Reading Scripture in the Fellowship of the Spirit by Trevor Reynolds Pdf
How does the Holy Spirit guide the Christian community in its custodianship and interpretation of Scripture? How does the fact that the Spirit is characterized by koinonia impact upon this task? In light of this, do we read Scripture with too much of an individualistic mindset? In this new book, Dr Trevor Reynolds addresses these questions, seeking answers primarily from within Scripture itself. He explores in depth what Jesus and the New Testament community taught concerning the interpretive role of the Holy Spirit. How did they interpret Scripture, with the help of the Spirit? He highlights their corporate/Spirit-led hermeneutic, with its challenge to our individualistic approaches. The New Testament writers interpreted the Old Testament in a way that revealed communal methods of interpretation. These were informed by Jewish pneumatic and corporate solidarity notions, as reshaped by Jesus’ own Spirit-given example and legacy. In this book, New Testament extracts are discussed which contain either specific examples of how Old Testament Scripture is interpreted by members of the New Testament community, with the Spirit’s help, or speak of the Spirit’s work of interpretation in a more general way. Trevor Reynolds seeks to uncover their implications for biblical hermeneutics, as well as for the doctrine, use and custodianship of Scripture in the life and witness of the church today. The book concludes by pointing to the wide-ranging implications that reading Scripture in the fellowship of the Spirit poses for today’s church.
Fellowship with God in Spirit and Truth by William H. Mulder Pdf
This is the final book in the three book "Fellowship" series and contains a comprehensive glossary that covers the subject material in all three, which is a great help to pastors, Bible study teachers or group leaders, as well as the individual reader, to find related texts and their explanation. A unique feature of these books is that each chapter is independent of the others so study can be selected at random to grow in understanding of God's word according to the need of the class or reader. One reason for texts next to the subjects being studied is to emphasize that all insights explained are not just an opinion but can be confirmed by a biblical search into the deeper truths of God's revelation to us with the Holy Spirit as our guide (1 Cor. 2:1-13). Read the comments in the foreword list. William H. Mulder The author from his earliest childhood memory believed in Jesus and took a public stand for Christ in his late teens. The urge to write was there in early youth and resulted in a published nature story at age thirteen. Many poems followed but writing slowed while raising and providing a good home and a Christian education for seven children. But when Israel became a nation again in 1948, in response to questions asked by others, he wrote in essay form Bible based answers about many things. These typed handouts, some fifty years old, but now updated to be relevant for today, provide the basis for all the Fellowship series. As a former deacon, elder and as a trained evangelist he challenges everyone to build their Christian faith on biblical truth. These books help you find them.

Sexual and Marital Metaphors in Hosea, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel by Sharon Moughtin-Mumby Pdf
Sharon Moughtin-Mumby considers the often unrecognised impact of different approaches to metaphor on readings of the prophtic sexual and marital metaphorical language. She outlines a practical and consciously simplified approach to metaphor, placing strong emphasis on the influence of literary context on metaphorical meaning. Drawing on this approach, she read Hosea 4-14, Jeremiah 2:1-4:4, Isaiah, Ezekiel 16 and 23, and Hosea 1-3 with fresh eyes. Her lucid new readings reveal the way in which scholarship has repeatedly stifled the prophetic metaphorical language by reading it within the 'default contexts' of 'the marriage metaphor' and 'cultic prostitution', which for so many years have been simply assumed. Readers are encouraged instead to read these diverse metaphors and similes within their distinctive literary contexts in which they have the potential to rise vividly to life, provoking the question: how are we to respond to these disquieting, powerful texts in the midst of the Hebrew Bible?

FELLOWSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT by Abraham Peters Pdf
"And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven." Luke 24:49 New Living Translation What is the greatest promise God ever made? Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.(Acts 2:15-21) For all the blessings God has ever given to mankind the Holy Spirit remains one of the most integral and important.
