Описание: In 1804 Thomas Jefferson decided to study the gospels to see if he could distill the essence of Jesus' teachings into a concise book that could be quickly read and easily understood. This volume is the result, offering valuable insights into the teachings of Jesus Christ and into the mind and beliefs of Thomas Jefferson.
There is now a substantial scholarly consensus for the emergence of a high or divine Christology very early and from a Jewish context, but the questions of "how" and "why" need further study. Within the framework of traditional Jewish monotheism, Paul and other early Christians used the language of deity to describe Jesus. To investigate their view of Jesus, the author examines Paul's discourse in 2 Cor 3:16-4:6, employing insights from rhetorical criticism and Oneness Pentecostal Christology. He explains how early Christians proclaimed the deity of Jesus within their monotheistic Jewish context. He then identifies socio-rhetorical reasons for and practical consequences of the monotheistic deification of Jesus.
"The status quaestionis established by the likes of Bauckham, Hurtado, and Dunn among others may be taken for granted by those working in the field of biblical studies but their reception by Oneness scholars is sure to demand rethinking of the paradigmatic Nicene tradition and its interpretive assumptions that will have reverberations not only for the next generation of theologians but also for anyone interested in the christologies of the earliest followers of Jesus the Messiah. Kudos to David Bernard for his encyclopedic research, cogent analyses, and painstaking and measured argumentation that marks the emerging maturation of the Oneness Pentecostal academy."--Amos Yong, Professor of Theology & Mission, Fuller Theological Seminary
David K. Bernard, D.Th. 2015, University of South Africa, is president and professor of biblical theology at Urshan Graduate School of Theology. He is the author of over 30 books on Pentecostal theology, history, and life. He and his wife, Connie, founded New Life Church of Austin, Texas, out of which 16 additional churches were started under their leadership.

Описание:
Artistic representations were of significant value to early Christian communities. In Christ the Miracle Worker in Early Christian Art, Lee Jefferson argues that images provided visual representations of vital religious and theological truths crucial to the faithful and projected concepts beyond the limitations of the written and spoken word. Images of Christ performing miracles or healings functioned as advertisements for Christianity and illustrated the nature of Christ. Using these images of Christ, Jefferson examines the power of art, its role in fostering devotion, and the deep connection between art and its elucidation of pivotal theological claims.

Описание: This is not a facsimile reproduction nor is it the Jefferson Bible that you may be familiar with. Originally edited by Henry E. Jackson in 1923 and titled "The Jefferson Bible - The Undiscovered Teachings of Jesus," he instead interpreted the version of Richard Francis Weymouth's - Jefferson's Bible translation in the form of prose. It is quite simply a hand book on applicable common sense governance for individuals as well as government and world affairs. Jackson's contribution to the Weymouth translation is in fact a book in and of itself. In finding Jackson's work fascinating and after subsequent research on his background, we find there is very little that sheds any light on Jackson. The miniscule amount that is available explains how and why Jackson was able to elucidate the selections in the manner he did, truly making this the "Undiscovered Teachings of Jesus." Henry E. Jackson was an American clergyman, born on February 21, 1869 in Chester County, PA., the son of Oliver Cloud and Margaret (Hamilton) Jackson. He was Educated at York (Pennsylvania) Collegiate Institute, 1889 - 1890, a Bachelor of Arts, Lafayette College - 1893, as well as an M.A. from Princeton in 1896, finally Graduating Princeton Theological Seminary, 1896. He was an Ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1896. He was the founder and pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Swarthmore, PA., from 1896 - 1907. He was Pastor of Christian Union Congressional Church, Upper Montclair, N.J. from 1907 - 1915. Interestingly, Jackson was a special lecturer to the students of China, under appointment of a committee of Princeton University, 1915. Further, he was a Special Agent in community organization for the United States Bureau of Education, Washington, D.C. from 1916-1920. Of note, there was one book review article written in the year the book was originally published which follows: The hard-shelled mind of the eighteenth century, that only a heavy hammer and a stone could open, speaks in this book to the paper-shelled twentieth that can be split by the pressure of a child's two thumbs. To read the Thomas Jefferson Bible is an excursion in a closed carriage, sedately driven, to the house of a Roman tetrarch in the center of ancient Jerusalem. Outside the faiths swarm and clash and spit venom, embrace and propagate, gnaw at the ankles of the carpenter's son. Inside the muting walls the cool steel threads of logic spin from the legal lips. We listen to the last word, bow our respect, decline in moderation the closed carriage, and walk home through the clamorous streets, disarmed to fragrant partialities. For, with all respect due to the competent Jefferson, we prefer our Christ with to without, that is, decorated with miracle, like Dionysus garlanded with vine leaves, to the bones cleaned by acid and carbolic soap. Miracle does not decay except in closed minds. The mystic lover opens his veins and lets the sap fill the depleted channels, and green leaves shoot forth. There is a better wisdom in the perfumed chat between Jesus and the woman of Samaria, omitted in the Jefferson anthology, than in all his odorless selections lumped together. Jefferson eliminates, and misses, the essential element of Christianity, that it is the story of a failure, or, as a disappointing contemporary has phrased it, peace without victory. 'Christianity is and has always been unpopular because the world prefers success to failure, riches to poverty, pleasure to pain. It has but acquired a certain sanction from the defeated majority. When the world is turned topsy-turvy Christianity will come into its universal rule. Nevertheless the personality of the Christ is the yeast that defies the Volstead Act and every other form of benzoate, a chemical that would, if universally administered, render the world eternally conscious of the distinction between success and failure.
Over two hundred years ago, Thomas Jefferson began to carve away at the King James Bible with a razor-an action considered by some then and today to be blasphemous-out of a desire to produce a linear narrative of the life of Jesus of Nazareth free of claims of divinity or mentions of miraculous events. The work he produced, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, has since come to be known as The Jefferson Bible.
The words and story of Jesus of Nazareth as compiled by Thomas Jefferson are now available in modern English for the first time. Dan Marshall has pored over the Open English Bible translation to bring you those verses selected by Jefferson himself. The OEB translation was released in 2010 by the Open English Bible Project (www.OpenEnglishBible.org). Written at a high school reading level, it was designed with usability, readability, and accuracy in mind. Thanks to these modern efforts, you can understand the Gospel passages culled by Thomas Jefferson in a way never before possible. Learn the story of Jesus as viewed by one of America's most well-known Founding Fathers.
Immediately following The New Jefferson Bible, Dan Marshall presents his vision of the teachings and life story of the person known as Jesus, written in paragraphs instead of verses. The Marshall edit is half the length of Jefferson's book. In holding with the vision of rejecting the supernatural, the teachings of Jesus are offered free of mentions of eternal life, threats of punishment, and references to a deity. Do the moral lessons of Jesus stand when separated from the influence of religious authority? Readers must decide for themselves.
