Download or read book He Gave Them Judges written by Luke Walker and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven elite warriors, seven foreshadows of Christ... Judges is action-packed, and among the most exciting books of the Bible to read. And yet, for all the well known characters and stories, much of its rich Christological nature is missed. But Christ is here, lurking in the shadows. This book takes up seven of the judges and explores their nature as types and shadows of the Lord Jesus Christ and his saving work. Endorsement from Dr. Richard Barcellos: "My friend Luke Walker has written a wonderful book for pastors and the people they lead, as well as for unbelievers. The subtitle, Jesus in the Book of Judges, tips readers as to the direction of the discussion. Walker finds aspects of our Lord's person and work prefigured in the persons and actions of the Judges, and I think he is right to do so. One of the many treats of this book is the vignettes into the hermeneutical method utilized throughout. Viewing the Old Testament as God preparing the world for the incarnation, sufferings, and glory of the Son of God, this book helps readers understand not only that God prepared the world for Christ but how. Historical figures and their acts often point beyond them to a much greater figure and his much greater acts. The historical figures and some of their acts pointing to the future find their terminus or target in our Lord Jesus Christ. Christ is the bull's eye of Holy Scripture, everything in it pointing to Him (the OT) or explaining the fact that He has come (the NT). The end of the biblical narrative is much better than its beginning and middle, but the end is hinted at all along the way in persons, places, institutions, and events. I highly recommend 'He Gave Them Judges.'" Richard C. Barcellos, Ph.D. Grace Reformed Baptist Church, Palmdale, CA Author of "Better than the Beginning: Creation in Biblical Perspective"

This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

Download or read book Judges A Narrative of God s Power written by Cyril J. Barber and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-10-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Judges deals with a people who lost their freedom--not all at once, but gradually. The Israelites were content to let the neighboring inhabitants of Canaan rule over them. Judges clearly describes the reasons for this spiritual, moral, and national decline. It began with compromise. The people's commitment to God's revealed will steadily decreased until it was no longer sufficient for the crises that arose. It was at this time that God placed tremendous responsibility in the hands of a chosen few. Judges, more than any other book of the Bible, illustrates the way the power of God is available to ordinary people to accomplish His purposes. These men and women learned through their experiences that to "those who have no might, he increases power" (Isaiah 40:29). This should inspire us with confidence, particularly as we read this book in light of the apostle Paul's words: "Not that we are competent in ourselves to reckon anything as from ourselves, but our competency is of God . . . in order that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us" (2 Corinthians 3:5; 4:7).

Download or read book From Creation to the Cross written by Albert H. Baylis and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Christians don't quite know what to do with the first half of the Bible. Some are fascinated by the historical sweep of the Old Testament. Others are blessed by its poetry. Still others focus on its prophecies. But what are the heart and soul of the Old Testament? In From Creation to the Cross, Al Baylis is a guide who shares with us his love for, and profound understanding of, the Old Testament. He walks us through the Old Testament, pointing out along the way perspectives and insights that leave us with a new, personal understanding of these thirty-nine books -- and more importantly, of the God of the Old Testament, who lovingly prepared the way before sending his Son. As Bruce Wilkinson puts it in the Foreword, "I could almost picture (Baylis) as a seasoned rabbi surrounded by a huddle of eager listeners. He doesn't simply teach the Old Testament; it's as if he personally reminisces through it." From Creation to the Cross is one of those rare books that speaks to a wide range of readers, from high school students to homemakers to college professors. This revised and expanded edition of On the Way to Jesus makes this unique and highly readable approach to the first half of the Bible available once again. It is ideally suited for use in Bible study groups.

Download or read book Christ In All The Scriptures written by A M Hodgkin and published by . This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to demonstrate that those references to Christ are found in all of the Sciptures. On the glorious resurrection morning Mary went to seek for Jesus. She sought Him in the tomb, but He stood beside her. She thought He was the gardener, but the one word "Mary " revealed to her her Saviour. As we read some passage in the Old Testament how often our eyes are holden, and we see only the earthly form: we see Aaron the priest, or David the shepherd, or Solomon the king; but if, like Mary, we are really seeking the Lord Jesus, He manifests Himself to us through the outward type, and we turn in glad surprise, and, looking up, say, " Rabboni " (lit. my great One). As we continue to seek, we find Him in the least expected places of the Old Testament, until the whole grows luminous with the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. "In the volume of the book it is written of Me." All the lines of history and type, of Psalm and prophecy, converge towards one centre Jesus Christ, and to one supreme event. His death on the Cross for our salvation. And from that centre again all the lines of history in the book of Acts, of experience in the Epistles, and of prophecy in Revelation radiate out once more to testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. After His resurrection our Lord not only "opened the Scriptures" to His disciples, but also "opened their under- standing that they might understand the Scriptures." He is ready to do the same for us. The same Holy Spirit who moved holy men of old to write the Scriptures, is close at hand to make the words life to our souls, by taking of the things of Christ and revealing them unto us. Of the books of the New Testament only a brief summary is here given, partly because they are so much more studied, partly because to treat of them at any adequate length would swell this book beyond the limits of a single volume, and still more because the chief aim of the present Studies is to show that Christ is the Key to the Old Testament Scriptures.
