What difference does it make to identify Mark's gospel as an ancient biography? Reading the gospels as ancient biographies makes a profound difference to the way that we interpret them. Biography immortalizes the memory of the subject, creating a literary monument to the person's life and teaching. Yet it is also a bid to legitimize a specific view of that figure and to position an author and his audience as appropriate "gatekeepers" of that memory. Biography was well suited to the articulation of shared values and commitments, the formation of group identity, and the binding together of a past story, present concerns, and future hopes. Helen Bond argues that Mark's author used the genre of biography to extend the gospel from an earlier narrow focus on the death and resurrection of Jesus so that it included the way of life of its founding figure. Situating Jesus at the heart of a biography was a bold step in outlining a radical form of Christian discipleship patterned on the life - and death - of Jesus.
The Historical Jesus: A Guide for the Perplexed by Helen K. Bond Pdf
The introduction to this new guide sets out the sources (Graeco-Roman, Jewish and Christian), noting the problems connected with them, paying particular attention to the nature of the gospels, and the Synoptic versus the Johannine tradition. A substantial section will discuss scholarship on Jesus from the nineteenth century to the explosion of works in the present day, introducing and explaining the three different 'quests' for the historical Jesus. Subsequent chapters will analyse key themes in historical Jesus research: Jesus' Galilean origins; the scope of his ministry and models of 'holy men', particularly that of prophet; Jesus' teaching and healing; his trial and crucifixion; the highly contentious question of his resurrection; and finally an exploration of the links between the Jesus movement and the early church. Throughout, the (often opposing) positions of a variety of key scholars will be explained and discussed (eg. Sanders, Crossan, Dunn, Wright, Brown).
Part One: The History (What do we know?) This brief historical introduction to Jesus assesses his impact on the world as it was at the time and outlines the key ideas and values connected with him. It explores the social, political and religious factors that formed the context of his life and teaching, and considers how those factors affected the way he was initially received. Part Two: The Legacy (Why does it matter?) This second part surveys the intellectual and cultural ‘afterlife’ of Jesus, exploring the ways in which his impact has lasted. Why does he continue to be so influential, and what aspects of his legacy are likely to endure beyond today and into the future? The book has a brief chronology at the front plus a glossary of key terms and a list of further reading at the back. Contents: Part 1: Jesus of Nazareth Did Jesus Exist? The Political Context: Dreams, Prophets and Messiahs Jesus’ Message Jesus as Miracle Worker – Healings and Exorcisms Friends, Family – and a Wife? Jerusalem, Betrayal and Execution Part 2: Jesus’ Legacy Resurrection - and the Earliest Portrayals of Jesus Jesus the God and the Centre of Time Jesus in the Middle Ages: Art, Relics and Passion Plays Jesus in Contemporary Religion Jesus Today Glossary

Bought and Bonded by Blood by Jean Norbert Augustin Pdf
"And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." That is what God's Word adamantly and peremptorily declares in Hebrews 9:22.If forgiveness of our sins and our eternal salvation depend exclusively upon the shedding of blood, it is of the utmost importance that we ask ourselves a number of questions: "The shedding of whose blood?" "Has that blood been shed?" "If yes, when was that?" "Where did it happen?" "What are the consequences of that blood shedding?" "How can we be sure that the blood that was shed is adequate and potent enough to guarantee us eternal salvation?" "What is implied by salvation, anyway?" And most of all, "How can we appropriate the benefits of that blood?" Dr. Jean Norbert Augustin answers all these questions and more in his book.
Seeing is believing… Do you question whether Jesus truly appears to people today? Do you long to see Him for yourself? Why Jesus Appears to People is an intimate, modern-day account of the author’s personal experiences seeing Jesus. It is also an introduction into a lifestyle that positions you for the same encounters. But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only (Matthew 17:7-8). Being saturated in the Word of God is a gateway into supernatural visitations with Jesus, both in Heaven and on earth—in dreams and in visions. To see Jesus is to be transformed. Why Jesus Appears to People positions you for living a supernaturally transformed life. Also discussed are the traps of satan to fool people—but there are ways you can discern his tactics. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last” (Revelation 1:17). You will be strongly inspired and encouraged knowing that Jesus has not changed. He greatly desires to appear to people today—to enhance and bring love and peace into their lives, your life.
How to Bond with Your Brothers Through Christ by Daniel Lindsey,Julia Lindsey Pdf
What is Bros 4 Christ?Bros 4 Christ is someone who means a lot to someone. It is where two people share something so valuable to one another they become brothers. When you spend so much time with your brother you want to share every kind of experience with them. You talk about you like and dislikes, Your Fears and Failures, and Your Hopes and dreams. Everywhere you been with that person is your buddy but more like a brother. You and your brother share the same interests. It can be anything, sports, music, video games, teaching about God's Word to others. Who is God?We don't know who God is and why he created us. We have so many questions about life yet he takes his sweet time in everything he does for us. Everything takes time. Relationships with Family and friends. Starting School, Finish School, Go to College, Get a Career, Have a job salary, and make money. Finding that special someone to hang out with, go on dates, and if you feel like you and that person has a real connection with one another you ask her hand in marriage, become one flesh, get married, go on a honeymoon, get a house, a car, things for you house, spend time together for a few years, have kids, watch them grow up and do everything that happen to you. So God takes his sweet time for us to grow for him in everything we do. Just like Jesus would do for us.Who is Jesus Christ?Jesus Christ is the King of all Kings. He is the Lord of all lords, The Messiah, The Name above all Names, Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel, Rescue for sinners, Lord of all. His body the bread, his blood the wine, and we must define his righteousness as truth. The Bible is never fake it is 100% True. Everything you wanted to know about how the world began is right in there. Even when Jesus was born into this world full of sinners and helps them to become better people. Everything has a purpose for the right reasons and the wrong reasons. We have an enemy that has a plan to distract us from "God Total Truth." He wants to twist the truth with lies, lies, lies, and more lies. He trying to make us believe the bad stuff is good. But Jesus thinks the other way around, He want to use good things against the bad things of this world. He is the most important person in your life. Satan is not, He is your swore enemy and will do whatever it takes to get you off your path to Jesus Christ. Jesus beat Him by paying the ultimate price for death and our sins on the cross. So that we don't have to worry about sin ever again. We have access to Jesus all the time. Anywhere and Anytime.This is why I wanted something more in my life, something that I can do for others by using my gifts and abilities. To help someone in need, to teach something new, to go the distance, To Change lives, and to do his Will. As for me and my Family and the places we live, We will serve the lord.
Why Jesus Turned Water into Wine and Still Does by Gabriel Schultz Pdf
John, the writer of the gospel of John, writes as though he were a reporter in that he uses four of the five Ws (when, what, where, and who) that journalists are taught to use in their articles. However, he does not tell us why, which is the missing W. The questions are as follows: Why did Jesus get involved? Why did the wedding happen on the third day? Why was this wedding special as to warrant Jesuss involvement? Why in Cana of Galilee, of all places? Why was Mary there? Why did Jesus intervene by turning water into wine? If you want answers, youre holding them in your hands.

