Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Download or read book 1 2 Peter and Jude written by Jonathan K. Dodson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions that help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” that highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” that show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” that identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on every page of the Bible. 1–2 Peter and Jude are letters written to churches experiencing various kinds of trials—false teachers, distorted views of the gospel, and harsh persecution. If 1 Peter exults, “Jesus will return!” and 2 Peter rebuffs the claim, “Jesus won’t return,” then Jude exhorts, “Jesus is just about here!” Together, these letters form a kind of manifesto of hope for living faithfully no matter how dark the times. This study highlights the importance of holding fast to the true gospel, living distinct, holy lives, and looking ahead to the return of Christ. Part of the Knowing the Bible series.
Download or read book Studies of the Letters of Peter written by Dennis Dinger and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first letter written by Peter focuses on persecution and suffering of God's people caused by sources outside the church. The second letter focuses on enticements by false prophets, false teachers, and deceivers from within the church. The sufferings about which Peter warned occur simply because believers represent Christ on earth! The enticements about which Peter warned produce negative results because believers are distracted and not focused on knowing God, Jesus, or God's Word! These are wonderful letters from an apostle of Jesus Christ who lived a long, productive Christian life, after having witnessed Jesus' 31/2 year ministry!
Download or read book Peter s Epistles Letters to the Scattered Saints written by John Hill and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It had been several years since Peter had delivered God's message at Pentecost. The audience had come from all over the world. There was nothing novel in the message ? it consisted of things any good Jewish person would have known from their childhood. The difference was that this message was accompanied by the power of God's Spirit. After our Lord's ascension into heaven (Acts 1.11), Peter labored for his Savior tirelessly to the point of death. He understood well the urgency of the times and he desired to pass that along to as many believers as possible. These two epistles show Peter's efforts in stirring up those who had been stirred up at Pentecost ? at the birth of the Body of Christ.
Download or read book They Were Eyewitnesses written by Nancy A. Almodovar and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many of today's Christians their go-to style of proclaiming the faith is to share their own experiences. While this may be a stepping stone to the conversation, we should not remain on our subjective and unprovable experiences. Rather, Christians should use the pattern set forth in the New Testament by the apostles and evangelists: the gospel of Jesus who died, was buried, and rose to life on the third day according to the Scriptures. In this book the sermons of the apostles and evangelists will be looked into to see how they both proclaimed and defended the Christian faith, giving all Christians the pattern to follow in their own opportunities to share the one true faith.
Download or read book Sacra Pagina 1 Peter Jude and 2 Peter written by Donald P. Senior and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crisis in the church is not a new phenomenon. In fact, the church has always been - and probably always will be - involved in some kind of crisis. Even in the apostolic period, which is regarded by many as the church's golden age, there were serious crises coming both from the outside, as in 1 Peter, and from the inside, as in Jude and 2 Peter. The three short New Testament letters treated in 1 Peter, Jude and 2 Peter illustrate the problems early Christians faced, as well as the rhetorical techniques and theological concepts with which they combated those problems. In the first part of this volume, Donald Senior views 1 Peter as written from Rome in Peter's name to several churches in northern Asia Minor - present-day Turkey - in the latter part of the first century C.E. The new Christians addressed in 1 Peter found themselves aliens and exiles in the wider Greco-Roman society and suffered a kind of social ostracism. But they are given a marvelous theological Vision of who they have become through their baptism and pastoral encouragement to stand firm. They are shown how to take a missionary stance toward the outside world by giving the witness of a holy and blameless life to offset the slander and ignorance of the non-Christian majority and possibly even to lead them to glorify God on the day of judgment. In the second part of this volume, Daniel Harrington interprets Jude and 2 Peter as confronting crises in the late first century that were perpetrated by Christian teachers who are described polemically as intruders in Jude and as false teachers in 2 Peter. In confronting the crises within their churches, the authors appeal frequently to the Old Testament and to early summaries of Christian faith. While Jude uses other Jewish traditions, 2 Peter includes most of the text of Jude as well as many distinctively Greek terms and concepts. It is clear that for the authors, despite their different social settings, what was at stake was the struggle for the faith. Daniel J. Harrington, SJ, is a professor of New Testament at Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and general editor of New Testament Abstracts. He is a past-president of the Catholic Biblical Association of American and the editor of the Sacra Pagina series. He also wrote The Gospel of Matthew in the Sacra Pagina series. Donald Senior, CP, is a professor of New Testament studies and president of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He was recently appointed by Pope John Paul II to the Pontifical Biblical Commission. General editor of The Bible Today, he also co-edited The Collegeville Pastoral Dictionary of the Bible and the 22-volume international commentary series New Testament Message, and he wrote the four-volume The Passion series published by The Liturgical Press.

Download or read book 1 and 2 Peter written by Dr Matthew O Sadiku and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every serious student of the Bible desires to understand the text, discover the biblical principles, and apply the truths to his or her life. This commentary is designed to help students, pastors, and Bible teachers understand 1 and 2 Peter in a simple manner. Working from the popular New International Version (NIV), the author provides helpful commentary on the text verse by verse. This verse-by-verse commentary is different from others in two respects. First, it is brief while some commentaries are unnecessarily wordy and verbose. Second, it is Pentecostal in outlook. This implies that we generally adhere to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and adopt a literalist approach to the interpretation of the Bible. The major aim of this commentary is to expose readers to 1 and 2 Peter. Life is tough and difficult in general. Unfortunately, many Christians have been taught that they should only experience joys of being God's saints. In 1 Peter, Peter writes primarily for the readers of the epistle to stand firm in the true grace of God in the face of persecution and suffering. In 2 Peter, Peter writes to warn Christians about false teachers and to urge them to grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
