Download or read book It is the Spirit that Gives Life written by Gitte Buch-Hansen and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Origen and Chrysostom, John's Gospel has been valued as the most spiritual among the New Testament writings. Although Origen recognizes the Stoic character of John's statement that "God is pneuma" (4:24), an examination of the gospel in light of Stoic physics has not yet been carried out. Combining her insight into Stoic physics and ancient physiology, the author situates her thesis in the major discussions of modern Johannine scholarship- e.g. the role of the Baptist and the function of the Johannine signs- and demonstrates new solutions to well-known problems. The Stoic study of the Fourth Gospel reveals a coherent narrative tied together by the spirit. The problem with which John's Gospel wrestles is not the identity of Jesus, but the transition from the Son of God to the next generation of divinely begotten children: how did it come about? A reading carried out from a Stoic perspective points to the translation of the risen body of Jesus into spirit as the decisive event. The provision of the spirit is a precondition of the divine generation of believers. Both events are explained by Stoic theory which allows of a transformation of fleshly elements into pneuma and of multiple fatherhood. In fact, in his Commentary on John, Origen described Jesus' ascension as an event of anastoixei sis, which is the Stoic term for the transformation of heavily elements into lighter and pneumatic ones.

Book excerpt: One of the most misunderstood subjects in the Bible is the holy spirit and the operation of the nine manifestations. Yet the Christian's knowledge and application of the holy spirit dictates whether this endless power from on high lies dormant or is utilized. Jesus Christ stated, the works that I do shall you do also, and greater works than these because I go unto the Father. Therefore, it mustbe and is available to do the works that Jesus Christ did. The lessons in this book give the background to the power base and training that Christians need on how to manifest power from on high, pnuema hagion.

Download or read book Missed Treasures of the Holy Spirit written by Jeremy Corley and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume on the Holy Spirit, “Missed Treasures” designates the rich pneumatologies in the New Testament books and letters beyond Paul, John, and Luke-Acts. Depictions of the Holy Spirit in Matthew, the Letter of James, Revelation, and other books are analyzed and incorporated into the theological tapestry of New Testament thought. Another unique feature of this volume is its focus on the numinous presence of God in the sweep of Israel’s history; there are chapters on the Septuagint, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Wisdom of Solomon that trace Christian pneumatology back to its source, the Hebrew Scriptures. In short, this volume expands the scholarly conversation exponentially as it explores a complement of texts spanning the New Testament and reaching back into the Hebrew Scriptures. A lucid guide to the distinctive pneumatologies of the New Testament, this collection is must reading for all who would engage the dialogue between scriptural study and systematic theology.
Download or read book The Spirit in Galatia written by David J. Lull and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-07-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of the term pneuma in Paul's letter to the Galations is needed from the side of NT scholarship, because debate continues over the question about the nature of the crisis in the churches of Galatia and, therefore, about the historical occasion of Paul's statements about the Spirit. The focus of this debate is the character of Paul's opponents in the Galatian churches. Currently, the consensus is limited to a single point: that someone was engaging in a circumcizing campaign in the Galatian churches. But on the other points no agreement exists. The two parts of this study are distinguished in that the first part deals with the historical context of Paul's statements about the Spirit in Galatians: that is, the events because of which Paul wrote the letter, and the nature and social setting of expriences of the Spirit in the life of the Galatian churches. The second part deals with the theology of the Spirit in Paul's message to the Galatians, which has three aspects-soteriology, christology, and eschatology. -from the Introduction

Download or read book Pneuma from the Spiritual Condition of Christ to the Holy Spirit Agent written by John Sunday Adimula and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was the identity of the Holy Spirit as a personal agent already obvious in the expressions of faith at the pre-literary stage of Christianity? This book traces the evolution of the expression of the early Christian faith in relation to the notion of pneuma (spirit). It shows that, first of all pneuma, as long as it can be traced from three passages in antithesis with sarks (1 Tim 3:16; 1 Pet 3:18,22 and Rom 1:3-4) reflecting the Christian theology prior to the early New Testament writings, referred to the spiritual condition to which Christ had access as a result of his resurrection, in contrast to his previous earthly condition. Then in a more in-depth examination of Rom 1:4 from the angle of identifiable redactions, it continues to show how the passage/transition from this representation of the pneuma-condition to that of the pneuma (Spirit) designating the Holy Spirit took place.

