We often think of the apostles as spiritual giants-men who were uniquely qualified to walk with Jesus and carry on His mission to the world. But the reality is they stand out more for their lack of qualifications. They were not trained religious scholars; they often misunderstood what Jesus told them; and sometimes they simply failed to live up to Jesus's expectations.
Not only did they lack qualifications, but they also encountered many of the same fears and issues we experience. They struggled with doubts, cowardice, ambition, faithlessness, pessimism, and greed. In other words, the apostles were people just like us. Yet, Jesus chose them to change the world. And they did. Lessons from the Apostles describes the struggles and personalities of these ordinary men, reveals the transformation Jesus made in their lives, and identifies specific lessons you can apply in your own life. You will also find brief accounts of the stories and legends regarding what happened to the apostles after the Bible. As you read about each of these men, you will likely recognize your own personality in one or more of them. And you will find encouragement from knowing that you too are the type of person God can use to change the world

Описание: Four lifelong friends, on a college break in March, meet at the Truro Coffeehouse on the Cape. While telling their stories, the buddies realize they have shared past-life experiences. Each offering a different perspective, they recall memories of time spent together from the hunter-gatherer age to the present, exploring humankind's progress in science, philosophy, technology, and religion. Beck, Sam, Tahn, and Gia consider the value of monotheistic religions-built on myth, fear, and ignorance-and come to realize religion is falling behind as thinking moves from incremental to exponential. They consider the enormous challenge of finding alternatives to traditional religious dogma and doctrine that will provide the meaningful explanations they seek in the twenty-first century. Having Coffee with God offers a forward-thinking perspective on the value of monotheistic traditions throughout history and, more importantly, into the future. It communicates that monotheism has not kept pace with the world's advancements in science and understanding, and something must change. This novel presents author Benjamin Abrahams' culmination of decades of study and observation on alternatives to best guide young people in the new millennium.
Описание: This volume represents the final publication of the European Seminar in Historical Methodology. The volume reflects on the ground-breaking work of this prestigious seminar in the field of biblical history. In part one, long-term members of the seminar (Bob Becking, Ehud Ben Zvi, Philip R. Davies, Ernst Axel Knauf, Niels Peter Lemche, Thomas L Thompson) provide reflections on its work. Part two presents an opportunity for readers to benefit from contributions that have remained heretofore unpublished. This includes material on the Persian period, questions of orality and writing, and contributions on the Maccabean period. Bringing these papers together in a published form provides a fitting way to round out the work of this significant endeavour in historical methodology.

Описание:
In this new ecological commentary on the letter to the Hebrews, Jeffrey S. Lamp makes use of approaches developed in the relatively new field of Ecological Hermeneutics to shed light upon the connection of Hebrews with Earth.
Hebrews is frequently characterized as portraying a dualistic cosmology that diminishes the material world, muting the voice of Earth. Conversely, Lamp argues that though Hebrews cannot be construed as an ecological treatise, the contours of the letter's presentation may be subverted by reading from an ecological perspective, such that cues provided by the author of Hebrews serve as opportunities to hear Earth's voice in the letter. Three movements, corresponding to thematic interests of the author of Hebrews, form the framework of this ecological reading: the Son as the agent of creation, the Son depicted as the Second Adam, and the New Jerusalem as the eschatological dwelling place of God. This ecological reading of Hebrews aims to shape its readers into those who fulfill the soteriological aims of God in and for the world.
Описание: The Blueprint of God helps individuals restore their identity as champions, ambassadors, and governing saints as being one with the Father. The Blueprint of God helps Christians to partner with the Father to manifest their dreams and create a compelling future for themselves and the people around them. Dreams coming true will have an eternal impact as well as a national impact. Don W. Long created this blueprint to help those become all that they were meant to be when they are able to restore their true identity as sons and daughters of God and realize that He left us in charge to take dominion, be fruitful and multiply. Within The Blueprint of God Christians are shown a blueprint connecting them to their destiny, dreams, and desires that are hidden inside of them, that part of who they are is uncovering their destiny, and so much more
