Download or read book The Wisdom of Ben Sira written by Patrick William Skehan and published by Anchor Bible. This book was released on 1987 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wisdom of Ben Sira (Ecclesiasticus) contains the sayings of Ben Sira, arguably the last of Israel's wise men and its first professional scribe, whose world was defined and dominated by Greek ideas and ideals. This Hellenistic worldview challenged the adequacy of the religion passed down to the Palestinian Jews of the second century B.C.E. by their ancestors. Ben Sira's training in both Judaic and Hellenistic literary traditions prepared him to meet this challenge. He vigorously opposed any compromise of Jewish values; and his teachings bolstered the faith and confidence of his people. Through its elegant poetry and vehement exhortations, The Wisdom of Ben Sira exposes the ill effects of sinful behavior on one's health, status, and spiritual and material well-being. Ben Sira's rigorous code of moral behavior was the measure of Jewish faithfulness in an era of ethical and religious bankruptcy.

Download or read book Evil and the Devil written by Erkki Koskenniemi and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of evil has preoccupied world religions for centuries. The Old Testament contained no uniform dogma on evil powers, launching a fierce debate that has dominated theological and philosophical thought through the centuries to this day. Evil and the Devil brings together contributions from leading inter national scholars to chart that debate, tracing the history of evil from its origins in the Old Testament through early Judaism and the New Testament to the thought of Origen and one of the topic's most influential theologians, Augustine. What role did evil adopt in ancient Judaism? What impact did the association of miracles with demons have upon Matthew's Gospel? Evil and the Devil examines such questions, resulting in a fascinating and comprehensive exploration of portrayals of evil and its power and influence on religious thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «La via verso il futuro non è la secolarizzazione della Chiesa, ma la cristianizzazione del mondo! Questo è il nucleo del messaggio della passione, della morte e della risurrezione di Gesù Cristo, l'essenza della Buona Novella e la via della Chiesa: sulle tracce di Gesù percorriamo la via della sequela, che ci porta dalla passione, attraverso la Croce, alla risurrezione e alla vita eterna». Una via da percorrere con la gioia della fede, nella certezza che «il Venerdì Santo è temporaneo – la Pasqua invece è eterna». Per questo «la Chiesa seguirà sempre la via della sequela di Cristo, suo umile e umiliato Signore. Non si lascia indurre a prendere la strada larga che porta verso l'abisso. Lì, a che cosa servirebbe l'applauso delle folle e dei leader d'opinione onnipotenti?». Perché «soltanto nella Croce c'è Salvezza, nella Croce c'è Vita, nella Croce c'è Speranza».
