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 Raised on the Third Day written by W. David Beck and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did Jesus rise from the dead? Is resurrection even possible? There are numerous historical and philosophical challenges to belief in Jesus' resurrection. For many, these questions are insurmountable. Raised on the Third Day approaches these questions with critical and believing eyes. Edited by W. David Beck and Michael R. Licona, Raised on the Third Day collects essays from prominent contributors in the fields of philosophy, history, and apologetics. Contributors--including J. P. Moreland, William Lane Craig, Craig A. Evans, Beth M. Sheppard, and Sean McDowell--evaluate scriptural, historical, moral, and apologetic issues related to Christ's death and resurrection. Essays on the Shroud of Turin and near-death experiences round out the volume. Inspired by the foundational work of Gary Habermas--arguably the greatest contemporary Christian thinker on the resurrection--these essays build upon his work and move the discussion forward. Readers will better appreciate how Habermas has shaped scholarship on Christ's resurrection and further areas for exploration and discussion.
Download or read book The Resurrection of Jesus written by Michael R Licona and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of the historicity of Jesus' resurrection has been repeatedly probed, investigated and debated. And the results have varied widely. Perhaps some now regard this issue as the burned-over district of New Testament scholarship. Could there be any new and promising approach to this problem? Yes, answers Michael Licona. And he convincingly points us to a significant deficiency in approaching this question: our historiographical orientation and practice. So he opens this study with an extensive consideration of historiography and the particular problem of investigating claims of miracles. This alone is a valuable contribution. But then Licona carefully applies his principles and methods to the question of Jesus' resurrection. In addition to determining and working from the most reliable sources and bedrock historical evidence, Licona critically weighs other prominent hypotheses. His own argument is a challenging and closely argued case for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ. Any future approaches to dealing with this 'prize puzzle' of New Testament study will need to be routed through The Resurrection of Jesus.
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 224 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 Raising Adam written by Gerrit Dawson and published by . This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to affirm that Jesus "descended into hell?" What actually happened to Jesus between Good Friday and Easter? Was this "descent" part of his suffering or part of his triumph? And why does it matter today?With a theologian's research, a pastor's heart and a poet's sensibility, Gerrit Dawson explores the answers given through the centuries to these questions. By using a narrative approach, Dawson achieves a unique synthesis of previously competing views. He shows that the ancient idea of the harrowing of hell, the Reformed view of "hell on the cross" and the 20th century recognition of the darkness of Holy Saturday can all work together. Far from being a discardable doctrine, the descent offers a unique window on the person and work of Christ, one we urgently need to open for the worship and mission of the Church today.

Download or read book The Apostles Creed written by Ben Myers and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2018-05-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Christian faith is mysterious not because it is so complicated but because it is so simple. A person does not start with baptism and then advance to higher mysteries. In baptism each believer already possesses the faith in its fullness. ... In the same way, it takes considerable effort to begin to comprehend all that we have received in Christ. Theological thinking does not add a single thing to what we have received. The inheritance remains the same whether we grasp its magnitude or not. But the better we grasp it, the happier we are. So this small book is an invitation to happiness. I have written it with a glad heart, and I hope it will be helpful for others who want to comprehend the mystery of faith in all its 'breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love Christ that surpasses knowledge' (Eph 3:18-19)."--Preface, pages xv-xvi

