Download or read book A Message of Peace written by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and published by Islam International Publications Ltd. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world plagued with intolerance for cultural, racial and religious differences, A Message of Peace serves as a panacea to the ills of the society. Prophetic in foresight and universal in scope, this book lays out a path to the peaceful existence of all humans based on the central theme of worshipping the One God. It is not surprising therefore that A Message of Peace forms the last work of a man who was destined to lay the foundation for the establishment of peace in this day and age and whose advent was prophesied in all major religions of the world-the Promised Messiah and Reformer of the Latter Days. "My countrymen!" writes the Promised Messiah, "A religion which does not inculcate universal compassion is no religion at all. Similarly a human being without the faculty of compassion is no human at all."

Download or read book Covenant of Peace written by Willard M. Swartley and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One would think that peace, a term that occurs as many as one hundred times in the New Testament, would enjoy a prominent place in theology and ethics textbooks. Yet it is surprisingly absent. Willard Swartley's Covenant of Peace remedies this deficiency, restoring to New Testament theology and ethics the peace that many works have missed. In this comprehensive yet accessible book Swartley explicates virtually all of the New Testament, relating peace -- and the associated emphases of love for enemies and reconciliation -- to core theological themes such as salvation, christology, and the reign of God. No other work in English makes such a contribution. Swartley concludes by considering specific practices that lead to peacemaking and their place in our contemporary world. Retrieving a historically neglected element in the Christian message, Covenant of Peace confronts readers anew with the compelling New Testament witness to peace.

Download or read book The Messiah of Peace written by Thomas E. Boomershine and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The telling of Mark's story of Jesus as the Messiah of peace in the decades following the Roman-Judean war announced a third way forward for Diaspora Judeans other than warfare against or separation from "the nations." Mark's Gospel was the story of the victory of a nonviolent Messiah who taught and practiced the ways of a new age of peace and reconciliation in contrast to the ancient and modern myth of redemptive violence. The Messiah of Peace is a performance-criticism commentary exploring a new paradigm of biblical scholarship that takes seriously the original experience of the Gospel of Mark as a lively story told to audiences rather than as a text read by readers. The commentary is correlated with the Messiah of Peace website, which features video recordings of the story in both English and Greek. Critical investigation of the sounds of the Markan passion-resurrection narrative reveals the identity of its original audiences as predominantly Judean with a minority of Gentile nonbelievers. Hearing the passion-resurrection story was an experience of involvement in the forces that led to the rejection and death of Jesus--an experience that brought on the challenges inherent in becoming a disciple of the Messiah of peace.

""Boomershine''s new book marks a significant step forward in the emerging field of performance criticism. Combining decades of research in both Mark and ancient media culture, the author demonstrates the utility of orality research by addressing a number of well-established critical problems in the framework of a careful reading of Mark''s passion account. This book offers significant new insights not only into Mark''s gospel, but also new ways of thinking about exegesis of the New Testament."" --Tom Thatcher, Professor of New Testament, Cincinnati Christian University, Cincinnati, OH ""Tom Boomershine in The Messiah of Peace has truly shown light into the understanding of Mark as story, an approach that is relevant for students of the Bible and lovers of peace in Africa. The oral culture people in Africa need to hear the gospel as story in order to effect meaningful peace. This book is a useful scholarly commentary for all pastors, seminary students, and professors, as well as all lovers of the passion and resurrection of Jesus in Africa."" --George Vimensi Minang, Coordinator of the Network of Biblical Storytellers, Ndu, Cameroon ""Boomershine''s book is the fruit of a life of engagement with Mark''s passion narrative in order to understand the impact it made on those who first heard it. This commentary is a bold plea for all of us to reconsider everything we thought we had figured out regarding the way this account functioned in the ancient world. . . . Those who have ears to hear this book''s compelling claims will understand that this is not just one more commentary on Mark''s gospel, but is a prophetic call for a whole new paradigm of biblical study."" --Philip L. Ruge-Jones, Professor of Theology, Texas Lutheran University, Seguin, TX ""Boomershine''s Messiah of Peace ambitiously moves readers toward a new paradigm in biblical interpretation: an appreciation of Mark''s passion-resurrection story as interactive performance. When structured into sound units, the gospel''s narrative voice draws hearers into the process of involvement and sympathetic identification. As a result, centuries of referential readings, be they of a theological or historical kind, are overcome, and interpretation is restored to what it used to be: meaning as narrative experience."" --Werner H. Kelber, Isla Carroll Turner and Percy E. Turner Professor emeritus of Biblical Studies, Rice University, Houston, TX ""Thomas Boomershine fashions new analytical tools from his experiences as a literary critic and storyteller. Based on sound maps of the Greek text, Boomershine traces ''sonic echoes'' through Mark''s gospel, the Septuagint, and secular Greek literature to guide a performance of Mark''s passion and resurrection narrative.

