From Jewish Prophet to Gentile God by Maurice Casey Pdf

Based on the 1985 Cardbury Lectures delivered at the University of Birmingham, England, this book describes and explains the origins and development of New Testament christology. Using both original sources and established and recent scholarship, Casey presents a convincing argument to support his christological framework. He traces the evolution through the Pauline epistles and the Gospels of the historical figure of Jesus, the Aramaic-speaking Jew, to his identification as Jesus Christ, the Messiah and Son of God. The declaration of his deity in John's Gospel is related to the Gentile self-identification of he Johannine community. This is the first book in the field of Christian origins to make serious analytical use of the concept of identity. It includes new discussion and explanation of early Christian belief in the Resurrection, the Virgin birth and other elements of Christian dogma. Lucid and cogently organised. this book's conclusions are both logical and startling. Casey's work represents a major advance in the study of christology.

Seeking After God by Wayne Talbot Pdf

The author has a fascination with God. His belief stems from an earlier study of science and logic concluding that a transcendent, infinite entity is the most probable cause of our existence. The same study convinced him that God is One, and that he should ignore polytheistic religions in his search for understanding. A study of the Quran revealed it to be a mixture of Jewish, Christian, and pagan beliefs, and thus unlikely to be an authentic depiction of God. A deeper study of Christian history, the contradictions and implausible narratives in the New Testament, and the Old Testament variances from the earlier Hebrew Scriptures, convinced him to walk away from the Christianity of his earlier years. All this he has written about in his previously published works. Now he had but one choice: to understand what Judaism has to say about God. For this he sought the opinions of earlier Jewish scholars - Maimonides, Rabbi Ibn Ezra, Hasdai Crescas, and others, and more modern commentators, Hirsch, Kook, and most especially Rabbi Nathan Lopes Cardozo, in the title of whose book, “Jewish Law in Rebellion”, he found a kindred spirit, echoing his own rebellion against religions in general. He considers religions to be too complacent, believing that they already know the God Whom the Jews describe as Ein Sof – the Infinite and Unknowable God. The author contends that cannot truly know God, agreeing with Maimonides that we can only describe God in terms of what He is not. Thus, his search continues, believing that God knows the fallibility of the mankind He created, and likely prefers that we seek without finding, rather than in turn, accept vicariously the perceptions of others who have not sought for themselves. Indoctrination has its dangers, whether in ideology, politics, or religion.

Messiah and Exaltation by Andrew Chester Pdf

Andrew Chester focuses on Jewish messianic hope, intermediary figures, and visionary traditions of human transformation, particularly in the Second Temple period, and analyzes their significance for the origin and development of New Testament Christology. He brings together five previously published essays on these themes: these include two long chapters, one on Jewish messianic and mediatorial traditions in relation to Pauline Christology, the other on messianism and eschatology in early Judaism and Christianity, plus one on messiah and Temple in Sibylline Oracles 3-5. Two further essays, on the significance of Torah in the messianic age, and on resurrection, transformation and early Christology, have been extensively revised. There are also three substantial new chapters, all of which engage closely with recent scholarly debate. The first, on the origin of Christology, argues for the significance of Jewish visionary traditions of human transformation for understanding how 'high' Christology came about at such an early stage within the New Testament. The second discusses the complex questions of the definition, scope and nature of Jewish messianism, especially in relation to the Hebrew Bible and the more-recently available Qumran evidence, and their significance for the New Testament. The third is concerned with what Paul means by the 'law of Christ', and the wider issues raised by this.

The Times of the Gentiles Are Fulfilled by Fred Harding Pdf

Middle East History as you have never seen it before with over 200 illustrations to enhance your reading experience across more than 640 pages. This is probably the most historically accurate and comprehensive study of the Times of the Gentiles ever produced. It does not adhere to any theological preferences or make reference to the Book of Revelation, so often used by Christian theologians to support a particular interpretation. Instead, I have followed the historical evidence to where it has led and as a result I have reached some startling and amazing conclusions. If there is any book that the reader should read on this subject it is this one. By the time you have finished reading it you will be in the enviable position to truly appreciate what is happening in the Middle East today and where it is leading to. Today's news stories of the region will now make more sense, and you will see the world with different eyes. This book is written for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike but primarily seen through the eyes of the Jews, because it is they who have been trampled upon by the nations for almost two thousand years, throughout the Times of the Gentiles. This tragedy that has prevailed for this long period of time has been of the Jews own making. Throughout the ages they have been led by a rabbinical elite who have instigated the greatest cover up in history, who even to modified their holy writings, the Tanakh (Old Testament), to cover their tracks. Not only did they know when the Messiah would come but when he did, they conspired to put him to death. So, Yahshua ben Joseph better known as Jesus prophesised against them, condemning the Jews to a long period of Gentile servitude as a precursor to His return. It is against the backdrop of Jerusalem being trampled upon by the nations that we follow the fortunes of the Jews as they were scattered among the nations struggling to understand why God had abandoned them for so long. We see how and why the Jews were temporarily cut off from the blessings of a relationship with God which was given to the Gentiles. We also see how corruption entered the Christian communities so that one Church emerged from the ruins of Rome and changed the simplicity of the Gospel to teach doctrines of demons, including one that would forever be a stumbling block to the Jews. We shall see prophesies and history merge in incredible ways and the words of Jesus and the Hebrew prophets coming alive. They tell of the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple; the coming of the false Messiah, the building of the abomination of desolation where it should not be; the scattering of the Jews to all the nations; how God thwarted the building of the Third Temple several times; the appearance of the Suffering Messiah, the rise of the false Prophet and a Muslim king that entered Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate on a donkey; the sealing of the gate and the attempts to open it continuously foiled; Palestine becoming a desolate wasteland; the gathering of the Jews from the nations by an ungodly Zionist secular government, the creation of Israel in a single day; the link between the Cuban Crisis and end of the Gentile Times, the miracle of the Six-Day war; the recovery of all the lands that had been ancient Israel in former times; the extraordinary events on the Temple Mount in 1967 - and so on. All of which was foretold by the Jesus and the prophets. In fact, what you will read is an extraordinary story, full of twists and turns, in which we see God intervening in human affairs as he ensures that His Divine Plan for the redemption of mankind through his Messiah continues unhindered. Whether you follow Judaism, Christianity or Islam, this is one book that you will not want to ignore.

Christ is God Over All by George Carraway Pdf

Chapter 3 acknowledges and answers objections from outside the biblical text that Paul as a monotheistic Jew would not identify Jesus as God. Similarly, chapter 4 answers objections that Paul would not refer to Jesus as God in Romans 9:5(b) because he does not so identify Jesus elsewhere. Chapter 5 considers the importance of Paul's identification of Christ as the stone of stumbling and the end of the law in Romans 9:30-10:4, especially for how he understood Jesus. Chapter 6 argues that in Romans 10:5-13, Paul understood Jesus as the referent of the one on whom all call for salvation, assigning to Jesus an Old Testament reference to YHWH as the one who could save. Chapter 7 argues there is no separate way of salvation for Israel and that Jesus is YHWH, the redeemer from Zion, which Israel must join Gentiles in recognizing.
