Book excerpt: Christianity has a history that extends back over two thousand years, and it has endured through many changes in the world. Yet today the contemporary Christian church is facing new problems. How can the church continue to endure in the face of today's unique pluralistic and postmodern challenges? Pure Christianity clearly analyzes distortions that occurred in the primitive early stages of Christianity, and it restores the true identity of the Christian religion for future generations. Author Sung-In Park deconstructs the distorted beliefs of Christianity, going on to reconstruct Christianity based on the life of Jesus; he also redefines the meaning of sin, the gospel, faith, salvation, and the end, based upon a historical Judeo-Christian context. Believers will learn how Christianity was rapidly universalized in the first century, and how this universalized church would affect the future of Christianity. The Christian church you know today is the universalized one--not the church Jesus Christ envisioned. Yet by understanding the true plan of God for the world in Jesus Christ, you can be prepared to evangelize this world, without threatening, in accordance with the divine will of God.

Download or read book Understanding End Times Prophecy written by Paul Benware and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.

Download or read book John's Gospel written by Lee Harmon and published by Langdon st Press. This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when you pull John's Gospel out from the shadow of the other three and give its author a voice of his own? What will John have to say? Matthew grew up under Roman oppression, living with the dream of a conquering Messiah arriving soon on the clouds. John the Apostle had promised this in a letter, the book of Revelation. However, as a adult fifteen years later, Matthew meets up with John and Hears another story, a different story-a story that must be told. John is dying, and wishes to dictate a new Gospel. A Gospel of universal love, returning once more to the inspired message of his beloved Teacher from so Many Years ago. The Bible, author Lee Harmon explains, is a collection of individual writings, compiled over a thousands years, with the author of each one expressing his unique opinion. Harmon reminds us that the book of John is the "one gospel claiming eyewitness testimony," and so if John seems to contradict the earlier gospels, perhaps that's because he is "determined to steer us in the proper direction."

Download or read book Pneuma and Realized Eschatology in the Book of Wisdom written by Matthew Edwards and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Wisdom's understanding of Israel's history, of contemporary politics and of the immortal fate of the persecuted sage can be understood to be part of one theological system. This system integrates texts and concepts from Jewish Wisdom, the biblical narratives of the patriarchs from Adam to Moses, eschatological hope and apocalyptic language, an understanding of the spirit of God in the enabling of prophets and leaders and, most distinctively, the Stoic concept of pneuma. This last concept unites the biblical resources and allows Wisdom, using eschatological language, to speak of the ordering of the cosmos for the judgement for the wicked and the exaltation of God's people in the present age.Matthew Edwards addresses first the question of the literary unity of Wisdom. This is followed by an examination of the differing uses of the term pneuma within Wisdom, that is as divine agent of salvation, the means of the ordering the cosmos and the substance from which souls are composed. The nature of personal salvation within Wisdom is also considered and shown to be an integral part of the understanding of the cosmos, ordered for judgement and exaltation. Finally, this notion of the ordering of the comos and history for God's people is discussed with its consequences for Jewish life under contemporary Hellenistic and Roman rule.
