"The award-winning journalist and staff writer for The Atlantic follows up his New York Times bestseller American Carnage with this timely, rigorously reported, and deeply personal examination of the divisions that threaten to destroy the American evangelical movement."--Publisher's description.

Paulus’ Brev til Romerne er placeret i Det Nye Testamente i den del, man kalder Paulusbrevene. Genremæssigt er skriftet således beslægtet med f.eks. Galaterbrevet. Der er bred enighed om, at skriftet er nedfældet omk. 55 e.Kr. Brevet er skrevet til den kristne menighed i Rom og er et ønske fra Paulus om at formidle den nye lære med både trøst og formaning. I denne bog tager forfatteren til genmæle og skriver Poulsens første og eneste brev til Paulus. Han stiller Paulus til regnskab for nogle af de mere tvivlsomme formaninger og giver ham et indblik i dagens Danmark.

"Jervis's startling proposals require and repay careful attention by all serious students of Paul's letters."This major contribution to an ongoing debate about Paul's theology suggests that Paul thought not in terms of two ages but in terms of life in this age or life in Christ."What is time? Ann Jervis contends that Pauline interpreters of all stripes have ignored this question for far too long. Replacing the usual contrast between 'this age' and the 'age to come' with 'death-time' and 'life with Christ, ' Jervis provokes reflection not only on Paul's view of time but on his Christology, soteriology, and ecclesiology. Her startling proposals require and repay careful attention by all serious students of Paul's letters."--Beverly Roberts Gaventa, Princeton Theological Seminary (emerita)"The problem that Jervis tackles in this book is arguably the most difficult one in the letters of Paul, not only on its own internal terms but also in its existential challenge to Christian reception of Paul. Jervis gives us a characteristically learned and incisive treatment of all the relevant texts. What is more, she wrestles profoundly with the greatest theological problem of all: the fact of death."--Matthew V. Novenson, University of Edinburgh"This rigorous and challenging book charts a new course in Pauline interpretation, centering our understanding of the time of the gospel on the crucified and living Christ. Through Jervis's analysis, we learn to ask not only 'What time is it?' but crucially 'Whose time is it?' Essential reading for all serious students of Paul's gospel."--Susan G. Eastman, Duke Divinity School (emerita)"Jervis's bold intervention mounts a considered and wide-ranging challenge to commonplace accounts not only of the apostle's eschatology but also of his Christology and his account of salvation. She invites us to see afresh how, for Paul, the massive gravity of Christ bends everything around it, including time itself. The result is an extraordinary reframing of the Christian life in terms of the fundamental antimony between Christ's own 'life-time' and the time of death. A welcome provocation!"--Philip G. Ziegler, University of Aberdeen

"ALL sacred writings contain an outer and an inner meaning. Behind the literal words lies another range of meaning, another form of knowledge. According to an old¿age tradition, Man once was in touch with this inner knowledge and inner meaning. There are many stories in the Old Testament which convey another knowledge, a meaning quite different from the literal sense of the words. The story of the Ark, the story of Pharaoh's butler and baker, the story of the Tower of Babel, the story of Jacob and Esau and the mess of pottage, and many others, contain an inner psychological meaning far removed from their literal level of meaning. And in the Gospels the parable is used in a similar way." -from the Preface. The New Man is an effort to elaborate the Gospels in light of this inner truth, in order to guide man along the necessary journey he must undertake to avoid violence and self-destruction.

