Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twice-daily Tamid (standing) sacrifice was the focus of religious life from the time God established a covenant with the Israelites at Mount Sinai until the Jerusalem Temple's destruction in AD 70. No other sacrifice was to take precedence over the Tamid, and it was to continue as the centerpiece of worship for as long as the Sinai Covenant endured. However, the Tamid served as more than the means of atonement and covenant sanctification for Israel. It was also a sign of hope for the future sanctification for all peoples of the earth. Jesus of Nazareth is the fulfillment of that hope. The Passion of the Christ reveals the mystery of the single sacrifice of the two Tamid lambs-He who is fully man and God. Jesus became the true Tamid Lamb that all past Tamid lambs prefigured. Just as the unblemished Tamid lamb was the continual sacrifice presented in the Jerusalem Temple, Jesus is the holy unblemished Lamb "standing" before the throne of God in the heavenly Temple (Revelation 5:6). His sacrifice is continually made present in Heaven and on earthly altars during the Eucharistic celebration of the Mass.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God has fine-tuned our bodies in order to optimize our overall health, and we can take advantage of that by eating in the same patterns as demonstrated in scripture. Mystery of the Cure shows how the intermittent fasting eating pattern has unknowingly followed the exact eating patterns that were described in the Bible more than three thousand years ago. The overall health benefits, and the resulting weight loss for those who choose to adopt these time-restricted eating patterns cannot be denied. Author Ronald J. Covington outlines how an innovative American Civil War doctor, way ahead of his time, made a discovery that a brilliant doctor at Johns Hopkins University would prove to be true 120 years later. Full of uplifting personal narratives and helpful advice, this guide uses scientific facts and biblical commentary to show how God created us to optimize our health by eating in the intermittent fasting patterns as demonstrated in the Bible.

Download or read book Searching Her Own Mystery written by Mark S. Kinzer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vatican II's Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions (Nostra Aetate) transformed the Catholic view of the Jewish people and the Jewish religious tradition. Asserting that the Church discovers her link to the "stock of Abraham" when "searching her own mystery," Nostra Aetate intimated that the mystery of Israel is inseparable from the mystery of the Church. As interlocking mysteries, each community requires the other in order to understand itself. In Searching Her Own Mystery, noted Messianic Jewish theologian Mark S. Kinzer argues that the Church has yet to explore adequately the implications of Nostra Aetate for Christian self-understanding. The new Catholic teaching concerning Israel should produce fresh perspectives on the entire range of Christian theology, including Christology, ecclesiology, and the theology of the sacraments. To this end, Kinzer proposes an Israel-ecclesiology rooted in Israel-Christology in which a restored ecclesia ex circumcisione--the "church from the circumcision"--assumes a crucial role as a sacramental sign of the Church's bond with the Jewish people and genealogical-Israel's irrevocable election. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

Download or read book Jesus the Bridegroom written by Brant James Pitre and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jesus the Bridegroom, Brant Pitre once again taps into the wells of Jewish Scripture and tradition, and unlocks the secrets of what is arguably the most well-known symbol of the Christian faith: the cross of Christ. In this thrilling exploration, Pitre shows how the suffering and death of Jesus was far more than a tragic Roman execution. Instead, the Passion of Christ was the fulfillment of ancient Jewish prophecies of a wedding, when the God of the universe would wed himself to humankind in an everlasting nuptial covenant. To be sure, most Christians are familiar with the apostle Paul's teaching that Christ is the 'Bridegroom' and the Church is the 'Bride'. But what does this really mean? And what would ever possess Paul to compare the death of Christ to the love of a husband for his wife? If you would have been at the Crucifixion, with Jesus hanging there dying, is that how you would have described it? How could a first-century Jew like Paul, who knew how brutal Roman crucifixions were, have ever compared the execution of Jesus to a wedding? And why does he refer to this as the "great mystery" (Ephesians 5:32)? As Pitre shows, the key to unlocking this mystery can be found by going back to Jewish Scripture and tradition and seeing the entire history of salvation, from Mount Sinai to Mount Calvary, as a divine love story between Creator and creature, between God and Israel, between Christ and his bride--a story that comes to its climax on the wood of a Roman cross. In the pages of Jesus the Bridegroom, dozens of familiar passages in the Bible--the Exodus, the Song of Songs, the Wedding at Cana, the Woman at the Well, the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and even the Second Coming at the End of Time--are suddenly transformed before our eyes. Indeed, when seen in the light of Jewish Scripture and tradition, the life of Christ is nothing less than the greatest love story ever told.

