Описание:
The goal of this book is to suggest that Jesus as a creative artist was heavily influenced by the Hebrew Bible’s Book of Proverbs. It posits that he created some of his short parables from specific verses found in Proverbs, suggests that he expanded some basic sapient themes present in this book when composing his parables, and shows him reacting negatively to the commonly held belief that this Book’s overall concept of wisdom is that the wise are rewarded and the fools are punished by God through their own self-destructive choices and subsequent actions. Thus this text points to Jesus as an inventive artist, a concept not usually associated with him, and it complicates simplistic ways of defining biblical wisdom. Part I demonstrates how Jesus might have created his tales from specific proverbs found in the Book of Proverbs. The overarching theme for these parables is wisdom: Jesus as wisdom (I Cor. 1:24) speaking wisdom in new ways.
Part II discusses Jesus as a self-actualized artist who creatively designed these tales. It examines what shaped Jesus’ artistry, what might have been the sources of his literacy, why he might have chosen to expand individual proverbs imaginatively in order to create his moral tales, and how his wisdom enhanced conventional attitudes toward wisdom as the former included and clarified his new "kingdom of God" concepts. This book could be used in courses treating Literature and the Bible, Biblical Art, The Humanity of Jesus, and Wisdom Literature Common to Christians and Jews.

Описание: Pastoral ministry is a stressful job. Pastors face an enormous amount of pressure to perform and at times it can certainly feel overwhelming. Because of this, one out of every four pastors will leave ministry because of chronic stress or complete burnout. ENDURING MINISTRY addresses this problem by providing practical solutions for dealing with stress in ministry. It will help you discover ways to care for yourself and your family, avoid burnout, and keep serving Gods people well into your golden years of ministry. Kevin Ezell, President of the North American Mission Board says it well, "As the church works to push back lostness throughout North America, pastors are the point of the spear. They are critical to our work in fulfilling the mission of God in our communities. Today too many are stressed out, worn out, and burnt out. The last two years have been unbelievably tough on pastors... ENDURING MINISTRY, is like a lifeline to these wounded heroes who are on the frontlines of ministry. By leveraging the wisdom of pastors with years of ministry experience, Jackson has given a gift to the church -- one that I believe can help save the ministries of many worn out pastors." This book is filled with wisdom and advice from those veteran pastors who have experienced many of the ups and downs of life and ministry all the while serving faithfully in one location over an extended period of time. They share their wisdom so that others might learn from their experiences as they make the journey through the seasons of pastoral ministry toward its final reward -- the joys of heaven!
