The Allure of Gentleness by Dallas Willard Pdf

The revered Christian author whose bestselling classics include The Divine Conspiracy and The Spirit of the Disciplines provides a new model for how we can present the Christian faith to others. When Christians share their faith, they often appeal to reason, logic, and the truth of doctrine. But these tactics often are not effective. A better approach to spread Christ’s word, Dallas Willard suggests, is to use the example of our own lives. To demonstrate Jesus’s message, we must be transformed people living out a life reflective of Jesus himself, a life of love, humility, and gentleness. This beautiful model of life—this allure of gentleness—Willard argues, is the foundation for making the most compelling argument for Christianity, one that will convince others that there is something special about Christianity and the Jesus we follow.

Matthew 1-13 by Manlio Simonetti,Thomas C. Oden Pdf

The Gospel of Matthew stands out as a favorite biblical text among patristic commentators. The patristic commentary tradition on Matthew begins with Origen's pioneering twenty-five-volume commentary on the First Gospel in the mid-third century. In the Latin-speaking West, where commentaries did not appear until about a century later, the first commentary on Matthew was written by Hilary of Poitiers in the mid-fourth century. From that point, the First Gospel became one of the texts most frequently commented on in patristic exegesis. Outstanding examples are Jerome's four-volume commentary and the valuable but anonymous and incomplete Opus imperfectum in Matthaeum. Then there are the Greek catena fragments derived from commentaries by Theodore of Heraclea, Apollinaris of Laodicea, Theodore of Mopsuestia and Cyril of Alexandria. The ancient homilies also provide ample comment, including John Chrysostom's ninety homilies and Chromatius of Aquileia's fifty-nine homilies on the Gospel of Matthew. In addition, there are various Sunday and feast-day homilies from towering figures such as Augustine and Gregory the Great, as well as other fathers. This rich abundance of patristic comment, much of it presented here in English translation for the first time by editor Manlio Simonetti, provides a bountiful and varied feast of ancient interpretation of the First Gospel.

The Gospel of Matthew by Rudolf Schnackenburg Pdf

From ancient times the Gospel of Matthew has been regarded as the "church Gospel" its aims are preeminently catechetical, pastoral, and missionary. But recent research raises many questionsregarding Matthew's creation, theological intentions, and shapingfor the circle of its first recipients. This highly original commentary by Rudolf Schnackenburgfollows Matthew chapter by chapter and verse by verse, carefullyexplaining and interpreting the text against both its primitive andcurrent horizons. Schnackenburg sees Matthew's purpose as simply"the proclamation of Christian salvation". His commentary givesextra attention to the great discourses of Jesus found in Matthew (such as the Sermon on the Mount), showing how Jesus' wordsand works have special currency for the self-understanding of thechurch and for the task of Christian living today. Written by a master exegete with a pastor's sensitivity, thiscommentary will fast become a classic study of Matthew's Gospel.

Mary by Kevin Perrotta Pdf

There aren’t many stories of Mary in the Gospels, but the stories we do have tell us more about Mary and her relationship with both Jesus and us than we probably realize. In Mary: Jesus’ Mother—and Ours, Six Weeks with the Bible series editor Kevin Perrotta looks closely and thoughtfully at six key episodes in the Gospels in which Mary figures prominently, including the angelic announcement of Jesus’ birth to Mary, the wedding in Cana, and the crucifixion of Jesus. In addition to the Gospel stories themselves, Perrotta provides essential facts on the culture and context in which each episode is set, as well as additional information on Mary that comes from Church Tradition. While Mary: Jesus’ Mother—and Ours can be used by individuals engaging in private Scripture reading, it is an ideal resource for group Bible study. Each session contains many helpful questions for discussion, and a group prayer experience concludes each session. A “How to Use This Guide” section at the start of the book makes it easy for even a novice to serve as group facilitator. For all who are interested in deepening their understanding of and relationship with Mary, this book is sure to serve as an excellent starting point. The Six Weeks with the Bible series of Bible discussion guides offers both in a concise six-week format. Whether focusing on a specific biblical book or exploring a theme that runs throughout the Bible, these practical guides in this series provide meaningful insights that explain Scripture while helping readers make connections to their own lives.
