Download or read book Visual Theology written by Tim Challies and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a visual culture. Today, people increasingly rely upon visuals to help them understand new and difficult concepts. The rise and stunning popularity of the Internet infographic has given us a new way in which to convey data, concepts and ideas. But the visual portrayal of truth is not a novel idea. Indeed, God himself used visuals to teach truth to his people. The tabernacle of the Old Testament was a visual representation of man's distance from God and God's condescension to his people. Each part of the tabernacle was meant to display something of man's treason against God and God's kind response. Likewise, the sacraments of the New Testament are visual representations of man's sin and God's response. Even the cross was both reality and a visual demonstration. As teachers and lovers of sound theology, Challies and Byers have a deep desire to convey the concepts and principles of systematic theology in a fresh, beautiful and informative way. In this book, they have made the deepest truths of the Bible accessible in a way that can be seen and understood by a visual generation.

Download or read book The School of Christ written by Theodore Austin-Sparks and published by Book Ministry. This book was released on 2011-09-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ministry contained in this little book has been wrought on the anvil of deep and drastic dealings of God with the vessel. It is not only doctrinal; it is experiential. Only those who really mean business with God will take the pains demanded to read it. For such, two words of advice may be helpful. Firstly, try to remember all through that the spoken form is retained. The messages were given in conference, and the reader must try to get into the spirit and mind of listening, and not only reading. In speaking, the messenger can see by the faces before him where repetition or reemphasis or fuller elucidation is called for. This explains much that would not be the character of a precisely literary production. It has its difficulties for readers, but it also has its values. Of all the books that have issued from this ministry, I regard this one as that which goes most deeply to the roots and foundations of our life in Christ with God. T.A-S.

Download or read book The Foolishness of Solomon Classic Reprint written by R. C. Trevelyan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foolishness of Solomon It was the month Bul of his reign's twelfth year. Already through all kingdoms far and near The rumour of his glory had gone forth, Of his might, wisdom, justice, wealth and worth. At length complete the Temple testified To its builder's sumptuous piety, and his pride. Yet large and generous, nor to be confined To one sole jealous worship was his mind. This the stern elders of good David's reign Viewing with grave surprise and righteous pain, Would oft wag ancient beards and murmuring nod, Because less perfect with the Lord his God Was the son's than the father's heart had been. For first to gratify his best-loved queen, The Pharaoh Shishak's daughter, at her prayer (who could deny a suppliant so fair? Not Solomon!) within the pleasure-house Which he had built for dalliance with his spouse, He bade construct a little private shrine To Theban Ammon, and that Bull divine, Memphian Apis, and around the cell Fair chambers, where their white-robed priests might dwell, An alien troupe, with shaven crown and chin, Oh scandal Nor yet ended there his sin. From Rabba with another gentle bride Came Milcom, the Ammonite infanticide. To Chemosh next, of deities most obscene, Moab's abomination, to the Queen Of Heaven, moon-crowned Sidonian Ashtoreth, Who for her lover Thammuz' wound and death Laments with annual passion each new Spring. To all these and many more the uxorious king Built altars and high-places, groves and shrines; Nor was there one of all his concubines, Even the meanest and the least esteemed, Who might not, in such privacy as beseemed, Freely adore the gods of her own land. Largeness of heart, yea even as the sand That is on the sea-shore, was Solomon's. Throned thus in pride he sat and gave response In subtle parable, or proverb terse, Clear or obscure, in prose or weightier verse To the wise men of every race and clime, Who to behold the wonder of their time, With problems and hard questions infinite In trial of his knowledge and his wit, Flocked to Jerusalem from far and near. Ethan the Ezrahite, Asaph the seer, The learned sons of Mahol, Heman named, Chalcol and Darda, throughout Israel famed For medical and astrologic lore, Agur and Lemuel, these and many more, Egyptian sorcerers, Babylonian mages, India's holiest, most emaciate sages, Their dark enigmas each in turn propounded, And each in turn withdrew, shamed and confounded By wisdom so much vaster than their own, That to its godlike glance all things unknown Or known on Earth, in Heaven or Hell concealed, Seemed the same instant naked and revealed. The crowd stood listening with amazement dumb, Or murmured with discreet admiring hum For never had they heard before that hour Even Solomon himself with such a power And plenitude of eloquence dispute, Nor with such subtlety and grace confute His interlocutors. Yet the crowd's applause, Though it might flatter, was not the sole cause Of so superb and brilliant a display.

