Download or read book History Literature and Society in the Book of Acts written by Ben Witherington (III) and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-05-09 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These seminal essays introduce the reader to the interdisciplinary approach of New Testament scholarship which is affecting the way the Book of Acts is studied and interpreted. Insights from the social sciences, narratological studies, Greek and Roman rhetoric and history, and classics, set the Acts of the Apostles in its original historical, literary and social context; these methods of interpretation have not always been applied to biblical study in a systematic way. The discussions from a shared general perspective range over genre and method, historical and theological problems, and issues of literary criticism. History, Literature and Society in the Book of Acts is an interesting and valuable overview of some of the chief preoccupations of biblical studies with contributions from leading scholars in the Old and New Testaments and the history of antiquity.
Download or read book Jesus written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-23 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly accessible discussion, Bart Ehrman examines the most recent textual and archaeological sources for the life of Jesus, along with the history of first-century Palestine, drawing a fascinating portrait of the man and his teachings. Ehrman shows us what historians have long known about the Gospels and the man who stands behind them. Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament (and other surviving sources, including the more recently discovered Gospels of Thomas and Peter), Ehrman proposes that Jesus can be best understood as an apocalyptic prophet--a man convinced that the world would end dramatically within the lifetime of his apostles and that a new kingdom would be created on earth. According to Ehrman, Jesus' belief in a coming apocalypse and his expectation of an utter reversal in the world's social organization not only underscores the radicalism of his teachings but also sheds light on both the appeal of his message to society's outcasts and the threat he posed to Jerusalem's established leadership.

Download or read book Calling on the Prophets written by Colin Bearup and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on Common Ground All the prophets are to be taken seriously by Muslims. They know the names of many Bible characters and often know Islam’s version of their stories. Most Muslims, however, are also aware that they do not know the whole story. This book is about sharing the precious truth of the gospel by referencing characters on whom Muslims themselves set a high value. Calling on the Prophets offers helpful, practical conversational habits to initiate, navigate, and steer conversations through the common ground of our prophetic heritage. This is not a method to replace all others; it is an extra ability to add to our skill set. In the first four chapters, Colin Bearup lays out the principles and sets ground rules for respectful, fruitful conversations. The next ten chapters apply these principles to fourteen Bible characters known to Muslims as prophets. If we master the approach, we can engage in these example conversations and successfully delve into others. None of these ideas are totally new, but they are brought together in one slim volume with real-life examples. Here is an opportunity to learn new ways to enhance our effectiveness in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
Download or read book Mounce s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words written by William D. Mounce and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 1544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, Vine’s Expository Dictionary has been the standard word study tool for pastors and laypeople, selling millions of copies. But sixty-plus years of scholarship have shed extensive new light on the use of biblical Greek and Hebrew, creating the need for a new, more accurate, more thorough dictionary of Bible words. William Mounce, whose Greek grammar has been used by more than 100,000 college and seminary students, is the editor of this new dictionary, which will become the layperson’s gold standard for biblical word studies. Mounce’s is ideal for the reader with limited or no knowledge of Greek or Hebrew who wants greater insight into the meanings of biblical words to enhance Bible study. It is also the perfect reference for busy pastors needing to quickly get at the heart of a word’s meaning without wading through more technical studies. What makes Mounce’s superior to Vine’s? The most accurate, in-depth definitions based on the best of modern evangelical scholarship Both Greek and Hebrew words are found under each English entry (Vine’s separates them) Employs both Strong’s and G/K numbering systems (Vine’s only uses Strong’s) Mounce’s accuracy is endorsed by leading scholars
Download or read book Prophetic Figures in Late Second Temple Jewish Palestine written by Rebecca Gray and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isolated passages from the writings of Josephus are routinely cited in general studies of early Jewish prophecy, but the present work is the first comprehensive examination of this material. Gray begins with a discussion of the significance of the belief--widely attested in Jewish sources from the late Second Temple period--that prophecy had ceased. She proceeds to outline a general theory about the nature and status of prophecy in this period. Giving careful consideration to the prophetic claims that Josephus makes for himself, she argues that these claims are more substantial and more important for understanding Josephus than is usually thought. Gray goes on to examine Josephus' reports concerning prophecy among the Essenes and Pharisees, and his accounts of the activities of the "sign prophets" and other figures. In every instance, Gray interprets the evidence about prophecy in relation to Josephus' personal career and his thought and work as a whole. Drawing on a range of evidence, much of which has not played a significant role in other studies of early Jewish prophecy, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in Josephus, the history of prophecy in Israel, or the historical Jesus.

