Download or read book Representing Zion written by Frederik Poulsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prophetic books of the Old Testament offer a fascinating collection of oracles, poetic images, and theological ideas. Among the most prominent themes are those of judgment and salvation, especially concerning the fate of Zion. This place, where the people of God dwell, is alternately presented as either the object of divine wrath or the image of a salvific ideal. Representing Zion provides a thorough and critical study of the images of Zion in the entire prophetic literature of the Old Testament. The book challenges traditional interpretations of Zion and offers a fresh exploration of the literary and theological nature of the biblical writings. Zion has largely been treated by scholars as an image of the inviolable city consistently and unambiguously used by Old Testament authors. Representing Zion reveals the Zion motif to be contested, complex and profoundly theological—a reflection of the ambiguous role of YHWH as judge and saviour.
Download or read book The Theology Of Salvation written by Stephen Paul Burke and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Theology of Salvation walks the reader through the Old Testament and The New Testament realities of salvation, revealing how people can be saved, in other words, born-again. It brings to light the Biblical realities of how God saves people and how people get saved from the Old Testament types and symbology of salvation, to the New Testament realities (post-cross) of man's need for salvation, as well as the actual manner in which an individual procures salvation - the free gift of God. It is an actual revealing of the Holy Scriptures in both the cause and effect of salvation. It is one of The Bible College Club - Kingdom College Textbooks written at the Seminary level, while remaining an easy read for those new to the subject of salvation. For those seeking salvation, it is perfect because it dispels many of the erroneous theological concepts that for centuries have mis-led people into false types and forms of salvation. It is the results of a five year study by Stephen Paul in which God sent him across churches that are both non-denominational and denominational in American culture. Stephen interviewed 160 various types of churches, including the Pastors and leadership and found that 90% (144 of 160) had no Bible-based idea regarding the actual Theological-Doctrinal Foundational Christianity reality of salvation. They simply did not know the plan of salvation. This is why God sent Stephen far and wide across America over a time period of five years to conduct this audit of the churches, with respect the churches and pastors comprehension of Salvation. This is a definitive and comprehensive study revealing The Theology of Salvation. The Theology of Salvation is a much needed, easy to read study which has been designed to dispel much error in the churches and bring the reader to conclusive evidence and 'how to information', regarding obtaining personal salvation, and how to determine with certainty, the Assurance of his or her personal eternal state, as pertaining to salvation. This simply exceeds what has been released to the general public previously, as it is in fact a Bible College and Seminary Level Textbook, and as such can be utilized in the equipping of Pastors and ministry professionals to gain a clear and accurate view regarding God's plan of redemption, and assists those seeking salvation as well. It is a perfect read for those desiring to discover the Biblical reality of God's plan and purposes for their salvation and their life in general because of salvation.

Download or read book Salvation and the Old Theology written by Len G. Broughton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Salvation and the Old Theology: Pivot Points in Romans When I went into this course with the class I promised that I would endeavor to set forth the teaching of this great Epistle without regard to any theory that men have set up concerning it, and this purpose I have kept in mind continually. At some points I have been forced to present a different view from many of our most popular expounders of to-day, but wherever the differ ence has arisen I have found myself in harmony with the most orthodox expositors of The days of the fathers. The Epistle to the Romans is without doubt the bed-rock'in the theology of the wisest and best men that the Church has ever had. They have built their theology on its teaching. The essential doctrines of God, Christ, sin, atonement, propitiation, redemption, reconciliation, and Sal vation, as taught in Romans and held by the early Church, have been carefully considered in the series, and without trimming or modification. My purpose has been to present these old doc trines in the regular order in which the Apostle puts them, and to do it in the language 'oi the people; so that the simplest and plainest mind might grasp them.

Download or read book God s Glory in Salvation through Judgment written by James M. Hamilton Jr. and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Exodus 34 Moses asks to see God's glory, and God reveals himself as a God who is merciful and just. James Hamilton Jr. contends that from this passage comes a biblical theology that unites the meta-narrative of Scripture under one central theme: God's glory in salvation through judgment. Hamilton begins in the Old Testament by showing that Israel was saved through God's judgment on the Egyptians and the Caananites. God was glorified through both his judgment and mercy, accorded in salvation to Israel. The New Testament unfolds the ultimate display of God's glory in justice and mercy, as it was God's righteous judgment shown on the cross that brought us salvation. God's glory in salvation through judgment will be shown at the end of time, when Christ returns to judge his enemies and save all who have called on his name. Hamilton moves through the Bible book by book, showing that there is one theological center to the whole Bible. The volume's systematic method and scope make it a unique resource for pastors, professors, and students.

Download or read book Irresistible written by Andy Stanley and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Wright uses this verse as a lens through which he surveys the Bible’s teaching on 'salvation’. Every phrase in the verse resonates with significant themes in the Old and New Testaments, all of which combine to show that the Bible tells the story of God’s salvation very broadly indeed, in relation to the character and purposes of God, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the redemption of all creation, the joy of Christian experience and the responsibility of Christian mission. This clear, deep and warm-hearted exposition enriches our grasp of the Bible’s multi-faceted teaching about salvation.

Download or read book The Meaning of Salvation written by Michael Green and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Green shines a light on salvation as it appears in Scripture and in our lives. In this perennial classic of soteriology, Michael Green explores the deeply human longing for salvation. But what did salvation mean to Jewish and Gentile people at the time of Jesus? Green traces salvation through the Old Testament, first-century Greco-Roman sources, and the New Testament. What emerges is the conviction that salvation is not just a hope for the future, but an offer of redemptive grace for the here and now. In a culture increasingly rife with despair and anxiety, Green’s timeless work offers a message of hope in the good news of Jesus Christ. “There are few ways in which the Church could better serve this generation than by recovery, a translation into modern idiom, and a bold proclamation of the wonderfully comprehensive message of salvation contained in the Scriptures.”
