Download or read book The Parables of Paul written by Dr. J. Ellsworth Kalas and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 2,000 years, the church has looked to the apostle Paul and his letters in order to understand and follow the Christian life. Paul had his own compelling way of sharing Jesus’ message with others, through the use of the metaphor—a brief, imaginative word picture that shows the same truth as a longer story. From casting himself in the role of a slave, to presenting the Christian as a soldier or an actor, or even showing how we are vessels in the King’s house, Paul’s gallery of enriching, life-changing story pictures paints for us an indelible picture of the Christian faith.

Download or read book The Parables written by Paul Simpson Duke and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Another book on the parables? Why? Because Paul Duke hears possibilities for preaching the parables that the rest of us miss. Duke makes preliminary observations, sketches historical context, pursues literary structure, pauses over how details of the text would fall on the ears of ancient listeners, and offers reflections for preaching. This book would be an ideal basis for a sermon series."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Parables of Jesus written by Paul Winton Saunders and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-10-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parables of Jesus examines Jewish customs during biblical times to reveal lessons on life, living, and walking with the Lord. You’ll encounter the figures that Jesus used in his stories: the unjust judge who neither feared God or man, the self-righteous Pharisee and the humble publican in the temple, the fickle children in the marketplace, the unforgiving servant, and others exhibiting traits as compassion, jealousy, and greed. Pastor Paul Saunders makes the point that Jesus was appalled with the hypocritical nature of Jewish religious leadership. They made a great show of righteousness, but their behavior was corrupt—and Jesus was not afraid to call it out. The parables are brilliant, relevant, pithy, and personally challenging. Jesus uses everyday activities, with which we are all familiar, to illustrate a deeper truth. Although numerous scholars have written about the parables of Jesus, this book takes a fresh approach, looking at them in context and exploring the relevance they have today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've probably heard of the Parable of the Good Samaritan, but have you heard of the parables of The Persistent Widow, The Ungrateful Slave, The Shrewd Manager or The Ten Virgins? This book examines every one of Jesus' parables from the greatest to the smallest and clearly explains the meaning of these wonderful stories Jesus told. Jesus's parables are about subjects as diverse as camels and coins, wineskins and weeds, and pearls and pig fodder. They tell of judges and widows, fathers and sons, and kings and slaves. They speak of wedding feasts and grand dinners. They explain truths about God's great love for mankind and how people should treat each other with love and compassion. The parables also explain why Jesus of Nazareth was crucified and how all of us can enjoy eternal life in the kingdom of heaven. They show us the path to experiencing lives that are full of joy, peace, hope, and love. Above all, the parables reveal to us the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven and provide the answer to the perplexity of our existence. Invite the Lord into the beautiful mess of your life and grow in your love for Him as you examine the Pearls and Pig Fodder .

Book excerpt: In Blind Evolution?: The Nature of Humanity and the Origin of Life, Professor David Frost challenges the dominant worldview derived from Darwin’s evolutionary theories and perpetuated in Richard Dawkins’s atheistic propaganda for Neo-Darwinism: that our universe has ‘at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference’. Frost deploys recent findings from a range of scientific studies that shake Neo-Darwinism to its foundation. Citing entertaining examples, from the inner workings of a single cell to the animal kingdom at large, from elephants and giraffes to the Japanese pufferfish, Frost maintains that Darwinian premises are wholly inadequate to engage with life or to provide a framework for our experiences of joy and sorrow, the problem of suffering, and the stark realities of good and evil. Reflecting on the nature of existence, Frost points to a mode of human understanding parallel to scientific enquiry through the path of ‘vision’ accessed via the nous (or spiritual intellect). He argues that ‘vision’ is as much essential to our understanding of creation as is scientific enquiry – reality is best approached through a complementary partnership of both.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at Philip Roth's writing life as a "book of voices," Debra Shostak listens in on the conversations that this prominent American novelist has conducted with himself and his times over forty years and twenty-four books.
