This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Christ According to St. Mark The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ - therefore, as far as the knowledge and judgment of St Mark were concerned, nothing before the coming of John the Baptist was an essential part of the Good News. The Good News, as we gather from the contents of our book, was partly about Jesus, and partly proclaimed by Jesus; it is unfolded in the following chapters. Thus the subject and the preacher are one, Jesus Christ the Son of God. The reader would understand from the term Christ that Jesus was a Jewish leader and teacher, who was believed to be the Messiah or saviour-king whom the Jews expected. He would suppose that the man who was called Christ, the Son of God, was a teacher with extraordinary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind (1994) Mark Noll offered a forthrightly critical assessment of the state of evangelical thinking and scholarship. Now, nearly twenty years later, in a sequel more attuned to possibilities than to problems, Noll updates his earlier assessment and charts a positive way forward for evangelical scholarship. Noll's Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind shows how the orthodox Christology confessed in the ancient Christian creeds, far from hindering or discouraging serious scholarship, can supply the motives, guidance, and framework for learning. Christian faith, Noll argues, can richly enhance intellectual engagement in the various academic disciplines -- and he demonstrates how by applying his insights to the fields of history (his own area of expertise), science, and biblical studies in particular. In a substantial postscript Noll candidly addresses the question How fares the "evangelical mind" today? as he highlights "hopeful signs" of intellectual life in a host of evangelical institutions, individuals, and movements. -- From publisher description.

Download or read book What Did Jesus Look Like written by Joan E. Taylor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.

Download or read book The Gospel of St Mark written by Dennis Eric Nineham and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 1992 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Mark's Gospel is generally agreed to be the primary source for the life of Jesus - both Matthew and Luke drew on his account when they were writing their own. None of them, stresses the author of this book, was attempting to create a modern-style biography. But although Mark lays his own individual emphasis on the perennial struggle between the forces of good and evil, the suffering and secret Messiahship of Christ, he seems largely to be handing on, unmodified, the traditions of the early Christian Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fresh, vigorous new translation of the Gospel of Mark."—The American Conservative "Professor Pakaluk provides not only a thrilling new rendering of the ancient Greek text but also provides lively scholarship in the commentary that follows his translation of Mark's sixteen chapters."—The Catholic Thing "This is a very rewarding version of Mark, and even those who have made long study of the text will find a wise and sensitive guide in Michael Pakaluk."—National Catholic Register "Pakaluk's translation and commentary offers us a wonderful way to immerse ourselves anew..."—The B.C. Catholic "Like his translation, Pakaluk's notes do a lot to bring St. Mark and his gospel alive for us."—Aleteia The Gospel as You Have Never Heard It Before... At a distance of twenty centuries, the figure of Jesus of Nazareth can seem impossibly obscure—indeed, some skeptics even question whether he existed. And yet we have an eyewitness account of his life, death, and resurrection from one of his closest companions, the Simon Bar-Jona, better known as the Apostle Peter. Writers from the earliest days of the Church tell us that Peter’s disciple Mark wrote down the apostle’s account of the life of Jesus as he told it to the first Christians in Rome. The vivid, detailed, unadorned prose of the Gospel of Mark conveys the unmistakable immediacy of a first-hand account. For most readers, however, this immediacy is hidden behind a veil of Greek, the language of the New Testament writers. Four centuries of English translations have achieved nobility of cadence or, more recently, idiomatic accessibility, but the voice of Peter himself has never fully emerged. Until now. In this strikingly original translation, atten- tive to Peter’s concern to show what it was like to be there, Michael Pakaluk captures the tone and texture of the sherman’s evocative account, leading the reader to a bracing new encounter with Jesus. The accompanying verse-by-verse commentary—less theological than historical—will equip you to experience Mark’s Gospel as the narrative of an eyewitness, drawing you into its scenes, where you will come to know Jesus of Nazareth with new intimacy. A stunning work of scholarship readily accessible to the layman, The Memoirs of St. Peter belongs on the bookshelf of every serious Christian.

Download or read book St Mark s Life of Jesus Classic Reprint written by Theodore Henry Robinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Mark's Life of Jesus Jesus is the centre of the religious history of the human race. He is the supreme revelation of God to man. There have been other great teachers, who have told men of God, and helped them to draw near to Him. But Jesus is different from all the rest. Where the others have had a partial revelation (and sometimes a very partial one) to give, Jesus has given us all of God. It may be true that there is still much to learn, - that may be more than admitted; it may be claimed. The revelation of God did not cease with the first Christian generation. It has been continuous, and to-day we ought to know more of God than any age has done Since Jesus left the world. But there is now a difference. There can be no fuller revelation than Jesus there is a constantly developing revelation of Jesus. What more of God we may know than our fathers did, we may know of and in and through Jesus Himself. He is the ultimate message of God to humanity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel According to St. Mark I have long felt the need of a 'Plain Commentary, ' and every parish priest whom I have consulted tells me that his experience is the same. The spread of education has enormously increased the number of readers. Popular literature of all kinds has been produced to cater for those classes which are now entering upon their inheritance of learning. But commentaries on the Bible suitable for ordinary readers do not seem to exist. Such a commentary must be low in price, simple and popular in language, explanatory rather than devotional. The point of view should be that the Bible is the text-book and reference-book of the teaching Church, the infallible witness, but not the sole authority for her teaching. As regards the imagined conflict between science and religion, the commentary ought to assume that there is an underlying unity between the revelation given by God through His Church and His Word and the results of the study of Nature. I think there is a very widespread demand for a commentary on these lines. If this work should meet that demand, I hope to continue the 'Plain Commentary' on other books of the Bible. In some of the comments an indirect reference has been made to the principles of Biblical criticism. It might be helpful, therefore, if a few words were here said about the 'Higher Criticism.' There should be no objection at all to the criticism of the Bible. Criticism is a test of truth. Why fear it? Criticism will have done much good even if it only calls attention to the fact that the Bible record is not our sole authority for the truths on which the Christian religion rests. The living Church has handed down her creeds from the earliest times, and we accept Christian teaching (doctrine) at her mouth. These creeds deal with historical facts which we could accept even if we had the authority of the Church alone. To overthrow Christianity it is required (amongst other things) to be shown that the Church was founded on a lie; rapidly spread in spite of the lie, and even by virtue of the lie; and that she flourishes and still spreads on this basis of a lie! But the Church has an ally. She appeals to the Bible as offering a support to her creeds. It is, therefore, important that the Bible should be most thoroughly examined and tried. This examination, or criticism, has been of the most searching character. So much the better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
