Download or read book Revelation Revealed written by Dr. Paul A Vallee and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In popular culture, the focus of the biblical book of Revelation has been on the identity of the antichrist and the end of the world. Though Revelation speaks to these issues, the book is primarily about Christ and how he addresses humanity’s enemies, including our greatest enemy, death. Revelation Revealed is an expository commentary that pushes through popular misconceptions and explains Revelation in a clear and engaging manner. Often viewed as a confusing book that is difficult to understand, filled with all kinds of incredible imagery, Revelation actually brings a message of hope in times of perplexity and crisis. In Revelation Revealed, Dr. Paul A. Vallee addresses the cultural background in which the ancient readers understood the text and shows the relevancy of that message to today’s readers. This book is the culmination of forty years of biblical study. The content was originally presented to a live audience over the course of twenty-six weeks. The response encouraged Dr. Vallee to put into print what the audience described as a positive message, clarifying and removing misunderstandings and fear by instilling hope in a world that, like the book of Revelation itself, is often confusing and overwhelming.
Download or read book Crisis VOLUME I written by Desmond Ford and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To his commentary on Daniel, Dr. Ford has now added a detailed study of the Revelation to John, and it is a pleasure for me to write a few words in commendation of this work as I did for its predecessor.Since the exegesis of Revelation is a subject on which I myself have published some reflections, readers will know that not all the conclusions reached by Dr. Ford coincide with my own views.His confessional background is different from mine; to me, for example, the New Testament antitype of the sabbath is that divine rest into which "we who have believed" find entrance.His estimate of the historical and geographical reference of many of the details of Revelation differs from mine; to me the book is primarily intelligible in the light of the church's experience in the Roman Empire in the second half of the first century A.D. But, just because the visions of John were seen in that contemporary context, they have a permanent and universal relevance, especially for readers living in a situation not unlike that in which John and his first readers lived. And Dr. Ford's study deserves special commendation because of the clarity with which it brings out that permanent and universal relevance. He has read widely in exegetical literature, as the wealth of quotation in the following pages shows; yet throughout he has exercised his own judgment on the meaning of the text.Above all, the book of the Revelation emerges from his study as a powerful witness to the authentic biblical gospel.It is always a source of pride and joy for me to greet and commend the work of a former student, but when the work proclaims the faith of the gospel so eloquently as Dr. Ford's work does, the pride and joy are doubled.

Download or read book The Crisis of Revelation written by Ross McRonald and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty-one-year-old Jack Molay is a wealthy, retired engineer who now finds himself with plenty of time to read. Among his reading material are two highly controversial works of nonfiction: Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Tomb of God. Both books posit that Jesus did not die in the Holy Land, as the Bible says, but rather later in Franceand that his body was buried there. Molay is surprised when he seemingly makes more sense of these books than the authors. He believes the books are correct; furthermore, he believes he can locate the final resting place of Jesus Christ. He organizes an expedition to southern France and, once there, uses his expertise as a mining engineer to locate a cave that contains two limestone ossuaries filled with bones. His friend and associate, Dr. Ron Campbell, determines that the hand bones show evidence of a crucifixionbut are the bones really the last remnants of Jesus Christ? Soon, Molay feels as if he and his team are in danger. The Vatican appears, as do other sinister forces planning to thwart their efforts. If Molays suspicions are true, the implications for the entire Christian faith are dramatic. There are those who would do anything to keep Molays discovery a secret; his curiosity could get him killed.

Download or read book The Book of Revelation and Its Interpreters written by Ian Boxall and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Revelation has fired the imaginations of theologians, preachers, artists, and ordinary Christians across the centuries. The resulting number of commentaries on the book is enormous, and most studies can only touch upon, at most, a representative sample of this vast literature. As a consequence, many focus largely on the interpretation of the Apocalypse only within specific periods, such as the patristic period or during the Reformation. One result of this severe limitation given the vast literary corpus is how historical interpretations in critical commentaries of the Book of Revelations tend to prioritize authors from the modern period. In The Book of Revelation and Its Interpreters: Short Studies and an Annotated Bibliography, editors Richard Tresley and Ian Boxall fill a significant gap in the scholarly literature. At its heart is an extensive annotated bibliography, covering commentaries on the book up to 1700, including most of the early illuminated Apocalypses. Supporting the presentation of this survey of the historical interpretations of the Book of Revelation is an extended overview of Revelation’s often-colorful reception history by Christopher Rowland, together with a number of short studies on various aspects of the book. These include discussions of specific commentators, such as Sean Michael Ryan’s look at Tyconius and Francis X. Gumerlock exploration of Chromatius of Aquileia, alongside a more general treatment of Revelation’s impact on the figure of John of Patmos in an essay by Ian Boxall and the visual reception of Revelation in Natasha O’Hear’s article. The Book of Revelation and Its Interpreters provides a valuable bibliographical resource for those working in the field of Biblical Studies, history of Christianity, eschatology and apocalyptic studies. The accompanying essays orient the authors recorded in the bibliography within a larger context, offering specific examples of the Apocalypse’s capacity to speak in fresh and often surprising ways to diverse audiences throughout history.

Download or read book Theological Reflection and Education for Ministry written by John E. Paver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major and continuing problem for theological education and the practice of Christian ministry is how to best achieve a genuine integration between theory and practice, theology and experience. The key claim of this book is that theological reflection, beginning with experience, is a method of integration and that pastoral supervision is a vehicle for theological reflection. In establishing this claim, John Paver demonstrates that the model and method have potential to be a catalyst for reform within theological colleges and seminaries. Three different theological reflection models are developed and critiqued in this book, and their capacity to be developed in particular contexts is explored. This book does not stop at ministry, cultural and personal integration, but is bold enough to make recommendations for structural integration within the theological institution.
Download or read book Four Views on the Book of Revelation written by Zondervan, and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the books of the Bible, few are as fascinating or as intimidating as Revelation. Four grim horsemen, the Antichrist, the ten-horned beast, the ultimate battle at Armageddon, the "mark of the beast." It's no wonder that these images have griped the imagination of so many--and have been variously interpreted as symbolizing everything from Hitler and Gorbachev to credit cards and the Internet. Is the book of Revelation a blueprint for the future? A book of powerful symbolic imagery with warnings for the church? Is it essentially an imaginative depiction of historical events in the first century? Four Views on the Book of Revelation explores four interpretations of the book of the Apocalypse: Preterist – a historical interpretation, arguing that most of John’s prophecies occurred in the first century, soon after his writing of them. Idealist – a spiritual or symbolic interpretation, arguing that the events in Revelation are not literal, and that apocalyptic literature requires a different approach than the Gospels or Epistles. Classical dispensationalism – a literal interpretation based on a reading of Revelation that pays close attention to the rules of grammar and the separate eras of covenantal history. Progressive dispensationalism – a modification of classical that has its root in the understanding of Christ's reign beginning immediately after the resurrection. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