Download or read book Paul a New Covenant Jew written by Brant Pitre and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the landmark work of E. P. Sanders, the task of rightly accounting for Paul's relationship to Judaism has dominated the last forty years of Pauline scholarship. Pitre, Barber, and Kincaid argue that Paul is best viewed as a new covenant Jew, a designation that allows the apostle to be fully Jewish, yet in a manner centered on the person and work of Jesus the Messiah. This new covenant Judaism provides the key that unlocks the door to many of the difficult aspects of Pauline theology. Paul, a New Covenant Jew is a rigorous, yet accessible overview of Pauline theology intended for ecumenical audiences. In particular, it aims to be the most useful and up to date text on Paul for Catholic Seminarians. The book engages the best recent scholarship on Paul from both Protestant and Catholic interpreters and serves as a launching point for ongoing Protestant-Catholic dialogue.

Download or read book Jesus and the Old Testament Roots of the Priesthood written by John Bergsma and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there anything in the New Testament about the need for priests in the Church? Many Protestants would argue no. And if you point out that there is a priesthood in the Old Testament, they are likely to say it was a feature of the Old Covenant that was undone by Christ. How should a Catholic respond? In Jesus and the Old Testament Roots of the Priesthood, biblical scholar John Bergsma convinces readers that Jesus did, in fact, intend for a ministerial priesthood to be a key feature of the New Covenant. Bergsma shows how the priesthood is a major thread holding together the biblical story line—beginning with Adam’s loss of the gift of priesthood in the Fall and the long process of restoring his descendants to a priestly status over the centuries, culminating with Christ. With chapter summaries and discussion questions included, Jesus and the Old Testament Roots of the Priesthood can readily be adapted into a four-part study for personal or small group use.

Download or read book The House of the Lord written by Steven C. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I read this book with joy. In the mid-twentieth century, Catholic scholars of the stature of Yves Congar and Jean Deanielou regularly produced historically informed biblical theology of the highest caliber. Catholic biblical theology explored Scripture's divine provision of historical-typological streams, through which the unity of the story of salvation comes into view. But biblical theology rapidly faded away after the Council, and this greatly weakened the ability of Catholic priests and laity to tell Scripture's story. Thus, for the new evangelization, I can't think of anything more important than the retrieval of Catholic biblical theology that Professor Smith accomplishes in this exciting and extraordinary book. A must-read for all seminarians and students of Scripture!" - Matthew Levering, James N. and Mary D. Perry Jr. Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary "Biblical theology is experiencing a new wave that is finally putting the temple back where it belongs - at the front and center of our thinking. Now riding on the top of this wave comes Steven Smith and his newly released biblical theology that is at once scholarly and accessible. Protestant and Orthodox readers, no less than Catholics, will glean countless insights from its pages." - Nicholas Perrin, Franklin S. Dyrness Chair of Biblical Studies and dean of Wharton Graduate School "Author Steven Smith brings readers on a focused tour of the temple in both the Old and New Testaments, demonstrating throughout the centrality of this theme. His book will help readers come to a deeper understanding of God's Word and of the importance of sacrifice and priesthood in God's plan of salvation. Accessible and clear, The House of the Lord is recommended especially for those readers for whom the Old Testament can seem to be a closed book." - Stephen Ryan, OP, Dominican House of Studies