The Kolbrin incorporates a body of enlightened teachings that are a treasure of the centuries, a light on the path of Truth, and as relevant to the world today as they were in the past. The majority of what is presented here was actually salvaged from a pile of discarded manuscripts that had been partially burned and weathered.The Kolbrin is concerned with goodness and virtue, courage and mortality, spiritual ideals and human aspirations. It seeks to enshrine love in a place beyond the clamor and craving of mortal flesh, which may be enough to condemn it. The Masters can only record the results of their own searching in the Kolbrin. They discovered assurance but are unable to share it with others. If others want it, they must follow in the footsteps of the Masters, which is a long and winding road not for the faint of heart. The first step on that path is to research the required moral code and standards of conduct. The next step is to put these into action and make them the rule of life. They are the disciplines that allowed the truly enlightened ones of the past to awaken inner perception and make direct contact with The Universal Source of Truth. Only by following in their footsteps can anyone be assured of a path certain of reaching the desired goal. The Kolbrin incorporates a body of enlightened teachings that are a treasure of the centuries, a light on the path of Truth, and as relevant to the world today as they were in the past. The majority of what is presented here was actually salvaged from a pile of discarded manuscripts that had been partially burned and weathered. Some of the manuscripts were transcribed onto thin metal plates at some point and became known as 'The Bronzebook of Britain.' Manuscripts that were traditionally thought to have been copied from salvaged manuscripts that were not transcribed on metal plates and formed a work known as 'The Coelbook' are included. During the second and third decades of the twentieth century, these books were in the hands of a religious group in England that was never very powerful because membership requirements were too stringent. The Kolbrin appears to have been on the verge of extinction throughout history, but it has survived thanks to a few people who had no idea what it was all about, who were neither intellectual nor wealthy, and for whom the practicalities of life took precedence. Originally, there were twenty-one books, which were said to be twelve books of Britain, eight books of Egypt, and one of the Trojans, but their names are uncertain. Only a portion of these books remain, and it appears that much of the historical content has been removed.The significance of what is presented here lies in what is projected from the past into the present lamentable spiritual vacuum; in the assistance it can provide to ordinary men and women, not in what it offers to the literary world. These writings must be evaluated solely on this basis. Any knowledge's worth is determined by its utility in the present moment. We know from later books of the Kolbrin that its contents had to be kept secret for centuries because they could have been misunderstood or found unacceptable. Perhaps they will fare better now.The Masters can only record the results of their own searching in the Kolbrin. They discovered assurance but are unable to share it with others.

Enoch "walked with God; then he was no more for God took him."The Book of Enoch is a pseudoepigraphal work (a work that claims to be by a biblical character). The Book of Enoch was not included in either the Hebrew or most Christian biblical canons, but could have been considered a sacred text by the sectarians. The original Aramaic version was lost until the Dead Sea fragments were discovered. This is a compilation of several separate works, most of which are apocalyptic. Its oldest portion is the "Apocalypse of Weeks," written shortly before the Maccabean uprising of 167 BC against the Seleucids. The Ethiopic Book of Enoch is called a "pseudepigraphical work," meaning one that is not included in any canon of scripture, outside of even the Apocrypha. The only complete extant version is an Ethiopic translation of a previous Greek translation made in Palestine from the original Hebrew or Aramaic. The Book of the Watcher, tells the story of fallen angels from Gen 6:1-4 that took wives, created the Nephilim, and taught advanced technology to mankind, ultimately leading to the great flood and their destruction. The Parables of Similitude, is an apocalyptic book about the Son of Man and the Ancient of Days. These ancient prophecies of Jesus are directly in line with what we find in the Bible, and are remarkably similar to The Book of Revelation. The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries is a detailed account of the stars and their functions. The Dream Visions is the prophecy of all human history, from the creation of mankind all the way to the end times and the final judgement. The past, present, and future are foretold in grand detail. The prophecy of weeks is similar to the prophecy structure in the book of Daniel. The Noah Fragments is the untold story of Noah from the Bible. We learn more about his mission to save all humanity and the struggles of his father Lamech and his grandfather Methuselah. Finally, included herein are all known fragments of The Book of Giants. Each work is independent, but all the works are bound by a common theme: the punishment of the wicked and the blessedness of the righteous.

Hvor der er håb, er der liv, sejr og uendelige muligheder.Hvor der er håb, er der frugtbar jord for overflod af liv, mirakler, besvarede bønner og velsignelser.Mens der har været meget undervisning om emnet tro, så har der ofte været meget lidt opmærksomhed på håb. Men tro kan kun eje, hvad vi håber på (Hebr 11:1). Håb er vigtigt.Hvad er sandt håb? Bibelens definition på håb står i stærk kontrast til verdens definition. Mens verdsligt håb er ønsketænkning, så tegner Skriften et billede af håb som en tillidsfuld forventning, der forløser overnaturlig kraft. Når du er rodfæstet i sandt håb, så kan du fastholde hvert løfte, som Gud har givet!Den velkendte prædikant og forfatter, Derek Prince, skriver, at håbets kraft er …Et vindue ind i Guds perspektiv af virkelighedEt sikkert anker i hver af livets stormeEn dyb kilde af livgivende vand i tider med åndelig tørkeEn overnaturlig kraft, der gør det muligt at være udholdende i bøn, indtil Guds løfter er opfyldtGrib fat om håbets urokkelige kraft og træd ind i voksende velsignelser i dit liv i dag!Derek Prince (1915-2003) er forfatter til mere end 50 bøger, 600 lydbånd og 110 videoer med undervisning, hvoraf mange er oversat og udgivet på mere end 100 sprog. Hans daglige radioprogram fortsætter med at berøre mennesker i hele verden.

