Описание: The early Christian Church was a chaos of contending beliefs. Some groups Christians claimed that there was not one God but two, or twelve, or thirty. Certain sects maintained that Jesus was human but not divine; others that he was divine but not human. Eherman offers an enlightening study of these early forms of Christinaity, and how they came to be suppressed, reformed, or forgotten.
Описание: The First Chapters uncovers the origins of the first paragraph or chapter divisions in copies of the Christian Scriptures. Its focal point is the magnificent, fourth-century Codex Vaticanus (Vat.gr. 1209; B 03), perhaps the single most significant ancient manuscript of the Bible.
Innovation within Tradition is an exploration of the meaning and implications of Joseph Ratzingers biblical interpretation of the women of salvation history. Mary Frances McKenna argues that Ratzingers work, through his development and refinement of the churchs tradition, brings the important role and significance of the female characters of Scripture to the fore by placing them at the heart of Christian faith.
Explicating the pope emerituss concept of a female line in the Bible, which has a profound impact on the meaning and interpretation of the women of salvation history, the volume shows that this concept illustrates the practical value and creative nature of his approach to theology and biblical interpretation. Pivotal to the argument are questions around the findings on the notion of person, feminist theology, salvation history, and Mary, as well as the use of history in theology and biblical interpretation and the potential for the continuing development and deepening of the churchs comprehension of the meaning of revelation.
The book advances a constructive approach, in coordination with these questions, for a Trinitarian theology of society, addresses old theological issues anew, and provides a starting point for an interdenominational understanding of Mary.

Описание: This book considers the academic treatment of biblical interpretation in the renewal movement, the fastest growing tradition in Christendom today. After an initial chapter surveying the history of biblical interpretation in the renewal tradition, Part II outlines a proposal for the future of biblical hermeneutics in the tradition. Six renewal scholars address key questions. What is the role of the Holy Spirit in biblical interpretation? What are the distinctive presuppositions, methods and goals of renewal biblical hermeneutics? Three prominent biblical scholars (Craig G. Bartholomew, James D.G. Dunn, R. Walter L. Moberly) respond to the proposals outlined above. These critical responses deepen the examination of renewal biblical hermeneutics as well as increase its appeal to biblical and theological scholars in general. The final chapter offers a synthesis and evaluation of the accomplishments of the discussion, as well as an assessment of the state of the discipline with an eye toward the future.
Описание: This work compares the Minor Prophets commentaries of Theodore of Mopsuestia and Cyril of Alexandria, isolating the role each interpreter assigns the Twelve Prophets in their ministry to Old Testament Israel and the texts of the Twelve as Christian scripture.
Описание: Presents a doctrine of Scripture based on Hebrews in dialogue with Augustine and Calvin
What vision of biblical authority arises from Scripture's own use of Scripture? This question has received surprisingly little attention from theologians seeking to develop a comprehensive doctrine of Scripture. Today When You Hear His Voice by Gregory W. Lee fills this gap by listening carefully to the Epistle to the Hebrews.
Lee illuminates the unique way that Hebrews appropriates Old Testament texts as he considers the theological relationship between salvation history and scriptural interpretation. He illustrates these dynamics through extended treatments of Augustine and Calvin, whose contrasting perspectives on the covenants, Israel, and the literal and figural senses provide theological categories for appreciating how Hebrews innovatively presents Scripture as God's direct address in the contemporary moment.
Описание: It is important for our children to know that no matter what happens in their lives that Jesus will be right there with them and that they can always call on him, to thank him, to say I love you, or to say I need you. For in this world they will know, no greater friend, love, or prayer, than the love and friendship of Jesus... Once we set Jesus as the "cornerstone" in our children's lives, we give them the foundation, to ultimately grow in their love, devotion, and relationship with Jesus. And, as parents we have begun, to work in God's vineyard, and set our children's hearts, minds, and souls on the path, to a relationship with Jesus Christ that will live with them not just in this life but in the next life too (for all eternity)

I pray that this book will help each of us in not only understanding the Scriptures, but will empower each of us to share our understanding with others. Indeed, this book is titled "Let Us Be Attentive" because in being attentive to the Scriptures, we receive the spiritual nourishment that keeps our personal faith dynamic and enables and empowers us to spread the gospel truth in our church communities and far beyond. His Eminence, Metropolitan Methodios of Boston
What is the Bible trying to tell us?
The Bible is the most significant and most widely read book in world history. Both Christians and non-Christians are familiar with its name: everyone knows what the Bible is. However, many Christians struggle to read the Bible. For many, the book is even too intimidating to start. Others struggle to understand what they are reading or to apply it to their lives.
The answers, though, are right before you.
Every time a word of Scripture is read in the Orthodox Church, it is preceded by the phrase "Let us be attentive." Two thoughts come to mind as we contemplate these words. First, we are reminded to pay attention to what we are about to hear. Second, we realize that we need to attend to and act on the information we hear. If the scriptures tell us, as an example, to forgive our neighbor "seventy times seven" (Matthew 18:22), then we need to be attentive in our lives and make sure that we are more forgiving towards others, including those who hurt us or are our enemies.
May God open your hearts as you read this book so you can better comprehend the messages provided in Scripture and apply them throughout your life's daily journey to salvation.

Описание:
What is the Christian Lord's Day? Why is it of continued importance? What does is represent? These and other questions will be addressed in The Lord's Day in Scripture.
The Lord's Day is the scriptural name for the Christian day of worship on the first day of the week. The Lord's Day is the Lord's Day--the day of which the Lord Jesus Christ took possession by his resurrection on the first day of the week. The day of Christ's resurrection was prophesied in the Old Testament to be on the third day, fulfilled in the New Testament on the first day of the week, and celebrated as the Lord's Day. Therefore, the time of the resurrection is directly connected to the event of the resurrection.
The Lord's Day in Scripture establishes the scriptural basis for the Lord's Day. It seeks to help each Christian appreciate worship, fellowship, and meaning in church through a better understanding of what the Lord's Day is and is not.
Why are spouse and child abuse so frighteningly common in the church? According to the findings of this book's contributors, the main reason stems from misuse and misunderstanding of the Bible's teachings on headship and submission.
Based on a Christians for Biblical Equality conference, Women, Abuse, and the Bible shows that many abusers see no conflict between their behavior and their Christian beliefs. Some abusers even justify their behavior by citing biblical passages and religious principles.
With input from counselors, biblical scholars, an abuser, and survivors, this eye-opening book will:
--Compel Christians to recognize the existence of domestic violence.
--Offer practical and creative pathways to healing.
--Challenge churches to honestly address the issues of domestic, verbal, and clergy abuse, emotional cruelty, sexual harassment, and rape.
This book speaks frankly of the way that the Bible can be used to hurt or to heal, to disperse God's grace or to obstruct it. It serves as a source book for all Christians courageous enough to address the problem.
