Download or read book Revelations written by Elaine Pagels and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.

Download or read book Revelation written by G. K. Beale and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-02 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G. K. Beale’s monumental New International Greek Testament Commentary volume on Revelation has been highly praised since its publication in 1999. This shorter commentary distills the superb grammatical analysis and exegesis from that tome (over 1,300 pages) into a book more accessible and pertinent to preachers, students, and general Christian readers. As in the original commentary, Beale views Revelation as an integrated whole, as a conscious continuation of the Old Testament prophetic books, and shows that recognizing Revelation’s nearly constant use of Old Testament allusions is key to unlocking its meaning. Interspersed throughout the volume are more than sixty sets of “Suggestions for Reflection” to help readers better grasp the relevance of Revelation to their lives and our world today.
Download or read book Revelation as History written by Rolf Rendtorff and published by New York : Macmillan. This book was released on 1968 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Granskou's translation into English of Revelation as History makes available to the English-speaking world for the first time one of the controversial works of modern theology. In it, a group of young German theologians, led by Wolfhart Pannenbrg of Mainz University, propose a reinterpretation of the concept of revelation--that is directed against both the Barthian and the Bultmannian understanding of the word of God as the basis of theology. Bultmann, who is skeptical of the historic character of Christian revelation, holds that the divine will is known only through God's word as contained in Scripture. Barth strongly emphasizes the uniqueness of God's revelation in Christ. Pannenberg and his group hold as limited these authoritarian ideas of the divine word and of the obedience it calls for, and argue instead that all of history is an indirect revelation of God's existence. The idea of the divine word and of the obedience it calls for, and argue instead that all of history is an indirect revelation of God's existence. The idea of the divine word is not excluded in their reinterpretation, but it is reinstituted to a more modest and subordinate role within the context of revelation as history. Pannenberg first reviews the modern history of the concept of revelation, introduces the theme of the book, and constructs the framework of the presentation. The subsequent exegetical investigations by Rolf Rendtorff and Ulrich Wilkens argue the evidence for the case in the Israelite and primitive Christian testimonies of faith expressed in the Old and New Testaments. Pannenberg then fully states the new interpretation of revelation as history, and Trutz Rendtorff concludes with an exploration of the problems created by this point of view when applied to the church. Revelation as History represents a significant attempt to resolve the conflicting positions of the existential and historical schools of thought on the theological issue of revelation--one that rejects the authoritarian style of theological thought in favor of an open rationality combined with a concern for the substance of the Christian tradition. -Publisher

Download or read book How Jesus Became God written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime—and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself. How Jesus Became God tells the story of an idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first. A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman reveals how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty, Creator of all things. But how did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? In a book that took eight years to research and write, Ehrman sketches Jesus’s transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus’s followers had visions of him after his death—alive again—did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today. Written for secular historians of religion and believers alike, How Jesus Became God will engage anyone interested in the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God.
Download or read book Next Door Savior written by Max Lucado and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We applaud men for doing good things. We enshrine God for doing great things. But what about a man who does God things? One thing is certain. We can't ignore him. If these moments are factual, if the claim of Christ is actual, then he was, at once, man and God. The single most significant person who ever lived. Forget MVP. He is the entire league. The head of the parade? Hardly. No one else shares the street. Who comes close? Humanity's best and brightest fade like dime-store rubies next to him. Dismiss him? We can't. Resist him? Equally difficult. Why would we want to? Don't we need a God-man Savior? A just-God Jesus could make us, but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us, but never save us. But a God-man Jesus? Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust. A next door Savior.
Download or read book Thunder Vision written by Calvin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the Church of Christ. Who is God and what evidence is there that what he says is real and true? What are the promises of God? Has God delivered on his promises? If The God of the Bible is the one and only true god is there a logical way to see and know the things he claims is true? In this Book Thunder Vision I would like to make the case that the book of revelation gives us the ability to see the evidence on all these questions. In the post modern world we live we are bombarded with questions about God and our faith in god that are hard to answer. We hear Questions like these almost every day. People are looking for the truth, some belief the bible at face value and some look for more concrete evidence. In the end we all have to look at the evidence in the Creation and more importantly his revealed will in his law and through his Son Jesus Christ. Because of my belief and faith in God as an Evangelical Christian and student of the Bible, faith has been essential for understanding his Promises. On the other hand I want to show you there are Logical numerical patterns encoded in the Chapters and verses of the book of revelation that will enhance your faith which in turn authenticates the words of God by using simple math. Addition, division, subtraction. This plays on our intellect and in turn helps us to understand what he is saying. This pattern of numbers or seals in the book of revelation lets us see God and his promises to us in the rest of the bible clearer than ever before. The Bible was written to us by God through many people through the ages, as we look back into history at His promises in the light of the seven seals, this helps us understand him more. The seals coincide with the seven days of creation in genesis and we see this pattern throughout the bible as a whole. So when God references ideas and promises in Prophesies in the seven seal structure we can always get a better sense what he is talking about. My hope is that we will learn to love him more through Johns teaching in the book of Revelation.

Download or read book Coming Soon written by Michael Barber and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a book of the Bible more often discussed and yet less understood than the Book of Revelation? The "seven seals." The "dragon." The "beast." The "sea of glass." The fantastic imagery found in the Book of Revelation has long captivated Christians but remains mysterious to many. In the midst of so much discussion about the end times, what does Revelation teach us about living in the present moment, with our eyes focused on the heavenly Jerusalem? Michael Barber's Coming Soon explores these questions by taking a detailed look at Revelation and its rich tapestry of prophecy, history, and biblical allusion. Barber explores the profound link between the Mass celebrated here on earth and the eternal reality of heaven, demonstrating that the Apocalypse reveals truth that has practical implications for today and points to a firm hope in tomorrow. Coming Soon is a verse-by-verse commentary on the Book of Revelation using the Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition of the Bible. Barber provides a Catholic interpretation, which sees the liturgical background of this book of Scripture-a perspective missing in many Protestant commentaries.
