Download or read book Preaching after Easter Mid Pentecost Ascension and Pentecost in Late Antiquity written by Richard W. Bishop and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies collected in Preaching after Easter examine the festal history and homiletics of Mid-Pentecost, Ascension, and Pentecost in the late antique Mediterranean world. Articles on individual sermons or the work of individual preachers such as John Chrysostom, Augustine of Hippo, Peter Chrysologus, Leo the Great, and Severus of Antioch exhibit the richness of late antique festal preaching. Questions of authenticity, heresiology, and theological, exegetical, or liturgical history are addressed with methodological rigor. Complementary contributions that deal with ancient Jewish-Christian dialogue, art-historical reception, and contemporary liturgical theology illustrate the wide ramifications of ancient Christian festal practice. Students and scholars of these feasts and the interpretive traditions devoted to them will find this volume to be an indispensable source of information and analysis.
Download or read book Beyond Easter written by Betty Whitaker Jackson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-18 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of writings on the topic: Beyond Easter: Ascension and Pentecost. The season following Easter gets less attention than Easter, but really is a time when Jesus passionately taught the disciples with a sense of urgency, knowing that He would soon leave their presence and ascend to heaven. Forty days after the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ, Jesus ascended into heaven as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and He is seated at the right hand of Almighty God until He returns again to earth at the end of the age.On Pentecost, The Holy Spirit appeared to the disciples and others gathered in an upper room in Jerusalem. A strong wind occurred, and what appeared to be tongues of fire anointed them. They were empowered to accomplish many tasks to begin the work of the Church. Jerusalem residents and visitos from all over the world were amazed to hear the disciples able to tell of Jesus' life and resurrection in their own languages. On that day alone, over 3,000 people were baptized after hearing Peter preach. This book is based on the two events as part of a gallery exhibition at Covenant Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Palm Bay, Florida. Under the direction of Worship Leaders Paxson and Allison Jeancake, artists, musicians, and writers have created pieces in honor of Ascension and Pentecost under the title God Is With Us: The Ascension and Outpouring. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Faith Promise Ministry for Missions. This church has established over twenty new churches in the last five years around the world and locally. They are evidence of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you prepare for Pentecost? As followers of Christ, we are invited to become Easter people filled with the Holy Spirit. The Resurrection is the center of the Christian faith. Without it there would be no Christian story, Christian church, or Christian way of life. Did you know that the Christian calendar sets aside a season of 50 days between Easter and Pentecost? The Easter season, sometimes called Eastertide, includes our Lord's ascension and leads to the Day of Pentecost, when Christians remember the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Jesus' first followers. Have you ever taken 50 days to deliberately walk the path from Easter to Pentecost? Trevor Hudson writes, "If we are willing to take the time to pause, the season of Eastertide can become a time punctuated with precious moments of encounter with our risen Lord." Pauses for Pentecost offers 50 brief meditations that guide you to reflect on a biblical word and scripture passage, then do a simple daily practice. The daily practices do not take much time, and they are designed to let the new life of the Resurrection and the power of Pentecost flow into your life. Discover how to open your heart and mind more fully to the joy of Christ, the presence of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Download or read book The African Memory of Mark written by Thomas C. Oden and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2011-07-27 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We often regard the author of the Gospel of Mark as an obscure figure about whom we know little. Many would be surprised to learn how much fuller a picture of Mark exists within widespread African tradition, tradition that holds that Mark himself was from North Africa, that he founded the church in Alexandria, that he was an eyewitness to the Last Supper and Pentecost, that he was related not only to Barnabas but to Peter as well and accompanied him on many of his travels. In this provocative reassessment of early church tradition, Thomas C. Oden begins with the palette of New Testament evidence and adds to it the range of colors from traditional African sources, including synaxaries (compilations of short biographies of saints to be read on feast days), archaeological sites, non-Western historical documents and ancient churches. The result is a fresh and illuminating portrait of Mark, one that is deeply rooted in African memory and seldom viewed appreciatively in the West.
