The first of the subjects which according to the will of Canon Bampton are prescribed for the Lecturers upon his foundation is the confirmation and establishment of the Christian faith. Sir William Ralph Inge was educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge. After taking a double first in Classics, he became a tutor at Hertford College, Oxford, and was made a deacon in the Church of England in 1888. After a time as Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, Inge was elected Dean of St. Paul's cathedral in 1911 by Asquith, a position he held until 1934. During his life, Inge was President of the Aristotelian society, a columnist for the Evening Standard, a fellow of the British Academy, and a trustee of the National Portrait Gallery. He received honorary doctorates from Oxford, Aberdeen, Durham, Sheffield, Edinburgh, and St. Andrews. Inge received honorary fellowships from King's and Jesus Colleges, Cambridge, and Hertford College, Oxford.

The life and work of Origen (c186-c254 CE) have always been considered important in relation to the transmission of the New Testament text. This is not just because he was a prolific writer who referred constantly to biblical texts, but also because of his geographical location in two of the most important centres of early Christian education, Alexandria and Caesarea. The task of collecting his citations and mapping these against known manuscripts is an important task and this book contributes to this process by looking specifically at the citations from the synoptic gospels that occur in the works of Origen that have survived in Greek. The citations, lemmata, adaptations and allusions have been collected and citations and lemmata compared against a selection of known manuscripts representing major text types including the so-called Caesarean text type. Statistical analysis has been undertaken to establish the level of agreement between Origen's text and known manuscripts, with further analysis undertaken to establish levels of agreement between the different manuscripts. The evidence suggests that Origen did not use one type of text for any one gospel. Indeed his works reveal instead the range of available text traditions in Caesarea at his time of writing.

In this insightful and comprehensive volume, the authors delve into the complex and often conflicting interpretations of Shabbat within Christian tradition. Drawing on a wealth of historical and theological sources, they examined how different Christian denominations have understood and practiced Shabbat, as well as the controversies and misalignments that have arisen as a result. Throughout the book, the authors took a balanced and nuanced approach to the subject matter, providing a detailed analysis of the theological, cultural, and social factors that have influenced the development of Christian beliefs and practices surrounding Shabbat. They also drew on contemporary examples and case studies to illustrate the ongoing relevance and significance of this topic in today's world. Ultimately, How The Shabbat is a Desiderata offers a fresh and compelling perspective on a subject that is of vital importance to both Jewish and Christian communities.

When God liberated Israel from Egyptian slavery, He gave them 10 commandments by which to live at Mt. Sinai. He also gave the people 7 Holy Feasts to observe each year to commemorate and remember how He rescued them from servitude and persecution. These were called the 7 Feasts of Israel. Four were in the Spring and three were in the Fall.In the Old Testament, prophets wrote of a Jewish Messiah who would someday be sent from God to atone for their sins permanently. Unknown to Israel and the Jews was that this redeemer was none other than Jesus Christ. The 7 Feasts were given for two reasons: The first was to commemorate the deliverance of Israel from Egyptian bondage and slavery. The second was to prophesy of 7 events which will herald the first and second coming of Jesus Christ. The prophetic aspects of the first four Feasts were completely fulfilled at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The last three will be fulfilled as the 70th week of Daniel and the current Church Age come to a close. Each feast was called a Moed, which is Hebrew for set time or an appointed time. The 7 Feasts collectively provide a blueprint for the 1st and 2nd comings of Jesus Christ. Both the Historical and Prophetic aspects of each feast will be presented, along with the Jewish and Christian meanings of each feast.

In fifty pithy and engaging daily reflections from Ash Wednesday to Easter and beyond, Rob Marshall leads us on a pilgrim journey to the Mountain of the Transfiguration.The story of Jesus displaying the overwhelming glory of God to three chosen disciples is one of the most potent yet mysterious stories in the gospels, and a prelude to all that will occur in Jerusalem. Popular broadcaster Rob Marshall explores the many layers of the Transfiguration and relates them to ordinary human experiences - journeying, prayer, revelation, tiredness, sleep, fear, doubt, waiting, questioning, listening, suffering, vision and much more. Mountaintop encounters with the divine are transformative, but like the disciples we are not meant to stay there. Instead, we return to the realities of daily life, changed forever by glimpsing the glory of the God. Transfiguration will help you take the power of divine revelation into your ordinary daily Christian life.

