Download or read book The Cross in the New Testament written by Leon Morris and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-11-01 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From time to time in the study of theology it becomes necessary to evaluate what Scripture has to say on certain crucial doctrines of the faith. Leon Morris, one of this generation's most respected evangelical scholars, here offers a survey of the vast subject of atonement as it is presented in the New Testament. THE CROSS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT explores in turn Matthew and Mark, the Lukan writings, John, the Pauline epistles, Hebrews, the catholic epistles, and Revelation, showing what each New Testament scripture contributes to our understanding of atonement. While Morris emphasizes the need to appreciate the many strands woven into this doctrine, he criticizes the views of modern scholars that do not square with the biblical teaching. At the heart of the doctrine of atonement is the idea of substitution, Morris believes, and his thorough examination and defense of substitutionary atonement make this volume a theological apologetic of great significance. Trusted as an exhaustive and reliable work of scholarship for over forty years, 'The Cross in the New Testament' remains an invaluable text for serious students of the Bible.

Download or read book Alterity and identity written by Jackie Assayag and published by Editions de L'Ecole Des Hautes Etudes En Sciences Sociales. This book was released on 1997 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'islam et le christianisme, présents en Inde depuis plus d'un millénaire, y comptent respectivement 10 et 20 millions d'adeptes (sur un total de 850 millions d'habitants). Ces deux religions du Livre se sont acclimatées aux contextes locaux, et leur adaptation, sous des formes plurielles, variables selon les époques, a suscité des débats sans fin parmi leurs fidèles. Un tel développement, s'il a parfois engendré des tensions dans les rapports inter-communautaires, ne peut se comprendre sans être replacé dans le cadre plus global des acculturations incessantes que connaît la société indienne, que ce soit celles entre mouvements religieux, ou régions, langues, castes, etc. Les auteurs des douze contributions à ce volume, qui couvrent le Nord comme le Sud de la péninsule, ont choisi d'aborder la question des musulmans et des chrétiens en Inde en mettant l'accent sur les mille et une façons dont les acteurs sociaux construisent et définissent in situ leur(s) identité(s) et leur altérité. Ils se sont intéressés aussi bien aux pratiques qu'aux controverses, en faisant appel à des disciplines variées : anthropologie, histoire, philologie, linguistique, sociologie urbaine. S'opposant aux discours que tiennent sur les chrétiens et les musulmans les militants radicaux du nationalisme hindou, cette approche souligne les spécificités des formes multiples de l'islam et du christianisme indiens, désormais confrontés aux transformations de l'hindouisme et aux interrogations profondes nées d'une « modernisation » prenant l'Occident pour modèle. Ces études invitent à la comparaison avec les autres aires culturelles où s'épanouissent également ces deux religions du Livre.

Download or read book Mary and Early Christian Women written by Ally Kateusz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND license. This book reveals exciting early Christian evidence that Mary was remembered as a powerful role model for women leaders—women apostles, baptizers, and presiders at the ritual meal. Early Christian art portrays Mary and other women clergy serving as deacon, presbyter/priest, and bishop. In addition, the two oldest surviving artifacts to depict people at an altar table inside a real church depict women and men in a gender-parallel liturgy inside two of the most important churches in Christendom—Old Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome and the second Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Dr. Kateusz’s research brings to light centuries of censorship, both ancient and modern, and debunks the modern imagination that from the beginning only men were apostles and clergy.

Download or read book Architecture for the Dead Cairo s Medieval Necropolis written by Galila El Kadi and published by American Univ in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great medieval necropolis of Cairo, comprising two main areas that together stretch twelve kilometers from north to south, constitutes a major feature of the city's urban landscape. With monumental and smaller-scale mausolea dating from all eras since early medieval times, and boasting some of the finest examples of Mamluk architecture not just in the city but in the region, the necropolis is an unparalleled--and until now largely undocumented--architectural treasure trove. In Architecture for the Dead, architect Galila El Kadi and photographer Alain Bonnamy have produced a comprehensive and visually stunning survey of all areas of the necropolis. Through detailed and painstaking research and remarkable photography, in text, maps, plans, and pictures, they describe and illustrate the astonishing variety of architectural styles in the necropolis: from Mamluk to neo-Mamluk via baroque and neo-pharaonic, from the grandest stone buildings with their decorative domes and minarets to the humblest--but elaborately decorated--wooden structures. The book also documents the modern settlement of the necropolis by families creating a space for the living in and among the tombs and architecture for the dead.

Download or read book Latin and Greek Monasticism in the Crusader States written by Bernard Hamilton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monasticism was the dominant form of religious life both in the medieval West and in the Byzantine world. Latin and Greek Monasticism in the Crusader States explores the parallel histories of monasticism in western and Byzantine traditions in the Near East in the period c.1050-1300. Bernard Hamilton and Andrew Jotischky follow the parallel histories of new Latin foundations alongside the survival and revival of Greek Orthodox monastic life under Crusader rule. Examining the involvement of monasteries in the newly founded Crusader States, the institutional organization of monasteries, the role of monastic life in shaping expressions of piety, and the literary and cultural products of monasteries, this meticulously researched survey will facilitate a new understanding of indigenous religious institutions and culture in the Crusader states.
