Download or read book Why I Love the Apostle Paul written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul." —John Piper No one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul—except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way. Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother? If we know this man—if we see what Piper sees—we too will love him. Paul's testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.

Download or read book Paul and His Life Transforming Theology written by Roger Mohrlang and published by Wipf and Stock. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: Here is a concise, inviting introduction to the greatest of the early Christian missionaries, the Apostle Paul--his life, his letters, his thinking--and the life-transforming gospel he proclaimed. Readers will find this book academically stimulating, theologically rich, and personally challenging. It highlights the ways Paul's life and thinking differ from--and challenge--the life and thinking of Christians today. Written in nontechnical language for both Christian students and general Christian readers, this book--the result of a lifetime of studying and teaching Paul's letters--will be helpful to all students and teachers of the Bible who want a deeper understanding of Paul, his theology, and the implications of his powerful letters for Christians today. Endorsements: ""This carefully crafted book--the result of a lifetime of study, teaching, and reflection on Paul--is drawn from firsthand witness of the apostle's Epistles and the book of Acts, rather than from the voluminous secondary literature on Paul. Only a master of the art can take a complex and sometimes daunting figure, and by focusing on what is true, essential, and enduring, produce such a lucid and illuminating study."" --James R. Edwards, Professor of Theology, Whitworth University ""Roger Mohrlang has produced a simple, basic, and lucid introduction to Paul's theology that will be helpful to a wide readership. The content of Paul's theology is set forth with impressive clarity, but also with very practical relevance to the human condition. The result is not only informative, but also practical and even inspirational. Few books offer so rich a content in such a small compass."" --Donald A. Hagner, Professor Emeritus of New Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary ""[This] gives evidence of meticulous scholarship. . . . It unequivocally presents well-argued conclusions on some of today's controversial issues on the interpretation of Paul's writings and theology. It skillfully handles the difficult paradoxes in Paul's thought, but is written in a style that is accessible to the uninitiated. This is a rare combination that makes this an outstanding introduction to Paul that I hope to keep close to me for constant reference."" --Ajith Fernando, Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka ""Clearly written, informed in its scholarship, and incisive in its treatment of the main issues in the apostle's life and thought, Mohrlang's book will serve as an excellent introduction to Paul. Solidly within the evangelical tradition, the book nonetheless offers a biblical challenge to a number of trends in contemporary evangelicalism. It will warrant and reward careful study."" --Stephen Westerholm, Professor of Religious Studies, McMaster University About the Contributor(s): Roger Mohrlang is Professor of Biblical Studies at Whitworth University, Spokane, Washington. He also serves as a Bible translation consultant. He is the author of Matthew and Paul: A Comparison of Ethical Perspectives (1984, 2004) and Romans (Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, 2007).

It offers: A profile of Paul in his historical and cultural context Outlines and explanations of his missionary journeys Introductions and brief analyses of each of his epistles Useful for individual study or as a textbook (as it is in many universities today), Paul the Apostle is a great one-stop study of the man who wrote half the New Testament, spread the gospel to the heart of the known world, and gave his life for the Kingdom.
