Download or read book The Puzzled Preacher written by David Balsley and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did the Lord see fit to include the book of Ecclesiastes in His inspired Word? Down through the centuries, many people have wondered how Solomon could have moved so far from his walk with the Lord and the wisdom of the Proverbs to the pessimism of Ecclesiastes in one lifetime. For this reason, some have questioned Solomons authorship of the book. But Solomon is only one of many who have taken a spiritual detour in life. As a result, there are many people in our nation and our world who can readily identify with the outlook of Ecclesiastes, because they too are living their lives as Solomon did for a timeunder the sun. This verse-by-verse tour of Solomons experience will help you understand where Solomons spiritual detour took him, and where he finally came to realize he should have been going instead. You will be encouraged to move out from under the sun to the abundance of life in the light of the Son!

Download or read book The Letter to Philemon written by Markus Barth and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although sometimes regarded as trivial because of its brevity or its treatment of issues distant from the modern world, the letter to Philemon remains valuable both for its insight into the social setting of the New Testament and for its reiteration of a central component of the gospel-brotherly love. This superb new commentary in the ECC series is unique for its exhaustive study of the ancient world at the time Philemon was written. The volume examines the institution of slavery in Paul's day, drawing on secular sources from Greece and Rome and from Christian writers of the time. The references to slavery found in Ephesians, Colossians, and 1 Timothy are also compared and contrasted with Paul's words in Philemon. In addition, the verse-by-verse commentary focuses on important themes in Pauline theology, including love, faith and faithfulness, church unity, providence, free will, and human responsibility. Markus Barth makes his exposition even more useful by surveying the history of the interpretation of Philemon, from the patristic age to modern liberation theologians. The product of Barth's lifelong research and completed by Helmut Blanke, this volume will become the standard work on Philemon.
