Download or read book The Power New Testament Revealing Jewish Roots written by William J. Morford and published by True Potential. This book was released on 2023-01-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power New Testament is from the One New Man Bible translation. The goal of the One New Man Bible is to bring a greater understanding of and appreciation for the Jewish roots of Christianity. This translation is part of an ongoing study to learn more about Who God is and to find the deeper meanings of Scripture. Because Jesus was, and still is (Hebrews 13:8), Jewish, as was every apostle, and every author of the New Testament, it was necessary to study much more than just the Greek language to do an accurate translation. This involves Hebrew language studies and the teachings of Jewish scholars to come as close as possible to what the Hebrew Scriptures meant to the New Testament authors. It is also important to learn about Hebrew idioms that are intact in the Greek text. A number of Bible scholars believe that at least the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke were originally written in Hebrew, partly because there are so many Hebrew idioms and so much Hebrew grammar in the Greek text. Whether or not those or other books of the New Testament were originally in Hebrew will not be explored here, but this translation makes every effort to translate those Hebrew expressions properly. Another goal of this translation is to point out Jewish customs that have often been missed and to explain the meanings of various customs. Throughout the text of The Power New Testament, there are over 1,700 footnotes and includes access to the One New Man Bible online Glossary (https: //www.onenewmanbible.com/glossary/) to describe various first-century Jewish customs and to explain Hebrew Scriptures. Many Jewish sources were studied. Among those were the Talmud, Mishna, Midrash, and Zohar, but the full list includes many modern Jewish commentaries that draw upon those four, but also quote numerous ancient and more recent sources. Those studies bring real depth to the subjects in the Glossary, but even more importantly, that study gives insight into the thinking of Jesus and the Apostles, especially the New Testament authors. It is important for those of us reading in the twenty-first century to understand what a word or expression meant to those who wrote the passages in the first century. The Greek text used for this translation is the United Bible Societies' Fourth Edition, published in 1993. The editors used a scientific method called Textual Criticism to determine which of the more than five thousand ancient manuscripts of the New Testament were closest to what the authors wrote in the first century. This method is similar to what the editors of the ancient Greek classics use to determine the most accurate copies of those writings. Because over the centuries, there were many additions to the texts; as the textual scholars have identified them, they have been dropped from some translations or simply identified as added text, but still translated. This translation leaves out completely all passages positively identified by the editors as additions. That makes it possible for you to read a text without the intrusion of material that was not written by the author. The common practice is to translate those passages and just add footnotes to identify them as additions. This translation has as its goal to be a very readable text that flows from one book to another while preserving much of the Jewish flavor, especially the Jewishness of Jesus, and much of the power that is in the Greek and Hebrew expressions. The people who have worked on this translation all believe that by the laying on of hands we have all the gifts of the Spirit of the Living God, the King of the Universe, and that God is the same today as when He created the universe, and He will remain the same for eternit

Download or read book Power in the New Testament written by Pieter De Villiers and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Influential research by authors like Foucault and Arendt revealed the significant role of power in shaping relationships in society and faith communities. This volume contributes to this research trend by analysing the formative role of power in early Christian documents and communities. An introductory essay investigates theoretical approaches to power and the nexus between power and religion. It functions as orientation for the exegetical analyses of individual texts in the rest of the volume. Two contributions analyse power dynamics in the Bible generally and nine others investigate its use in specific early Christian texts. They attend to the vocabulary of power as well as the networks and actors involved in the execution of diverse forms of power. They focus on how these dynamics operate specifically in the Gospels, Pauline texts and traditions and the Apocalypse. They show that power can be abusive and dangerous, but it also is a positive, restraining force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the composition of this book I experienced a growing conviction that the thing with which we believe we are familiar is not the New Testament; it is a conventionalized popular understanding of the New Testament. The simplicity of the New Testament can be deceptive. We have lived with it so long that its explosive power has become sweet reasonableness. I have noticed this not as a preacher but simply as a professional interpreter. It is our office to explain the text....The New Testament interpreter finds that he has the unpleasant task of liberating the text from certain encumbrances." John L. McKenzie, from the preface
