Book excerpt: The wave of refugees that started moving to the shores of Europe in 2011 and by 2015 reached flood levels in Germany has changed the churches there. At least, those churches that allowed the flood waters to enter their congregations. As many Christians responded with love and mercy to the refugees and many churches opened their hearts and doors to the strangers, they dared to walk into unknown waters. Suddenly many congregations faced challenges and frustrations nobody could have anticipated, and encountered changes and fears never experienced before. It has also become a new day for the church in Europe. In this book the author speaks from a biblical theology: "God loves the stranger! He told the Israelites to care for the stranger in their midst as if he were an Israelite. He himself became a stranger amongst us to make us citizens of heaven so that, in turn, we would lead strangers amongst us to Him to embrace their true citizenship in Christ."In 2011 Stephen Beck launched a church in Frankfurt, Germany that was swept up in the ensuing refugee wave. Through his experience with the Mosaik Church, and through the experience of many other churches in Europe, he tells us what happens when churches begin to move with God's wave. You will read almost unbelievable stories of God's work with people who walked the refugee trail and what happens when Christians reach out to them and welcome them into their homes and churches. The author takes us through various aspects of the church's ministry and mission, such as evangelism, worship, community life, conversion and baptism, and gives us practical how-to's when Muslims suddenly show up in church and God's people welcome them with open arms and godly courage: a movement.

Download or read book The Future of the Catholic Church with Pope Francis written by Garry Wills and published by Penguin Books. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prizewinning historian Garry Wills argues that changes have been the evidence of life in the Catholic Church. It has often changed, sometimes with unwanted consequences, more often with good. In this brilliant and incisive study, he gives seven examples of deep and serious change that have taken place (or is taking place) within the last century. As Wills contends, it is only by examining the history of the Church that we can understand Pope Francis's and the Church's challenges.

Download or read book Herrmann the Great A Journey through Media written by Michael Cantor and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-04-22 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lithe of build, graceful of tongue and carriage, dark, piercing eyes, and facial features cast from a prince of the underworld, Alexander Herrmann embodied the word "magician." His persona permeated the popular culture of his day, and his image still holds power in our present societal subconscious as the archetypal conjurer. A mesmeric personality both on and off the stage, he was ever the theatrical magician, ever the exhibitor of his craft. The book is intended to be a journey of Herrmann through the lens of his audience, as projected through the newsprint of the day. It does not seek to delve behind the scenes, but to hopefully paint a picture on the canvas of the goal of his craft - mystifying vast audiences of theatrical patrons. A fascinating progression of Herrmann's art and influence, as well as a glimpse of the ubiquitous theater and its value in bygone American culture.

Download or read book Respectable Folly written by Clarke Garrett and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1975. The French Revolution generated a wave of popular piety and religious excitement in both France and England, where millenarians—prophets of the millennium—attempted to interpret the Revolution as the fulfillment of the predictions of Daniel and St. John the Divine. This study discusses the millenarian ideal in the context of the intellectual and religious attitudes of the time. Rejecting interpretations of millenarianism that chalk it up to class struggle or mass hysteria, Garrett stresses the interaction between politics and religion, viewing the phenomenon as the interpretation, by a varied assortment of individuals, of coincident political events in eschatological terms. Faced with a change as significant as the French Revolution, people found in the prophetic books of the Bible an understanding of what was happening to them. If the Revolution was God's will, if its development had been foretold, then surely the final outcome would be beneficial, at least for the faithful. Political events became eschatological events, and dangers and misfortunes became simply the chastisements that a fallen world must undergo before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ can redeem it. Although some of the beliefs may now seem bizarre, Garrett shows that, at the time, they attracted many followers for whom these ideas were both reasonable and respectable. Focusing on the careers of three millenarians—Suzette Labrousse, Catherine Théot, and Richard Brothers—Garrett tries to understand these prophets as persons rather than dismiss them as fanatics. Their prominence resulted from their success in transmitting a new political consciousness through familiar religious imagery. While the Revolution gave urgency and tangible reality to millenarian convictions, Labrousse, Théot, and others were convinced, well before the Revolution, that they were the bearers of divine revelations and thus welcomed the Revolution as confirmation of their own missions.

Download or read book The Good And Evil Serpent written by James H. Charlesworth and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The serpent of ancient times was more often associated with positive attributes like healing and eternal life than it was with negative meanings. This groundbreaking book explores in plentiful detail the symbol of the serpent from 40,000 BCE to the present, and from diverse regions in the world. In doing so it emphasizes the creativity of the biblical authors' use of symbols and argues that we must today reexamine our own archetypal conceptions with comparable creativity.--From publisher description.

Download or read book Browning s Lyrics written by Eleanor Cook and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1974-12-15 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Browning's lyrics are favourite choices for anthologies but are rarely examined closely. This is the first full-length study of the lyrics, and includes detailed analyses of such well-known poems as Love Among the Ruins, Two in the Campagna, A Serenade at the Villa, A Toccata of Galuppi's, By the Fireside, and James Lee's Wife. Eleanor Cook explores Browning's use of repeated images and themes in the lyrics, examines these patterns in other poems and in his letters, and analyses their growth and change in all his work. She demonstrates how the lyrics may be linked with Browning's other work and shows something of his essential artistic unity. His imaginary is found to be more consistent and complex than is usually assumed. Students of Browning will find this work stimulating and instructive, while lovers of Browning will read it with pure pleasure. The reader will return to many of the poems with a rciher sense of their continuing vitality. In an earlier form this study was awarded the first A.S.P. Woodhouse Prize by the University of Toronto.

Download or read book The Christological Witness Function of the Old Testament Characters in the Gospel of John written by Sanghee M Ahn and published by Authentic Media Inc. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the narrative function of the Old Testament characters in the Gospel of John. The fascinating thesis is that the Hebrew characters in John's narrative uniformly function as a witness for the messianic identity of Jesus. The Jewish scriptural traditions (Hebrew and intertestamental ones) are compared to shed light on John's indebtedness for its formation of his Christology. A compelling argument ensues, which informs our understanding, not only of the Gospel itself, but also of Jesus Christ revealed in the Gospel. COMMENDATION "Dr Ahn's thorough and careful study represents a solid contribution, from which many will benefit. All serious interpreters of the Johannine witness will want to refer to this work." - Mark A. Seifrid, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, USA
