The Vision Behind the Verses by Michael Bagby,Michael Bagby, Dds, PhD Pdf

It is the most published book in history and often the most misunderstood. The Bible claims to be the inspired "God-Breathed" relevation to mankind of God Himself, His Character, His Creation, and His Plan for Mankind. Yet many do not regard this book as "inspired" nor as historically accurate. Michael Bagby is a historian, Naval Aviator, coffee roaster, and the director of a school project in Nicaragua that is in its third decade. Michael tells of his own journey from believing the Bible to be nothing more than mythology and philosophy to agreeing with many prominent historians and scientists that the Bible is what it claims to be. In the process, Michael shares many concepts of understanding the Bible within its cultural, historical, geographical, political, and textual context. He also explored the meanings of key Hebrew and Greek words that enhance the richness of the Biblical Text. Michael and his wife Laura are the founders of the Rio Coco Cafe ministry, with coffee stores on the island of Utila Honduras and in Vero Beach Florida, They along with their four children Mikaela, Lukas, Arielle, and Moselle operate a thriving outreach/business that is providing funding for their eight schools and 1700 students in Nicaragua.

Mystic Verses by M Teresa Clayton Pdf

bwhardcopy She is a seer, a visionary, a mystic. Her writing is not only creative, clever and captivating, she is also a brilliant poet. Her Mystic Verses are entertaining on the surface, however, once you begin to peel away the layers, you will find the real alchemy within her rhymes. She is eerily cabalistic, a strangely esoteric embodiment of the ethereal, this Delphic Oracle of Oracles who is possessed with a knowledge of past, present and future that defies ""reason"" (as she so aptly identifies the problem with mankind)."" You've read Nostradamus and his visionary quatrains - Casey and his in-trance visions - and there are many more who channel or communicate with entities on the other side. M Teresa Clayton is our contemporary catalyst. She listens, discusses, then writes the messages in pristine verse like no other. Truly mystical. Place Nostradamus, Casey into the mind of Poe and you have a much clearer understanding of M. Teresa Clayton

Interpreting Habakkuk as Scripture by G. Michael O'Neal Pdf

This book draws together two current issues in Old Testament study: canonical analysis and the minor prophets. G. Michael O'Neal applies the canonical approach of Brevard S. Childs to the book of Habakkuk, resulting not only in an evaluation of Childs's method, but also providing new insights into the canonical shape and theological message of Habakkuk. The findings of textual, historical, literary, formal, and redactional criticisms inform the study. However, O'Neal goes beyond these findings to ascertain the canonical shape of Habakkuk and to illustrate how this shape informs an understanding of the book's theological message.

Sikh Scripture by Harinder Singh Mehboob Pdf

In the history of world religions, as a Sikh it is my belief that there is no other book on world religions that clarifies the areas of revelations and also their limitations in their manifestation on the variety of life and how they justify to establish a real history according to the new concepts of the writer. The fear of death, jealousy, and prejudice are very natural to such religions that lack the blessings of a prophet. With comparison to a complete revelation upon this globe as the Sikh Gurus and their continuous manifestations in life with unselfish kindness and sublimity of martyrdom in variety of horrible trials through our Gurus and Khalsa, which is illumined by the word in book and word in flesh of Gurus, no other religion can compete with it. The greater holy wars of Sikh Gurus and Khalsa are unsurpassable in holy wrath and immeasurable mercy in the history of world religions with comparison to especially the greater holy wars of Islam.

Religious Experience and the Creation of Scripture by Mark Wreford Pdf

This volume examines the reasons that prompted the New Testament writers to create the texts which would become the formation of the Christian religion, exploring the possibility that certain religious experiences were understood as revelatory, and consequently inspired the writing of texts which were seen as special from their inception. Mark Wreford uses Luke-Acts and Galatians as test-cases within the New Testament, reflecting both on the stated importance of religious experiences – whether the author's own or others' – to the development of these texts, and the status the texts claim for themselves. Wreford suggests that Luke-Acts offers a helpful example of the relationship between religious experience and the creation of Scripture, as an extensive narrative which reflects on early Christian claims to Spirit-inspired witness and which begins with an explicit authorial statement of purpose. Similarly, in Galatians, Paul's autobiographical account of God's revelation of Christ to him is the foundation of a letter that is intended to play an authoritative role in shaping its addressees' own faith and practice. Wreford argues that religious experiences are presented as the driving force behind the creation of the texts, examining how such religious experience links with notions of scripture and canonicity. He then asserts that both Luke and Paul understood themselves to be creating new scriptural writings on the basis of their relationship to new religious experiences, citing the experience and speech at Pentecost, the inclusion of gentiles in the experience, and Paul's own conversion experience as key elements behind the self-understanding of these New Testament authors.

Abraham (Ancient-Future Bible Study: Experience Scripture through Lectio Divina) by Stephen J. Binz Pdf

Ancient-Future Bible Study incorporates contemporary study of the Bible with an experience of the church's most ancient way of reading Scripture, lectio divina. This time-honored practice consists of five basic movements: biblical study (lectio), reflection (meditatio), prayer (oratio), discernment (contemplatio), and contemplative action (operatio). In six clearly written volumes, bestselling author Stephen Binz helps readers study the Bible in a way that leads to spiritual transformation and brings them closer to God. Binz leads readers in a vivid study of key biblical characters, including Abraham, Paul, Peter, David, the women of the Torah, and the women of the Gospels. He shows all Christians who desire to have a transforming experience with the inspired Word of God how studying Scripture through lectio divina can enrich their discipleship. This ecumenical Bible study, designed for use by individuals or groups, includes questions for personal reflection and suggested action. Each volume includes leader's notes for guiding a study over the course of six sessions.