Download or read book Pneuma and Logos written by John W. Wyckoff and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the Holy Spirit in the writing of Scripture and the role of the Holy Spirit in the understanding of Scripture are corollary ideas. The first one of these--usually referred to as the Inspiration of Scripture--has been extensively discussed by the Early Church Fathers, theologians, and other Bible scholars from the earliest centuries of the Church until the present. Likewise, the second of these corollary ideas--the role of the Holy Spirit in the understanding of Scripture--has been widely considered from the time of the Early Church Fathers. However, this idea, usually referred to as the Illumination of Scripture, has not been as extensively discussed as the corollary doctrine of Inspiration. Consequently, many aspects of the Holy Spirit's relationship to Biblical Hermeneutics remain open for fruitful discussion. The notion that the Holy Spirit plays some role in the interpretative process of understanding Scripture raises many issues and questions. Does the Holy Spirit even play any role at all in the interpretative process? If so, what, then, is the role of the human interpreter in relationship to that of the Holy Spirit? Can the Holy Spirit's role be conceptualized in some meaningful way? If and when the Holy Spirit plays a role in interpretation, what difference does it make in the outcome of understanding? This book intends to further the discussion of these and other issues related to the idea of the role of the Holy Spirit in Biblical Hermeneutics. It briefly surveys both past and contemporary thought on this theme. It then suggests how the Holy Spirit's role might be conceptualized. Since this conceptualization is necessarily metaphorical, various models are presented as vehicles for furthering discourse on the subject. Finally, it attempts to describe the results of the Holy Spirit's activity of illumination and suggests areas for further study on the topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An exciting vision of the future" --Michael Eric Dyson Everything Is Spiritual is an unexpected and compelling invitation to see your life in a whole new way. We have the great moments of our lives, the highs, those times when we soar, when it all makes sense, when it feels like it all has purpose and meaning. And then there are all those other moments—the lows and aches and failures and struggles and experiences that leave us wondering what the point of it all is. Are our lives ultimately bits and pieces and fragments—you try to find a little peace and hope and then it’s over? Or is there more going on here? In our increasingly polarized and disoriented world, Everything Is Spiritual gives us a radical new take on how it all fits together, how it works, how it’s all connected. Part memoir, part extended riff on the quantum nature of reality, part history of the universe, Rob Bell takes us back through the twists and turns and struggles of his story in order to help us see the larger story so that we can reconnect with our story.
Download or read book Pneumaticos written by Prince Mensah and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-29 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pneumaticos is made up of the Greek word "Pneuma" which means a current of air, breath or breeze. It is used to refer to the Spirit of God. The word "ticos" also means activity of. Therefore Pneumaticos means "of the Activities of the breath of God" or "the Activities of the Spirit of God" or "the Manifestation of the Holy Spirit". The Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit to complete the work and the purpose of God on earth. The Holy Spirit came fully to stay, do and complete His work on earth from the day of Pentecost as stated in Acts chapter two. It is worth noting that when the Holy Spirit came, He came upon the disciples of Jesus Christ, living in them and working in/with them through various manifestations. The earliest manifestations or activities of the Holy Spirit the disciple took note of was that the Holy Spirit manifested as rushing wind and tongues of fire. As the disciples were filled with the Spirit, they learnt and then ride on the wind of the Holy Spirit and this is known as Pneumaticos. Riding on the wind of the Holy Spirit means manifesting the Holy Spirit in every area of our Christian lives. Riding on the wind of the Spirit includes;-Being full of the Spirit (Acts 6:3) (Eph 5:18)-Living by the Spirit (Galatians 5:17)-Walking in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:25) (Galatians 5: 16)-Speaking by the Spirit (1 Cor 12:3)-Being led of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:18)-Operating with the gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor 12:7)-Bearing the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22)-Worshipping the Father in spirit by Spirit (John 4:24) The purpose of this book is introduce readers and seekers to the Holy Spirit with the aim of creating an avenue for them to encounter the Holy Spirit and develop an intimate relationship that will serve as their foundation for riding the wind of the Spirit and manifesting the Holy Spirit in every area of their lives.Did you know that the entire creation is waiting for us to manifest as God's sons?Romans 8:19 says "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God".Yes, the earth is eager for us to bring to fruition our godly identities. The book is tailored to help readers find their identity in Christ so they can reflect their godly identities in the world being the cities set on a hill that Jesus said cannot be hidden.
