Download or read book The Manifold Beauty of Genesis One written by Gregg Davidson and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: See and celebrate the multilayered grandeur conveyed by the first chapter of Genesis The first chapter of the Bible's first book lays the foundation for all that follows about who God is and what God is like. Our technology-age fascination with the science of origins, however, can blind us to issues of great importance that don't address our culturally conditioned questions. Instead, Genesis One itself suggests the questions and answers that are most significant to human faith and flourishing. Geologist Gregg Davidson and theologian Ken Turner shine a spotlight on Genesis One as theologically rich literature first and foremost, exploring the layers of meaning that showcase various aspects of God's character: Song Analogy Polemic Covenant Temple Calendar Land Our very knowledge of God suffers when we fail to appreciate the Bible's ability to convey multilayered truth simultaneously. The Manifold Beauty of Genesis One offers readers the chance to cultivate an openness to Scripture's richness and a deeper faith in the Creator.

Download or read book Christian Baptism written by Bruce A. McDowell and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this meticulously referenced text, Dr. McDowell examines how God has progressively revealed himself through his eternal covenant to his people, culminating in Christ and the sending of the Holy Spirit. He helps us understand how baptism is God’s sign and seal of his new covenant with us through Christ and how it relates to our salvation. Viewing the whole Bible in its historical, biblical, and theological context, Dr. McDowell explores baptism from every theological perspective. He takes us through the purpose and meaning of baptism as well as its mode, which clearly exemplifies our purification from sin, in-filling with the Holy Spirit, and union with Christ. “…a penetrating study of baptism that will benefit church leaders and lay people alike. ...Should be widely read and taught in the church.” Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr., Third Millennium Ministries, President “…a book you need to read but that will also bring you blessing as you do—no matter how much you already know. This one is solid theologically, challenging us to be biblical on every issue; it is global… it is startlingly pastoral.” Dr. D. Clair Davis, Emeritus Professor of Church History, Westminster Seminary “In this comprehensive book, he applies biblical wisdom—based on a lifetime of personal reflection—to the systematic theology and pastoral practice of Christian baptism….” Dr. Philip G. Ryken, President, Wheaton College, author and Bible expositor

Download or read book Hollywood Censored written by Gregory D. Black and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a series of sex scandals rocked the film industry in 1922, movie moguls hired Will Hays to clear the image of movies. Hays tried a variety of ways to regulate movies before adopting what became known as the production code. Written in 1930 by a St Louis priest, the code stipulated that movies stress proper behaviour, respect for government, and 'Christian values'. The Catholic Church reinforced these efforts by launching its Legion of Decency in 1934. Intended to force Hays and Hollywood to censor films, the Legion of Decency engineered the appointment of Joseph Breen as head of the Production Code Administration. For the next three decades, Breen, Hays, and the Catholic Legion of Decency virtually controlled the content of all Hollywood films.

Download or read book Message Digests for Photographic Images and Video Contents written by Frédéric Lefèbvre and published by Presses univ. de Louvain. This book was released on 2004 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New multimedia database search tools require rapidity, compression, image quality and copyright control. The two latter are often covered by embedding a hidden watermark signal in the multimedia content. More effective and recognized multimedia search methods are using hash functions. Hash functions compute very short signatures characteristically very different from one media to another. Typical requirement of hash functions are: easily computable, provide short output bit length, and collision resistant. In this thesis, an image hashing method for multimedia contents is presented as an innovative solution for content identification and indexing. This new one-way function for images extract some image features by different computations along radial projections. The magnitude of change is related to the amount of the change of the media (image, video). In watermarking, hashing enables the creation of payloads that depend on the media content, and which are thus resistant to the "copy attack" and collusion. This thesis is available in the SIMILAR collection under the label « Presses universitaires de Louvain » (ISBN 2-930344-58-X) and may be purchased online at www.i6doc.com.
