Download or read book The Spirit Paraclete in the Gospel of John written by George Johnston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to make a contribution to the New Testament doctrine of the Spirit, with special reference to the paraclete problem. Dr Johnston begins with the use of the word 'spirit' in the Gospel of John and treats it as primarily 'impersonal'. It denotes divine power or energy. God acts by his spirit, both to create and to redeem. The Fourth Evangelist shows Jesus as the incarnate Word, a man uniquely inspired, whose absence after death is compensated for by an outburst of spiritual powers in his Church. The paraclete is representative of God or of Christ, and the Johannine teaching is that no angelmediator, no holy 'spirit' like the Archangel Michael, can take Christ's place. But truly inspired leaders - acting as teachers, exegetes, martyrs - and the inspired Church itself as a communion of love do embody the spirit-paraclete and do continue to represent Jesus. Special attention is paid to recent research on this subject, mainly in the area of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Dr Johnston argues that in insisting that the true spirit-paraclete must always exalt and interpret Jesus of Nazareth as the final revelation of God in man, John was in fact combating heretical views.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the power of the Paraclete, your life will never be the same. That is what Gentile, a faithful follower of Christ, discovers along her spiritual walk with God. Within the pages of The Paraclete: The Holy Ghost, author Jeannette Ndapu Fotang tells the prayer-driven Gentile's story about her encounter and adventure with the Spirit of God, the divine helper who illuminates Gentile's life wherever she goes in the world. With amazing love, endurance, healing, and forgiveness, the Paraclete accompanies Gentile and blesses her with the strength, grace, and power of Jesus Christ, which she uses to bless those around her. Through Gentile's fascinating relationship with the Paraclete, Fotang will open your eyes to the truth behind how the Holy Ghost influences your daily life and the interactions, decisions, and everyday moments that God uses to shape and transform your story for His glory. By using ordinary people and places to produce extraordinary love, the Paraclete takes Gentile on an incredible journey of discovering her purpose in Christ, and He will do the same for you. Inspired by Fotang's own experiences in life as a Christian, Gentile's pathway of challenges and victories as a mother, a spouse, and a chiropractor will encourage you to pursue the calling that God has placed within your heart as you develop a deep intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Through The Paraclete, God will reveal to your soul the beauty and importance of prayer and communion with God in your life, as prayer produces a unique type of fruit from the holy womb of pure love-the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. The Paraclete is not just a story about faith; it's an inspirational true story about the power of love that sustains us in our daily lives. Jeannette Ndapu Fotang was born in Cameroon. She was invited to the United States in 1995 by her Lover. She was raised up by her parent as a catholic. However she grew up with a unique passion for prayers and an extraordinary attachment for existentialism.
Download or read book Giver of Life written by Fr. John W. Oliver and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents the Orthodox perspective on who the Holy Spirit is, where the mystery of God comes alive. Delving deep and subtly into Orthodox tradition and theology, The Giver of Life articulates the identity of the Holy Spirit as the third Person of the Trinity as well as the role of the Holy Spirit in the salvation of the world. Written with a poetic sensibility, Fr. Oliver begins with Pentecost, an event uniquely celebrated in Orthodoxy as a time when greenery of all kinds is brought into churches. "The splash of green foliage calls to mind not just life, but a special kind of life. It is the life that transcends biological existence and flows from the very Godhead Itself; it is life that's a state of being—immortal, everlasting, changeless. Ferns and flowers fade and die, but souls filled with this ‘life from above' flourish forever." Reflecting on the relationship of the Holy Spirit to the Church, to the world, and to the human person, Giver of Life looks to the impressive biblical and liturgical tradition of Orthodox Christianity. This is a book weighty in content but accessible in tone, not an academic study of the mind, but a lived experience of the heart.