Download or read book Jewish Temple Theology and the Mystery of the Cross written by and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2024-02 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Day of Atonement, two goats were brought before the high priest at the temple. One was chosen as the goat for the Lord, a spotless sacrifice, and the other was set aside for Azazel, doomed to bear sins into the wilderness. Jewish Temple Theology and the Mystery of the Cross shows how a theological appreciation for the two movements of Yom Kippur makes it possible to identify the paradox at the heart of Christian soteriology: in his single atoning act, Jesus Christ fulfills the work of both goats, without confusion, without division. Appreciation for this paradox helps illuminate many of the doctrinal debates in the history of Christian soteriology and offers a compelling way forward. Jewish Temple Theology and the Mystery of the Cross begins with a survey of biblical geography: first, a rich theological pilgrimage to Mount Zion, the home of beauty, goodness, and truth, and then to the surrounding desert, the wilderness of sin and sorrow. To appreciate the Yom Kippur liturgy, and to understand the priestly word "atonement," one must be oriented by this cosmic stage. Drawing on the best modern historical-critical scholarship, this volume reveals the wonders hidden in Leviticus and shows how a sophisticated theological interpretation of this book leads to breakthroughs in our understanding of Christ's saving work. Seeing the mystery of the cross from the perspective of the ancient Jewish scriptures has surprising results. For example, Richard Barry shows how Hans Urs von Balthasar's controversial theology of Holy Saturday is a compelling development of Azazel-goat soteriology; it is not only biblically licit but is in some ways mandated by the logic of Yom Kippur. At the same time, David Bentley Hart is celebrated for the way he powerfully advances modern YHWH-goat soteriology, yet obedience to the logic of Yom Kippur also necessitates a nuanced biblical critique of his muscular universalism. How can Christ fulfill the seemingly contradictory movements of both goats in a single saving work? Grappling with that question, Jewish Temple Theology and the Mystery of the Cross seeks to draw nearer to the heart of the mystery of salvation.

Download or read book The Mystery of the Messiah written by Frederick Guttmann and published by Frederick Guttmann. This book was released on with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What means to be 'the Messiah'? «Messiah is, in the Abrahamic religions, the descendant King of David, promised by the prophets to the Hebrew people; that man filled with the Holy Spirit of God. Throughout history there were many people who were considered Messiahs, but it is generally understood that this particular title is assigned to the chosen messenger of God, who will bring peace to mankind by establishing the Kingdom of God.» (Wikipedia) The concept of an expected Savior is common in many cultures, and is understood as a response to the injustices and evils of the world that humanity itself as a society has not come to resolve. Such an idea has a huge force that it is even used to refer to devilish figures: the Antichrist of Christianity or Dajjal of Islam, would be a kind of deceiving Messiah, a false liberator who actually using witchcraft and Satanism would deceive humanity before the end of time. According to these perspectives, a semi-divine man would be the light of the world and his supernatural guidance, but there would be at least another figure in his likeness, but at an antagonistic level. In any case, humanity would be waiting for a superhuman being to save them from their misfortunes, free to the world of evil and injustice, and bring a new era, one of peace, harmony and happiness. «Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yaheveh ...» (Tehilim 118:26) I respect the believes of all creations of God, so I´ll try to start this research using any kind of source that I consider related to the subject in question. So, from thousands of years ago there seemed to be a great awareness throughout the globe of the need for prophets to spiritually guide peoples and belief in a future remarkable man that would emphasize on the humanity. The Persian prophet Zarathustra (Zoroaster) was defined as "redeemer and savior" sent from God, not considering himself the only nor the last, and is believed to have announced the coming of an exemplary man who would come in the name of God, after him, and Which would lead men to the path of truth; The ancient Buddhas announced the coming of a future one, the Maitreya, that many confuse with modern personalities; The Mayans, Aztecs, Incas and Jopi announced the return of the "wise man" who was once with them, who would guide the race of the Earth towards the path of righteousness and unity, brotherhood and peace; The Muslims say that Muhammad (Mohammed) announced the return of Yeshua ha.Notzri (Jesus Christ) for the days of the coming struggle between the Mahdi and the Dajjal (Antichrist); The Jews - in a general context – believe in the arrival of their delivering Messiah in the days of the return of the prophet Elijah, when Israel will be Redeemed. It is transcendental to know that long before the birth of Zoroaster, Krishna, Hermes Trismegistus, Siddartha Gautama, Lao Tze, Confucius, Meng-Tse, Yeshua ha.Notzri (Jesus of Nazareth), Mani, Mohammed or Nichinen Daisonin, had already been announced Coming from the "true man", a supernatural and exemplary being that would change the course and destiny of humanity. How could suppose to be known that "someone" would come? If one does not believe in the spiritual and supernatural realm, so then will not understand the root and reason of religion. One of the "spiritual" aspects is related to precognition, remote vision, premonitory dreams and other nuances of the dream world, extrasensory abilities, transcendence to the 4th Dimension - of physics and mathematics (the 