Does God's call on your life seem impossible?Have you thought . . .I'm not the one for the job. I don't know how to do what You're asking me to do. It's simply too much.I'm exhausted by my responsibilities. You aren't alone. When God called Moses to lead His people out of slavery, Moses begged God to choose someone else. Who could blame him? The job God had given Moses was massive! It seemed impossible. But God never expected Moses to do it alone. Called by God to an extraordinary, life-changing journey, Moses led a fledgling nation of doubtful and often discontented people to the Promised Land. Along the way, he faced incredible challenges and disappointments. Moses also discovered a truth that remains today: God offers incomparable love and mercy to those who follow Him. This study of Moses's life focuses on the relationship he had with God, a relationship he did not ask for or expect. Moses learned to trust God's goodness and faithfulness, and he experienced the kind of closeness that God desires to have with you today.Moses: Called by God will encourage you to trust God more fully as you discover and live out your calling. ¿¿¿"Moses's story offers a gentle reminder to be listening for those burning bush moments when God can clarify our purpose and calling.

Your Photo on God's Fridge Door is a compilation of 101 original and thought-provoking analogies and parables that serve as devotionals or illustrations for the more mature Christian. Each entry's originality provides the reader with fresh insights into his or her faith. The entries, drawn from topics like sports, politics, science and nature, provide the same kind of applicability to daily life that characterized Jesus' parables. It was part of the genius of Jesus' teaching that he spoke of things that were common aspects of his hearers' everyday life, such as agricultural images like sowing seed, or domestic ones like a lost coin or old and new wineskins. Your Photo on God's Fridge Door provides the 21st century reader with images to which he or she can more immediately relate.The book's introduction outlines the nature of figurative speech, which includes analogies, described by one writer as "one of the most dependable devices for making difficult, unfamiliar, or technical material interesting and easy to understand. Analogies relate the unfamiliar to the familiar." This was a common teaching strategy that Jesus used, as we see in the division of analogies into two other types of figurative speech: metaphors and similes. A metaphor is a comparison that is not to be taken literally. So when Jesus says, "I am the bread of life," nobody understands that to mean that he is in fact a loaf of bread. A simile entails making a direct comparison between two concepts, such as Robert Burns' famous statement that his "love is like a red, red rose." Think for example of Jesus frequently saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like..."Jesus' initial hearers were smart enough to know the difference between figurative and literal speech, and so are the readers of Your Photo on God's Fridge Door. We would not take literally the psalmist's assertion that "The Lord is my rock, my fortress." (Psalm 18:2) God is certainly like a rock and like a fortress, common themes in the psalms. Yet no sensible Christian for a moment believes God is actually a rock or a fortress. Most of the 101 entries rely on contemporary metaphors and similes, using concepts unavailable in Jesus' time. A few entries, though, are parables with a modern-day lesson, such as the one about the man with the laptop that he couldn't connect to his home network. Or the lesson to be drawn from an ailing centipede, who had gout in each of his hundred legs.The entries are suitable for personal devotional reading, as well as a resource for those in ministry seeking original illustrations for sermons, homilies or newsletters. This diverse content, presented in an easy-going journalistic style, will attract and retain reader interest, with faith-related lessons drawn from individuals as diverse as Olympic long jumper Bob Beamon and US Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and topics such as flying fish, hardware stores, and entropy. And God's fridge door, of course.

The Old Testament, or Hebrew Scriptures, has been a source of spiritual inspiration for hundreds of millions of believers throughout the ages. Center stage in the Old Testament is a body of literature by and about the prophets-messengers of God who tried to keep God's people on the right path. You know their names-Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Ezekiel-or do you? Are you acquainted with Deborah, Huldah, Miriam and Noadiah? For far too long, the women prophets have never been accorded the respect and attention they deserve, but they delivered God's messages with the same passion, commitment and urgency as the men. This book is written to acknowledge and celebrate them-and put the women-the prophetesses-on the pedestal they deserve to occupy.