Download or read book The Prophets of Israel written by James K. Hoffmeier and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeing the biblical prophets in context makes all the difference in understanding their messages In The Prophets of Israel, Old Testament scholar and longtime field archaeologist James K. Hoffmeier explores the biblical prophets through their ancient settings. Readers gain a more accurate and comprehensive understanding through many practical components: Full-color photos and images of historical and cultural importance Focus on the geopolitical contexts of the prophets Clear explanations of the prophets' provoking messages Discussion questions for Bible students or instructor use These features and photos vividly illustrate the biblical narratives and the prophets' concerns, helping readers better comprehend each text's message and make informed theological applications. The biblical prophetic tradition extends far before and far after the Major and Minor Prophets. Yet all biblical prophets--including recognizable figures like Moses and Elijah, lesser-known prophets like Huldah and Micaiah, and the New Testament prophets--ministered in distinctive cultural and historical circumstances. Hoffmeier draws on his extensive knowledge of ancient Near Eastern culture, geography, political realities, and the Old Testament message to locate the prophets in their worlds. This approach illuminates prophetic messages and ministries with a theological clarity that basic history and literary interpretation cannot achieve.

Download or read book The Prophets of God written by John F. Finkbeiner and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are at war! When our Lord and King prepares for battle, he first releases a loyal band of servants (prophets) who boldly declare his intentions. Objective observers agree that this world is headed in a very bad direction. The signs for an impending disaster are everywhere. Profiteers are capitalizing on this growing sense of danger, by manufacturing dire end-of-the-world predictions. These false prophecies swirl about as people struggle to make sense of the increasing insanity and violence. Presently, God is selecting and preparing his anointed prophets for a global assault. They will overturn the money-changers’ tables in the compromising and lukewarm church as they announce the coming destruction of the wicked. Even now, Satan is sending a great multitude of his minions to every institution where he has a foothold, in order to undermine the truth and fill the minds of the Biblically uninformed with lies, fear and hatred. It will take a hero’s courage to read The Prophets of God with an open mind and an open Bible. Taking a Pre-Wrath Rapture position, the arguments contained inside have the power to rock the Christian establishment to its core. If the message in this book becomes widely known, it will thoroughly upset those profiting from the status quo. But that is what the Spirit must do! What comes out of the prophet’s mouth is a two-edged sword that judges each one hearing the message. Inside The Prophets of God, readers will have a valuable resource as they go forward to the end of this age and the return of Christ. Each page promotes wisdom that comes from God while exposing the deceit that originates in the hell of his defeated foe. Chapters, such as “The King’s Enemy,” “Counterfeits,” “The Sword,” “Captivity,” “The Surprise Judgment,” and “Restoration,” will excite and challenge every Bible student, regardless of their knowledge level. Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come. Absolutely nothing can stop it! What is contained in The Prophets of God will demonstrate again how “the pen is mightier than the sword.” Why now? Why this book? It is because it is the season for war. The time for the great battle prophesied at Jesus’ return will soon arrive. Before then, sides will be chosen; men and women will persuade their children and their friends as to whom they should believe. On the day of the Lord’s salvation, those with a future and a hope will all have one thing in common: They recognized, heard and followed The Prophets of God.

This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness is measured, we may ask, is there any man greater than he?’ – Lamartine, History of Turkey It is only lately that Western scholars have embarked on serious objective study of the life of the Prophet of Islam. In studying his life, certain factors must be kept in mind: Was the world in need of a universal divine personal message? Was the life of Muhammad, before he laid claim to prophethood, of such perfect purity as would indicate that he had been chosen? Was the message that he brought illustrated in his life and conduct? The purpose of this study is to institute an appraisal of the life of Muhammad which should be fully descriptive of its diverse facets and should enable the reader to carry out his own assessment of the man as an exemplary human being and as a divine prophet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the ages many kings and prophets have desired to see the things we see and they did not see them, we are the chosen generation. Many prophecies of scripture are being fulfilled before our eyes and there are many more that are about to come. The rebirth of the state of Israel and the return of the Jews to the Holy Land is prophesied more than any other event in scripture, it is a sign of the times. Theodor Herzl is considered to be the father of the modern state of Israel. In his book, “The Jewish State,” published 1896, it is said that as a child he saw King-Messiah in a dream, who said to him; “Go, declare to the Jews that I shall come soon and perform great wonders and great deeds for My people and for the whole world.” Theodor’s prophetic dream comes to life in the Biblical prophecies presented in this book. There is seen in the prophets a great and awesome SHOW of God’s mighty power that shall take place in the last days. It is a show of God’s power that is greater than anything He has done before, it is God’s Grand Finale! End Time events and the return of Christ will soon follow.
