Willingness to Die and the Gift of Life
Author: Paul K.-K. Cho
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467465356
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
One particularly challenging aspect of the Hebrew Bible is its treatment of various forms of voluntary death: suicide, suicide attack, martyrdom, and self-sacrifice. How can people of faith make sense of the ways biblical literature at times valorizes these sensitive and painful topics? Willingness to Die and the Gift of Life surveys a diverse selection of Hebrew Bible narratives that feature characters who express a willingness to die, including Moses, Judah, Samson, Esther, Job, Daniel, and the “suffering servant” of Isaiah 53. The challenging truth uncovered is that the Hebrew Bible, while taking seriously the darker aspects of voluntary death, nevertheless time and again valorizes the willingness to die—particularly when it is for the sake of the group or in faithful commitment to God. Many biblical authors go so far as to suggest that death willingly embraced can unlock immense power: endowing the willing with the charism necessary to lead, opening the possibility of salvation, and even paving the way for resurrection into a new, more glorious life. Paul K.-K. Cho’s unflinching analysis raises and wrestles with provocative questions about religious extremism, violent terrorism, and suicidal ideation —all of which carry significant implications for the biblically grounded life of faith today. Cho carefully situates the surveyed texts in their original cultural context, discussing relevant topics such the shame and honor culture of ancient Israel and the importance attached to the group over the individual. Closing with an epilogue that reflects on the surprising issue of whether biblical authors considered God to be capable of dying or being willing to die, Cho’s fascinating study showcases the multifaceted relationship between death and life in the Hebrew Bible.

Marvellous Mothers’ Mentality, Methods & Tactics
Author: Rev. Emmanuel Oghene
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1984594214
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
Marvellous Mothers’ Mentality, Methods and Tactics outlines respectable mothers’ determination to add value to the lives of their child when no one else would. Any woman who conceives and bears a child that grow up to be a VIP is favoured by God of Israel the maker of the universe. Samuel’s mother, Hannah and Lemuel’s mother got God’s support to become the queen-mothers of their generation. They partnered with God to provide members of their generation. They offered prayers that God considered good enough to answer as they requested. Lois packaged her daughter, Eunice who in turn packaged her son, Timothy who became suitable to serve alongside Paul as apostle to the Gentiles. After Mary played her God-assigned role to conceive, bear and nurture Jesus into adulthood, she went a step further to urge Jesus to perform His miracle ever. John 2:1-11 can be said to mean that she gave Jesus the confidence to perform His first miracle.
