Download or read book The Fourfold Gospel Volume 1 written by John DelHousaye and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-07 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spirit of Ludolph of Saxony (c. 1295-1378) and Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), The Fourfold Gospel invites the reader into the mystery of God's redemption in Jesus Christ. All the parallel passages in the Gospels are glossed together, along with the unique material, using a medieval interpretive approach called the Quadriga or the acronym PaRDeS in Hebrew. Meditating on the literal, canonical, moral, and theological senses of Scripture offers a scaffolding for the spiritual formation of the reader. This volume, in addition to a thorough introduction to the method and the Gospels, focuses on the beginning of the story--the birth, baptism, and temptations of Christ.

Download or read book Theodicy and Spirituality in the Fourth Gospel written by Daniel DeForest London and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel DeForest London argues that the Fourth Gospel offers a potentially transformative response to the question of suffering and the human compulsion to blame. Based on his reading of John 9 (the man born blind), London argues that the Gospel does not offer a theodicy, but rather a theodical spirituality, an experience of praying the question of suffering and remaining open to a divine response. London shows how the Johannine Jesus’s response poses three sets of symbols in dichotomy (day/night, vision/blindness, sheep/wolf), each subverted by another, core symbol (light, judge, shepherd). By interpreting these symbols in light of mimetic theory, he argues that Jesus’s response reveals the scapegoat mechanism in which an innocent victim is blamed by violent victimizers. However, rather than blaming the victimizers, Jesus continues to engage with the characters who appear to be villains: the light of the world transforms night and day into one continuous day; the Good Shepherd welcomes sheep and wolf into his beloved flock. In this way, readers are invited to bring to the Johannine Jesus their own violence, resentment, and wolfish rage regarding the question of suffering and to experience the theodical spirituality of the Fourth Gospel.

Download or read book Spirituality in John s Gospel written by Gabriel-Mary Fiore and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fourth Gospel has been known as the “spiritual gospel” since the second century, but only recently have biblical scholars attempted to express the unique spirituality found in that sacred text. Surprisingly, no consensus has emerged even after a century of research. Thus, while John’s Gospel is widely admired as a vibrant source of Christian piety, the distinct features of its spirituality remain unclear. Fr. Fiore addresses this problem from the fresh perspective of spiritual theology. Capitalizing on a century of Johannine biblical scholarship, he uses the interdisciplinary methods of spiritual theology to bring new data to the study of the Gospel and solutions to many lingering questions: How did ancient readers understand what scholars now refer to as the Gospel’s spirituality? How does that ecclesial reading compare to the analysis of modern critical exegesis? What makes Johannine spirituality special among other forms of Christian piety? How does the question of the Gospel’s authorship impact our understanding of its spirituality? Does the Gospel contain what we now call “mysticism”? In what ways is John’s spirituality still relevant for Christians today? Students of Christian spirituality and Johannine exegesis alike will find here stimulating historical and theological analysis of the Gospel’s spirituality.

Download or read book Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching Volume IV written by Evelyn Theresa Watson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Volume IV the author, Evelyn Theresa Watson, compares the Revelator's words to scriptural and gospel prophecy verifying the doctrinal mystery and miracle that lie behind the religious warfare of past and present ages. Her commentary presents THE REVELATION OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE as a treatise on the life and time of Jesus Christ as the messenger of the messianic message unto the seven churches. She attests to the Revelator's seven visions of revealed prophecy which retell the previous two thousand years of unfulfilled scriptural prophecy and foretell one hundred years of fulfilled gospel prophecy. The author correlates these two time periods to the nineteen hundred years of biblical prophecy that followed. The beginning of the twenty-first century marks the end times of the Bible's historical phases of prophetic teaching.

Download or read book Did Jesus Teach Salvation by Works written by Alan P. Stanley and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-09-20 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the role of works in salvation in the Synoptic Gospels. Jesus was all too aware of people who claimed to believe in Him and yet proved to be not truly born again (e.g., John 2:23-25; 8:31-46). A profession of faith made at some point during one's life is no guarantee that heaven awaits that person. Such professions or conversion experiences must be followed by changed lives if faith is to be shown to be genuine saving faith. Hence Jesus teaches that regardless of one's profession, if one does not demonstrate a changed life produced by God, one will not enter into heaven. Such a judgment will be made when Jesus returns and judges every person according to his or her works. While this may seem contradictory to some more well-known passages ruling out the role of works in salvation (e.g., Rom 3:21-4:25; Gal 2:16-21; Eph 2:8-9), there is every good reason to understand that Jesus' teachings complement such passages. The works that admit one into heaven are not works produced by the flesh before conversion but works produced by God after conversion. They will fundamentally be characterized by a life of discipleship, love for others, and endurance in faith and obedience, and will therefore serve to confirm that one indeed did have a relationship with God during one's life. Hence Jesus did teach salvation by works. However God is the one who produces the works and they occur after conversion. Thus salvation is not one's initial conversion but one's final entrance into heaven.
