Jesus and His Jewish Parables
Author: Brad YoungPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
"'Jesus and his Jewish Parables' presents a fresh approach to the gospel parables and their rabbinic counterparts. The author, Brad H. Young, demonstrates that the parables must be studied as a unique genre of teaching which is preserved only in rabbinic literature and in the gospels. He sets out to show a very close association between the teachings of Jesus and early Jewish pedagogical methods. In a radical new conclusion, Young maintains that the kingdom of heaven theme - so essential for a proper understanding of Jesus' message - is not an eschatological concept designed to forewarn of imminent catastrophe but rather a technical term Jesus employed to speak of God's reign as a present reality among those who have accepted the call to obey the divine will"--Page 4 of cover

The Buddhist Catechism & The Life of Buddha and Its Lessons
Author: Henry S. OlcottPublisher: e-artnow
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
The Buddhism Catechism by Olcott is a new, post-Enlightenment interpretation of Buddhist believes. Henry Olcott reviewed Buddhism from the point of view, following the strict rules of catechistic criticism established in orthodox Christianity. This book was a most significant contribution to the revival of Buddhism in Shri-Lanka and is still in use there today. The text of the book represents the central doctrines of Buddhism, including the life of Buddha, and how the message of Buddha correlates with modern society. It also contains the message of the Dharma and the role of the Sangha in the Buddhist teachings. The book is written in a simple manner, in the form of questions and answers, and became very popular in Sri Lanka and was an effective tool for the popularization of Buddhism.
