Описание: The use of voluntary associations as a way to begin understanding Christ groups has become accepted practice in much of modern New Testament scholarship. This consensus has been decades in the making, building on work from the previous century. Easy access to influential works in this field enables students and scholars to expand our horizons for studying Christian origins.The chapters in this volume represent some of the key figures and their arguments across three major periods of interest in the development of using associations as a model for understanding early Christ groups. A new introduction orients the reader to the important contributions of each essay and to where the essays fit within broader attempts at reconstructing the development of Christianity. While much work remains in this field, Christ Groups and Associations serves to demonstrate the breadth of existing research and past discoveries on Christ groups enmeshed within the Greco-Roman cultural and social milieu and also the communal patterns that preceded and surrounded such groups. Modern scholars can build on these essays to join in the lively debate about the relevance of associations for understanding the claims and practices of the earliest Christ groups.
Deep within the heart of everyone is the question, "what does the future hold for me?" That which awaits humankind can be found in the Word of God. For the believer in Christ, the future is a bright one, revealed in the panoramic view of Bible prophecy. As It Was in the Days of Noah: Foundational Studies in Bible Prophecy by Dr. Phillip G. Richards is a fundamental, inspirational, and practical book on the subject of Bible prophecy that will help equip the reader to understand the role of prophecy in the Bible, and how those prophecies point us to a bright and eternal future in Christ Jesus.
Within the pages of this book you will discover: - That God ordained a plan of redemption for all humanity, even before the fall of Lucifer. - God's redemptive plan for the nation of Israel. - The prophetic chronological events Jesus predicted in Matthew 24. - The biblical dispensations and how we are witnessing the consummation of the times of the Gentiles. - Paul's revelation of the Church age and the catching away of the saints.
If your desire is to rise above the murky waters of confusion so often attributed to the study of Bible prophecy, this book is for you. As an experienced pastor, evangelist, and teacher, Dr. Phillip G. Richards understands the need for sound biblical education, especially concerning Bible prophecy and end times. After graduating from Rhema Bible College in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma in 1978, Dr. Richards continued his studies in theology, receiving his Th. M. and Ph. D. in theology from Life Christian University in Tampa, Florida. Dr. Richards continues to minister the Word of God as Associate Pastor at Rivers of Living Water Ministries in Elkins West Virginia, and as an instructor of theology at Victory Family Church in Cranberry, Pennsylvania.
