Paul and the Resurrection of Israel Jews, Former Gentiles, Israelites


Free Download Jason A. Staples, "Paul and the Resurrection of Israel: Jews, Former Gentiles, Israelites"
English | ISBN: 1009376764 | 2024 | 350 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The gospel promoted by Paul has for many generations stirred passionate debate. That gospel proclaimed equal salvific access to Jews and gentiles alike. But on what basis? In making sense of such a remarkable step forward in religious history, Jason Staples reexamines texts that have proven thoroughly resistant to easy comprehension. He traces Paul’s inclusive theology to a hidden strand of thinking in the earlier story of Israel. Postexilic southern Judah, he argues, did not simply appropriate the identity of the fallen northern kingdom of Israel. Instead, Judah maintained a notion of ‘Israel’ as referring both to the north and the ongoing reality of a broad, pan-Israelite sensibility to which the descendants of both ancient kingdoms belonged. Paul’s concomitant belief was that northern Israel’s exile meant assimilation among the nations – effectively a people’s death – and that its restoration paradoxically required gentile inclusion to resurrect a greater ‘Israel’ from the dead.

Theologian of the Resurrection N.T. Wright’s Eschatology and Mission Theology


Free Download E J David Kramer, "Theologian of the Resurrection: N.T. Wright’s Eschatology and Mission Theology "
English | ISBN: 9004701850 | 2024 | 344 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In this study, N.T. Wright’s exceptional work on the resurrection is shown to form the centre of his eschatology and mission theology. Wright’s emphasis on the historicity of Jesus’ resurrection for the gospel’s missional encounter with the West is highlighted. By drawing out the significance of the resurrection for Wright’s eschatological narrative, the author sets the stage for Wright’s mission theology, focusing on the church, evangelism, political theology, and eschatological ethics. Wright’s emphasis on doing history is explained in terms of the theological conviction that, since God acted in history, historical study has become a sphere of missional engagement.

The Reconstruction of Resurrection Belief


Free Download Peter Carnley, "The Reconstruction of Resurrection Belief"
English | ISBN: 1532667558 | 2019 | 350 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
In the companion volume to this, The Resurrection in Retrospect, Peter Carnley focuses on the inadequacies for faith in Jesus Christ of an approach to his resurrection purely as an event of past historical time. The Reconstruction of Resurrection Belief articulates an alternative understanding of resurrection faith as essentially a response of trust based upon a knowledge by acquaintance with the living presence of Christ today. This book seeks to articulate an understanding of the nature of resurrection faith in the language of today, with as much logical coherence as possible, in the hope that it may have some traction in the increasingly secular world of contemporary scientific materialism. It faces the key challenge of seeking to explain how the claim that the animating Spirit of the Christian community that Saint Paul spoke of as ""the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus"" (Rom 8:2) may be justifiably identified in faith today as ""the living presence of Jesus of Nazareth.""

The Resurrection of God Incarnate

English | 2003 | pages: 172 | ISBN: 0199257469, 0199257450 | PDF | 1,0 mb
Whether or not Jesus rose bodily from the dead is perhaps the most critical and contentious issue in the study of Christianity. Until now, scholars have concentrated on explicit statements in the New Testament to support their views, but Richard Swinburne argues for a wider approach, asking instead whether the character of God and the life of Jesus support the probability of the Resurrection. His book will be of great interest not only to academics but to anyone with an interest in religious philosophy and doctrine.

The Resurrection [Audiobook]


Free Download The Resurrection (Audiobook)
English | January 13, 2009 | ASIN: B001PNLKBY | M4B@64 kbps | 16h 52m | 460 MB
Author: Leo Tolstoy | Narrator: Simon Vance
Leo Tolstoy stands tall among the great Russian novelists of the 19th century. Tolstoy based Resurrection, the last of his novels, on a true story of a philanderer whose misuse of a beautiful young orphan girl leads to her ruin. Fate brings the two together many years later, and the meeting awakens the man’s moral conscience. Anger, intimacy, forgiveness, and grace result.
While the situation of Tolstoy’s Description is alien to most people, his nuanced treatment of mortal life is familiar to all. Later in his life Tolstoy confessed that he earlier had seduced two young girls for his pleasure. Perhaps his own deeds and their horrible consequences motivated him to write this novel with special passion. It is a particularly moving tale.
