Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Jesus of Nazareth? Buried beneath two thousand years of theology and dogma lies a real historical person who founded a movement that evolved into the largest religion in the history of the world. But is it possible to know what he really said, did, and believed? This book applies the Marxist conception of history to the study of the historical Jesus. It focuses on class, material conditions, and textual analysis to extract the authentic sayings and deeds of Jesus of Nazareth. The implications are far-reaching for followers of Christ wishing to base their faith in reason and science. They also offer guidance and inspiration for modern activists and revolutionaries wishing to challenge the same unjust systems of power that Jesus faced in his own lifetime.

Download or read book Is This Not The Carpenter written by Thomas L. Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historicity of Jesus is now widely accepted and hardly questioned by most scholars. But this assumption disarms biblical texts of much of their power by privileging an historical interpretation which effectively sweeps aside much theological speculation and allusion. Furthermore, the assumption of historicity gathers further assumptions to it, shaping the interpretation of texts, both denying and adding subtext. Scholars are now faced with an endless array of works on the historical Jesus and few question what has been lost through this wide-spread assumption of historicity. Is This Not the Carpenter? presents a very valuable corrective: a literary rereading of the New Testament.

Download or read book The Carpenter s Son written by Ron W. Simmons and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is humanity’s ultimate destiny? Could there be life beyond the grave? What is genuine spirituality? These questions and many more are answered by a carpenter’s son, Jesus, born in ancient Judaea two thousand years ago. He healed thousands, yet never received medical training. He taught in streets, homes, and temples, yet never achieved scholarly status. He demanded perfection, yet chose the imperfect to follow him. He spoke of the arrival of an eternal kingdom, yet he never ran for political office or led a nation. He spoke of peace and love, yet led the greatest counter-revolutionary effort in human history. Despised by his critics and revered by society’s lowest members, Jesus still speaks to our deficiencies as well as our weaknesses, and assures a redemption we could never achieve on our own. Out of an original rebellion, we all face a self-imposed defeat by pointlessly attempting to establish our own kingdoms despite confronting the same abysmal fate. Yet, God has achieved the greatest comeback in history by conquering death, and in doing so, has prepared for us a victory we could not possibly imagine, for to lose all is to gain all.

Book excerpt: "Keep moving," barked Joseph. "We need to get as far away from Bethlehem as possible before the sun rises. We will seek shelter by day." "Stop, Joseph!" Mary screamed, falling to the ground and holding tightly to her young son. "Enough! Where are we going? Why did we leave? Why are we in danger? Is the Almighty so careless with the details? Did his angel tell you nothing?"... Joseph stood stunned and speechless before his wife, fallen before him. His instinct was to rush to her side and fix the anguish his thoughtlessness had caused her, but something arrested him and held him in place, as if he would otherwise intrude upon a holy moment. Time stopped. A soft silence began to settle into Mary's soul. She felt the movement of a gentle spirit touching her heart at the point of her pain.... "I see only fear in your eyes, Joseph," she quietly continued as her lips began to quiver. "What has become of your faith? I love you, and I will follow you wherever you go, my husband, but I will not follow fear. I will only follow faith." And then, Mary wept. Join Mary and Joseph as they flee from a malevolent foe determined to destroy them and their young family. Experience their journey into exile-facing danger, wonder, heartbreak, romance, and mystery-as they raise their firstborn son, the child of the secret.

Book excerpt: Fatherhood Principles of Joseph The Carpenter is a challenging and exciting motivational book for fathers with ground-breaking analysis of the scriptures on this Great Man of Faith. As the earthly father to Jesus Christ, Joseph was a Godly man, a man of character, a loving husband, a family man, a teacher, a provider, and a protector. Joseph was a purpose-driven servant of God.Joseph is a great role model for 21st century men, husbands and fathers. He was a great man of faith (like Abraham, Noah & David). Fatherhood Principles of Joseph The Carpenter sheds light on aspects of Joseph's life that many people have never thought of, has ground-breaking analysis of this Great Man of Faith, provides 7 Godly principles that men can implement today, explains details of the Jewish background for many Biblical scenes, and is easy-reading, well researched and well-documented.

In this revised and updated edition, with over 15 million copies in print since its original publication, More Than a Carpenter has changed countless lives. Now, in this revised and updated edition, Josh is joined by his son, Sean, as they tackle the questions that today's generation continues to ask: "Can I be spiritual without believing in God?" "How can I make sure that my life counts for something?" "Is it really possible to know anything for sure about God or Jesus?" This edition is an accessible read for seekers and a great evangelism tool.

They give one of their leftover trees to construction workers building Rockefeller Center.

Through the kindness of new friends and old neighbors, Henry's wish is granted, and he plants a pinecone to commemorate the event.

Download or read book Hard Rain Falling written by Don Carpenter and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2010-06-23 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hardboiled novel about life in the American underground, from the pool halls of Portland to the cells of San Quentin. Simply one of the finest books ever written about being down on your luck. Don Carpenter’s Hard Rain Falling is a tough-as-nails account of being down and out, but never down for good—a Dostoyevskian tale of crime, punishment, and the pursuit of an ever-elusive redemption.

Jack befriends Billy Lancing, a young black runaway and pool hustler extraordinaire. A heist gone wrong gets Jack sent to reform school, from which he emerges embittered by abuse and solitary confinement. In the meantime Billy has joined the middle class—married, fathered a son, acquired a business and a mistress. But neither Jack nor Billy can escape their troubled pasts, and they will meet again in San Quentin before their strange double drama comes to a violent and revelatory end.

Download or read book Why Karen Carpenter Matters written by Karen Tongson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the '60s and '70s, America's music scene was marked by raucous excess, reflected in the tragic overdoses of young superstars such as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. At the same time, the uplifting harmonies and sunny lyrics that propelled Karen Carpenter and her brother, Richard, to international fame belied a different sort of tragedy—the underconsumption that led to Karen's death at age thirty-two from the effects of an eating disorder. In Why Karen Carpenter Matters, Karen Tongson (whose Filipino musician parents named her after the pop icon) interweaves the story of the singer’s rise to fame with her own trans-Pacific journey between the Philippines—where imitations of American pop styles flourished—and Karen Carpenter’s home ground of Southern California. Tongson reveals why the Carpenters' chart-topping, seemingly whitewashed musical fantasies of "normal love" can now have profound significance for her—as well as for other people of color, LGBT+ communities, and anyone outside the mainstream culture usually associated with Karen Carpenter’s legacy. This hybrid of memoir and biography excavates the destructive perfectionism at the root of the Carpenters’ sound, while finding the beauty in the singer's all too brief life.