Download or read book Refuting Rabbinic Objections to Christianity Messianic Prophecies written by Eitan Bar and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For us, Jews who grew up in Israel, Jesus and His word were never part of the conversation. Not in our school system, not in our synagogues, and not in our media. Nor do we have easy access to the New Testament. Jesus has been studiously avoided, and hidden from our people. Today in Israel, 99.7% of the Jewish population, reject Jesus as the Messiah. How did our country, where the gospel first took place, come to be so adamantly against it?Within Judaism over the last two millennia, any kind of spiritual message had to go through the "gate keepers," the Orthodox Jewish Rabbis. The Rabbinic Judaism of the Orthodox comes directly from the sect of the "Pharisees," whom Jesus rebuked: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in." (Matthew 23:13)Ever since the days of Messiah, the Rabbis have set themselves in opposition to the gospel, blocking the message of Jesus from Israel. They deliberately prevent Jewish people from hearing about the free salvation offered to them in the death and resurrection of their own Jewish Messiah. They have gone to great lengths to conceal Jesus, and keep him the best kept secret in Judaism., keeping our people in spiritual darkness.But now the secret is out!After almost 2000 years, Jesus, or as we call him in Hebrew, Yeshua, can no longer be hidden from the people! Today, our ministry, ONE FOR ISRAEL, reaches Jewish and Arab Israelis exactly where they are - online. We no longer need the rabbis' permission for anything. We can go straight into the smartphones, tablets, and computers of every Israeli, sharing the saving good news of Yeshua the Messiah!In the past, the message of the gospel came to Israel from outside our borders, delivered by people who didn't understand our language, our culture, our heritage or our way of thinking. Today the messengers look very different. Now it is Jewish and Arab Israelis who are bringing the gospel back to where it started - back to our own people Israel. We can explain the gospel to our people in a way that makes sense to them, in our own native tongues of Hebrew and Arabic as only Israelis can, and help our people understand who Yeshua really is.The Orthodox rabbis in Israel operate an "anti missionary" organization called Yad L'Achim, specifically to fight against the spread of the gospel among the Jewish people. This very well-funded organization, works very closely with the Minister of Interior in the Israeli government. They seek to prevent Jewish people from leaving the confines of Rabbinic Judaism by any means necessary (not always legally), and relentlessly persecute us, the Jewish believers in Jesus in Israel. With over 90% of the names, photos and addresses of all the Messianic Jews in Israel on file, Yad L'Achim began sending a magazine called "Searching" to the homes of believers in Israel back in 2014. The magazine contains objections and refutations from Orthodox rabbis about the messiahship of Jesus, the credibility of the New Testament, and trying to ridicule and destroy the belief in Jesus. This caused several Jewish believers, even including some who had been missionaries, to deny their faith in Jesus and revert to rabbinic Judaism. Over the past five years, I decided to go over all of their magazines, books and videos, in order to answer their arguments and prove their objections false. Since 2015 we have released about 150 short videos where we share the gospel and directly refute these rabbinic objections to Jesus, New Testament and Christianity. This book is a compilation of transcripts from these videos, all in one place for your consideration. While the content of this book is based on five years of academic research, I did my best to write it in a simple, easy-to-read way, in order to keep this book as short as possible.Please SHARE links to this book!: )

This book was released on 2014-06-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, Michael Gorman asks why there is no theory or model of the atonement called the "new-covenant" model, since this understanding of the atonement is likely the earliest in the Christian tradition, going back to Jesus himself. Gorman argues that most models of the atonement over-emphasize the penultimate purposes of Jesus' death and the "mechanics" of the atonement, rather than its ultimate purpose: to create a transformed, Spirit-filled people of God. The New Testament's various atonement metaphors are part of a remarkably coherent picture of Jesus' death as that which brings about the new covenant (and thus the new community) promised by the prophets, which is also the covenant of peace. Gorman therefore proposes a new model of the atonement that is really not new at all--the new-covenant model. He argues that this is not merely an ancient model in need of rediscovery, but also a more comprehensive, integrated, participatory, communal, and missional model than any of the major models in the tradition. Life in this new covenant, Gorman argues, is a life of communal and individual participation in Jesus' faithful, loving, peacemaking death. Written for both academics and church leaders, this book will challenge all who read it to re-think and re-articulate the meaning of Christ's death for us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Season of Advent. What does it mean for the 21st Century Christian? In this new devotional by Pastor Tony Turner, he examines the season through the eyes of a modern day Believer. While pulling from the traditional symbolism celebrated throughout the centuries in the Catholic church, Turner sheds light on how the season is relevant and meaningful for the seeking Protestant. Designed as a life-applicable devotional, this study provides Christians with a glimpse at how the real reason for the season is a combination of both the celebration of the birth of Christ and the expectation of his return. Turner helps the seeking believer identify the joys of knowing peace year-round, rather than observing peace from afar during the chaotic Christmas season. The Advent of the Messiah is a must-have devotional for Christians from across the board who seek to grow in their walk - all while understanding the true meaning of the Season of Advent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Coming Messiah: Hope for a Hurting World provides a glimpse of history and how the world arrived at this point in time by maintaining a focus on the nation of Israel. God's redemptive story is woven throughout its pages, providing encouragement and hope for those who may feel they have no hope. We see war and strife on every side, distress among nations, famine and disease, and a time when evil is called good and good is called evil. Yet even in the midst of extreme difficulty and persecution, you can find peace, you can have hope-hope that can only be found in the person of Jesus Christ. The Coming Messiah: Hope for a Hurting World tells how you can have that hope, hope that surpasses all understanding. Difficult times are sure to come, yet God has provided a way of escape through his dear Son, Jesus Christ.
