"This wonderful book is a pastoral, homiletical gift to those in need of encouragement. Diagnosing the problem of our era as a failure of hope, Irwyn Ince shares the fruit of his profound meditations, study, and preaching of the book of Hebrews. This is the kind of strong medicine needed to restore hope in a generation that has been disappointed by apathy, injustice, and scandal. He shows us that the hope of the gospel is the secret to joy and endurance. For those who are discouraged, sorrowful, and struggling, this wise book helps us to have eyes to see the beauty of Jesus anew." Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest and author of Prayer in the Night Sometimes hope can feel like a scama swindle, a hustle. You thought it was real, and you bought into it. But then the tables turn, and you feel like youve been hustledlike youve been had.As Christians, we often respond to the brokenness of life as if we do not actually have hopeas if the promises of God are not really certain. But Pastor Irwyn Ince assures us that not only do we have hope, but that hope cannot disappoint us because it is validated by God himself. Hope Aint a Hustle is a clear and accessible exploration of the epistle to the Hebrews, urging us to place our confidence in the finished work of our great high priest, Jesus Christ, and showing how that confidence changes the way we live in the here and now.Its not that Christians dont face grief or anger, disappointment or deep sorrow. Its that we dont face them as those "who have no hope."

Sort through Your Questions and Find a Path from Doubt to FaithDo you have honest questions about faith? Or have you walked away from a faith you once had? Perhaps youve been part of a faith tradition, but youve begun to question parts of what youve been taught. Students and young professionals today are submerged in a culture of cynicism and doubt. Many identify as nonreligious but wrestle with questions about Gods existence, the meaning of life, and whether its possible to find goodness and beauty in this world.After 40 years listening to hundreds of peoples stories of faith, Randy Newman has come to see that answering spiritual questions usually involves a series of twists and turns, not a direct ascent from one belief to another. Our political view, family background, understanding of sexuality, and religious background all play a part in our faith journeys. If you or a friend are navigating terrains of doubt, youll find Newman to be a faithful guide. Hell help you sort through your many questions and find solid answers. Culturally Aware: Touches on matters of morality, identity, suffering, sexuality, and science Accessible: Newman mixes thought-provoking anecdotes with a clear and compelling message about the Christian faith A Tool for Winsome Apologetics: Written to help those who doubt to answer their questions about the Christian faith; will also help Christians strengthen their beliefs and share them with doubting friends Written by Randy Newman: Senior fellow for apologetics and evangelism at the C. S. Lewis Institute

Meu objetivo com este livro é REFLETIR sobre O tríplice múnus do leigo Batizado, e Buscar ser sacerdote, profeta e rei vivenciando os exercícios inacianos, buscando trabalhar as bases da fé que nos conduzem a ser um cristo catolico que busca viver o munus sacerdotal, profetico e regio, pois perceberemos que ser cristo no e um titulo, mas sim uma forma de viver, uma conduta pautada na pessoa de Jesus Cristo. Tudo o mais em nossas vidas tomam um lugar secundario, porque Jesus e o Seu Reino, passam a ocupar o primeiro e o mais importante lugar. O Vaticano II disse que os leigos so os fieis cristos que sendo incorporados a Cristo pelo Batismo, constituidos como parte do povo de Deus e feitos participantes do munus sacerdotal profetico e real de Cristo Jesus, exercem sua parte integrante na misso de todo o povo de Deus na Igreja e no mundo. O Concilio Vaticano II tambem colocou a importancia dos leigos e das leigas para o bem de toda a Igreja. Os pastores sabem que no foram instituidos por Cristo Jesus sem a presença deles e delas, de modo que no sejam sozinhos na assunço da misso salvifica da Igreja no mundo, mas eles apascentam de tal modo que haja o reconhecimento dos fieis nas suas atribuiçes e carismas para que assim, pastores, leigos e leigas cooperam de uma forma unanime na obra comum da evangelizaço e da salvaço em Cristo Jesus. E preciso que todos, na vivencia da verdade e do amor, cresçam na relaço com Cristo, que e a cabeça da Igreja.

Jesus era judeu, e sua identidade judaica nunca foi por ele renegada. Por que se criou, então, abismo tão profundo entre o judaísmo e o cristianismo? Seriam experiências religiosas irreconciliáveis?

King Manasseh of Judah is one of the most intriguing characters in the Bible. 2 Kings presents him as the wickedest of monarchs. In 2Kgs 24:34, he is accused of having provoked God to destroy Judah on account of the innocent blood he had shed in Jerusalem (cf. 2Kgs 21:16). In his study Krzysztof Kinowski investigates this accusation, viewing it against the biblical and ancient Near East backgrounds, and casts a new light upon Manassehs role in the fall of Jerusalem. The mention of bloodshed in this affair appears to be the outcome of a process of scapegoating of Manasseh, ongoing in 2 Kings and reflecting both the legal and the cultic paradigms governing the biblical historiography. The link between Manassehs bloodshed and the destruction of Judah on account of the cultic lands blood-defilement points towards a group of priestly scribes involved in the production of the 2Kgs 21 and 24 narratives. This assumption lies behind the scholarly discussion about the Priestly-like strata and priestly touches in the Books of Kings.

Understanding the Old Testaments Purpose in the Christians Life TodayThe Old Testament makes up the majority of the Christian Bible, yet incorrect teaching of its texts abounds in the church. Without effectively studying these stories, covenants, and kingdoms within their close, continuing, and complete biblical contexts, believers miss the beauty of the Old Testament, including how it points to Jesus, and why it still matters today.Jason DeRouchie helps Christians delight in the books of the Old Testament and read them the way God intendedas relevant parts of Christian Scripture. This accessible guide stresses the need to keep Christ at the center and to account for the progress of salvation history when applying the Old Testament today. It helps Christians interpret the Old Testament, see how it testifies to Jesus, believe that Jesus secured every divine promise, and understand how Jesus makes Mosess law still matter. By more strongly comprehending Old Testament teachings and how they relate to the New, Christians will better enjoy the Old Testament itself and increasingly understand all that Jesus came to fulfill.In-Depth Study: Shows the lasting relevance of Old Testament laws, history, prophecy, and wisdom, and gives insight into the authors and audience of Old Testament books A Great Resource for Pastors, Students, and Small Groups: Prepares Christian leaders to faithfully teach the Old Testament and equips all Christians to embrace that the Old Testament is Christian Scripture Accessible: Includes numerous case studies, "Review and Reflection" points for every chapter, and a glossary of key terms

Reading psalms in context The Psalter is a carefully edited work, skillfully arranged to communicate a theological message. The Promised Davidic King is a case study of how a single psalm shapesand is shaped byits context in the Psalter. Wyatt Aaron Graham argues that Psalm 108 plays a guiding role in Book V (Pss 107150). Following Israels return from exile in Psalm 107, Psalm 108 introduces the eschatological King and kingdom further developed in Psalms 109110. Psalm 108 repurposes Psalms 57 and 60, which in this location, take on renewed meaning in the Psalters unfolding story of redemption. Grahams study of Psalm 108 gives insight into the meaning of the Psalms and displays the benefits of reading psalms in their context.
