Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary on the Hebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation, excerpted from the Fortress Commentary on the Bible: The New Testament, engages readers in the work of biblical interpretation. Contributors connect historical-critical analysis with sensitivity to current theological, cultural, and interpretive issues. Introductory articles describe the challenges of reading the New Testament in ancient and contemporary contexts, as well as exploring other themes ranging from the Jewish heritage of early Christianity to the contexts of diaspora. These are followed by the survey “Introduction to Hebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation.” Each chapter (Hebrews through Revelation) includes an introduction and commentary on the text through the lenses of three critical questions: The Text in Its Ancient Context. What did the text probably mean in its original historical and cultural context? The Text in the Interpretive Tradition. How have centuries of reading and interpreting shaped our understanding of the text? The Text in Contemporary Discussion. What are the unique challenges and interpretive questions that arise for readers and hearers of the text today? Hebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation introduces fresh perspectives and draws students, as well as preachers and interested readers, into the challenging work of interpretation.

Download or read book The Writings of John written by C. Marvin Pate and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings of John are some of the most foundational New Testament documents for today’s Christians. Most evangelical teaching about the life of Jesus begins with the Gospel of John, and Christian teaching on the end times relies heavily on the book of Revelation.Students, pastors, and lay learners need solid, up-to-date resources like this book to responsibly study and understand John’s writings. C. Marvin Pate addresses John’s writings according to their logical divisions: the Gospel of John, the Johannine Epistles, and Revelation. Each section includes a thorough introduction to relevant interpretive issues, including historical background, cultural setting, and theological context. Pate presents a two-fold historical setting for John’s gospel, encouraging readers to consider the text from the perspective of Jesus’ day and from John’s situation in Asia Minor sixty years later. He examines the Johannine epistles on issues like authorship, audience, and theological perspective. For the Apocalypse, Pate explores the challenges of John’s first readers, the nature of apocalyptic literature, and the Roman imperial cult, including as well an explanation of how the church has interpreted Revelation over the years. With its thorough discussion, textbook design and four-color interior, The Writings of John sets the standard for introductory texts on biblical books or collections.

Download or read book A Layman s Commentary written by John Devine and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world, it can be difficult to maintain your faith. Those seeking a greater understanding of the Bible have numerous excellent theological commentaries available to them, but due to volume and depth, many of these are out of reach of laypeople. Others lose contact with the Bible, because it no longer seems relevant to life. They use a superficial knowledge of science and evolution to exclude God and faith from their experiences. The Layman's Commentary: Volume 8?General Epistles presents a passage by passage explanation of the nine letters of the Bible to the early churches from general authors who were eyewitnesses or associates and spoke of their experience of Jesus. In this eighth volume, author John Devine explains the practical relevance of these documents as they relate to effective everyday living. He considers the relevance of creation and science, as well as God's moral standard which is of vital importance in modern society. These letters are shown to conform with the Gospels and the letters of Paul. Hebrews explains the connection of the Old Testament with the First Coming of Jesus. Revelation describes the fulfillment with the Second Coming of Jesus. God's plan for a relationship with the individual is explained with the means by which this was made possible by the death and resurrection of his Son. The notes confirm that science and faith are complementary in giving purpose and meaning to life. The expectation of eternal life is also assured.