Book excerpt: IntroductionThis small book is dedicated to the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Alleluia! The Lord has truly risen! This book is divided into two parts. The first part is made up of many meditations, while the second part is a collection of Icons and paintings of various artist depiction of the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ. The first part can be used for quiet prayer and mediation, while the second part can be used as a pictorial reflection on the resurrection as well. Using both can be helpful and provide different ways to meditate on the Mystery of Christ Resurrection. My hope us that each of them will bring you closer to your love of Jesus Christ and the Mystery of his life.Mary, stood outside the tomb Weeping Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. We do not know how long Mary stood there, but we do know that she had something inside her that many of us long to have. Mary longed to be with the Lord. The scriptures tell us that "he will wipe away every tear from our eyes." This is literally what Jesus did when he appeared to Mary Magdalen. Jesus knows that our hearts are "restless until they rest in" Him. This restlessness faith often creates anxiety inout minds and hearts. St. Peter tells us to "cast all our burdens on him for he cares for us." This may be the same thing that the disciples talked about in those days after Jesus was buried and before he appeared again. They sensed deep in their souls the need for continued prayer, the need to share with one another, the need to strengthen one another. There is no doubt that the Mother of Jesus was with the other disciples and she was sharing her faith with them. It was during this time of Holy Saturday that the strength of the disciples faith was solidified. They came to realize exactly what they truly believed and what they had not taken to heart. I believe that Mary Magdalen had taken Jesus words to heart and this is the reason she was crying. She neither knew where Jesus was, nor where those who had taken Jesus was taken to. Mary Magdalen had all the reason to worry. She even told Jesus, when he first appeared to her (she didn't recognize Jesus at first), that she was crying because someone had taken Jesus and they didm't know where they and placed his body. It was at this point that Jesus called Mary's name, "Mary." And immediately, she knew it was "Rabboni", the teacher. We, too, while we are waiting for the Master outside the times of our own lives are approached by the same Lord of Life and Love. We are "weeping" in this valley of tears, and we know that there is a better place we belong. Jesus comes to us to console us in the power of his Spirit. He speaks our names and we are consoled again, we regain our hope and we know that "Rabboni," is present to us. At those intimate moments we have no courage to ask him "anymore questions." We know he is the answer to them all.
Download or read book The Third Day written by Donald A. Moss and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-01-21 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as Christ was raised from the dead on the third day, a powerful supernatural event is about to occur on the earth. From an obscure Old Testament prophecy comes the shocking prediction of an explosion of heavenly power that will bring healing and revival in a time period identified as the Third Day. Dr. Donald A. Moss takes you on a whirlwind journey into the realm of prophetic revelation to witness the coming in of an exciting, new spiritual order on the earth. You'll discover: * The "proceeding" Word of God * Why modern-day Apostles will soon appear * Why "celebrity" ministries will fade away * How 3 terrible "enemies" will soon arise from within the modern Church (you'll be given a psychospiritual profile of each enemy that will pinpoint who they are) * What is about to happen in the coming worldwide economic crisis and why it will actually aid the revival of the Third Day. * How a new order of unity will bring people of all races and backgrounds together * How you can live a "supernatural" lifestyle in the coming days "The Third Day presents intelligent evidence that a Divine flashpoint is drawing near. From the biblical perspective, a day is as a thousand years. Two thousand years or two days of grace have elapsed since the death and resurrection of Jesus. The third day or the third one thousand year period from the time of Christ will be a time of finishing grace when the Spirit of the Lord is poured out upon all flesh. It will be as the lightning comes out of the east and shines into the west to prepare believers for the coming of Christ in the clouds. The modern Church must shake the dust of its former understandings and acknowledge this awesome possibility." -Dr. Donald A. Moss
Download or read book Raised from the Dead According to Scripture written by Lidija Novakovic and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-05-29 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Testament writings allow only limited access to the interpretative traditions that lie beneath the claim that Jesus' resurrection took place according to Scripture. This book investigates the underlying principles of scriptural arguments in relation to Jesus' resurrection and the unstated interpretative moves that govern the selection and combination of texts relating to it. Novakovic's working hypothesis is that the Davidic tradition supplied the primary scriptural categories for the claim that Jesus was raised from the dead according to Scripture. This tradition was appropriated through two major thematic trajectories: resurrection as the fulfillment of Davidic promises and resurrection as the messianic enthronement. We can also identify several related thematic trajectories, such as the concept of the resurrection as the beginning of the new creation, resurrection as the prophetic authentication, and resurrection as the messianic rebuilding of the temple. Each thematic block is based on a specific use of Scripture for the purpose of explaining the significance of Jesus' resurrection.
