Download or read book The Revelatory Name of God written by James Hogsten and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Revelatory Name of God examines how God used his name as a form of self-discosure in the Old Testament. Originally, the revelation of God's proper name (YWHH) was bequeathed to the Nation of Israel just prior to their deliverance from Egyptian bondage (Exodus 3:13-15). Scripture clearly demonstrates the Nation of Israel treasured and used the name of God (YHWH). In fact, the name was liturgically placed upon them by the priesthood (Num. 6:22-27); thus, they were a people of the name. As great as the national revelation of God's name was--the Bible foretells of a universal revelation of God's name wherein the Gentiles become partakers of the benefits of the name of God. Yet, unlike the first revelation given through a burning bush--the Bible reveals God would personify His name in a human being prophetically known as The BRANCH. YHWH fulfilled this promise in the person and name of JESUS--the Branch who is both a genuine human and Yahweh manifest in flesh (Isa. 11:1-2, 10; Jer. 23:5-6). Jesus is not simply the name of a human being but is etymologically linked to the memorial name of Exodus 3:15. The early church recognized the memorial name of Exodus 3:15 was personified in the person and name of Jesus--the name encompassing and superseding the Tetragrammaton. I invite you to join me in a powerful study of the Name of God than can potentially change you life....It certainly did mine and I've never regretted it!
Download or read book Who Is God written by Richard Bauckham and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationally respected scholar Richard Bauckham offers a brief, engaging study of divine revelation in Scripture. He probes the deep meaning of well-known moments in the biblical story in order to address the key question the Bible is designed to answer: Who is God? Accessible for laypeople and important to scholars, this volume begins by exploring three key events in the Bible in which God is revealed: Jacob's dream at Bethel (the revelation of the divine presence), Moses at the burning bush (the revelation of the divine Name), and Moses on Mount Sinai (the revelation of the divine character). In each case, Bauckham traces these themes through the rest of Scripture. He then shows how the New Testament builds on the Old by exploring three revelatory events in Mark's Gospel, events that reveal the Trinity: Jesus's baptism, transfiguration, and crucifixion. This book is based on the Frumentius Lectures for 2015 at the Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology in Addis Ababa and on the Hayward Lectures for 2018 at Acadia Divinity College, Nova Scotia.

Download or read book The Names of God written by Herbert Chanan Brichto and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-04-09 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the sequel to the author's iconoclastic Toward a Grammar of Biblical Poetics (Oxford, 1992), in which Brichto argues for the aesthetic wholeness of the Hebrew Bible, and the consistency of Scripture's preachment on God, nature, and the human condition--in direct opposition to current source criticism, which maintains that inconsistencies within the text support an atomistic reading of multiple authors. In The Names of God, Brichto brings us his "poetic" reading of Scripture to the Book of Genesis. Using contemporary methods and insights of literary criticism, he examines one of the great inconsistencies within Genesis that have led to the supposition of multiple authors--the assortment of terms or names for the Deity, among them Yahweh and Elohim--and attempts to show the appropriateness of certain of these names to the stories in which they appear. He also looks at a variety of other data within Genesis such as genealogies, eponyms, and chronologies, and shows that their poetical function--their variety, ingenuity, and imaginative whimsy--is vital to the structure of the text as a whole. In finding a unity in this diversity of materials, Brichto makes a strong case for the text as the artistic achievement of a single author.

Download or read book The Name written by Mark Sameth and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The God of ancient Israel—universally referred to in the masculine today—was understood by its earliest worshipers to be a dual-gendered, male-female deity. So argues Mark Sameth in The Name. Needless to say, this is no small claim. Half the people on the planet are followers of one of the three Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—each of which has roots in the ancient cult that worshiped this deity. The author’s evidence, however, is compelling and his case meticulously constructed. The Hebrew name of God—YHWH—has not been uttered in public for over two thousand years. Some thought the lost pronunciation was “Jehovah” or “Yahweh.” But Sameth traces the name to the late Bronze Age and argues that it was expressed Hu-Hi—Hebrew for “He-She.” Among Jewish mystics, we learn, this has long been an open secret. What are the implications for us today if “he” was not God?
Download or read book God s Wider Presence written by Robert K. Johnston and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are we to make of those occasional yet illuminating experiences of God's presence that occur outside both church and Scripture? We may encounter God's revelatory presence as we experience a beautiful sunset, the birth of a child, or a work of art, music, or literature. While theologians have tended to describe such experiences abstractly as mere traces or echoes, those involved often recognize such moments of transcendence as transformative. Here senior theologian Robert Johnston explores how Christians should think theologically about God's wider revelatory presence that is mediated outside the church through creation, conscience, and culture. The book offers a robust, constructive biblical theology of general revelation, rooting its insights in the broader Trinitarian work of the Spirit. Drawing in part from the author's theological engagement with film and the arts, the book helps Christians understand personal moments of experiencing God's transcendence and accounts for revelatory experiences of those outside the believing community. It also shows how God's revelatory presence can impact our interaction with nonbelievers and those of other faiths.

Download or read book Interpretation of Tongues and Prophecy in 1 Corinthians 12 14 with a Pentecostal Hermeneutics written by Jeon Ahn Yongnan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing “spiritual experience” into the domain of biblical hermeneutics, this book will certainly stimulate current debates within this field, among both Pentecostals and Christians of other traditions. The author also applies a Pentecostal hermeneutical methodology to Paul’s teaching on tongues and prophecy in 1 Corinthians 12–14, opening possibilities to a Pentecostal pneumatology that tends instead to focus on the Lukan narrative. Paul’s texts are reconsidered not as doctrinal or situational documents but as dynamic communication within a living community.