Jesus in History, Legend, Scripture, and Tradition [2 volumes] by Leslie Houlden,Antone Minard Pdf
This multifaceted work contextualizes Jesus in religion and culture by bringing together articles on folklore, history, literature, philosophy, popular culture, and theology. Many books have been written about Jesus, but this two-volume work takes a different approach than most. What sets it apart is that it emphasizes Jesus' lasting impact on world history and his legacy in the imagination over 2,000 years. Written as an introduction, the encyclopedia is equally suitable for Christians who wish to better understand the history and philosophy of their religion and for non-Christians who wish to grasp Christianity in its historical and social contexts. Alphabetically arranged entries cover representations of Jesus in the bible and the writings of key theologians, examining the essentials of philosophical and religious views across history. The set also includes hundreds of entries that reflect on the role Jesus has played in popular culture and contemporary vernacular religion—perspectives that are not usually placed alongside theology. Through the encyclopedia, students will see how artists, writers, philosophers, church figures, and others have imagined Jesus and been influenced by their perceptions of him. At the same time, primary documents will encourage students to compare and contrast ideas and evaluate arguments that have arisen over 20 centuries.
Jesus in His Own Words: A Layman's Perspective paints a portrait of the central figure in human history, Jesus Christ, using his own words. It seeks to convince the reader that our decision about the person and message of Jesus is the single most important decision we will ever make. The book uses words of Jesus recorded in the Bible, combined with short, lay-friendly explanations that amplify their meaning and context. The book highlights more than 200 key passages (covering more than 300 unique verses), organized into 12 basic categories-such as "His Identity," "His Miracles," "His Death and Resurrection," and "His Teachings on the End Times." Transcending denominational boundaries and thus offering a wide appeal as an essential primer for the skeptic, seeker, and believer alike, the book seeks to help readers of all backgrounds-including those unfamiliar with Christianity and theological jargon-to understand who Jesus is, why he came, and what he taught. Ultimately, the aim is to help fulfill the Great Commission: to make disciples of Jesus from all nations (Matthew 28).

We are not just isolated individuals. Instead, our lives are woven together with others. We have solidarity with other people—the choices one person makes affects the lives of others, for good and for bad. Because much of the pain we endure in life is in the context of relationships, this truth often strikes us as unfair. Why should a child suffer because of the choices of his parents? And on a grander scale, why do we all suffer the curse of Adam’s sin? Why should anyone be judged for someone else’s sin? In Bound Together, Chris Brauns unpacks the truth that we are bound to one another and to the whole of creation. He calls this, “the principle of the rope.” Grasping this foundational principle sheds new light on marriage, the dynamics of family relationships, and the reason why everyone lives with the consequences of the sins that others commit. Brauns shows how the principle of the rope is both bad news and good news, revealing a depth to the message of the gospel that many of us have never seen before.
