Download or read book Tablets of the Heart written by Jane Westmoreland and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tablets of the Heart is a collection of true stories about faith and forgiveness, most of which are set in the author's hometown of Griffin, Georgia. Included are the author's account of her parents' robbery and kidnapping at gunpoint when she was a teenager and her own brush with death as an adult. Other topics deal with grief over the loss of a loved one, the desire to control, racial prejudice, the joys and challenges of church life, seeking God's will, holding the tongue, and more. Each narrative is followed by scriptures that express the lessons learned or confirmed through that particular experience. Forgiveness is recognized as an action, not a feeling, which sometimes requires the mind to do that which is biblical before the heart is able to catch up. Forgiveness is described as a prescription for healing that does not necessarily involve forgetting. Prayers and insights are offered to encourage the reader to move forward with life.
Download or read book The Book of the Heart written by Eric Jager and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2000-08 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's increasingly electronic world, we say our personality traits are "hard-wired" and we "replay" our memories. But we use a different metaphor when we speak of someone "reading" another's mind or a desire to "turn over a new leaf"—these phrases refer to the "book of the self," an idea that dates from the beginnings of Western culture. Eric Jager traces the history and psychology of the self-as-text concept from antiquity to the modern day. He focuses especially on the Middle Ages, when the metaphor of a "book of the heart" modeled on the manuscript codex attained its most vivid expressions in literature and art. For instance, medieval saints' legends tell of martyrs whose hearts recorded divine inscriptions; lyrics and romances feature lovers whose hearts are inscribed with their passion; paintings depict hearts as books; and medieval scribes even produced manuscript codices shaped like hearts. "The Book of the Heart provides a fresh perspective on the influence of the book as artifact on our language and culture. Reading this book broadens our appreciation of the relationship between things and ideas."—Henry Petroski, author of The Book on the Bookshelf
Download or read book Israel Covenant Law written by Kim Papaioannou and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pauline studies are in a conundrum. The Reformation perspectives championed by great men like Martin Luther and John Calvin have been challenged recently by the rise of the new perspective on Paul. The main point of contention seems to be the place of biblical law in salvation. While the Reformation perspectives, based in part on Paul’s apparent attacks on law, assert that salvation is a free gift unmerited by human works, the new perspective suggests the law is an integral part of the work of salvation. It holds that Paul’s attacks on the law were focused only on specific aspects of law, the so-called boundary markers. This book, while having points of contact with both outlooks, takes a different view on Paul and the law. Building on Paul’s self-identification as a Christian, and Christian views on the covenant, it endeavors to give biblical law its due place in the plan of salvation and the life of the believer.
Download or read book The Book of Ezekiel and its Influence written by Johannes Tromp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel (6th century B.C.E.) is a book of forceful language and impressive images. Its message is often clear, sometimes mysterious. The book had great impact in Jewish and early Christian literature as well as in western art. This book deals with the intentions of the book of Ezekiel, but also focuses on its use by subsequent writers, editors or artists. It traces Ezekiel's influence in Jesus' teaching about the Kingdom of God, in Paul, the Gospels, and Revelation, and also shows that Ezekiel's imagery, via Jewish mysticism, influenced the visionary art of William Blake. Presenting contributions from leading biblical scholars in Oxford and Leiden, based on their unique collaborative research, this book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars working in the field of biblical studies, including those studying the Hebrew Bible, its early versions, 'inter-testamental' Judaism, New Testament and Early Christianity, and the reception of Biblical literature in later centuries.
Download or read book Renovation of the Heart written by Dallas Willard and published by Tyndale House. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.
Download or read book The Curious History of the Heart written by Vincent M. Figueredo and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold Award Winner, 2024 Nonfiction Book Awards For much of recorded history, people considered the heart to be the most important organ in the body. In cultures around the world, the heart—not the brain—was believed to be the location of intelligence, memory, emotion, and the soul. Over time, views on the purpose of the heart have transformed as people sought to understand the life forces it contains. Modern medicine and science dismissed what was once the king of the organs as a mere blood pump subservient to the brain, yet the heart remains a potent symbol of love and health and an important part of our cultural iconography. This book traces the evolution of our understanding of the heart from the dawn of civilization to the present. Vincent M. Figueredo—an accomplished cardiologist and expert on the history of the human heart—explores the role and significance of the heart in art, culture, religion, philosophy, and science across time and place. He examines how the heart really works, its many meanings in our emotional and daily lives, and what cutting-edge science is teaching us about this remarkable organ. Figueredo considers the science of heart disease, recent advancements in heart therapies, and what the future may hold. He highlights the emerging field of neurocardiology, which has found evidence of a “heart-brain connection” in mental and physical health, suggesting that ancient views hold more truth than moderns suspect. Ranging widely and deeply throughout human history, this book sheds new light on why the heart remains so central to our sense of self.

Download or read book Tradition and Rhetoric in Paul s Correspondence with the Corinthians written by Harm W. Hollander and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays deals with a number of important words and passages in the apostle Paul’s letters to the Corinthians. It clarifies Paul’s ways of defending himself against the attacks of some Corinthian Christians and his attempts to persuade his readers to keep on living according to the law of God. The analyses centre on answering two questions. First, what does Paul take from the ideas that were in vogue in his time, the Graeco-Roman, Hellenistic period? Secondly, what particular twist does he give to these traditional concepts and motifs in order to persuade his readers in Corinth effectively? The analyses produce a number of new and surprising results, and will appeal to New Testament scholars and students, clergymen, and all those interested in the ideas of the apostle Paul and in Christian belief and behaviour.

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.
