He outlines the principles of Bible study that will help you understand God’s Word, apply it, and communicate it clearly to those around you.

Download or read book Search the Scriptures Vol IV written by Benjamin Baruch and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-21 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Search the Scriptures, Volume IV I AM the Door The Lord Jesus Christ has called us to His kingdom and unto His throne, but we must respond in righteousness if we hope to ever enter in. We must also enter through the door which he has provided, for there is only one name whereby we may be saved, and there is only one door that leads to eternal life, and every other way leads only to eternal ruin. Jesus warned us many would seek to enter the Kingdom through a wide road, only to discover in the end, they will not be allowed. He admonished his followers: "Enter ye in through the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in that way; because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it." Matthew 7:13-14 Volume Four: I AM the Door was written to encourage and strengthen the remnant of God, and also to warn the apostate ones of the wrath which is soon to be revealed. The Door of Salvation is the Gate of Righteousness in Holy Scripture. "This is the gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter. This is the stone which the builders rejected, now it has become the chief cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing; and it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: for we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. God is the Lord, who has shown us this light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. Give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endures forever. Psalm 118:19-29

Download or read book Women Preachers and Prophets through Two Millennia of Christianity written by Beverly Mayne Kienzle and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly two millennia, despite repeated prohibitions, Christian women have preached. Some have preached in official settings; others have found alternative routes for expression. Prophecy, teaching, writing, and song have all filled a broad definition of preaching. This anthology, with essays by an international group of scholars from several disciplines, investigates the diverse voices of Christian women who claimed the authority to preach and prophesy. The contributors examine the centuries of arguments, grounded in Pauline injunctions, against women's public speech and the different ways women from the early years of the church through the twentieth century have nonetheless exercised religious leadership in their communities. Some of them based their authority solely on divine inspiration; others were authorized by independent-minded communities; a few were even recognized by the church hierarchy. With its lively accounts of women preachers and prophets in the Christian tradition, this exceptionally well-documented collection will interest scholars and general readers alike.
Download or read book Significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Essays written by Jonathan S. Nkhoma and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Nkhoma, in this scholarly collection of essays, enriches the reader with different interesting windows on how one can unearth the riches contained in some of the New Testament writings. The first two essays underscore the importance of placing the New Testament in a proper context and attempt to construct this context by discussing the historical background and the theological understanding of the Qumran Covenanters as derived from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Jonathan Nkhoma treats many aspects touching the proper interpretation of the New Testament writings. For example, he shows how the sacramental rituals of washing and eating together in the Qumran Community add meaning to the same rituals carried over to the New Testament. The significance of table fellowship is treated in greater depth in a subsequent essay. Throughout the various essays the question of the historicity of the various texts is treated in a succinct way and the author is able to come to some helpful conclusions drawing on the previous work of many well know scholars. The later essays tackle the very difficult question of martyrdom and Jonathan Nkhoma delves into the history of two particular cases in order to shed light on this difficult subject. All essays are written in impeccable English which flows in an easy style. This collection of essays would be invaluable to anyone who would wish to make a serious study of the New Testament writings.
