Kritik og eksegese af hellige tekster

Der Jalkut Schimoni ist ein Sammelwerk rabbinischer Auslegungen zur gesamten Hebräischen Bibel. Unerforscht ist, nach welchen Kriterien die Auslegungen ausgewählt wurden und ob das Werk als umfassendes Nachschlagewerk für exegetische Fragen, zur Verbindung von Bibelauslegung in Talmud und Midrasch oder zur Reform der rabbinischen Auslegungstradition konzipiert wurde. Die Übersetzung des Werkes ist ein erster Schritt, diese Fragen zu beantworten.

"A profound exploration of the Bible's Christmas story that delivers surprising insights to reawaken the ancient wonder of the holiday season"--

We HAVE BEEN MADE FREE from sin! Jesus' death on the cross freed the saints from both the penalty and the power of sin. All sins have been paid, and by God's grace, all the power for victory has already been made available. We must learn to reckon it so, as God does, in order to walk in that freedom. But wait, I'm not that bad, am I? Operating in the swamp of the flesh is not just debauchery, drunkenness, or adultery; one can be carnal when doing household tasks, eating a meal, watching a game, at church, or anywhere doing anything! Learning to recognize the operation of "the law of sin" in the flesh and how it affects one's thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and behavior is necessary to live as a spiritual man, glorifying God and enjoying the benefits of "all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies."

Whether you are a pastor looking for a resource for a class for mature believers, a volunteer leading a small group study or are personally studying Scripture for your own spiritual growth, this resource is for you. This study is designed to give confidence to followers of Christ, and to be a resource which anyone can pick up and use to teach confidently and thoroughly through John's Gospel.God's Word is not a dusty collection of ancient books. It is alive and active; every bit as applicable to believers today as it was to the original readers. Not only is Scripture authoritative and relevant, it is a deep well of profound truth which should be returned to regularly. That is the foundational truth from which this inductive study operates. Asking questions of the text, we will paint a picture of how the events described in the Gospel of John actually unfolded, seeing and experiencing them through John's eyes as though we were witnessing Jesus' ministry firsthand. Using this approach in tandem with good theology and sound hermeneutics, Scripture comes alive and becomes inescapably relevant. Careful study of Scripture allows the reader to not only know about Jesus, but to actually know Jesus.Contained within this work is the actual biblical text of the entirety of John's Gospel (in the NIV translation), questions designed to prompt group discussion or personal reflection, and commentary framed through the lens of the discussion questions, making for an accessible and user-friendly resource that is relatable to people in all phases of their faith journey.

Designed for small groups or whole church studies, this small book will lead you through the stories and ideals of Scripture, drawing inspiration for advocacy and action in our own time.

I wonder what you'll say when I'm gone. I wonder what my life amounts to now as I breathe your air. In the grand scheme of things, did my short years matter? Did I waste them trying to gain for myself by my own ambition? Was I too critical to have made a difference? Did I ever really grow into maturity as measured by the stature of Christ? Did my life bring unity or division? Did I spend too much time fighting my brothers and sisters? Was I adding to the noise when the community was divided?Here, from the undertaker's carriage, I question the purpose of it all. For the first time, my eyes are opened.-----------------------andrewpaulcannon.blogSlain in the Spirit is the result of a series of sermons through the book of Ephesians at Green Acres Baptist Church in Warner Robins, GA-reformatted to read like a book with more expository and doctrinal comments than the sermons had. To sum up the book in one sentence-God chose us unconditionally, so we choose one another unconditionally.

When unexpected events cause us to question what we have previously "known," do we stop and reexamine the foundation and content of our own beliefs and values? Do we seek to learn and separate "truth" and "facts" (i.e., reality) from the "knowledge" that we acquired simply by rote memorization or that we thought "felt right" -- what we wanted to be true. The most profound truth is acquired by correcting our mistakes or errors. This is especially relevant to the most crucial of life's concerns: our spiritual health and relationship with our Maker. At times, we need to be reminded of, reeducated in, or encouraged in the basic foundations of life itself.Come, take a journey through God's inspired message to mankind and experience what God has done and seen taking place over time. He welcomes and desires your accompanying presence, as well as your thoughts and questions, as you journey with Him through His story with His beloved mankind.

