Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Download or read book The Anointed One written by Jon Ralston and published by Anthony Curtis. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenny Guinn was elected the governor of Nevada in a 1998 landslide. But the outcome was determined long before a single voter stepped into a polling booth. Nevada's foremost political reporter, Jon Ralston, argues that the power and money of the casino industry, combined with the behind-the-scenes string-pulling of a powerful and ruthless cabal of political insiders, render important Nevada elections a mere formality. Guinn had never before been on a ballot. But he had cultivated the right friends, served on the right boards, and paid decades worth of political dues. Thus, when he decided to call in his markers, the powers that anoint paid off.

Download or read book The Meaning of Mary Magdalene written by Cynthia Bourgeault and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Magdalene is one of the most influential symbols in the history of Christianity—yet, if you look in the Bible, you’ll find only a handful of verses that speak of her. How did she become such a compelling saint in the face of such paltry evidence? In her effort to answer that question, Cynthia Bourgeault examines the Bible, church tradition, art, legend, and newly discovered texts to see what’s there. She then applies her own reasoning and intuition, informed by the wisdom of the ages-old Christian contemplative tradition. What emerges is a radical view of Mary Magdalene as Jesus’s most important disciple, the one he considered to understand his teaching best. That teaching was characterized by a nondualistic approach to the world and by a deep understanding of the value of the feminine. Cynthia shows how an understanding of Mary Magdalene can revitalize contemporary Christianity, how Christians and others can, through her, find their way to Jesus’s original teachings and apply them to their modern lives.

Download or read book The Anointed written by Randall J. Stephens and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-09 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American evangelicalism often appears as a politically monolithic, textbook red-state fundamentalism that elected George W. Bush, opposes gay marriage, abortion, and evolution, and promotes apathy about global warming. Prominent public figures hold forth on these topics, speaking with great authority for millions of followers. Authors Stephens and Giberson, with roots in the evangelical tradition, argue that this popular impression understates the diversity within evangelicalism—an often insular world where serious disagreements are invisible to secular and religiously liberal media consumers. Yet, in the face of this diversity, why do so many people follow leaders with dubious credentials when they have other options? Why do tens of millions of Americans prefer to get their science from Ken Ham, founder of the creationist Answers in Genesis, who has no scientific expertise, rather than from his fellow evangelical Francis Collins, current Director of the National Institutes of Health? Exploring intellectual authority within evangelicalism, the authors reveal how America’s populist ideals, anti-intellectualism, and religious free market, along with the concept of anointing—being chosen by God to speak for him like the biblical prophets—established a conservative evangelical leadership isolated from the world of secular arts and sciences. Today, charismatic and media-savvy creationists, historians, psychologists, and biblical exegetes continue to receive more funding and airtime than their more qualified counterparts. Though a growing minority of evangelicals engage with contemporary scholarship, the community’s authority structure still encourages the “anointed” to assume positions of leadership.

Download or read book The Gospel of Mark written by Ben Witherington and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2001-01-08 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first sustained attempt to read the Gospel of Mark both as an ancient biography and as a form of ancient rhetoric. Ben Witherington applies to Mark the socio-rhetorical approach for which he is well known, opening a fresh new perspective on the earliest Gospel. Written when the fledging Christian faith was experiencing a major crisis during the Jewish war, Mark provides us with the first window on how the life and teachings of Jesus were presented to a largely non-Jewish audience. According to Witherington, the structure of Mark demonstrates that this Gospel is biographically focused on the identity of Jesus and the importance of knowing who he is--the Christ, the Son of God. This finding reveals that Christology stood at the heart of the earliest Christians' faith. It also shows how important it was to these earliest Christians to persuade others about the nature of Jesus, both as a historical figure and as the Savior of the world.

Download or read book Donald J Trump Anointed by God written by I. M. Probulos and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short story, at 130 pages, includes my three favorite topics: Damnation by Probability, religion, and of course, the anointed one--Donald J. Trump. My recommendation is to set off a few hours and go someplace quiet, with no distractions, so you can immerse yourself in this world-changing event I've created. It is not told with fictional characters but with current politicians, celebrities, and news anchors. This is a work of satire, parody, and fiction. Yes, Jesus Christ returns, in all His resplendent glory, and Donald J. Trump is anointed. It is Judgment Day. It's fast-paced, crazy, and funny. It does not take itself too seriously, but with over 110 actual Bible quotes, it will surprise, amuse, and hopefully educate. I'm not aware of anything quite like it-anywhere--ever. If anything, it reads like an episode of South Park (Trey and Mat--call me...). Or something Seth McFarlane would do (Sorry Seth, about the hell thing...I asked myself, "What would Jesus do?") All characterizations are parodies of actual people. It is a work of fiction. None of this has happened or will happen (What did you say? A golden chariot just landed in Times Square? Did you say right-winged horses? What does that even mean? I'm outa here...) The slant is definitely satirical, irreverent, and all are skewered in my Judgment tale: conservative and liberal, Republican and Democrat, religious and irreligious, rich and poor. There is a lot of political humor. Conservatives will cheer as the godless liberals get their just reward, but as our story progresses, it becomes clear that no one will escape judgment. Sinners will be sent to hell. A lot of sinners. A whole lot of sinners. Trust me, it's not pretty. It is The Second Coming. It is black humor, dark, biting, controversial, and sometimes hysterical. And, being sinners, there are a few F-bombs in our R-rated tale. So if you are easily offended, I would pass on this. Look inside or download a sample of the Kindle version. How would the personalities of today react to this world-changing event? Would they consider it "fake news?" Would they reject it as a hoax? Would they shoot the UAP out of the sky? How exactly would that play out? Instead of interpreting the Bible, as most do, we assume everything in the Old and New Testament is the Word of God and true. As Jesus says, "It is as it is written." Read the book to the end before you comment as it goes through several "phases" and you may not get the point (or humor) until the very last chapter. Also, no spoilers, please! If you like the book, please recommend it to your friends and leave a comment. If you have any comments you can contact me at my website: improbulos.com.
