Download or read book Jesus written by Paul Johnson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-03-04 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author and acclaimed historian, a powerful portrayal of the life of Jesus Is Jesus relevant to us today? Few figures have had such an influence on history as Jesus of Nazareth. His teachings have inspired discussion, arguments, even war, and yet few have ever held forth as movingly on the need for peace, forgiveness, and mercy. Paul Johnson's brilliant reading offers readers a lively biography of the man who inspired one of the world's great religions and whose lessons still guide us in current times. Johnson's magisterial and revered book A History of Christianity is a masterpiece of historical writing on religion; and in his new book he returns to focus on a central figure in one of the world's dominant religions. Johnson's intelligent and conversational style, as well as his ability to distill complex subjects into succinct, highly readable works, make this book the ideal match of a major historian with a major subject. The result is an accessible biography and an insightful analysis of how Jesus is important in the present era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While on a spiritual retreat in France, I received an etheric download from my guides and an invitation to scribe a book whose subject crossed my mind like a banner at a football game. It was The Twenty-First-Century Gospel of Jesus Christ. Never having channeled or done any automatic writing, this was both shocking and exhilarating news, especially since I was a perpetual student of Christ’s teachings and mystical works everywhere. More importantly, it demonstrated the strong need for us all to invite ourselves back into the Gospels, renewing and reinvigorating their message as appropriate for our Twenty-First-Century living.
Download or read book The Kingdom of God in the 21St Century written by Ty Allen Ed. D and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kingdom of God is the called out people of God (Col. 1:1314) from the world of darkness as the spiritual family of Christ. The kingdom of God is bound up in the age of grace and truth and is the fulfillment of Gods promise to Abraham to bless all nations of people. The kingdom of God in prophecy started during the Roman rule (Dan. 2:44) with the Jews at Pentecost in Jerusalem (ca. 33 AD) and then to the Gentile world to include our present age. Jesus reigns as Lord and Christ over His church / the kingdom of God in the twenty-first century and continues to call people of every nation to walk with Him by faith, repentance, and baptism in His name until the consummation of all things and His second return. The Christian Age is the eschatology (Last Day events) of Jesuss reign under the leadership of the Holy Spirit through the preached Word. The salvation of the Gentile nations is the final work of God to restore what was lost in heaven through Satan and his angels (Rev. 12:710). When Jesus appears, his reign ends, and the spiritual family and the church of Christ / kingdom of God will go home.

Book excerpt: Every generation has reinvented Jesus to meet the needs of the times. This, according to teacher, author and columnist Rev.