Why would it be so essential to our understanding that from the history of Abraham in Genesis to the Revelation of the Apostle John at Patmos, that Sodom would be the example of evil itself? Just as hell is the container of all evil and falsity in the spiritual world, Sodom is the representative of all the evil in one complex in the natural world, while Gomorrah is the falsity from that evil.

Practical Advice for Those Who Have Decided to Follow JesusA number of years ago, Tom Jones was asked to speak to a group of new disciples. The material that he shared with this group proved to be inspiring, grounding and encouraging. It is that material that grew into these 24 personal letters to young disciples, now revised to reflect the changing and maturing of our ministries. As churches are being planted and getting healthier, we are having more new disciples. This book is a great resource to put in their hands. Letters to New Disciples is a book directly from the heart of Tom Jones to the heart of the new disciple.

I'm living the dream in my fancy-pants world, and I've got the Instagram feed to prove it.Who am I kidding? I'm literally holding it together with one more cup of coffee, yesterday's dry shampoo, and a prayer. So I finally said enough. Enough of me. I'm bidding farewell to chasing emptiness and exchanging it for more of Jesus.If we agree with Paul in Acts 20:24 that our lives are worth nothing unless we use them for finishing the work of telling others the Good News - where are we in our quest to get busy for Jesus? In our world of hashtags, hair color, and having it all together, chances are we aren't accomplishing much.Enough of Me is an 8-week Bible study for women focused on what God's Word has to say about the tug-of-war between our flesh and our mission. The study explores the barriers that stand between where we are today and where God wants to use us to finish His work.Do you have a nagging in your heart for more purpose? Are you right smack dab in the middle of a tug-of-war between your flesh and your mission?Often we want to live out the purpose and mission God has for us, but we're too distracted, exhausted, and empty. Maybe it's time to say enough to the excuses, anxiety, and interruptions that get in our way.Could it be we're so busy chasing emptiness and playing the people-pleasing game, that we can't find time to live on mission?It's time to take a deep breath and do some inventory. Let's dig in and see what God's Word has to say about this tug-of-war between our flesh and our mission. Let's figure out ways to quit chasing emptiness and take bold steps of obedience. Let's discover how we can glorify God and steer people to Jesus in our cubicles, at our dinner tables, in our mom-groups, and with people we encounter every day.What would happen if we said Enough of Me . . . more Jesus.

A Scot by birth and background, Gordon Keddie was a minister after 1974 in the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America in congregations in Pittsburgh, State College, and Indianapolis.

This book is intended for Christian men who want to grow in their faith by understanding, knowing, and applying God's Word to their daily lives. It is a solid exposition of Romans 5-8, in which the apostle Paul sets out the benefits of justification and God's superabounding grace, which include reconciliation, salvation from God's wrath on that Final Judgment Day, eternal life, new life in Christ, serving in the new way of the Spirit, freedom from the old realm of sin and death, and the benefits and blessing of being indwelt by the Spirit. But the thrust of these chapters is God's unstoppable purpose to bring us justified sinners to glory--resurrection bodies on the restored earth with Christ forever. This book is not written by a seminary professor, pastor, or full-time Christian worker. It is written by a businessman to businessmen, as a fellow traveler, who has spent a lifetime immersed in the hurly-burly of the business world. So the application of the exposition directly addresses the issues men in the business world face on a daily basis like greed, pride, sexual temptation, anger, patience, priorities, humility, lying (exaggeration), and perseverance. It is heavy on grace, forgiveness, and restoration.Each chapter can be read in about ten to twelve minutes. Ideal for busy men. Recommend reading one a day for forty days or as part of a men's Bible study group--a chapter or two a week.G. Brian Christie (ThM, Dallas Theological Seminary; JD, University of Texas), a transactional (deal) lawyer, business executive, and company director, has taught men's Bible studies in churches in Texas and California for over the past forty-five years.

