Download or read book Christian Mission written by Stanley E. Porter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did a first-generation Jewish messianic movement develop the momentum to become a dominant religious force in the Western world? The essays here first investigate the roots of God's mission and the mission of his people in the Old Testament and Second Temple Judaism, specifically in the Psalms, Isaiah, and Daniel. The contributions then discuss the mission of Jesus, and how it continued into the mission of the Twelve, other Jewish believers (in the Gospels, General Epistles, and Revelation), and finally into Paul's ministry to the Gentiles documented in the book of Acts and his epistles. These essays reach backward into the background of what was to become the Christian mission and forward through the New Testament to the continuing Christian mission and missions today.

Download or read book Repent and Turn to God written by Babu Immanuel and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For many years there has been ongoing work here on the book of Acts, looking into the narrative in its Greco-Roman and Jewish settings, and we greatly appreciate your contribution to this research. It leads the reader to a better understanding of the mindset of the period, while focusing on issues that are still fundamental for the Christian church today."--Dr. Elizabeth Magba, Librarian, Tyndale House, Cambridge, UK"The significance of conversion to the Acts of the Apostles is indisputable, so it is surprising that this motif historically has attracted so little scholarly attention. We can therefore celebrate all the more Babu Immanuel's joining the small but growing ranks of those who of late have turned their critical attention to this important literary and theological theme in Acts. Adopting a narrative-critical approach, Immanuel urges that, working in tandem, miraculous activity and missionary proclamation are effective means for effecting conversion of Jew and Gentile alike. The result is a welcome emphasis on the role of Luke not only as theologian or historian, but also, and centrally, as 'mission strategist.'"--Joel B. Green, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Fuller Theological Seminary
Download or read book The Speeches in Acts written by Marion L. Soards and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historical reappraisal of the Acts of the Apostles, written in narrative form, allows the reader to understand the biblical author's worldview, historical and ideological assumptions, and purposes as they were communicated through portions of this work. Marion Soards analyzes the speech texts by comparing them to writings from ancient history, rhetoric, and midrashic interpretation of scripture. He points out the interesting features in the speeches and highlights the thematic similarities. Soards provides a clear picture of the manner of writings in Acts, the theology, and the encompassing history of the early Christian period, and he supplies a sound basis for contemporary Jewish-Christian relations.

Download or read book Fill the Earth written by Matthew Newkirk and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does the church engage in missions? Where in the Bible do we find support for this work? These questions have been asked and answered by many throughout the centuries, though rarely does the investigation span across the entire canon of Scripture. In this study Newkirk explores the breadth and depth of biblical teaching concerning God’s mission for his people and the church’s call to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth. By beginning with creation and ending with new creation, this study reveals that rather than simply deriving from a few “missions verses,” the church’s call to missions is grounded in the full spectrum of biblical revelation.

Download or read book Paul s Pisidian Antioch Speech Acts 13 written by John Eifion Morgan-Wynne and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a review of scholarly work on the speeches in Acts, particularly Paul's Pisidian Antioch speech, Morgan-Wynne sets Paul's speech in the context of the first missionary journey and of the rest of Luke-Acts. In this book he analyzes the structure of the speech, asks whether Luke used sources for the speech, and examines the main theological themes, including the characterization of God and Jesus, the use of the OT, the place of Israel, and the portrait of Paul that emerges. Finally, the author looks at whether the speech sheds any light on the community for which Luke wrote and the problems which it may have been facing.
Download or read book The Characterization of God in Acts written by Ling Cheng and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the plot-oriented nature of the Acts narrative, a key thought behind this book is how God is revealed in the deployment of characters and events. God's supreme saving will and mission plan determine the development of human history as well as the narrative; God's sovereign authority and power governs the movement of characters and the development of events and thus assures the fulfilment of his salvific plan. From the carrying out of the divine redemptive plan emerges a God who is invisible-yet-perceivable, dominant-yet-cogent, and continuous-yet-changing.