"Firm footing for a life of holy trouble." - Shane ClaiborneThe Christian faith has a rich tradition of civil disobedience. Old Testament stories of noncooperation with evil, or prophets standing up to Kings at great cost. Jesus, the nonviolent revolutionary, peacemaker, risk-taker. The early Christian communities, repeatedly imprisoned for speaking truth to power-like Dorothy Day or Martin Luther King Jr., centuries later.Nonviolent civil disobedience, when rooted in faith, is not only a way to protest unjust laws; it can be an experience of the sacred. It can be both a symbol and the reality of Christ's love, overcoming the violence that surrounds us. Within this book you'll find a civil resister's field guide to that tradition, and best practices for discernment, court appearances, even jail time. And if there comes a time to cross the line, you'll find yourself in good company.

De fleste af os ved, hvem Jesus var. Ved vi også, hvem Kristus er? Det spørgsmål kan synes underligt for de af os, der altid har fået at vide, at Jesus og Kristus er den samme.Men skal vi gribe den store vision, som oprulles for os i Bibelen, har vi brug for både Jesus og Kristus, og vi må lære at skelne mellem dem: Gud har åbenbaret sig på et bestemt tidspunkt i historien i personen Jesus – Kristus er skabelsens igangsætter og har til alle tider været universets inderste, bærende princip.Kristendommen handler om noget endnu større end at tro på Jesus som Guds søn og verdens frelser. At være ”i Kristus” er at komme til erkendelse af, at verden er beåndet og hellig, og at den guddommelige kærlighed gennemtrænger alt og alle – lige fra det mindste atom til den største galakse.Den universelle Kristus er det gudsnærvær, i hvem vi ”lever, røres og er”. I sin banebrydende bog kalder Richard Rohr os ind i denne underfulde virkelighed og viser, hvordan vi kan blive en aktiv del af den Guds kærlighedsstrøm, der flyder gennem verden.

"Thoughtful, elegantly written, literate, and timely"Contemporary American evangelicalism is suffering from an identity crisis--and a lot of bad press.In The Evangelical Imagination, acclaimed author Karen Swallow Prior analyzes the literature, art, and popular culture that has surrounded evangelicalism and unpacks some of the movement's most deeply held concepts, ideas, values, and practices. She shows that understanding what the term "evangelical" means today means understanding not only evangelicalism's faith commitments but also the images, metaphors, assumptions, and stories that have cultivated evangelical culture."Prior is among the most helpful Christian literary critics writing today. Her call for the reformation of evangelicalism is a call to repent, to allow new metaphors and analogies to drive us to more faithfully read and put into practice the Scriptures. An insightful work of love that aids a holy transformation of our imaginations."--Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest and author of Liturgy of the Ordinary and Prayer in the Night"A marvelous book--thoughtful, elegantly written, literate, and timely. An evangelical herself, Prior has done a masterful job of identifying the unstated assumptions that have shaped evangelical Christianity. American evangelicalism is in crisis; The Evangelical Imagination helps us to understand why and what needs to be done to make it an instrument of grace in a world that desperately needs it."--Peter Wehner, contributing writer, the New York Times and The Atlantic"As an artist and follower of Jesus often falling into the gaps and fractures of the church and the world, I found this book to be a refreshing and eye-opening guide to navigating beyond the borderlands. Sanctified imagination is critical in developing as the body of Christ, in being the harbingers of hope and creators of beauty, and Prior is one of the most trusted voices to help us find our thriving."--Makoto Fujimura, artist and author of Art and Faith: A Theology of Making"This book brings together the history of evangelicalism, Prior's expertise in Victorian literature, and sensitive analysis of the present moment into an indictment of the 'evangelical imagination, ' but an indictment with hope because of evangelical engagement with the gospel."--Mark Noll, author of A History of Christianity in the United States and Canada
