Book Description
This book, one of the doctrinal classics by Elder James A. Talmage, contains 104 essays by Elder Talmage on various gospel topics that are unique to Mormonism. Topics include the Articles of Faith, the Book of Mormon and the Bible, prophets, apostles, modern revelation, laws and the constitution, democracy, and the nature of God. Elder Talmage is widely recognized as a premier LDS scholar. His seminal work, Jesus the Christ, has been read by generations of missionaries and others seeking to learn more about the life of Christ and become His disciples. Jesus the Christ was first published in 1915, four years before this book. In addition to Jesus the Christ, Talmage is also the author of Articles of Faith, Articles of Faith, Great Apostasy, House of the Lord, Story and Philosophy of “Mormonism”, as well as hundreds of General Conference talks and articles for LDS Church publications. The writings of Elder Talmage are filled with faith and have the power to bring those who seek diligently closer to Jesus Christ. I hope that they will strengthen your faith as they have mine.
Misquoting Jesus
Author: Bart D. EhrmanPublisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061977020
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
When world-class biblical scholar Bart Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. In Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that ancient scribes made to the New Testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today. He frames his account with personal reflections on how his study of the Greek manuscripts made him abandon his once ultraconservative views of the Bible. Since the advent of the printing press and the accurate reproduction of texts, most people have assumed that when they read the New Testament they are reading an exact copy of Jesus's words or Saint Paul's writings. And yet, for almost fifteen hundred years these manuscripts were hand copied by scribes who were deeply influenced by the cultural, theological, and political disputes of their day. Both mistakes and intentional changes abound in the surviving manuscripts, making the original words difficult to reconstruct. For the first time, Ehrman reveals where and why these changes were made and how scholars go about reconstructing the original words of the New Testament as closely as possible. Ehrman makes the provocative case that many of our cherished biblical stories and widely held beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself stem from both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes -- alterations that dramatically affected all subsequent versions of the Bible.

Holistic Mission
Author: Brian WoolnoughPublisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1610970195
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Holistic mission, or integral mission, implies God is concerned with the whole person, the whole community: body, mind and spirit. Many Christians concentrate only on one aspect. This book reaffirms that to be true to the Bible, to follow the example of Jesus, the church must address the whole person in all their needs. It considers the meaning of the holistic gospel, how it has developed, and implications for the individual Christian, for the local church, for denominations and church groups, for missionary societies, for Christian NGOs, and for theological training institutions. It takes a global, eclectic approach, with 19 writers, church leaders, academics and practitioners, all of whom have much experience in, and commitment to, holistic mission. It addresses critically and honestly one of the most exciting, challenging, and important issues facing the church today. To be part of God's plan for God's people, the church must take holistic mission to the world.
