Download or read book Jesus Remembered written by James D. G. Dunn and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2003-07-29 with total page 1046 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Christianity in the making, James D.G. Dunn examines in depth the major factors that shaped first-generation Christianity and beyond, exploring the parting of the ways between Christianity and Judaism, the Hellenization of Christianity, and responses to Gnosticism. He mines all the first- and second-century sources, including the New Testament Gospels, New Testament apocrypha, and such church fathers as Ignatius, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus, showing how the Jesus tradition and the figures of James, Paul, Peter, and John were still esteemed influences but were also the subject of intense controversy as the early church wrestled with its evolving identity.

  • Author : E. Christopher Reyes
  • Publisher : Trafford Publishing
  • Release : 2014-08-15
  • ISBN : 1490743162
  • Pages : 567 pages

Download or read book In His Name written by E. Christopher Reyes and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One naturally assumes that when they listen to their Pastor, Reverend, or Priest, that they speak the truth, and takes for granted that when the Pope speaks, he also speaks the truth. Yet few Christians are conscious, much less concerned to hear about the truth, or of how they have been deceived for centuries, and betrayed again by their sacrosanct religious institutions bent upon enriching themselves by their ignorance of the faiths history and gullibility. This book deals with the truth, the truth, which many Christian sects do not wish to convey to their followers. For almost two thousand years Christians have maintained that Jesus was God incarnate, a sinless man, a man born of a virgin mother, a man who was the embodiment of perfection on earth, which is unflinchingly stated in their Christian Bibles, the New Testament, [Jesus] Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. ~I Peter 2:22, King James Authorized Version. Cf. Luke 2:48, Joseph is Jesus father (?). We are dying today from the fact of not having anyone who knows how to lay down his life for the Truth. ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J., quoted in The Jesuits: The Society of Jesus and the Betrayal of the Roman Catholic Church by Malachi Martin, author of Vatican and The Final Conclave, pg. 286, 1987.

  • Release : 2012-10-18
  • ISBN : 1621899519
  • Pages : 248 pages

Download or read book Martyr to the Truth written by Charles J.T. Talar and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-10-18 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his autobiography Joseph Turmel (1859-1943) has left an intensely personal account of his struggles to reconcile his Catholic faith with the results of historical-critical methods as those impacted biblical exegesis and the history of dogma. Having lost his faith in 1886, he chose to remain as a priest in the Church, even while he worked to undermine its teachings. He did so initially in writings published under his own name and, as his conclusions became increasingly radical, under a veritable team of pseudonyms. He was excommunicated in 1930. His account of his life is less a discussion and defense of his ideas than it is a moral justification of his conduct. Turmel is associated with the left wing of Roman Catholic Modernism along with Albert Houtin, Marcel Hebert, and Felix Sartiaux

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original, provocative and thoughtful series of readings of the New Testament and extra-biblical texts.

Book Miracles

  • Author : Luke Timothy Johnson
  • Publisher : Westminster John Knox Press
  • Release : 2018-07-24
  • ISBN : 1611648394
  • Pages : 392 pages

Download or read book Miracles written by Luke Timothy Johnson and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miracles are not confined to the stories of Scripture; these signs of God's presence and power in creation are experienced throughout our daily existence. Yet cultural challenges and modernity's skepticism have marginalized belief in them as unreasonable and irrational, says Luke Timothy Johnson. In this excellent resource for church professionals, Johnson reclaims Christian belief in miracles as integral to recovering a proper and strong sense of creation, recognizing the validity of personal experience and narrative and asserting the truth-telling quality of myth. His analysis includes: a description of the competing symbolic worldviews that have framed the discussion on miracles, including secular debates and theological imagination; interpretation of miracles consonant with the biblical construction of reality in the Old and New Testaments; suggestions for four areas in the church's life—teaching, preaching, prayer, and pastoral care—that can work together to shape a symbolic world, within which believers can expect, perceive, and celebrate the miracles in everyday life.

Book Redrawing the Boundaries

Download or read book Redrawing the Boundaries written by J. V. M. Sturdy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was the New Testament written in the early first century CE or at a much later date? Sturdy's work was conceived as a reply to John Robinson's Reading the New Testament, which dated the New Testament material very early. Sturdy argued that the Pauline letters are in places interpolated, Colossians, Ephesians and the Pastorals are pseudonymous, and that Luke and Acts are not by the same author. He believed that Matthew was the last Synoptic Gospel to be written, with John assigned to the period 140 CE. Redrawing the Boundaries offers a radical approach to New Testament Studies that stands in a long tradition of scholarship represented by the Tuebingen School in Germany.

Book New Testament Pattern

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jean-Louis Leuba
  • Publisher : James Clarke & Company
  • Release : 2022-11-24
  • ISBN : 0227178343
  • Pages : 116 pages

Download or read book New Testament Pattern written by Jean-Louis Leuba and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2022-11-24 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the nature of Christian unity? Is it Sacramental, Organic, Federal, Spiritual? These are questions that demand careful examination when different Christian traditions are drawing closer to one another in a common desire to heal the divisions that hinder the witness of the Church to the world. In any attempt to deal with these questions, full weight must be given to the evidence of the New Testament itself: what kind of unity does it reveal? In New Testament Pattern, Jean-Louis Leuba reveals a two-fold framework of unity in the New Testament. One strand - in its witness to Christ, to the Apostles and to the Church - emphasises the institutional, traditional and particular. The other strand emphasises the personal, dynamic and universal. Yet the two strands are actually one. Their unity is more comprehensive, more creative, than any undifferentiated unity could be, with important implications for ecumenism and broader scriptural study.
