Download or read book Seven Days That Divide the World written by John C. Lennox and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did the writer of Genesis mean by “the first day”? Is it a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, am I denying the authority of Scripture? In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis, John Lennox proposes a succinct method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God’s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth. With this book, Lennox offers a careful yet accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.
Download or read book Seven Days with the Gospel of John written by Joseph G. Donders and published by Twenty-Third Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John's gospel reads like a detective story with its intriguing questions: "What are you looking for?" "What have I done for you?" "Do you love me?" "Do you now believe?" The numerous characters in this story are always in a relationship with Jesus. From the first person to the very last one, they slowly discover who Jesus really is. During this "retreat" Fr. Donders guides us in following the developments -- the ups and downs -- of the discovery made by the persons who surround Jesus. He offers meditations for both morning and evening, as well as points for prayer and action. Here we follow Jesus as he is seen by so many others: in his moments of teaching, healing, suffering, and glory. In so doing we will be drawn into our own story, to learn not only what the life of Jesus is about, but also what our own lives are about. Seven Days with the Gospel of John provides an excellent prayer experience for individuals and groups and serves as a study guide for those who wish to delve more deeply into the most sublime of all the gospel accounts.

Download or read book The Gospel of John and Christian Theology written by Richard Bauckham and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-25 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the disciplines of biblical studies and systematic theology have grown apart and largely lost the means of effective communication with one another. Unfortunately, this relational disconnect affects more than just these particular fields of study; it impacts the life of the church as a whole. The first St. Andrews Conference on Scripture and Theology brought leading biblical scholars and systematic theologians together in conversation, seeking to bridge the gap between them. Due to its profound influence on the development of Christian theology, John's Gospel is an ideal base for rekindling fruitful dialogue. The essays here -- taken from the inaugural conference -- consider this Gospel from many angles, addressing a number of key issues that arise from a theological discussion of this text: John's dualism in our pluralist context, historicity and testimony, the treatment of Judaism, Christology, and more. -This is the beginning of a conversation that can only be enriched by variety and experimentation. . . . It is a signpost . . . pointing towards a not-too-distant future when interdisciplinary conversation and collaboration between these two natural partners will become, no longer occasional and surprising, but a normal and essential element in the flourishing of both.- -- Richard Bauckham (from the introduction) Contributors: Paul N. Anderson Stephen C. Barton Richard Bauckham D. Jeffrey Bingham C. Stephen Evans Terry Griffith Martin Hengel Kasper Bro Larsen Tord Larsson Judith Lieu Andrew T.

Book excerpt: "In this accessible and engaging introduction, [John Lennox] guides us through the great debates about science and faith, and offers incisive assessments of the issues." Alister McGrath, Professor of Science and Religion, University of Oxford Is the rigorous pursuit of scientific knowledge really compatible with a sincere faith in God? Building on the arguments put forward in God’s Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?, Prof John Lennox examines afresh the plausibility of a Christian theistic worldview in the light of some of the latest developments in scientific understanding. Prof Lennox focuses on the areas of evolutionary theory, the origins of life and the universe, and the concepts of mind and consciousness to provide a detailed and compelling introduction to the science and religion debate. He also offers his own reasoning as to why he continues to be convinced by a Christian approach to explaining these phenomena. Robust in its reasoning, but respectful in tone, this book is vital reading for anyone exploring the relationship between science and God.

The retreat is based on the spiritual dynamics found in Luke's gospel. On this retreat we want to know Jesus as Luke came to know him, to see him as Luke did. Luke was a physician who saw not only the personal ills of the people who figure in his gospel, but also the spiritual ills of the time. He saw hope come into the world in the person of Jesus. Each meditation on Luke's gospel concludes with questions for reflection, as well as a suggested prayer and action response to help bring the reflection to life. Father Donder's book can also serve as a study guide for those who wish to delve more deeply into the gospel of Luke. May your seven days with the gospel of Luke draw you closer to Jesus.
