Philip: Apostle and Evangelist

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
This study investigates the history of the traditions that coalesced around the name Philip in the New Testament and other early Christian literature. It proposes that all of this material ultimately owes its genesis to one historical and literary figure, Philip the apostle. This proposition is explored through a wide-ranging examination of the evidence: Luke's redactional employment of traditional materials about Philip the apostle in Acts 8:4-25 and 8:26-40, the evidence of the canonical Gospels, the second-century perspective on Philip as an apostolic authority figure invoked to legitimate various Christian practices, Philip's apostolic authority in "gnostic" documents for the transmission of the revelatory teaching of Jesus, and the Acts of Philip as a witness to the formation of Christian culture in the earliest centuries. While historical issues are considered where possible, the focus is on the life of the traditions and their reception.

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
Author: Jean-Yves LeloupPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1594776415
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Restores to the forefront of the Christian tradition the importance of the divine feminine • The first complete English-language translation of the original Coptic Gospel of Mary, with line-by-line commentary • Reveals the eminence of the divine feminine in Christian thought • Offers a new perspective on the life of one of the most controversial figures in the Western spiritual tradition Perhaps no figure in biblical scholarship has been the subject of more controversy and debate than Mary Magdalene. Also known as Miriam of Magdala, Mary Magdalene was considered by the apostle John to be the founder of Christianity because she was the first witness to the Resurrection. In most theological studies she has been depicted as a reformed prostitute, the redeemed sinner who exemplifies Christ's mercy. Today's reader can ponder her role in the gospels of Philip, Thomas, Peter, and Bartholomew--the collection of what have come to be known as the Gnostic gospels rejected by the early Christian church. Mary's own gospel is among these, but until now it has remained unknown to the public at large. Orthodox theologian Jean-Yves Leloup's translation of the Gospel of Mary from the Coptic and his thorough and profound commentary on this text are presented here for the first time in English. The gospel text and the spiritual exegesis of Leloup together reveal unique teachings that emphasize the eminence of the divine feminine and an abiding love of nature over the dualistic and ascetic interpretations of Christianity presented elsewhere. What emerges from this important source text and commentary is a renewal of the sacred feminine in the Western spiritual tradition and a new vision for Christian thought and faith throughout the world.

Pages : 30
Book Description
The Wisdom of the Christ, also known as 'The Gospel of Philip' is one of the oldest known writings by a disciple of Christ. It is a text of the New Testament apocrypha, dated to around the 2nd century A.D. This spiritual treasure had been lost for over 1000 years until an Egyptian man discovered it buried in a cave near Nag Hammadi in 1945. It speaks extensively about the Kingdom of God the Father, which the disciple refers to as the Bridal Chamber. Throughout the text, two concepts are interwoven: the conjoining between man and woman and the highest Love for God. The former is considered as a prototype of the latter. This historical book shows the wisdom of Christianity in its original form. It is a definite must read!

Book Description
Excerpt from The Gospel of Paul: The Gospel of Jesus Have no doubt been largely determined by the writings of the Apostle Paul. The statements of the Saviour regard ing His own person and work, plain and pregnant as these are, run into a peculiar and definite mould when passing through the mind of Paul, and come forth stamped with his own individuality. In more recent times some critics have endeavoured to make out that the writings of the great Apostle set forth a different gospel from that contained in the sayings of Jesus as recorded in the Synoptic Gospels. We recognise the profound truth of Peter's words, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. But it does not follow that the same Spirit of Truth who spake in and through Jesus Christ (heb. Ii. Does not.
