Book Description
Contrary to what we might imagine from its title, the Epistle to the Hebrews is immersed in Hellenistic thought. Its author demonstrates an acquaintance with Greco-Roman rhetoric, and often supports his arguments with the assumptions of Hellenistic philosophy. While he shares the apocalyptic worldview of other Jews in this period, he recasts it with the language of Middle Platonism.

Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1512748110
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
The Anabaptist contribution to the Reformation is often overlooked or misrepresented in historical accounts. In this historical novel, the author attempts to give an accurate account of life for these people in the late 17th century. They are brought to life in the characters of Karl and Johanna, who along with their brethren are willing to suffer untold hardships to be faithful, biblical Christians. Karl was born into a life of privilege but found no real satisfaction in what he was being taught. What was there about these calm believers that would make them give up lands, positions, and even life itself to follow their religious persuasion? Can he find real peace, and will he make the sacrifice required of him?

Strangers in This World
Author: Hussam S. Timani
Publisher: Augsburg Fortress Publishers
ISBN: 1451472978
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Immigration is one of the most hotly debated topics today. But, the question involves more than politics and emotion; it includes such critical issues as law, justice, human rights, human dignity, and freedom. Strangers in This World is a collection that brings together an international consortium of scholars to reflect on the religious, political, anthropological, and social realities of immigration through the prism of the historical and theological resources, insights, and practices across an array of religious traditions. The volume, reflecting the diversity of religious cultures, is nevertheless unified in arguing that immigration is an important aspect of the major religions and is found at their core. The contributors unfold this important dimension of the religious traditions and explore the ways that the theme of immigration connects to vital points of theological reflection and practice in Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Native American religious traditions. At root, the volume is about our collective journey together as immigrant peoples who have stories and settlements to share, as well as challenges and struggles to overcome, that may be faced through the resources our many faiths offer.
