Download or read book History Literature and Theology in the Book of Chronicles written by Ehud Ben Zvi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History, Literature and Theology in the Book of Chronicles presents a new way of approaching this key biblical text, arguing that the Book employs both multiple viewpoints and the knowledge of the past held by its intended readership to reshape social memory and reinforce the authority of God. The Book of Chronicles communicates to its intended readership a theological worldview built around multiple, partial perspectives which inform and balance each other. This is a worldview which emphasizes the limitations of all human knowledge, even of theologically "proper" knowledge. When Chronicles presents the past as explainable it also affirms that those who inhabited it could not predict the future. And, despite expanding an "explainable" past, the Book deliberately frames some of YHWH's actions - crucial events in Israel's social memory - as unexplainable in human terms. The Book serves to rationalise divinely ordained, prescriptive behaviour through its emphasis on the impossibility of adequate human understanding of a past, present and future governed by YHWH.

Download or read book The Historial Books FIRST CHRONICLES written by Jeanne Gossett Halsey and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dialogue in 1st Chronicles 17:15-27, between David and God, is one of the most pure and genuine displays of a humble heart we are going to read in the entire Bible. David loved God ... and God loved David. David was utterly committed to the Father/son relationship he enjoyed with God. He constantly looked for God's presence in every situation of life - and this attitude was reiterated throughout his life; including those fiercely intense times on the battlefield when he was swinging his sword with all his might, stabbing into another human's body or hacking off the head of his enemy (see 1 Samuel 17:37, 45-47). Both the verses in 1st Samuel and 1st Chronicles sound like a man who knows that God is with him! Never once did David take credit for defeating his enemies - every time he declared it was God moving through him that won the battle.

Download or read book Hand Me Another Brick written by Charles R. Swindoll and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 1998-10-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do others look to you for leadership? Do you face a major task or shoulder heavy responsibilities? Do you want to take your leadership skills to a higher level? When Nehemiah confronted the task of rebuilding Jerusalem's wall, he was heartbroken by the damage he saw and nearly overwhelmed by the task that lay before him. Yet through the application of timeless leadership principles, Nehemiah completed this nearly impossible project, and laid a pattern for success which is just as valid for us today. Charles Swindoll brings his sensible and straightforward style to offer a deeply spiritual approach to the role of leader. Whatever the context, secular or ministerial, he demonstrates how to size up a task, organize and motivate a team, and respond to inevitable obstacles such as these: Unforeseen setbacks Unrelenting deadlines Criticism and outside resistance Personality conflicts Financial pressures and temptations The insights that Swindoll draws from Nehemiah's wise administration will change your approach to leadership forever.

Download or read book The David Story A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel written by Robert Alter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

Download or read book A Family Tree written by Andrew Stewart and published by Welwyn Commentary S. This book was released on 1997 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A readable commentary, with good illustrations and applications, linking well with the New Testament, especially in its pointing towards Christ. Originally written as one book, 1 and 2 Chronicles summarize, not only the history of God's people from the creation of the world until the edict of Cyrus in 538 B.C., but also the theology of the Old Testament - the revelation that God gave of himself at creation, to the patriarchs, through Moses, during the monarchy, exile and restoration. 1 Chronicles takes this narrative up to the establishment of the monarchy under David, culminating in the building of the temple. The underlying message is that of a covenant God who provides salvation for his people, through a Redeemer foreshadowed by the deliverer-kings whom God gave to his people.
