Описание: The book you are holding is a small museum. On its pages hang portraits of Christianity's "masters of the sacred page" Gregory of Nyssa, Augustine of Hippo, Benedict of Nursia, Maximus Confessor, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, and Charles Wesley. Other, surprising figures also appear: Shakespeare, Washington, and Lincoln. How did these great thinkers interpret Scripture? What might their diverse approaches teach today's readers of the Old and New Testaments? What's missing in contemporary biblical interpretation that an awareness of the history of exegesis might complete? Join Clifton Black as he traverses the Bible, church history, systematic theology, Elizabethan drama, and American politics: retrieving premodern insights for a postmodern world, Reading Scripture with the Saints. "I cherish this book. For those who do not read Scripture, I know of no more important medicine for today's ills than reading it and no better book than this one for lessons in how to read. As for those who do read Scripture, the odds are that only very very few read it well. The binaries that define modern civilization tend to indwell our religions, as well, and thereby to indwell our readings. I know of no better medicine for poor reading than the instructions Clifton Black has gleaned from the saints and doctors of the church and winnowed through his own wise, capacious, and corrective hermeneutic." --Peter Ochs, Edgar Bronfman Professor of Modern Judaic Studies, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA "Clifton Black's career as a New Testament scholar has ever been marked by his restlessness to understand also how the Bible changes its readers. What he says of Augustine's biblical exegesis is true of his own book as well: Reading Scripture with the Saints can lead us to transformative insights that are 'wiser and deeper than much of our current fare.' Highly recommended " --John L. Thompson, Professor of Historical Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, CA "In this remarkable volume, Clifton Black teaches us humility. Few readers of the Bible, especially among us Protestants, attend to the wisdom of our ancestors who also read and loved Scripture. We tend to value the new over the old. These studies show us the value of looking back and listening to voices that range from Augustine to Shakespeare, and from Luther to Lincoln." --Greg Carey, Professor of New Testament, Lancaster Theological Seminary, Lancaster, PA C. Clifton Black an ordained elder of The United Methodist Church, is the Otto A. Piper Professor of Biblical Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. His other books include Anatomy of the New Testament (7th ed., 2013), The Rhetoric of the Gospel (2nd ed., 2013), The Disciples According to Mark (2nd ed., 2012), and Mark (Abingdon Commentaries, 2011).

What is your deepest desire?
No matter who you are, something inside yearns for more in life. Many search for that "more" through position, status, money, or relationships. But God's "more" is much better than anything you find in the world. He wants you to have the full and abundant life found in Jesus Christ. As God led the Israelites on to their Promised Land, he leads you to your personal promises through a relationship with him.
This journey is not just about getting somewhere or taking hold of something. It's also about an adventure with someone--Jesus himself. It's about Jesus fulfilling his plans for you, in you, and through you. In More to This Life, Armstrong unfolds the biblical story of the Israelites' trek from slavery to the Promised Land and shows you how to reach your own promised land by living according to God's principles.
More to This Life will help you answer these tough questions:
How can I discover God's purpose for my life?
How can I know God is leading my decisions?
What if God's calling on my life looks impossible?
What can I do to prepare for a breakthrough?
If God is with me, why do I have setbacks?
Can God still use me after I've failed him?
Armstrong will challenge and encourage you to embark on a journey with Jesus so you can experience more in your life.

