Friendships are difficult.Sometimes it can seem as if friends are more work and pain than theyre worth, with friendship challenges that we have to endure and struggle through. Life gets in the way of our well-intentioned efforts to connect. Conflicts and differences over serious issues divide us and make us think that we could never be close to a person ever again. In todays cancel culture, its easy to give up on people and just walk away, leaving us all more isolated than before. How can we build real relationships that are life giving and pass the test of time?Bryan Loritts mines one of the Bibles least-known books for insights into how friendships can flourish even in the midst of sin and brokenness. With careful exposition and insight, he unpacks how the apostle Paul helped Philemon and Onesimus reconcile a most unlikely relationship with truth, repentance, and grace. With Gods work and steadfast love, even the most painful relationships that have ruptured are not beyond the reach of forgiveness and reconciliation. Discover how friendships that are hard can be transformed into friendships that endure.

ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award Long before the words of the Bible were written, Gods communication through the spoken word rang out loud and clear. Jesus in particular commissioned representatives to speak on his behalf even during the time of his earthly ministry. And yet today we are a reading culture. It is easy for modern Christians to take for granted that the Bible was handed down in written form, but the way we receive Gods message is far different from how the original hearers would have heard it. These differences not only shape the way that we hear Gods message to his people, but they put us at risk of misunderstanding his revelation.In Hear Ye the Word of the Lord, biblical scholar D. Brent Sandy explores how oral communication shaped the ways that biblical writers received Gods messageand even more importantly, how the ancient and modern faithful receive it through hearing. Filled with helpful biblical insights related to oral communication and constructive ways for modern readers to become better hearers and performers of Scripture, Hear Ye the Word of the Lord provides a constructive way forward for readers interested in exploring how we can better hear Gods Word.

How to Study the Old Testament for Signs of Christ Believers read Scripture to follow Christ and deepen their relationship with him. But since a majority of the Bible was written before Jesuss life and death on the cross, many people rely on the Old Testament for historical context and moral guidance alone. However, when studied in detail, we see how even the Old Testament reveals Christ as the center of Gods plan for redemption. Biblical Typology examines how the Old Testament foreshadows Christ, the church, and the consummation through typesor symbolspointing toward fulfillment. Well-known for his academic yet accessible writing, Vern S. Poythress not only provides examples of types and analogies found in Gods word but also teaches readers a practical framework and diagram for effectively examining them throughout Scripture. Readers will learn how to identify and interpret biblical typology for themselves as they deepen their understanding of the Bible and the wisdom of God. Great for Bible Teachers: Teaches pastors, Bible study leaders, and thoughtful lay people how to effectively study biblical typology in the Old Testament Practical How-To: Not only examines Scripture for examples of Christ in the Old Testament but teaches how readers can find types for themselves Uses Helpful Tools: Introduces a practical framework and diagram to effectively interpret typology within the Old Testament Academic yet Accessible: Written by scholar, professor, and author Vern S. Poythress

Critical spatial approaches particularly those informed by the scholarship of Lefebvre, Foucault, and Soja have significantly impacted biblical scholarship over the last twenty years. However, these spatial approaches have been limited due to the methodological challenges inherent in transposing the social-scientific approaches of the aforementioned scholars to the task of biblical interpretation. This volume adapts conceptual metaphor theory as a methodological bridge to address such constraints. The first half of the volume begins by surveying the field of critical spatiality in biblical studies, arguing for the need for fresh methodological development. Thereafter, the volume delineates a particular critical spatial approach, inspired by Lefebvre and Foucault, for which conceptual metaphor theory is proposed as a methodological bridge. The second half of the volume begins by proposing the Psalms of Ascents as a case study upon which the method could be applied. It is then argued that the proposed method if efficacious should provide insight on corpus"Zion theology" and its so-called pilgrimage character. Using the proposed method in conjunction with conventional historical-grammatical tools of poetic analysis, each psalm is analysed with regard to its metaphor and spatiality. The volume concludes that the case study demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed methods by allowing a rich reading of each psalm, especially by explicating the spatial narratives and/or spatial metaphorical conceptualisations that underlie each text, and providing fresh insight on the collection as a whole.This volume has been awarded the2024 Rev. Dr Lien-Hwa Chow Memorial Foundations Outstanding Theological Research Book Award. This award is "to recognize and promote outstanding theological research and publications by Chinese scholars".

