Book excerpt: Using the story of Lazarus receiving new life as its central metaphor, The Lazarus Church shows how to breathe new life into the church. Rich stories and examples from Jerry Mayo's background illustrate how the true Lazarus church can come alive. Mayo knows how important it is to simply focus on Jesus Christ. He speaks with an authoritative and convincing voice -- we should listen to him.--Maxie Dunnam, President, Asbury Theological SeminaryThis excellent book should be read by pastors and church leaders as they discern how to be the church in a new century. Jerry Mayo provides a faithful and intelligent prescription for those who love the mainline church and want it to be all God calls it to be in our day.--John M. Buchanan, Pastor, Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago; Former Moderator, Presbyterian General Assembly (PCUSA)It is notably difficult to successfully combine the spiritual dimension of church life with the practical operation of the institution. Jerry Mayo has done just that. This book will give hope to congregations of all denominations, and especially to those mainline churches that are declining. Mayo clearly understands the need to focus on Jesus' love as the starting point for new life and vitality in the church.--The Right Reverend Bertram Nelson Herlong, Episcopal Bishop of TennesseeThe Lazarus Church offers a compelling vision for the renewal of mainline Protestant congregations and affirms the value of the tradition that they've inherited. It calls these churches to fulfill a new mission today and shows them how to do it.--Timothy W. Whitaker, Resident Bishop, The Florida Conference, The United Methodist Church

Download or read book Lazarus of Bethany written by Scott Douglas and published by Ridiculously Simple Books. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★★★ Discover the true miracle of Lazarus being raised from the dead ★★★ Lazarus is an amazing story. A man rose from the dead! You just don’t get any more awesome than that, right! So that’s it then. That’s what we are supposed to learn from his resurrection, right? Not exactly. Jesus performed lots of miracles. John said it best when he said that there would not be room in the whole world to describe all that he did. It’s easy to look at the stories of miracles and see them for what they’re worth: miracles. But that’s a shame. If the miracle is in the Bible, there’s a reason for it. It’s not just there because it was miraculous. With Lazarus, a man rose from the dead—an amazing miracle, no doubt. But there’s more to it than that. There’s a lesson to be learned. Lazarus wasn’t just a man who raised from the dead—he had a life before and after his resurrection. And Jesus didn’t perform the miracle just to be flashy.

Download or read book Legends in Limestone written by Linda Seidel and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1999-10-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas twelfth-century pilgrims flocked to the church of St-Lazare in Autun to visit the relics of its patron saint, present-day pilgrims journey there to admire its superb sculpture, said to have been created by the artist Gislebertus whose name is inscribed above one of the church doors. These two cults, of sculptor and of saint, form points of departure and arrival for Linda Seidel's study. Legends in Limestone reveals how "Gislebertus, sculptor" was discovered and subsequently sanctified over the course of the last century. Seidel makes a compelling case for the identification of the name with an ancestor of the local ducal family, invoked for his role in the acquisition of the precious relics. With the aid of evidence drawn from the richly carved decoration of the building, she demonstrates how medieval visitors would have read a different holy narrative in the church fabric, one that constructed before their eyes an account of their patron saint's life. Legends in Limestone, an absorbing study of one of France's most revered medieval monuments, provides fresh insights into modern and medieval interpretive practices.

Download or read book The Gospel of John in the Sixteenth Century written by Craig S. Farmer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-04-10 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of Johannine exegesis in the sixteenth century covers nearly every important commentator on John from the first half of the century, and examines the medieval and patristic traditions on which they drew. But while comprehensive in its scope, this book centers on the John commentary of Wolfgang Musculus (1497- 1563), an influential leader of the Protestant Reformation in the cities of Augsburg and Bern. As a theologian and biblical scholar, he authored a large number of theological and exegetical works which remained popular well into the seventeenth century. Despite his influence, however, Musculus has been virtually ignored by modern scholarship on the Reformation.
