Book Retrieving History  Evangelical Ressourcement

Download or read book Retrieving History Evangelical Ressourcement written by Stefana Dan Laing and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces the early Christian ideas of history and history writing and shows their value for developing Christian communities of the patristic era. It examines the ways early Christians related and transmitted their history: apologetics, martyrdom accounts, sacred biography, and the genre of church history proper. The book shows that exploring the lives and writings of both men and women of the ancient church helps readers understand how Christian identity is rooted in the faithful work of preceding generations. It also offers a corrective to the individualistic and ahistorical tendencies within contemporary Christianity.

Book Antioch on the Orontes

  • Author : Jørgen Christensen-Ernst
  • Publisher : Hamilton Books
  • Release : 2012-11-08
  • ISBN : 0761858644
  • Pages : 219 pages

Download or read book Antioch on the Orontes written by Jørgen Christensen-Ernst and published by Hamilton Books. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two thousand years ago, Antioch on the Orontes River was the third most important city in the Roman Empire. Today, it is a small Turkish town of 200,000 inhabitants whose visitors may find it difficult to imagine this place at its peak. This book is a biography of Antioch — or Antakiyye of the Arabs, or Antakya of the Turks. It is a description of its youth under the Seleucid Dynasty, its adolescence under the Romans, the Byzantines, and the Norman Crusaders, and its long decline under the Marmelukes and the Ottomans. Antioch on the Orontes will also guide the reader through modern-day Antioch, highlighting significant historical sites. The book contains an introduction to theological developments in Antioch that have influenced Christendom and covers the many religions represented in the city today.

Book Christian Women in the Patristic World

Download or read book Christian Women in the Patristic World written by Lynn H. Cohick and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From facing wild beasts in the arena to governing the Roman Empire, Christian women--as preachers and philosophers, martyrs and empresses, virgins and mothers--influenced the shape of the church in its formative centuries. This book provides in a single volume a nearly complete compendium of extant evidence about Christian women in the second through fifth centuries. It highlights the social and theological contributions they made to shaping early Christian beliefs and practices, integrating their influence into the history of the patristic church and showing how their achievements can be edifying for contemporary Christians.

Book Pastoral Leadership

    Book Details:
  • Author : Won Sang Lee
  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2015-01-14
  • ISBN : 1625643632
  • Pages : 293 pages

Download or read book Pastoral Leadership written by Won Sang Lee and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-01-14 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ascending to heaven, Jesus Christ gave the church the Great Commission to expand the gospel to all nations. Despite this biblical commission, it is still an unfinished task. As leaders of local churches, pastors play a crucial part in this endeavor. Pastoral leadership principles have varied widely throughout history, yet it is interesting to discover the similarities between pastoral leadership principles practiced by John Chrysostom (AD 347-407) in Antioch and Constantinople, and Won Sang Lee (1937-) in Washington, DC. Despite ministering 1600 years apart, both pastors share the same core values: care for people, Christ-like character, biblical preaching, and world missions. This suggests that continued emphasis on these principles will play a significant role in fulfilling the Great Commission, independent of time and place.

Book Perspectives on the Sabbath

    Book Details:
  • Author : Christopher John Donato
  • Publisher : B&H Publishing Group
  • Release : 2011-03-15
  • ISBN : 1433673371
  • Pages : 434 pages

Download or read book Perspectives on the Sabbath written by Christopher John Donato and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perspectives on the Sabbath presents in point-counterpoint form the four most common views of the Sabbath commandment that have arisen throughout church history, representing the major positions held among Christians today. Skip MacCarty (Andrews University) defends the Seventh-day view which argues the fourth commandment is a moral law of God requiring us to keep the seventh day (Saturday) holy. It must therefore remain the day of rest and worship for Christians. Jospeh A Pipa (Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary) backs the Christian Sabbath view which reasons that ever since the resurrection of Christ, the one day in seven to be kept holy is the first day of the week. Craig L. Blomberg (Denver Seminary) supports the Fulfillment view which says that since Christ has brought the true Sabbath rest into the present, the Sabbath commands of the Old Testament are no longer binding on believers. Charles P. Arand (Concordia Seminary) upholds the Lutheran view that the Sabbath commandment was given to Jews alone and does not concern Christians. Rest and worship are still required but not tied to a particular day.

Book Sacred Founders

    Book Details:
  • Author : Diliana N. Angelova
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2015-09-02
  • ISBN : 052095968X
  • Pages : 464 pages

Download or read book Sacred Founders written by Diliana N. Angelova and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diliana Angelova argues that from the time of Augustus through early Byzantium, a discourse of “sacred founders”—articulated in artwork, literature, imperial honors, and the built environment—helped legitimize the authority of the emperor and his family. The discourse coalesced around the central idea, bound to a myth of origins, that imperial men and women were sacred founders of the land, mirror images of the empire’s divine founders. When Constantine and his formidable mother Helena established a new capital for the Roman Empire, they initiated the Christian transformation of this discourse by brilliantly reformulating the founding myth. Over time, this transformation empowered imperial women, strengthened the cult of the Virgin Mary, fueled contests between church and state, and provoked an arresting synthesis of imperial and Christian art. Sacred Founders presents a bold interpretive framework that unearths deep continuities between the ancient and medieval worlds, recovers a forgotten transformation in female imperial power, and offers a striking reinterpretation of early Christian art.

Book Banishment in the Later Roman Empire  284 476 CE

Download or read book Banishment in the Later Roman Empire 284 476 CE written by Daniel Washburn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a reconstruction and interpretation of banishment in the final era of a unified Roman Empire, 284-476 CE. Author Daniel Washburn argues that exile was both a penalty and a symbol. It applied to those who committed a misstep or crossed the wrong person; it also stood as a marker of affliction or failure. Like other punishments, it articulated and cemented the power asymmetry between the punisher and the punished. Distinctively, it maneuvered the body of the banished in order to tell that tale. The process of banishment also operated as a form of negotiation between the party that exiled and the one banished. In so doing, the punishment offered the possibility for pardon, an event that glorified the pardoner and signaled submissiveness on the part of the restored. In its sources, this work employs evidence from legal as well as literary materials to forge a complete picture of exile. To harvest all possible information from the period, it considers elements from the arenas of the early church and the Roman Empire. Methodologically, it situates ancient Christianity within the Roman world, while remaining sensitive to the distinct views and roles held by late antique bishops. While banishment played a major role in the history of the Later Empire, no work of scholarship has treated it as a topic in its own right.