Recognizing Jesus as a focal point for a discussion about values--and with evident love and respect--Shepherd affirms that it's time for our generation to create a more interactive version of Christ.
Download or read book Christ Actually written by James Carroll and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestselling and widely admired Catholic writer explores how we can retrieve transcendent faith in modern times Critically acclaimed and bestselling author James Carroll has explored every aspect of Christianity, faith, and Jesus Christ except this central one: What can we believe about—and how can we believe in—Jesus in the twenty-first century in light of the Holocaust and other atrocities of the twentieth century and the drift from religion that followed? What Carroll has discovered through decades of writing and lecturing is that he is far from alone in clinging to a received memory of Jesus that separates him from his crucial identity as a Jew, and therefore as a human. Yet if Jesus was not taken as divine, he would be of no interest to us. What can that mean now? Paradoxically, the key is his permanent Jewishness. No Christian himself, Jesus actually transcends Christianity. Drawing on both a wide range of scholarship as well as his own acute searching as a believer, Carroll takes a fresh look at the most familiar narratives of all—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Far from another book about the “historical Jesus,” he takes the challenges of science and contemporary philosophy seriously. He retrieves the power of Jesus’ profound ordinariness, as an answer to his own last question—what is the future of Jesus Christ?—as the key to a renewal of faith.
Download or read book Following Jesus in the 21st Century written by Prince Sylvester and published by S/leek .Inspiration. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Jesus in the 21st Century is not a Christian Book, it is a book for Believers-- people who believe in God and His Son, which is Jesus Christ. This is not a book for religious hypocrites. This is a book for spiritual creations who are having a worldly experience. To begin, we are living in a time where Christians have become modern day Pharisees and Sadducees. Who with their religious beliefs and politics of man have disconnected themselves from God and from His Principles. Furthermore, these hypocrites (Christians/Religious People) do not move with God. In fact, they move against God. By spreading hatred, judgment, and the condemning of people. These hypocrites turn their noses up to the less fortunate and create religious “clicks” that distances themselves from people who are different from them. Additionally, these hypocrites use the teachings of man to control the masses and to be worshipped by man. These hypocrites curse sinners and their enemies, while forgetting about their own sins and transgressions. God is in no way shape or form connected to any of theses people because their actions and heart is not Godly but religious. And God has never been for religion. He has always been for relationship. Moreover, Christians have conformed to the world and the world’s way of thinking. From work to wealth, from politics to authority, from education to skill, from decisions to circumstances, and from relationships to community. Christians have indeed lost their way. Therefore, I wrote this book so the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross would not be in vain. I wrote this book for people, not Christians, but for people who truly want to follow Jesus. For people who want to walk with Jesus and not against Him. For people who have the Mind of Christ. For people who have a heart for God and for God’s People. For people who want to receive every promise God gave to them (directly or indirectly). From the blessing to dominion, power, and authority over the world. This book, authorized by your Manufacturer (God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit), is the Owner’s Manual for Today’s Believers, i.e. Followers of Jesus. And so with this manual in combination with the Bible is your way of escape from religious views, politics of man, systematic oppression, cycles, and generational curses. Finally, in this manual you will obtain wisdom, knowledge, and understanding about everything you have inside of you in order to Follow Jesus in the 21st Century. Topics include, Connecting to God, Relationships with God and People, Discerning of Spirits, Spiritual and Natural Battles, The Word of God, The Blessing, The Holy Spirit, Faith, Work, Purpose, Money, Rest, Prophecy, Healing, Ministry, Prayer, Worship, Heaven, Angels, Demons, and more. It is time to get back to your original working order. It is time for a Jesus Reset, Prince Sylvester
Download or read book Being Christian in the Twenty First Century written by Sam Gould and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being Christian in the Twenty-first Century was written to help struggling and doubting Christians develop an understanding of Christianity that avoids literalism, creeds, and doctrines--all factors which seem to be driving people away from the church. The book is well suited for individual or group study, complete with a study guide and sample lesson plans. It responds to the call for theological reform advocated by many contemporary clergy and religious leaders. Being Christian does not restate orthodox positions or drift into fundamentalism or sentimentalism. Instead it draws from a broad base of historical, theological, archaeological, and sociological scholarship to place Scripture within its original context, yet present it within a perspective suitable for the twenty-first-century mind. Being Christian is scholarly, yet readable, interesting, and often provocative. One reviewer put it this way, "the book reminds me of a baseball pitcher with a long wind up and a hard fastball getting better in every inning." By building upon progressive thought available today and throughout history, it offers an important resource for Christians and would-be Christians seeking a more fulfilling and thoughtful faith journey.

Download or read book Jesus for the 21st Century written by Richard W. Luebbert and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JESUS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY THE UNIFIED GOSPEL Do you want Peace and Prosperity? Do you want Security and Happiness? Do you want Hope and Love? Readers of the 21st century are looking for such spiritual, social and cultural values in themselves, in other people and in a wide variety of other places. The Bible reveals truths about the values you may be seeking. The example of Jesus and his teachings in the gospels may provide the answers to many of your questions and problems. There are four gospels in the Bible, each telling the story of Jesus. Some episodes are included in each gospel which are omitted by one or more of the other three gospels. Some details included in one gospel are not found in the telling of the same episode in the other gospels. Therefore, this editor has sought to combine the four gospels with all the details and nuances of all four into a single narrative without adding to or omitting any event, dialogue or comment which the four evangelists wrote.
Download or read book Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time written by Marcus J. Borg and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many recent books on the historical Jesus, none has explored what the latest biblical scholarship means for personal faith. Now, in Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg addresses the yearnings of those who want a fully contemporary faith that welcomes rather than oppresses our critical intelligence and openness to the best of historical scholarship. Borg shows how a rigorous examination of historical findings can lead to a new faith in Christ, one that is critical and, at the same time, sustaining. "Believing in Jesus does not mean believing doctrines about him," Borg writes. "Rather, it means to give one's heart, one's self at its deepest level, to . . . the living Lord." Drawing on his own journey from a naive, unquestioning belief in Christ through collegiate skepticism to a mature and contemporary Christian faith, Borg illustrates how an understanding of the historical Jesus can actually lead to a more authentic Christian life—one not rooted in creeds or dogma, but in a life of spiritual challenge, compassion, and community. In straightforward, accessible prose, Borg looks at the major findings of modern Jesus scholarship from the perspective of faith, bringing alive the many levels of Jesus' character: spirit person, teacher of alternative wisdom, social prophet, and movement founder. He also reexamines the major stories of the Old Testament vital to an authentic understanding of Jesus, showing how an enriched understanding of these stories can uncover new truths and new pathways to faith. For questioning believers, doubters, and reluctant unbelievers alike, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time frees our understanding of Jesus' life and message from popular misconceptions and outlines the way to a sound and contemporary faith: "For ultimately, Jesus is not simply a figure of the past, but a figure of the present. Meeting that Jesus—the living one who comes to us even now—will be like meeting Jesus again for the first time."
