Keith Ward introduces this volume on the world's greatest ever bestseller by suggesting that the Bible is neither a book dictated by God, as some believe, nor just a set of out-dated taboos and politically slanted histories, as those at the opposite extreme maintain. Rather, it is a very mixed set of documents, by many different writers, from many different times, which records the struggle of many people in one particular religious tradition to respond to their discernments of a transcendent spiritual power.

Download The Study of Old Testament Theology Today Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Is the Old Testament man-centred? Is it merely a collection of myths that evolved out of man's search for God? Or is the Old Testament a record of God's Revelation to man in history? Is the Old Testament a part of the word of God? In the four lectures presented in this book, Dr Young explores the history, nature, content and influence of Old Testament theology. Dr. Young takes bold issue with modern scholars of the Old Testament, who have dissected its words, but ignored their meaning. In his discussion of Old Testament theology and history, he admits that archaeology has, in general, supported the position of those who have regarded Old Testament history as untrustworthy. However, his clear arguments support the premise that the Old Testament is grounded upon that which God Himself did in history. The author examines the nature of Old Testament theology, and compares Old Testament literature with references in The Iliad and The Odyssey and in the religious literature of Egypt and Babylonia. He traces the development of the oral tradition, which can be recognised in Old Testament literature, and the cultural influence which affected the scribes. However, whilst he argues that these influences should be noted, he believes that they are of secondary importance to the words themselves. Finally, Dr, Young concludes by analysing the meaning of the Covenant, and the content and influence of Old Testament theology. He examines the prophecies which prepare for the coming of the Messiah, and considers the manner in which the Old Testament paves the way for the New. This discussion of Old Testament theology is of supreme importance to ministers and students, and to all who love the Bible.

Download The First Paul Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
“Borg and Crossan reveal a figure who, besides being neither anti-Semitic, anti-sex, nor misogynist, stresses social and political equality among Christians and between them and others. A refreshing and heartening exculpation of a still routinely maligned figure of the first importance to culture and civilization.” — Booklist (starred review) John Dominic Crossan and Marcus J. Borg—two of the world’s top-selling Christian scholars and the bestselling authors of The Last Week and The First Christmas—once again shake up the status quo by arguing that the message of the apostle Paul, considered by many to be the second most important figure in Christianity, has been domesticated by the church. Borg and Crossan turn the common perception of Paul on its head, revealing him as a radical follower of Jesus whose core message is still relevant today.

Download The Old Testament Without Illusions Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
While, for many, the old and destructive controversy as to whether the Bible is to be taken literally has long since been resolved, modern research and scholarship has progressed far beyond this debate. The point of the research has not been to destroy the credibility of the Bible but rather to understand Scripture better. In the process many popular and traditional certainties have fallen by the wayside. Scholars doubt that Moses led the Israelites across the Red Sea or into the Sinai; that David is the author of the Psalms, or indeed that Solomon was even wise. These and dozens of other illusions are being stripped away -- and more will surely follow. Beyond this there are the larger contradictions which exist between the law and spirit of the Old and New Testaments. The modern believer needs both to know of these findings and put them into a perspective which will enhance rather than diminish understanding of the Scriptures.