Helen sempre soube que seu relacionamento com o pai, Tonho, era turbulento e marcado por cicatrizes emocionais. Anos se passaram desde que ela optou por manter distancia dele, optando por uma vida longe das lembranças dolorosas do passado que a atormentam diariamente. Decidida a confrontar seu odio interno e cansada de noites mal dormidas e remedios excessivos para ansiedade, Helen convida o pai para um passeio de barco em alto mar para conversarem sobre o passado. Mas o que deveria ser uma jornada de reconciliaço se transforma em uma luta pela sobrevivencia quando ambos acordam no barco em meio a uma tempestade sem lembrar de como embarcaram ou onde esto, tornando-os prisioneiros. Enquanto lutam contra as ondas revoltas, segredos enterrados vem a tona. Helen descobre que ha mais misterios a bordo do que apenas a furia da natureza ou sua amnesia repentina. O radio do barco começa a receber mensagens de vozes familiares, enquanto o timo se recusa a movimentar-se, indo apenas em uma direço. Alem disso, garrafas de vidro chegam ate eles, contendo versos biblicos enigmaticos que parecem ter sido enviados por alguem com uma misso divina. Alternando entre o presente desesperador e o passado doloroso, a narrativa desvenda os abusos psicologicos que Helen sofreu nas mos de seu pai e sua jornada para encontrar amor e redenço ao lado de Jonas, seu marido, e em sua fe em Jesus Cristo. Confrontada com o passado e os desafios do presente, Helen precisa encontrar uma maneira de navegar pelas aguas revoltas de seu passado e presente para alcançar a paz interior e ultrapassar a barreira do odio para que alcance o perdo.

Meu objetivo com este livro sobre "O tempo significativo de Deus para nós", e como subtítulo "Buscar o tempo oportuno de Deus através dos exercícios Inacianos", mostrando que na Sagrada Escritura, revelaço do Deus transcendente, se abre e se fecha com noçes temporais: "No principio Deus criou o ceu e a terra" (Gn 1,1). "Sim, Eu venho em breve" (Ap 22,20 ). A manifestaço de Deus na Biblia no e tomada abstratamente, mas nas suas intervençes na terra que fazem da historia do mundo uma historia sagrada. E por isso que a revelaço biblica pode responder as questes religiosas que a consciencia humana, marcada pelo devir, se pe a respeito do tempo, ja que ela mesma e de estrutura historica . A pergunta dos apostolos tinha todo um significado cosmico, historico e teologico, pois, a concepço biblica e denominada pela ideia de que o tempo e ordenado por uma sucesso de acontecimentos esperados no devido tempo, identificados com o acontecimento associado a ele. Portanto, e necessario fazer uma hermeneutica biblica para compreender a relaço entre o acontecimento Jesus Cristo e o tempo humano. Partindo desta premissa, vejamos o que o sentido de tempo, dentro desta leitura, pode nos oferecer, pois o tempo, obra de Deus, serve de quadro para uma historia que nos diz respeito, abrindo uma gama de interpretaçes que apresentam o misterio da aço de Deus no mundo. Assim, a Sagrada Escritura demonstra todo este "metodo de Deus" de se fazer presente no mundo: cosmico, historico e espiritual. Pois Deus se revelou na historia do homem para se fazer presença na historia do homem. No seu devido tempo . E os Atos dos Apostolos ja apresentam indicios desse tempo pleno de revelaço de Deus. A novidade do Evangelho se fundamenta na mensagem de Jesus: "cumpriu-se o tempo e chegou o reino de Deus; convertei-vos e crede no evangelho". Esta e a afirmaço-chave, que consta de duas frases paralelas duplas, cada uma com duas partes, unidas por um "e". Como e usual em Marcos, a segunda serve para precisar o sentido da primeira: cumpriu-se o tempo "e" chega o reino (o reino define e da sentido ao tempo); convertei-vos "e" crede no evangelho (a fe da sentido a converso). Procuramos utilizar como metodologia a espiritualidade Inaciana, contemplativa na aço, segundo o livro dos Exercicios Espirituais de Santo Inacio de Loyola PARA REALIZAR A EXPERIENCIA DE ENCONTRO PESSOAL COM JESUS, NO EXERCICIO ESPIRITUAL DO DIA-A-DIA O autor saluar antonio magni e leigo da Igreja Catolica, formado em administraço, economia e possui curso superior de religio pela Arquidiocese de Aparecida.

For the New Testament writers, the Old Testament scriptures and the teachings of Jesus were key sources of authority and influence. When these influences are considered alongside each other, each can illuminate the other, deepening the New Testament writers presentation of Jesus and our understanding of their interpretations. In Jesus and Scripture, Tom Parker examines the way in which Hebrews, James, and 1 and 2 Peter deal with these two different sources of authority, how they relate to each other, and what shifts have occurred historically and theologically within the writing of these texts. Treating the four epistles methodologically, Parker examines the particular ways in which each writer draws on the Hebrew scriptures. Ultimately, he argues convincingly that the nascent Jesus tradition, particularly via oral routes, influenced the way the Old Testament was processed by these various New Testament writers.