Описание: The theology of John Wesley has proven exceedingly influential in the religious and spiritual lives of Wesley's followers and his critics. However, Wesley did not leave behind a written doctrine on scripture. This collection presents an array of diverse approaches to understanding John Wesley's charge to read and interpret the Bible as scripture. Contributors move beyond the work of Wesley himself to discuss how Wesleyan communities have worked to address the difficult scriptural--and theological--conundrums of their time and place.With contributions from William J. Abraham, Justo L. Gonz?lez, Joel B. Green, Elaine A. Heath, Randy L. Maddox, Karen B. Westerfield Tucker, Jason E. Vickers, Laceye Warner, David F. Watson, Kenneth J. Collins, Robert W. Wall, Reginald Broadnax, Meesaeng Lee Choi, Hunn Choi, Douglas M. Koskela, D. Brent Laytham, Steven J. Koskie, and Michael Pasquarello III, Wesley, Wesleyans, and Reading Bible as Scripture ultimately attempts to underscore what it means to stand in the Wesleyan stream and bring about holiness through--and within--daily occurrences.
In the individualistic West, it is commonly assumed the Bible is about me and my relationship with God when, as many now agree, it is addressed primarily to the believing community. Written for the non-academic reader, in this updated version of his earlier book, Contours of Pauline Theology, Tom Holland makes a compelling case that in losing this emphasis, critical aspects of the community's central role in God's plan for humanity were inadvertently pushed into the background. This has caused us to not only misread key texts, but also to experience far less than what scripture promises regarding our life as a Spirit-filled people.
Holland shows how recovering the communal, Hebraic mindset of the New Testament writers and the Passover-New Exodus storyline on which they relied can help us see scripture, our life together in Christ, and our identity as individuals in an amazing new light

Описание: In Houses of the Interpreter, David Lyle Jeffrey explores the terrain of the cultural history of biblical interpretation. But Jeffrey does not merely rest content to chart biblical scholarship and how it has both influenced and been influenced by culture. Instead, he chooses to focus upon the "art" of Biblical interpretation--how sculptors, musicians, poets, novelists, and painters have "read" the Bible. By so doing, Jeffrey clearly demonstrates that such cultural interpretation has deepened the church's understanding of the Bible as Scripture and that, remarkably, this cultural reading has contributed to theology and the practice of faith. Jeffrey's chapters effectively root the theological issues central to any hermeneutical enterprise (e.g., Scriptural authority, narrative, the Old Testament as Christian Scripture, the role of the reader, gender, and postmodernism) in specific authors and artists (e.g., Chaucer, Bosch, Sir Orfeo, C. S. Lewis)--and he does this in constant conversation with literature, both eastern and western.

Описание:
In six closely-reasoned chapters, Joseph Gordon presents a detailed account of a Christian doctrine of Scripture in the fullest context of systematic theology.
Divine Scripture in Human Understanding addresses the confusing plurality of contemporary approaches to Christian Scripture—both within and outside the academy—by articulating a traditionally grounded, constructive systematic theology of Christian Scripture. Utilizing primarily the methodological resources of Bernard Lonergan and traditional Christian doctrines of Scripture recovered by Henri de Lubac, it draws upon achievements in historical-critical study of Scripture, studies of the material history of Christian Scripture, reflection on philosophical hermeneutics and philosophical and theological anthropology, and other resources to articulate a unified but open horizon for understanding Christian Scripture today.
Following an overview of the contemporary situation of Christian Scripture, Joseph Gordon identifies intellectual precedents for the work in the writings of Irenaeus, Origen, and Augustine, who all locate Scripture in the economic work of the God to whom it bears witness by interpreting it through the Rule of Faith. Subsequent chapters draw on Scripture itself; classical sources such as Irenaeus, Origen, Augustine, and Aquinas; the fruit of recent studies on the history of Scripture; and the work of recent scholars and theologians to provide a contemporary Christian articulation of the divine and human locations of Christian Scripture and the material history and intelligibility and purpose of Scripture in those locations. The resulting constructive position can serve as a heuristic for affirming the achievements of traditional, historical-critical, and contextual readings of Scripture and provides a basis for addressing issues relatively underemphasized by those respective approaches.
This volume explores the political character of premodern and modern readings of scripture with attention to how these relate to or address political challenges in social and historical contexts. Essays here also offer constructive models of reading scripture that can inform the contemporary task of political scriptural interpretation. From the earliest Christian centuries to the present day, this volume considers the close coordination between scripture, theology, and social and political concerns, providing a robust survey of Christian theopolitical scripture interpretation.
Описание: This book`s statistical and legal analyses of international organizations` constitutions reveal many new - and seemingly contradictory - interpretations of international organizations law. Not only does this book provide a map of international organizations` values, it provides a healthy start towards fully understanding that map, thereby helping global governance take a quantum leap forward. -- .