Download or read book The End of Suffering written by Scott Cairns and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The extreme greatness of Christianity lies in the fact that it does not seek a supernatural remedy for suffering, but a supernatural use for it.” –Simone Weil “Like most people I, too, have been blindsided by personal grief now and again over the years. And I have an increasingly keen sense that, wherever I am, someone nearby is suffering now. For that reason, I lately have settled in to mull the matter over, gathering my troubled wits to undertake a difficult essay, more like what we used to call an assay, really—an earnest inquiry. I am thinking of it just now as a study in suffering, by which I hope to find some sense in affliction, hoping—just as I have come to hope about experience in general—to make something of it.” –from the book Is there meaning in our afflictions? With the thoughtfulness of a pilgrim and the prose of a poet, Scott Cairns takes us on a soul-baring journey through “the puzzlement of our afflictions.” Probing ancient Christian wisdom for revelation in his own pain, Cairns challenges us toward a radical revision of the full meaning and breadth of human suffering. Clear-eyed and unsparingly honest, this new addition to the literature of suffering is reminiscent of The Year of Magical Thinking as well as the works of C. S. Lewis. Cairns points us toward hope in the seasons of our afflictions, because “in those trials in our lives that we do not choose but press through—a stillness, a calm, and a hope become available to us.”

This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is divided into three parts. Part One provides a thematic analysis and exegetical commentary on all the relevant biblical and cognate literature, including Josephus, Philo and the Mishnah. Part Two investigates the thinking of key Christian theologians on the Holy Spirit, from the Apostolic Fathers to eighteenth century authors such as John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards. Part Three examines more recent writings on the Spirit, from the nineteenth century onwards, including major systematic theologians such as Schleiermacher, Barth and Moltmann, as well as biblical scholars such as James D G Dunn, Gordon Fee and Gerd Theissen. Thiselton concludes the entire study by identifying seven fundamental themes, and calling for greater dialogue between mainstream scholarship and contemporary leaders of the Pentecostal and Renewal movements.
Download or read book Holy Spirit the Paraclete written by J. B. Foster and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the history of the church, people have gone to extreme measures in either shying away from the Holy Spirit or ignoring His authority. In many instances, some in ministry have overtaken His work under the guise of being "led" by the Holy Spirit. It is as though a spell has been cast over humanity and Christendom has been split into three groups - those who have gone mad in search of worldly power and acceptance, those who are bewitched by the world after stepping into the twilight zone, and a third group who remains steadfast but cautiously silent. The attempt to reconcile Enlightenment thought with divine revelation, with its attacks against Christianity, intentional or not, has brought us to this point. However, for all of man's plans to understand God better by tying together human rationality and science, Jesus' promise to the believer, that the very Spirit of God would dwell within, has been fulfilled. The best gift man could possibly obtain - the power of God with His unconditional love - is set before us. And yet, this simple but extraordinary gift escapes the understanding of man, who, in his own finite wisdom, is attempting to replace the only one that can save humanity. Foster's work is set to break the spell that has been cast over humanity as she opens the readers' spiritual eyes in this study on the least understood Person of the Godhead. This war cry is sounded to awaken those that sleep and to encourage them to arise from the dead, for Christ shall give them light. How foolish of man to be caught at war, under attack, without holy armor. This book delivers an on time warfare message concerning the gift of power of the Holy Spirit in the individual life of a believer and the ability to break the spell of the enemy. This is only one volume in a series covering a full range of theology examining in traditional systematic fashion Bibliology (What is the Bible?), Soteriology (The High Point of Our Salvation), and Christology (Who Do Men Say I AM?). Emphasis on the full expression of Jesus Christ in the blood covenant and the infallibility of Scripture while stressing the relevance of key convictions of Christian faith and practice in today's world without prejudice through the lens of historical development, preservation, testimonials and an examination of reasons to trust the Bible. A step beyond traditional study with several distinctive features to simplify and attract the mildest of interests: a) Clear writing targeted for precision b) technical terms b) relaxed tone appealing to various audiences c) scriptural basis for doctrine, d) a contemporary edge e) reflective quotes This work includes an extensive bibliography and common glossary designed to promote further reading and appreciation for Systematic Theology and critical thinking.
