I am not an expert in xianity, but I am a decent judge of evidence. While not an easy read by any means, this is a very intelligent book, with the feel of a very stiff and merciless cross-examination of the gospels and xianity. By the time she finishes, the reader is left with Jesus, not Christ. To not read this book is to carry on with your head buried in ...             Preaching Christ from Genesis2 reviews Sidney Greidanus Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2007 Pastors Ought To Own This Book First let me just say that I'm a pastor working through Genesis right now for my congregation.

The author is professor emeritus of homiletics at Calvin Theo Sem in Grand Rapids, MI. This particular book is the first one by him that I've reviewed. He has other ...             Him We Proclaim: Preaching Christ from All the Scriptures2 reviews Dennis E. Johnson P & R Publishing, 2007 The Goal Of Our Instruction 'Truly apostolic preaching is not ethical imperative ungrounded in theological indicative. It is not psychological manipulation, moralistic harangue based on guilt, or pragmatic life coaching, untethered to the truth of Christ's redemptive accomplishment on behalf of others.' pg 177 Johnson's life-work is Christocentric to its core and inspiring in its allegiance to the fidelity of timeless ...             Church History Volume One: From Christ to Pre-Reformation: The Rise and Growth of the Church in Its Cultural, ...6 reviews Everett Ferguson Zondervan, 2005 A wonderful book to own and read In this day and age when Liberals and their ultraliberal ideologies (such as Borg and Spong and E. Pagels) run amok, spouting the most insane and (lots of time) inane theories and considerations toward early Church History, it is wonderful to know that there are scholars such as Ferguson to not only bring balance and bring some sanity back to the discussion of the events after the Resurrection. ...             Preaching Christ from the Old Testament: A Contemporary Hermeneutical Method10 reviews Sidney Greidanus Wm.

Smith Inter-Varsity Press, 1971 Lively life and times of the early Christian communities "The greatest justification for studying any history, whether sacred or secular, is that it is a study of people. While the furniture of history changes, the basic human beings do not." Michael Smith, Introduction The Early Church: The life and times of the early Christian communities, which came to be known as the church, were every bit as exciting. The pulse of early Christian life, ...             Lit: Living Christ's Character from the Inside Out David Edwards Howard Books, 2002 With boldness and cutting-edge insight, David Edwards turns the light on false perceptions of religion and gets down to the truth about the "cosmic" battle between light and dark.

In this provocative book, nationally recognized speaker David Edwards delivers thirteen ways to ignite the fire within ...             The History of the Church: From Christ to Constantine (Penguin Classics)25 reviews Eusebius Penguin Classics, 1990 Should be required reading for all Christians As ancient and stiff as Eusebius' writing sounds to modern ears, the subject matter of his most famous book nevertheless retains the power to utterly astound. To read Eusebius is to be transported- to hear the Apostles preach in the agoras of the ancient world, and hear the last prayers of the martyrs in the arena; we read the persecution edicts, and the extrabiblical words of Jesus Christ ...             Christ & Empire: From Paul to Postcolonial Times (Facets)2 reviews Joerg Rieger Fortress Press, 2007 Highly recommended for Christology shelves. Joerg Rieger (Professor of Systematic Theology, Perkins School of Theology) presents Christ & Empire: From Paul to Postcolonial Times, an examination how our modern-day perception of Jesus Christ has been shaped by empires at critical turning points of history.

Profoundly thoughtful insights !! An outstanding introduction to ancient Greek/Roman literary classics from a Christian perspective, Markos leads the reader through some prominent ancient Greek/Roman literary works, explaining the highlights of the "stories" and then digging deeper into their meanings and how they sort of "jive", in a faintly anticipatory way with some of the biblical themes of God, humanity, and redemption. ...             Christ the Liberator: A View from the Victims1 review Jon Sobrino Orbis Books, 2001 a great completion for Sobrino's theological model If you have read Sobrino's "Jesus the Liberator" you are in for a surprise is his new book "Christ the Liberator." It is a more accessible book for a fundamental theology than "Jesus the Liberator." I would call it a MUST READ for anyone working in or thinking about theology. It is also so clearly written and clearly translated that it is suitable for the general reader.             From Adam to Christ: Essays on Paul Morna D. Hooker Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2008 The publication of these essays in one volume - essays published separately and in diverse contexts over a period of thirty years - is something of an event. Professor Hooker is one of the foremost New Testament scholars currently writing, and Paul is one of her major interests. This collection includes some of her best writing on Pauline ideas and their contemporary significance and may come to be seen as her definitive statement on the apostle ...             LA Pasion : Fotografia de la Pelicula La Pasion de Cristo / Passion : Photography From The Film The Passion ...

Wonderfully done, like the movie! The pictures are just as touching as the film. The book touches on the most important scenes, the relationship between Jesus and Mary and the suffering He went through in the end. It doesn't fail to point out that Jesus rose from the dead also. This book clearly communicates the purpose of Jesus dying for us and that He is God.
