A Doubter's Guide to Jesus
Author: John Dickson
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310571987
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Who was Jesus? Historical sources portray a person who was complex, multi-layered, and often contradictory to the tidy portrait that much of modern Christianity paints him as. Even the gospel accounts render him as both judge and healer, teacher and temple, servant and savior. A Doubter's Guide to Jesus is a persuasive and often challenging investigation into the historical figure found in the earliest sources. These sources, which include references both direct and indirect—from Roman, Jewish, and Christian accounts—offer us more than simple evidence that Jesus existed; they begin to form a picture that is both deeply credible and profoundly counterintuitive. Each chapter explores the evidence for a different aspect of the most influential figure in human history, exploring: His words and their impact. The scandal of his social life. His preference for the poor and lowly. The meaning of his death and influence of his promises. The goal is not to turn Jesus into something neater, more systematic and digestible; but to see him more clearly as someone who stretches our imaginations, confronts our beliefs, and challenges our lifestyles. After two millennia of spiritual devotion and more than two centuries of modern critical research, we still cannot fit Jesus into a box—and this is as challenging as it is deeply compelling.

The First Time We Saw Him
Author: Matt Mikalatos
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1441246320
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Scripture tells us that the words of Jesus made people uncomfortable, confused, angry, repentant, worshipful, and riotous. Today, we read the words of Christ in a steady, even tone and find ourselves wondering if maybe we're missing something. Could it be that we've lost the emotional power of Jesus's words simply because we're too familiar with them? With incredible insight into the surprising and unsettling aspects of Jesus's parables and life, Matt Mikalatos reimagines familiar stories and parables in a modern-day setting, bringing alive for the contemporary reader all the controversy and conflict inherent in the originals. These emotional, sometimes humorous, and jaw-dropping retellings include the stories of the prodigal son, the good Samaritan, the lost coin, the feeding of the 5,000, the death and resurrection of Jesus, and more, asking provocative questions like What would be the modern equivalent of Jesus letting a "sinful woman" wash his feet? Who would be the hero of "The Good Samaritan"? How would Jesus tell the parable of the lost sheep in a city like Portland?

The Holiness of God
Author: R.C. Sproul
Publisher: NavPress
ISBN: 1496437217
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

On This Rock I Will Build My Temple
Author: Larry Jiracek
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1635756014
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
Man's plans and God's plans seldom match up. Example: man wants to rebuild the original temple on the original site. One problem, something is occupying that location, only the second holiest site in the Muslim faith (Dome of the Rock). By using the fog of war, a top secret plan of the Israeli government can have this problem removed. Plus give them the ordained right to reconstruct the temple. Before this plan can be put in to action, several things need to line up. First, the temple cannot be constructed until the priesthood has been established. This would require someone to be selected as a high priest. Second, a large amount of gold will be required to reconstruct all the furnishings required to be placed in the temple. This amount is so far above what the Israeli government has. Third, will the construction of the temple be justification to start a third world war? The most important piece of all, to make the temple real, it needs to have the real Ark. Not just a wooden box resembling the description of the Ark. But it must be able to display the power that only the Ark can produce. The ending of the first book, the temple is built and the Ark is placed back in the Holy of Holies. But now God's plan as a few changes to make. "Return to My Mountain" is the command that the angel Metatron gives to the high priest. To return the Ark back to the sacred mountain in man's mind is a simple command. Now the rest the story, he must also bring twelve leaders of the major religions back to the mountain. Here, God will give them new and final laws to live by.

Jesus Said, "I Will Build My Church"
Author: Don Faix
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665539216
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 59
Book Description
Where is this church of power that we see in the Book of Acts? Where are the local bodies of believers that manifest the supernatural power of God today? Has the desire to preach the gospel and win souls all but disappeared from the local church? This intense and challenging book seeks to answer the simple question. “How did Jesus intend every local church to be built.” It will present the ten most basic principles in the building of every local church. After some 30 years of doing seminars on the ‘concept of build’ every church that received this teaching has admitted to applying less than two of these principles. As a result, many sitting in the church pews are just not saved. Further, there is a lack of discipleship to equip the saints to go forth and advance the kingdom of God. The hope of this book is to see a restoration of local churches. Churches that will turn from their traditions and man-made ways of growing a church to building a church that the Lord will take pleasure in and be glorified.

Disciples' Literal New Testament
Author: Michael Magill
Publisher: Reyma Publishing
ISBN: 9781937368036
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
If You Love God's Word You Will Love This New Testament! The Disciples' Literal New Testament sets you free from our artificial 460 year old chapter and verse structure, replacing it with paragraphing that reflects the flow of thought in the original Greek writings. Paragraph headings make that flow of thought explicit to you, speeding your understanding of the NT books. This translation retains the writing style of the apostles themselves, rather than transforming their Greek ways of writing into an elegant or contemporary English writing style, as has been beautifully done so many times. It is the same translation as the author's New Testament TransLine, first published by Zondervan in 2002. Now you can read the New Testament as the original writers intended it, and see it with a clarity formerly available only to those who could carefully study their Greek New Testament. You can even see the difference in writing style between Matthew, Mark and Luke! Used along with your standard Bible version, you will profit from both methods of translation. *Easily grasp the relationship of the whole and the parts of each book with the big-picture overview outlines that use the words of the original author. *Gain quick insight into the flow of thought from descriptive paragraph headings that summarize the main point of each paragraph in its context. *You can visually follow the apostles' thinking because the 'Intelligent Paragraphing' visually displays their main and subordinate thoughts. *The hindrance to your understanding caused by our artificial chapter and verse structure is eliminated by paragraphing based on the Greek writings. *You will more fully appreciate the minds and thinking patterns and intent of the original writers because the translation corresponds more closely to their words and their grammar and their sentence structure. *Deepen and expand your understanding of the New Testament by meditating on the notes containing alternative renderings, explanations of what is being said, and different views of the meaning.
