Book excerpt: God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

Download or read book Paraphrase on John written by Desiderius Erasmus and published by Collected Works of Erasmus. This book was released on 1991 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erasmus yearned to make the Bible an effective instrument in the reform of society, church, and the life of individuals in the turbulent world the sixteenth century. He therefore composed paraphrases in which the words of Holy Scripture provided the core of a text vastly expanded to embrace the reforming 'philosophy of Christ.' The Paraphrases were successful beyond expectation and were quickly translated from Latin into French, German, English, and other languages. This volume is the third Paraphrase to be published in the New Testament Scholarship series in the CWE. In it Erasmus explores questions that have always been central to Christian self-understanding. Why is the cross folly to the wise of this world? In the Paraphrase on John, Erasmus hints broadly that the cause of human blindness lies in the arrogance of intellectual pretensions, the love of vain-glory, the lust for possessions, the fear of losing the supports that secure a comfortable way of life. Perhaps nothing will please the reader more the portraits of the chief characters in John's Gospels. We enjoy the simplicity of the lowly woman at the well, we understand the complexity of the distinguished Nicodemus. Above all, we are captured by the portrait of Christ himself. Upon the stage Erasmus has here designed, Christ appears first in the humility of a lowly artisan from a despised country; only to the discerning does his glory flash forth from his mortality, a mortality vividly etched in the scene on the cross. But in the last pages of the Paraphrase on John, Erasmus sets before us in sharp dramatic contrast the resurrected Christ glorious with a radiant holiness. Like Augustine in the City of God, Erasmus attempts to define the relationship between the two worlds in which the Christian lives - the heavenly and the spiritual, and the earthly and physical. Volume 46 of the Collected Works of Erasmus series.

Download or read book The Gospel of John Cowboy Style written by Mel Hooten and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel of John Cowboy Style: A Paraphrase of the Gospel in Cowboy Language steps into the boots of countless books, compositions, paintings, and sculptures that have, over the centuries, turned to the gospels for inspiration and to particular cultures for means of expression. Author Mel Hooten, drawing upon personal history and long experience, retells the gospel of John in the lingo of the cowboy. From start to finish, including both the gospel writers narrative and every figures words, this retelling presents the gospel afresh through the straight-talking dialect of the Texas Panhandles traditional cowboys. With this approach, The Gospel of John Cowboy Style presents familiar passages in a new light. In John 3:16, for example, Jesus says, Ya see, God loves this world so much, that He gave His one and only Son to die, so that every man, woman, boy, and girl who believes in Him will not die, but will be a-livin forever. If you struggle with unfamiliar words in traditional translations of the Bible, The Gospel of John Cowboy Style offers an easy-to-understand retelling of the good news of Jesus Christ. Whether you love the heritage of the American West or enjoy the thrill of hearing the gospel in new ways, this paraphrase will rope you in with its powerful mixture of cowboy culture and gospel content.

Download or read book Nonnos of Panopolis written by Mark Anthony Prost and published by Writing Shop. This book was released on 2003 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ere Time, ere Space, ere Speech, dwelt the Archaic Word." From the sonorous opening line of this remarkable discovery, the Gospel of John sings out in words written over 1500 years ago. Never before available in English, the Paraphrase of the Gospel of John tells the Gospel story in brilliant epic poetry, translated for the first time into English verse. This ancient version of the Fourth Gospel was written during turbulent times in the early Church, when the very nature of Christ was being hotly debated. This manuscript sheds a new light on the very early Christian understanding of the divinity and humanity of Jesus. The last great epic poet of antiquity, Nonnos of Panopolis created an inspired story of Jesus, fleshing out the bare Gospel tale, and showing the humanity of Christ and his apostles. Each episode is brought to life in a way that is at once familiar, yet intriguing, as all the characters are developed, and speak with voices of their own. Favorite Gospel verses appear in a new light, as they are rendered into poetic verse, and shining through all is the image of the triumphant Christ, fully God and fully man, seen through the eyes of one of the earliest, and least known, Christian writers. Translated from the Greek by Mark A. Prost
