Book Description
Revelation is a closed and unapproachable part of Holy Scripture for many people. It is written in strange symbols and has been abused by many interpreters. The Lamb and His Enemies is an attempt to get serious Bible students into the pages of this beautiful book. Revelation need not be avoided. It is, as the first chapter of this volume insists, a book to be understood. Rubel Shelly has studied and taught the Apocalypse for years. This book is the result of that experience with Revelation and has been written at the urging of those who have been helped by his approach to the capstone of the Word of God. Dr. Rubel Shelly is an author, minister, and the former president of Rochester College. He served as Senior Minister for the Woodmont Hills church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee from 1978 until 2005. He was named the president of Rochester College in May 2009 and currently serves as a co-minister for the Bristol Road Church of Christ in Flint, Michigan. Rubel has also authored many books, including Book-by-Book Study of the Bible.

Book Description
In this distinctive approach to the Gospels, Robert Beck shows how each of the individual evangelists communicates his message about Jesus through the narrative structure of each gospel, specifically, how each gospel deals with conflict between Jesus and his enemies and how this conflict is resolved. He offers an important way to discover how the Bible, and the gospels in particular, treat issues of violence, force, and coercion.

Book Description
The acclaimed Bible scholar and author of The Historical Jesus and God & Empire—“the greatest New Testament scholar of our generation” (John Shelby Spong) —grapples with Scripture’s two conflicting visions of Jesus and God, one of a loving God, and one of a vengeful God, and explains how Christians can better understand these passages in a way that enriches their faith. Many portions of the New Testament, introduce a compassionate Jesus who turns the other cheek, loves his enemies, and shows grace to all. But the Jesus we find in Revelation and some portions of the Gospels leads an army of angels bent on earthly destruction. Which is the true revelation of the Messiah—and how can both be in the same Bible? How to Read the Bible and Still be a Christian explores this question and offers guidance for the faithful conflicted over which version of the Lord to worship. John Dominic Crossan reconciles these contrasting views, revealing how different writers of the books of the Bible not only possessed different visions of God but also different purposes for writing. Often these books are explicitly competing against another, opposing vision of God from the Bible itself. Crossan explains how to navigate this debate and offers what he believes is the best central thread to what the Bible is all about. He challenges Christians to fully participate in this dialogue, thereby shaping their faith by reading deeply, reflectively, and in community with others who share their uncertainty. Only then, he advises, will Christians be able to read and understand the Bible without losing their faith.

Book Description
This sensational book written by Carl Brice will edify your spirit concerning the will of God. The Bible teaches us that we are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Therefore, through knowledge and faith in the risen Savior, you can be certain that your name will appear in the Lamb’s Book of Life. This wealth of information compiled together is designed to draw souls closer to God. Our Heavenly Father demonstrated great love for his creation when he gave his only begotten Son Jesus to be a living sacrifice for a sinful world. There is no other form of worship known to man that imparts this type of unconditional love. Therefore, we should be extremely grateful for the priceless gift of salvation God has given us. The Lamb’s Book of Life contains the necessary information which will illuminate the path to eternal life in Christ Jesus. To the one who accepts the redemption of the Lord, the same will find their name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. www.EdifyYourSpirit.com
Author: George Kalantzis Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers ISBN: 1621894487 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 236
Book Description
Through the available patristic writings Caesar and the Lamb focuses on the attitudes of the earliest Christians on war and military service. Kalantzis not only provides the reader with many new translations of pre-Constantinian texts, he also tells the story of the struggle of the earliest Church, the communities of Christ at the margins of power and society, to bear witness to the nations that enveloped them as they transformed the dominant narratives of citizenship, loyalty, freedom, power, and control. Although Kalantzis examines writings on war and military service in the first three centuries of the Christian Church in an organized manner, the ways earliest Christians thought of themselves and the state are not presented here through the lens of antiquarian curiosity. With theological sensitivity and historical acumen this companion leads the reader into the world in which Christianity arose and asks questions of the past that help us understand the early character of the Christian faith with the hope that such an enterprise will also help us evaluate its expression in our own time.