'time') -, Mind, quantum mechanics, and many other areas where the prophetic component is analyzed and studied - or incorporated - to see things before they occur. Well, with mere triangulation and experiential knowledge of the cycles of fate one can foresee the future, there are important details, such as the predictions of determinant and punctual things. In that sense it is fundamental to add that the historical appearance of a child of God was not exclusive to the Hebrew people, and was, however, a theme known everywhere. Any culture that is studied will have, somewhere, a story where mentions that supernatural beings had children and/or daughters with mortal women, and almost always these offspring turned out to be great eminences of history (Check ‘Genesis 6:4-5’). To say, "God's son will come," was to assume that strictly speaking the one who believed in one god: «[the] son ​​of the creator god comes» (phrase in pre-Sanskrit, engraved on a pre-Columbian figure of 13,000 years of antiquity found in Ecuador). But if the gods had children with the human, how can we specify which of all these offspring would be the specific one that was so expected? Time after birth of Siddarta Gautama (the Buddha) was told that his mother had conceived him during a dream in which she was impregnated by a white elephant; On Alexander the Great and Plato it was said that his father had really been Phoebus Apollo; Xerxes, and many Caesars and Pharaohs were considered semi-divine beings, sons of some important or sovereign god. The book of Genesis (circa 1450 BCE) relates that before the Flood there was a divine race that descended to the Earth and fathered children with mortal maidens, and their children were the great heroes and half-gods of the That later would be narrated in the mythologies. This story of Moses is not unique to this book, and is referred to in other Hebrew texts and in countless cultures all over the planet, and there are even complete lists of these beings describing their names, years of government and successions, such as Cases of Egyptian or Sumerian records. For example, the idea of ​​a savior and enlightener of the world was both prior to Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth and contemporary to him, but decidedly after the absence of spiritually imposing figures, there remained only disciplines based on imprecise hope or simply deteriorated Faith and the work done was lost. While some were considered semi-deities, but did not have a humanitarian roll, others considered themselves mere emissaries, and with humility and care they tried to guide justice and altruism to their fellows. Only rarely, as with Christianity, did the conviction persist that its leader was permanent and would return, to the degree that this belief became a solid pillar of the theology of these peoples and groups of people. The Jews knew that Moses had died, the Mazdas knew that Zoroaster died, Muslims know that Muhammad died, but for other cultures, his inspiring figures such as Krishna, Osiris, Hermes, Buddha or Yeshua (Jesus), even though they had experienced a Physical death, had transcended this world, and some of them continued to appear clearly to their followers even centuries after they were considered dead. Is this true? In any case, living or in another dimension, what would their teachings serve if the majority of humanity conceived of biological death as the end? Many hope that a utopian era of peace, harmony and unity will be established among all peoples, and in communion and love we will achieve immortality, but there remains the greedy and bloody component that precludes balance and equity, having a few power and using it To keep the rest in conflicts and wars. For the most spiritual, that is not the biggest problem, but fervently consider that the soul (a personified and individualized component of the Universal Consciousness) is evaluated by its actions while incarnated, and when leaving the bio-chemical body is judged By his actions, and of being found guilty of evil would suffer in other worlds for several decades or even generations. For those who see destiny in this way, more than a leader to end the struggles between tribes and nations, it is more priority to go to the core of the problem: the soul. Thus, the idea of ​​savior for "religious" is oriented to conscience and righteousness, assuming that only a man of great virtue can teach us the path of truth, honesty and love, to live in peace with others and save Our soul and take it to planes of paradisiacal reality, established for the pure and giving.

Download or read book Rabbi Jesus written by Bruce Chilton and published by Image. This book was released on 2002-02-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the Gospels, interpretations of the life of Jesus have flourished for nearly two millennia, yet a clear and coherent picture of Jesus as a man has remained elusive. In Rabbi Jesus, the noted biblical scholar Bruce Chilton places Jesus within the context of his times to present a fresh, historically accurate, and revolutionary examination of the man who founded Christianity. Drawing on recent archaeological findings and new translations and interpretations of ancient texts, Chilton discusses in enlightening detail the philosophical and psychological foundations of Jesus’ ideas and beliefs. His in-depth investigation also provides evidence that contradicts long-held beliefs about Jesus and the movement he led. Chilton shows, for example, that the High Priest Caiaphas, as well as Pontius Pilate, played a central role in Jesus’ execution. It is, however, Chilton’s description of Jesus’ role as a rabbi, or "master," of Jewish oral traditions, as a teacher of the Cabala, and as a practitioner of a Galilean form of Judaism that emphasized direct communication with God that casts an entirely new light on the origins of Christianity. Seamlessly merging history and biography, this penetrating, highly readable book uncovers truths lost to the passage of time and reveals a new Jesus for the new millennium.
