Download or read book In Paul s Shadow written by D. Edmond Hiebert and published by BJU Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the exception of the Lord Jesus Christ himself, no one figures more prominently in the pages of the New Testament than the Apostle Paul. Author of thirteen of the books of the New Testament and central figure in the book of Acts, Paul was the individual most responsible for the spread of the gospel in the first century. Yet the great apostle was not alone in his labors. Beside him were numerous colaborers. Set against him were many foes -- most of whom owe their limited fame almost entirely to their relationship to the man they opposed. This volume sheds new light on those in Paul's shadow, both friend and foe. Dr. Hiebert carefully surveys all the scriptural data concerning "prominent personalities" (such as Apollos, Barnabas, and Luke) and the "lesser lights" (such as Demas, Epaphras, and Philemon) -- twenty-five sketches in all. The author seeks to demonstrate how each of these figures contributed to the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul. In addition, Dr. Hiebert includes two chapters briefly surveying "all the others, named and unnamed." The reverent scholarship and devotional warmth make this a valuable reference work. - Back cover.

Download or read book PERSONALITY Puissance written by Bob Stafford and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2024-05-04 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nick Doherty has a secret ability—so secret, in fact, he doesn’t even know it exists. Outwardly, he has it all: a prestigious career, a bevy of eager women, and he is intriguingly well-liked. What no one can imagine is his possession of two overactive amygdalae that radiate any spates of fear or anger he might have into those nearby with an amplified effect—a reverse empath, if you will. Nick’s unusual power makes him an emotional powder keg to those near him. All his aberrant behavior is demystified in a letter bequeathed by his father, who confesses information withheld until his death about their family curse. Newly aware of his undetectable superpower, Nick exploits it to bring down his diabolic rival and systematically advance his career, until a life-altering event flips the script, and he reboots on a quest to oxygenate the lives of others on a grand scale. A humorous primer on dealing with misfortunes through dogged determination, PERSONALITY + Puissance is a thought-provoking read about relationships and self-evolution.

Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.
Download or read book Teaching as Paul Taught written by RoyCheck B. Zuck and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-11-20 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though books on Paul's life and writing abound, very few works have examined the apostle's teaching techniques. In this companion to 'Teaching as Jesus Taught,' Roy Zuck probes Paul's pedagogy to discover principles for effective teaching today. According to Zuck, the apostle Paul stands as a master teacher. "Analyzing and following Paul's educational goals and strategies," Zuck writes, "can help us become better teachers of God's Word. Examining his pedagogy can acquaint us with a number of important principles and procedures in teaching." 'Teaching as Paul Taught' explores the many New Testament references to Paul's teaching as well as the historical and cultural context in which the apostle taught. Zuck carefully organizes this extensive material around fifteen key questions regarding the teaching ministry of Paul. Over twenty tables and questions for reflection at the end of each chapter aid readers in following Paul's example. The result is a comprehensive and practical handbook for everyone involved in a teaching ministry.
Download or read book Paul Among the People written by Sarah Ruden and published by Image. This book was released on 2010-02-16 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a common—and fundamental—misconception that Paul told people how to live. Apart from forbidding certain abusive practices, he never gives any precise instructions for living. It would have violated his two main social principles: human freedom and dignity, and the need for people to love one another. Paul was a Hellenistic Jew, originally named Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, who made a living from tent making or leatherworking. He called himself the “Apostle to the Gentiles” and was the most important of the early Christian evangelists. Paul is not easy to understand. The Greeks and Romans themselves probably misunderstood him or skimmed the surface of his arguments when he used terms such as “law” (referring to the complex system of Jewish religious law in which he himself was trained). But they did share a language—Greek—and a cosmopolitan urban culture, that of the Roman Empire. Paul considered evangelizing the Greeks and Romans to be his special mission. “For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” The idea of love as the only rule was current among Jewish thinkers of his time, but the idea of freedom being available to anyone was revolutionary. Paul, regarded by Christians as the greatest interpreter of Jesus’ mission, was the first person to explain how Christ’s life and death fit into the larger scheme of salvation, from the creation of Adam to the end of time. Preaching spiritual equality and God’s infinite love, he crusaded for the Jewish Messiah to be accepted as the friend and deliverer of all humankind. In Paul Among the People, Sarah Ruden explores the meanings of his words and shows how they might have affected readers in his own time and culture. She describes as well how his writings represented the new church as an alternative to old ways of thinking, feeling, and living. Ruden translates passages from ancient Greek and Roman literature, from Aristophanes to Seneca, setting them beside famous and controversial passages of Paul and their key modern interpretations. She writes about Augustine; about George Bernard Shaw’s misguided notion of Paul as “the eternal enemy of Women”; and about the misuse of Paul in the English Puritan Richard Baxter’s strictures against “flesh-pleasing.” Ruden makes clear that Paul’s ethics, in contrast to later distortions, were humane, open, and responsible. Paul Among the People is a remarkable work of scholarship, synthesis, and understanding; a revelation of the founder of Christianity.
Download or read book Paul s Last Letter written by Mark Sweetnam and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Epistle to Timothy is, by any standard, a remarkable document. Even as the apostle urges his friend and coworker hasten to Rome for a final meeting, the intimacy and urgency of Paul’s words make clear his awareness that Timothy might not arrive in time to say goodbye. This makes the epistle deeply personal. But Paul has a much larger purpose in view than just Timothy’s consolation. The epistle vibrates with Paul’s concern for Timothy’s endurance in the apostle’s mission after Paul’s death. Paul is at pains to emphasize for Timothy the seriousness of his responsibility, the difficulty of the context in which that duty will be discharged, and the divine assistance that will allow him to preserve and transmit the apostolic deposit to ‘faithful men’. Even as he addresses Timothy, Paul is deliberately speaking beyond him to everyone who remains faithful to the apostolic gospel in the ‘last days’ following the apostle’s departure. This commentary provides a detailed but nontechnical treatment of 2 Timothy, which interacts with contemporary scholarship on the epistle, while providing a literary, rhetorical, and parenetic analysis of Paul’s last letter.

Book excerpt: How does a hero become a tyrant? At the end of DUNE, Paul “Muad’Dib” Atreides gathered his Fremen warriors and embarked on a great prophecy-driven jihad that will sweep across the Imperium. PAUL OF DUNE is the epic story of that jihad: the planet-spanning battles, the breathtaking discoveries, the bloody treacheries. As the Fremen legions march from victory to victory, far from their beloved desert homeworld of Dune, Paul’s rule becomes harsher. Betrayals harden his spirit, old allies become enemies, and the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood and the remnants of Shaddam’s Imperium work to bring about his downfall. And Paul himself begins to have doubts: Is the jihad getting out of his control? Has he created anarchy? Has he been betrayed by those he loves and trusts the most? He must rely on his beloved Chani, his loyal friend Gurney Halleck, and his mother Jessica and sister Alia to survive. A must-read before the events of DUNE MESSIAH. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
