Meditations on the Letters of Paul by Herold Weiss Pdf

Since the rise of modern biblical scholarship there has not been unanimity as to how to characterize Paul. Did he deliver Christianity from Judaism? Did he invent Christianity? The answers to these questions are contentious. "Paul has been praised for having delivered Christianity from Judaism. Lately it has been argued that he remained so thoroughly a Jew that he was not a Christian at all. Others think he became a Christian because he had become a totally frustrated Pharisee by his failure to observe the law of Moses. Some consider him to have been a male chauvinist with few redeeming qualities. Others see in him a messianist with masochistic tendencies. Some think he was a conceited authoritarian who had no patience with the views of others. For a time it was popular to see him as a mystic who wished to lose himself by being in Christ. It has been said that, as one concerned with the life of the Spirit, he saw reason as the enemy of faith and required his converts to sacrifice the intellect on the altar of submission to authority. "All these are, at least in part, reactions against the prevailing picture of him as the one who laid the foundation for the doctrines of righteousness by faith and the God of grace on which the Protestant Reformation was built." -- Dr. Herold Weiss, from the introductionWith this beginning, the reader is invited into a Bible study with Dr. Weiss that will not be just an exegetical exercise but will, more importantly, be a personal journey into the Messiah's gospel that Paul so fervently shared throughout the known world of his time and continues to share in our day. Be forewarned that you may find yourself spending more time than you counted on as you truly meditate on the words and the spirit of Paul's letters. This book is valuable as a resource both for learning about Paul and his letters and for practicing biblical theology, which is often difficult to do well. Herold Weiss is a master.

The Gospel According to St. Paul by Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini SJ Pdf

Pope Benedict XVI has proclaimed a year dedicated to St. Paul, beginning on June 29, 2008. Readers can celebrate the “Year of St. Paul” by praying through this unique collection of meditations by renowned biblical scholar and retired archbishop of Milan, Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini. In simple and moving language, Martini weaves together St. Paul’s life, character, and teachings in such a way that we come to know the apostle as a human being with the same hopes and struggles that we have. At the end of each chapter, Cardinal Martini leads us through a series of questions to help us reflect on our own lives in light of St. Paul’s experiences. The depth and significance of St. Paul’s New Testament teachings—and their relevance to our lives today—come to light in these meditations, most of which are being published in English for the first time.

Deeper Still by Ron Brookman Pdf

Using Lectio Divina, or Biblical Meditation, Deeper Still works through Paul's letter to the Ephesians, from beginning to end. The Scripture, being the Word of God, enables the reader to meet the Living Word, Jesus Christ, in His written Word. Biblical meditation takes a slow look at the text, enabling nuances and deeper meaning to be seen. Deeper Still offers guided meditation, verse by verse through Ephesians, using the format, Read, Reflect, Respond, Rest. Photographs enhance each meditation. The format is holistic, engaging body, soul and spirit. To commence, breathing exercises are suggested, to slow and relax the body. The 'Read' section engages the mind. Reflections open the heart, or feelings. Responding engages the will. The 'Read, Reflect, Respond' aspects of the rhythm of meditation involve the soul: mind, heart and will. Finally, the Rest phase invites the reader/meditator into deeper contemplation. 'Rest', engages the spirit, where the reader simply sits, letting the power of the Word encountered, work in them.

My Meditations on St. Paul by Rev. Fr. James E. Sullivan Pdf

With My Meditations on Saint Paul, follow in the missionary footsteps of Saint Paul from Damascus to Rome. Father James Sullivan begins each daily devotional with a scene from Acts of the Apostles or the Epistles of Saint Paul. Filled with rich historical and personal details describing the thoughts and feelings that a disciple must have experienced, Sullivan places you in the midst of the early Christians who heard the words of Saint Paul. This pocket-sized devotional gives you everything you need to walk with and learn at the feet of the Saint Paul, including: • Intimate, personal reflections on the words and acts of Saint Paul • Heartfelt prayers, echoing the same prayers and petitions of the great convert and evangelizer • Detailed maps chronicling Saint Paul's extensive missionary journeys (p. 557-560) • A timeline of St. Paul's life both before and after his dramatic conversion (p. 563-564) • And much more... After Christ's death and resurrection, Paul became the first Apostle to preach His Good News to non-Jews (Gentiles). This is generally considered the most decisive moment in Church history and Saint Paul was at the center of that moment. Now, you can travel with Saint Paul on his missionary tours, learn at his feet, and discover how to bring the teachings of Christ to your world. A portion of the proceeds from every purchase of this Confraternity of the Precious Blood title go directly to The Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood in Brooklyn, NY to support them in their vocation.

Living Abundantly by Larry Woodruff Pdf

In the beginning of the fifth book of the New Testament, The Acts of the Apostles, the followers of Jesus experience living abundantly (John 10:10). The risen Christ brings a momentous opportunity to His followers. He gives them a promise (the power of the Holy Spirit) and a challenge (to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth). The rest of The Acts of the Apostles describes how Peter, John, Paul and others became witnesses to Christ to the ends of the earth. They accepted the promise and obeyed the challenge to discover the meaning of living abundantly with the Lord Jesus. The Letters of Paul and the other letters of the New Testament continue to explore how the promise and challenge of the risen Christ bring abundant life to us today. The Revelation to John completes the promise of our Savior. Living Abundantly is a collection of short meditations that cover the entire text of the second half of the New Testament.
