warmth the continuing relevance of 1 & 2 Thessalonians for contemporary readers.

Book excerpt: A thorough study of John's Gospel, blending pastoral and scholarly concerns. The introduction analyzes such matters as authorship, date, structure, and purpose. Attention is given to the legal language in John, and his methodology of writing for a verdict. The study continues with an exegetical and homiletical journey through each paragraph of the Fourth Gospel. Abundant endnotes reflect interaction with commentaries by Godet, Morris, Bruce, Carson, Keener, and Köstenberger. Beyond exegesis and answering basic hermeneutical questions, the course identifies timeless, cross-cultural principles in each subdivision--and then explains, illustrates, and applies each principle. Interactive questions guide students in learning for the head, heart, and hands. Case studies and illustrations challenge students to apply the principles of John in life situations today.

Download or read book The Legacy of William Carey written by Vishal Mangalwadi and published by Crossway. This book was released on 1999-05-12 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was an industrialist. An economist. A medical humanitarian. A media pioneer. An educator. A moral reformer. A botanist. And a Christian missionary. And he did more for the transformation of the Indian subcontinent in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries than any other individual before or since. Many know of William Carey. Some know about the specifics of his work and ministry. But few understand the profound contemporary significance of his life. Few realize how much we owe the increasing globalization of Christianity to the silent revolution he initiated. Fewer still are aware of his legacy of sensitivity to the variety of issues confronting true gospel witness in any culture. This biography about the central character in the story of India's modernization and transformation will help you understand Carey's impact. But The Legacy of William Carey is more than a biography. It is a charge to all Christians to respond in kind within our own cultures, and to use Carey's example as our model for taking the light of the Gospel into every corner of society. If we follow in his footsteps, not only will lives be bettered this side of heaven, but hearts will be changed for eternity--and entire cultures transformed for Christ.
