This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Drama of Two Cities or the Revelation of Jesus Christ Rev. George Athearn Adams was born December 21, 1821, in West Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard, Mass. In 1826, with his parents, he came to Newburg, near Cleveland, Ohio. When 12 years of age, in 1833, his father passed away, leaving his mother with seven children, the subject of this sketch being the oldest. In 1835 the lad made his home with an uncle at Buffalo, where he resided a number of years, during which time he learned the trade of a tailor. Determined to have an education, by working at his trade and teaching, he furnished the means to take a college course at Oberlin college, graduating in 1847. In 1848 he entered the Theological seminary at Andover, Mass., graduating from that school in 1851, preaching and teaching some during his course of four years' study. As a pastor his first charge was at Rockville, Ind., a place now noted for its missionary zeal. Here he remained several years, but on account of his uncompromising hostility to slavery, he aroused intense opposition. His unquestioned integrity of character was only equaled by his undaunted Christian courage in behalf of the downtrodden and oppressed. Eventually leaving Rockville, he went to Willoughby, Ohio, where he preached one year. In 1856 he went to Perrysburg, Ohio, taking the pastorship of the Presbyterian church, which he retained for over 47 years, until God called him to his reward.

Download or read book From Achilles to Christ written by Louis Markos and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-09-20 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The heart of Christianity is a myth which is also a fact." --C. S. Lewis In From Achilles to Christ, Louis Markos introduces readers to the great narratives of classical mythology from a Christian perspective. From the battles of Achilles and the adventures of Odysseus to the feats of Hercules and the trials of Aeneas, Markos shows how the characters, themes and symbols within these myths both foreshadow and find their fulfillment in the story of Jesus Christ--the "myth made fact." Along the way, he dispels misplaced fears about the dangers of reading classical literature, and offers a Christian approach to the interpretation and appropriation of these great literary works. This engaging and eminently readable book is an excellent resource for Christian students, teachers and readers of classical literature.
Download or read book The Divine Key to the Revelation of Jesus Christ written by William Eugene Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divine Key to the Revelation of Jesus Christ: As Given to John, the Seer of Patmos In the introductory chapter are stated the grounds for my conviction that the Revelation proper (not the entire Book) is wholly symbolic. The establishment of this point I regard as of fundamental importance in reaching any clear and legitimate conclusions. The reasons urged in its support, its uniform application in detail throughout the three visions canvassed, and the resulting beautiful harmony, must speak for themselves. Of their imperfect presentation I am deeply sensible, and on that score I sincerely crave the indulgence of my readers, specially of those whose critical acumen is sure to detect blemishes.

Download or read book Essays on Revelation written by Gerald L. Stevens and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Revelation perennially provokes outlandish futurist predictions proven patently false over time. Such prophecy failures leave the inquiring mind with a strong sense that the book of Revelation is nothing but a hoax, safely ignored and without contemporary relevance. The inevitable practical result, not only for church members, but for their ministers as well, is a canonical book stripped bare of canonical authority. In this volume, six contributors collectively attempt to provide a path toward recanonizing Revelation, reclaiming its authority and relevance through christological foundations. The result is a book not only useful in the collegiate and seminary classroom, but also for serious small-group Bible studies wanting to glean from Revelation something deeper than a fear of being "left behind."
Download or read book Revelation written by Gerald L. Stevens and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This three-part study covers the history of interpretation, theological foundations, and exegesis. Copious illustrations from the author's worldwide travels enhance discussion of Rome's emperors, empire, and ideology as the premier horizon for understanding John's immediate context and meaning. Distinctive contributions include Stevens's effort to re-canonize Revelation by insisting on gospel concord, methodically interpreting all of Revelation through the lens of the seven churches and showing how Revelation's imagery consistently relates more to the incarnation than the Parousia. Stevens bypasses traditional millennial options to argue that Revelation is "passion-millennial"--the passion of Jesus predicates the passion of the church. Under Stevens's hands, Revelation becomes eminently sensible to the original audience and powerfully pertinent for today's church.
Download or read book How Jesus Became God written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime—and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself. How Jesus Became God tells the story of an idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first. A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman reveals how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty, Creator of all things. But how did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? In a book that took eight years to research and write, Ehrman sketches Jesus’s transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus’s followers had visions of him after his death—alive again—did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today. Written for secular historians of religion and believers alike, How Jesus Became God will engage anyone interested in the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God.
