Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first 44 years of my life were spent without truly knowing God or what the Bible said about Him. I thought I was a good Christian simply because I attended church on a somewhat regular basis. It took a life changing event for me to recognize that I was just playing church and I was not saved. When I focus on me, Jesus I cannot see; When I focus on Jesus, I see a new me. "And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." Revelation 21:6"

Download or read book The Reformation of the Bible written by Professor Jaroslav Pelikan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is equally true that the Reformation was inspired and defined by the Bible and that the Bible was reshaped by the intellectual, political, and cultural forces of the Reformation. In this book, a distinguished scholar--whose contributions to the field of religious studies have won him wide renown--explores this relationship, examining both the role of the Bible in the Reformation and the effect of the Reformation on the text of the Bible, Biblical studies, preaching and exegesis, and European culture in general. Jaroslav Pelikan begins by discussing the philological foundations of the "reformation" of the Biblical text, focusing on the revival of Greek and Hebrew language study and the important contributions to textual criticism by humanist scholars. He then examines the changing patterns of interpretation and communication of the Biblical text, the proliferation of vernacular versions of scripture and their impact on various national cultures, and the impact of the Reformation Bible on art, music, and literature of the period. The book is richly illustrated with examples of early printed editions of Bibles, commentaries, sermons, vernacular translations, and other works with Biblical themes, all of which are identified and discussed. The book serves as the catalog for a major exhibition of early Bibles and Reformation texts that has been organized at Bridwell Library, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, and will also be shown at the Yale Center for British Art, the Houghton Library and the Widener Library at Harvard University, and the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived, they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. --Acts 4:13 I am not a theologian. I don't have a college degree, sorry. I'm a high school graduate and didn't go to college but would have gone if I could have afforded it. I became a born-again Christian at twenty-two. From reading the Bible from beginning to end, and walking around New Brunswick, Canada, God took me into the wilderness. This book has a list of things that I've taken from the Bible and applied. I made the list to remind myself daily what I should want to do. So this is purely for me and from me. This doesn't mean you have to change your list, but as time goes on, you'll refine it for yourself. I feel that it is a good template either way. These are the things I want to do every day, and there is a small list of things not to do. I suggest you make your own list of the things you want to do or copy mine into a small notebook so you can read them every day. Definitely make one of your own lists of what not to do. My don'ts and your don'ts may not be completely different, but there will be some differences. This book is, above all, about praying to God about everything, reading the Bible, getting closer to him, and being in his will. I believe we, as born-again Christians, are here for the Lord to do work through us and to do his will.

In our everyday lives, says Bruce Shelley, theology is nothing more than the beliefs Christians use to describe truth. It's necessary, important and accessible to all of us. To prove his point, the popular author of Christian History in Plain Language lays out the basic beliefs of our faith in an appealing, conversational style. "Throughout these chapters," Shelley says, "I have tried to imagine a long walk with a friend, new Christian or non-Christian, who jas just asked me, 'What do you mean by the Christian faith?' " Here is the answer, including the Garden and the Fall, the cross, God the Trinity and the mystery of suffering in our world. At the end of this "walk," you will know for certain: This is an extraordinary book for ordinary people.

Download or read book Authorized written by Mark Ward and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The King James Version has shaped the church, our worship, and our mother tongue for over 400 years. But what should we do with it today? The KJV beautifully rendered the Scriptures into the language of turn-of-the-seventeenth-century England. Even today the King James is the most widely read Bible in the United States. The rich cadence of its Elizabethan English is recognized even by non-Christians. But English has changed a great deal over the last 400 years—and in subtle ways that very few modern readers will recognize. In Authorized Mark L. Ward, Jr. shows what exclusive readers of the KJV are missing as they read God's word.#In their introduction to the King James Bible, the translators tell us that Christians must "heare CHRIST speaking unto them in their mother tongue." In Authorized Mark Ward builds a case for the KJV translators' view that English Bible translations should be readable by what they called "the very vulgar"—and what we would call "the man on the street."