Download or read book King Solomon written by Philip Graham Ryken and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the world's wisest king, Solomon's heart was led astray by temptations of wealth, sex, and power. And we face the same dangers today, though the temptations may be different in degree and detail. Author Philip Ryken writes, "In witnessing Solomon's moral triumphs and sinful failures we learn how to live more wisely. By the grace of God, we may avoid a tragic downfall of our own and learn how to use money, sex, and power for the glory of God." Tracing Solomon's life from coronation to burial—and from godly devotion to self-serving excess—Ryken shows readers how to avoid similar downfalls and seek God's glory amid earthly temptations. These thirteen chapters are pastoral, rich in application, and biblically faithful. This overview of Solomon's life also includes a study guide, making it a great resource for both personal and group use.

Download or read book The Glory Now Revealed written by Andrew M. Davis and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believers know that when we die we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing there? Won't it get boring at some point? According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God's glory. Not just his glory in the moment, but during all of time. The mysteries of providence, the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God's people will be unveiled so that we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be learning more about God's glory, inspiring us to return joyful praise and thanksgiving. If your vision of heaven has been limited to clouds and harps and angels, it's time to expand that view with the truth found in this biblically based look at the afterlife.

Download or read book Ancient Israel What Do We Know and How Do We Know It written by Lester L. Grabbe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ancient Israel Lester L. Grabbe sets out to summarize what we know through a survey of sources and how we know it by a discussion of methodology and by evaluating the evidence. The most basic question about the history of ancient Israel, how do we know what we know, leads to the fundamental questions of Grabbe's work: what are the sources for the history of Israel and how do we evaluate them? How do we make them 'speak' to us through the fog of centuries? Grabbe focuses on original sources, including inscriptions, papyri, and archaeology. He examines the problems involved in historical methodology and deals with the major issues surrounding the use of the biblical text when writing a history of this period. Ancient Israel provides an enlightening overview and critique of current scholarly debate. It can therefore serve as a 'handbook' or reference-point for those wanting a catalogue of original sources, scholarship, and secondary studies. Grabbe's clarity of style makes this book eminently accessible not only to students of biblical studies and ancient history but also to the interested lay reader. For this new edition the entire text has been reworked to take account of new archaeological discoveries and theories. There is a major expansion to include a comprehensive coverage of David and Solomon and more detailed information on specific kings of Israel throughout. Grabbe has also added material on the historicity of the Exodus, and provided a thorough update of the material on the later bronze age.

Download or read book How to be Wiser than King Solomon written by Stanford Erickson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How To Be Wiser Than Solomon is a biography of King Solomon. It teaches you to be wiser than Solomon. It also questions the wisdom of some modern scholars of archeology and Biblical scholars of the Old Testament, both learned Jewish scholars and learned Christian scholars. These scholars, most of whom contend that Solomon did not write Ecclesiastes, believe that the stories of David and Solomon in the Old Testament might have been a hoax by Levitical priests to maintain control over the Jewish people. How To Be Wiser Than Solomon explains that Ecclesiastes represents Solomon's wisdom "under the sun." My own poem Ecclesiastes: A Modern Sequel describes how to be wiser "above the sun." Finally, this book gives a unique insight into Solomon's classic Song of Solomon. Scholars find the poem confusing. Once you understand that Solomon abandoned his true love Abishag to marry Pharaoh's daughter, the poem on its simplest level is an account of Solomon's remorse for forsaking Abishag
