Download or read book Does God Care for Oxen written by Ruben Alvarado and published by WordBridge Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-21 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of stewardship is one of the most oft-proclaimed in the church today. On its basis we understand it to be our Christian duty that we exercise stewardship over the planet, God's creation. Yet this doctrine is also among the least-examined. Critically important assumptions are made without any serious attempt to discover whether they are supported by Scripture, and whether they can support the massive superstructure erected upon them. For very serious claims are made on the basis of these assumptions, whereby the church is called to subscribe to a massively intrusive program to rectify offenses to nature, it being the suffering victim of a rapacious human race. Does the Bible call Christians, indeed humanity, to take up the role of planetary stewardship in order to preserve nature from mankind's hurtful intervention? That is the question up for examination in this book.

Download or read book 1st Corinthians Correcting the Church written by Practical Christianity Foundation and published by Practical Christianity Foundation. This book was released on 2020-08-08 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Correcting the Church In his first epistle to the Corinthian Church the apostle Paul confronted the immorality, doctrinal confusion and frequent disputes that had become commonplace among the Corinthian believers. Paul's message to this church was simple yet powerful: Consider the values of Christ's redemption and realign your thinking with God's instructions. Although this letter was written to correct, admonish, instruct, and encourage the early church, they are just as relevant to us today. This verse-by-verse devotional study, complete with engaging commentary and practical life applications, will challenge you to pursue a closer walk with Jesus Christ and grow in the faith.
Download or read book 1 Corinthians written by Paul D. Gardner and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series is designed for those who know biblical languages. It is written primarily for the pastor and Bible teacher, not for the scholar. That is, the aim is not to review and offer a critique of every possible interpretation that has ever been given to a passage, but to exegete each passage of Scripture succinctly in its grammatical and historical context. Each passage is interpreted in the light of its biblical setting, with a view to grammatical detail, literary context, flow of biblical argument, and historical setting. While the focus will not be on application, it is expected that the authors will offer suggestions as to the direction in which application can flow.

Download or read book 1 2 Corinthians written by Thomas C. Oden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture is a unique twenty-eight-volume series encompassing all of Scripture and offering contemporary readers the opportunity to study for themselves the key writings of the early church fathers. Arranged by the books of the Bible, each portion of commentary allows the living voices of the church in its formative centuries to speak as they engage the sacred page of Scripture, rendered throughout the series in English in the ecumenically accepted Revised Standard Version of the Bible. The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture does what very few of today's students of the Bible could do for themselves. With the aid of computer technology, the vast array of writings from the church fathers - including much that is available only in the ancient languages - have been combed for their comment on Scripture. From these results, scholars with a deep knowledge of the fathers and a heart for the church have hand-selected material for each volume, shaping, annotating and introducing it to today's readers. Each portion of commentary has been chosen for its salient insight, its rhetorical power and its faithful representation of the consensual exegesis of the early church. The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture is an ecumenical project, promoting a vital link of communication between today's varied Christian traditions and their common ancient ancestors in the faith. On this shared ground we listen as leading pastoral theologians of the church's first several centuries gather around the text of Scripture and offer their best theological, spiritual and pastoral insights. Today the historical-critical method of interpretation has nearly exhausted its claim on the biblical text and on the church. In its wake there is a wide-spread yearning among Christian individuals and communities for the wholesome, the deep and the enduring. The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture seeks not to replace those excellent commentaries that have been produced in the twentieth century. It supplements them, framing them with interpretive voices that have long sustained the church and only recently have fallen silent. It invites us to listen with appreciative ears and sympathetic minds as our ancient ancestors in the faith describe and interpret the scriptural vistas as they see them. The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture is a postcritical revival of the early commentary tradition known as the glossa ordinaria, a text artfully elaborated with ancient and authoritative reflections and insights. An uncommon companion for theological interpretation, spiritual reading, and wholesome teaching and preaching.

Download or read book The Way of Wisdom written by Wayne T. Christensen and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PROVERBS: A HANDBOOK FOR REARING WISE SONS (AND DAUGHTERS) The apostle Paul tells us that "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work" (2 Tim. 3:16-17). At the same time, the book of Proverbs is specifically designed for the discipleship of our sons and daughters. You may not find "education" listed in your concordance, but if you broaden your search to include "son" or "sons" references in Proverbs occur in great abundance. And for good reason, as its main purpose is for teaching children: "To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing" (Pro. 1:2-3). Therefore, I believe parents should be rigorously intentional about teaching Proverbs to their children. Rearing wise children in an age of foolishness requires concerted effort and thoughtfulness... My hope and prayer is that this book will aid parents as they fulfill their mandate to disciple their children and bring them up in The Way of Wisdom -from the Preface WAYNE T. CHRISTENSEN is Pastor of Fox Lake Community Church in Fox Lake, Illinois. A graduate of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois, he earned a Master of Divinity at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois and currently is pursuing a doctoral degree at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi. Wayne and his wife, Michele, have five children.

Download or read book Paul and Scripture written by Christopher D. Stanley and published by Society of Biblical Lit. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which grew out of the Society of Biblical Literature’s Paul and Scripture Seminar, explores some of the methodological problems that have arisen during the last few decades of scholarly research on the apostle Paul’s engagement with his ancestral Scriptures. Essays explore the historical backgrounds of Paul’s interpretive practices, the question of Paul’s “faithfulness” to the context of his biblical references, the presence of Scripture in letters other than the Hauptbriefe, and the role of Scripture in Paul’s theology. All of the essays look at old questions through new lenses in an effort to break through scholarly impasses and advance the debate in new directions. The contributors are Matthew W. Bates, Linda L. Belleville, Roy E. Ciampa, Bruce N. Fisk, Stephen E. Fowl, Leonard Greenspoon, E. Elizabeth Johnson, Mitchell M. Kim, Steve Moyise, Jeremy Punt, Christopher D. Stanley, and Jerry L. Sumney.
