Book excerpt: First published in 1990, Jesus in the Tide of Time considers the historical Jesus and studies the ways in which he has subsequently been regarded by different people in different cultures. The book examines the political, social, economic and religious background to Jesus’ life. It also looks at what is known about Jesus as a historical personality, and considers the use of symbolic figures by the early Christians to represent him. It highlights the attitude towards the person of Jesus as an indicator of the culture of the particular period and place throughout history, and questions whether different cultures, periods and individuals manufacture Jesus in their own image. Jesus in the Tide of Time will appeal to those with an interest in the history of Christianity, religious history, and social history.

Download or read book A Righte Merrie Christmasse The Story of Christ Tide written by John Ashton and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 1968 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The day on which Jesus Christ died is plainly distinguishable, but the day of His birth is open to very much question, and, literally, is only conjectural; so that the 25th December must be taken purely as the day on which His birth is celebrated, and not as His absolute natal day. In this matter we can only follow the traditions of the Church, and tradition alone has little value. In the second and early third centuries of our æra, we only know that the festivals, other than Sundays and days set apart for the remembrance of particular martyrs, were the Passover, Pentecost, and the Epiphany, the baptism or manifestation of our Lord, when came "a voice from Heaven saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." This seems always to have been fixed for the 6th of January, and with it was incorporated the commemoration of His birth. Titus Flavius Clemens, generally known as Clemens of Alexandria, lived exactly at this time, and was a contemporary of Origen. He speaks plainly on the subject, and shows the uncertainty, even at that early epoch of Christianity, of fixing the date: "There are those who, with an over-busy curiosity, attempt to fix not only the year, but the date of our Saviour's birth, who, they say, was born in the twenty-eighth year of Augustus, on the 25th of the month Pachon," i.e. the 20th of May. And in another place he says: "Some say that He was born on the 24th or 25th of the month Pharmuthi," which would be the 19th or 20th of April.
Download or read book The Second Coming of Jesus Christ written by David L. Toney and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the turn of the century has seen a number of secular sources proclaiming the end of the worldsuch as Y2K or the end of the Mayan calendaronly to see these events come and go, there persists yet another source that still accurately foretells the events and phenomena we see play out on the worlds scene. Instead of focusing on fleeting signs and events, the Bible shows us how a growing tide of global conflict, human suffering, and natural disasters points toward a powerful truth: we are living in the end times. In The Second Coming of Jesus Christ: An Analysis of End Time Bible Prophecy, author David L. Toney explores how contemporary events not only parallel but also signify the fulfilment of Bible prophecies throughout both the Old and New Testaments. From the return of the Jews to Israel as foretold in Ezekiel, to the rise of the Antichrist as anticipated in Revelation, discover prophecies and the modern-day events related to the end of the six-thousand-year reign of humanity, the stirrings of World War III, and the appearance of catastrophic natural phenomena. That we are living in the end times is good news for good people and bad news for bad people, and the most important event prophesied to take place in these latter yearsthe second coming of Jesus Christwill soon take place.

Download or read book The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob written by Watchman Nee and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on 1993-05-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian life is based upon the irrevocable promises of God, the enjoyment of all that God has prepared for us in Christ, and the transformation that results from the loving discipline of the Spirit. In The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Watchman Nee draws upon the experiences of the Old Testament patriarchs and presents their lives as an allegory of the complete Christian experience. From our response to God's promises by faith to our ultimate transformation into sons who are conformed to the image of Christ, we must pass through the same life experiences of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Like Abraham, we have been given the promise of God for the inheritance; like Isaac, we can enjoy all that God has planned for us in Christ His Son; and like Jacob, we must experience the discipline of the Holy Spirit for the sake of our growth and transformation.
