Download or read book Watching for the Parousia Were Jesus Apostles Confused written by Don K. Preston (D. Div.) and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Matthew 24:3, in response to Jesus' prediction of the coming destruction of Jerusalem, the disciples asked: "When shall these things be, and what shall be the sign of your coming and the end of the age." All futurist eschatologies hold that the disciples were confused and wrongly connected that impending Jewish catastrophe with Christ's coming at the "end of time"? But, what if the apostles were NOT confused? What if they were right to make that connection? What if the end of the age and Christ's coming were in fact inseparably linked in prophecy?In this examination of these probitive questions, prolific author, debater, lecturer, Don K. Preston sets out in this unprecedented book to show that it was not Jesus' apostles who were confused, but rather, futurist commentators! This is a ground breaking book. You will not find another book like it! But, the exegesis is rock solid, the logic is compelling, the evidence is powerful! This book may well change your entire view of eschatology!
Download or read book Paul and Jesus written by James D. Tabor and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “compulsively readable exploration of the tangled world of Christian origins” (Publishers Weekly), religious historian James Tabor illuminates the earliest years of Jesus’ teachings before Paul shaped them into the religion we know today. This fascinating examination of the earliest years of Christianity reveals how the man we call St. Paul shaped Christianity as we know it today. Historians know almost nothing about the two decades following the crucifixion of Jesus, when his followers regrouped and began to spread his message. During this time Paul joined the movement and began to preach to the gentiles. Using the oldest Christian documents that we have—the letters of Paul—as well as other early Christian sources, historian and scholar James Tabor reconstructs the origins of Christianity. Tabor shows how Paul separated himself from Peter and James to introduce his own version of Christianity, which would continue to develop independently of the message that Jesus, James, and Peter preached. Paul and Jesus illuminates the fascinating period of history when Christianity was born out of Judaism.

Book excerpt: Bart D. Ehrman, the New York Times bestselling author of Jesus, Interrupted and God’s Problem reveals which books in the Bible’s New Testament were not passed down by Jesus’s disciples, but were instead forged by other hands—and why this centuries-hidden scandal is far more significant than many scholars are willing to admit. A controversial work of historical reporting in the tradition of Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, and John Dominic Crossan, Ehrman’s Forged delivers a stunning explication of one of the most substantial—yet least discussed—problems confronting the world of biblical scholarship.

Download or read book How Jesus Became God written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime—and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself. How Jesus Became God tells the story of an idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first. A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman reveals how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty, Creator of all things. But how did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? In a book that took eight years to research and write, Ehrman sketches Jesus’s transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus’s followers had visions of him after his death—alive again—did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today. Written for secular historians of religion and believers alike, How Jesus Became God will engage anyone interested in the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God.

Download or read book The Kingdom That Never Came written by T.S. Moore and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2003-08-22 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom That Never Came offers a startling new look at Christian beginnings that is bound to stir up controversy and debate for years to come. Historians, philosophers, religious writers and cultural critics have never solved an age-old question: How could the radical, otherworldly vision of Jesus have been transformed into a world-historical drive into the earthly, temporal realm? The author argues that the answer to this question has been staring all of us in the face across a span of 2000 years, in the New Testament itself, for all to see, but it has remained buried in history. Christianity owes its very existence, as well as its drive for secular power on earth, to the failure of Jesus’ prediction of the coming of the Kingdom of God within the lifetime of his own generation. Christianity was essentially a rebound against this dead-end wall of failed prophecy, and the impetus of this great turn towards the realm of Caesar has carried down to our own day. This is the history of Christianity in a nutshell. Jesus’ apocalyptic delusion and Christianity’s ensuing rebound against this failed prophecy is the key for understanding the union of church and state and the struggle for religious freedom in the history of the West.
Download or read book Marrying and Giving in Marriage in the New Creation written by Don K Preston D DIV and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The critics of true preterism, the view that all prophecy was fulfilled at the end of the Old Covenant Age of Israel in AD 70, constantly appeal to Jesus' words that in "the age to come" there will be no marrying. They note that preterists are married. Thus, the resurrection and the age to come has not come! Sounds powerful, right? The trouble is, the argument turns back on those very critics and falsifies their eschatology! In this incredibly powerful book, prolific author Don K. Preston (D. Div.) addresses this argument head on, showing with solid exegesis and solid logic that the argument is based on false assumptions. Not only that, he shows that Postmillennial and Amillennial writers alike agree that were are now in "the age to come!" Thus, according to their own arguments, they should not be married! This is an un-precedented, powerful book that totally devastates the futurist view of "no marrying or giving in marriage"! There truly is not another book like it, anywhere!