This book is intended for Christian men who want to grow in their faith by understanding, knowing, and applying God's Word to their daily lives. It is a fast-paced but solid exposition of the Gospel of Mark.. Mark writes in a no-frills, "just the facts" manner. He records eighteen miracles that Jesus performed--casting out evil spirits, healings, raising the dead, walking on water, feeding the five thousand and the four thousand, calming the storm, and of course, the final and most significant miracle is his resurrection. These all showed that Jesus was indeed the Messiah, the Son of God. And that's good news because if he is truly the Messiah and the Son of God, his death and resurrection were effective to provide forgiveness and eternal salvation to those who believe in him.This book is not written by a seminary professor, pastor, or full-time Christian worker.

Habitats of the Basileia brings together some of the current and important work in biblical studies and theology, which takes seriously the demands and possibilities of applying contextual, feminist, decolonial, and ecological approaches to the critical study of the Bible and religion. The volume is inspired by the engaging work of Elaine M. Wainwright RSM; and invites us to imagine what thriving conditions and communities of the human and more-than-human might look like across multiple contexts.- What did it mean for those living in biblical times, or for the early Jesus movement who proclaimed an alternative basileia or kingdom against the backdrop of Roman imperial power?- What does it mean for various communities today, as we seek to understand and re-imagine what thriving conditions might look like in our own complex and often rapidly changing environments?Written by a diverse range of biblical, theological, and religious studies scholars, the chapters in this volume collectively argue for and demonstrate the importance of context and being attuned to social location in the production of biblical and theological scholarship.The essays are divided into three categories: the first seven chapters deal with the Gospel of Matthew, given the importance of this book to Elaine's work. The next nine chapters explore biblical texts beyond Matthew through various lenses including those of gender, colonialism, the environment, animal studies, contextual hermeneutics, and class. The final three chapters are concerned with the legacies of both Elaine's lifework and the broader avenues in current biblical research that have been nurtured and influenced through her efforts.

Jesus Christ preexistedthe Incarnation(John 8:58). He existed in apreincarnateform before He was incarnated (Php. 2:6). However, in this preexisting form He had no beginning.Jesus Christ is"theBeginning"(Rev. 3:14,21:6,22:13). We can be sure that He preexisted the creation of the world in the genesis of time; for, in actuality, HeCreatedit (Genesis 1:1;John 1:1-5,Col. 1:16-17,Eph. 3:9). Jesus is one among the plurality of people, who said,"Letus make man in our Image"(Gen. 1:26), when the mighty and strong creator God, called,Elohim(Gen. 1:26), created mankind. Herein, from eternity past, long before Jesus becametheSon ofMan,He was alwaystheSon of Godin whomtheFatherdelights (Prov. 8:22-31); and, astheSon of God,Jesus istheAlphaandtheOmega(Rev. 1:8,11,21:6,22:13) -the Second Person of the Godheadwho has interposed Himself on behalf of mankind from thebeginning, even before the fall of Adam, theretofore untiltheincarnation, andmuch moreforevermore (1 Cor. 5:1-5,Ps. 110:1,Matt. 28:19-20,Rom. 5:10).

A fresh look at the prophecies of Daniel written for the edification of those saints who are looking for the return of Jesus Christ. The encoded "evenings and mornings", "days", "weeks", and "times" that have challenged Bible scholars for centuries are analyzed and given real dates with foundations in recorded history. The "seventy weeks" of years specifically allocated to the Jews is reviewed, the "times of the Gentiles" are determined, and the final verses provide a clue to the possible year of Jesus Christ's return. Without question we are living in the "time of the end". Challenging times are coming for Jews and Christians alike. The Book of Daniel is a warning for us all. It should not be ignored.
