This comment by a friend led author Frank Abissi to delve into the concept of Lordship in ancient times. In this work, he discusses the practice of patronage, particularly in Ancient Rome. Examined in detail are the accounts of Ruth and Boaz in the Old Testament and Onesimus and Philemon in the New Testament. Finally, the author discusses patronage as it relates to the believers relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the authors hope that this work helps to deepen the personal relationship of the believer with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ephesians is the pinnacle of revelation to the church and the great prayer of Ephesians is the section upon which the Epistle draws its spiritual power. The prayer demonstrates to the church what the power of God is and why the church needs this power. It is here that the church discovers the strength of God and at the center of all is the Love of God. The love of God is explained in a simple and succinct manner in this section of the New Testament. The purpose of this book is to help you understand in a deeper way the truth of God’s Word as it is presented to the Christian believer. The Great Prayer of Ephesians is part two of a series on the epistle Ephesians. Part one delves into the seven doctrinal passages in Ephesians chapters one through three. The final part will present the seven practical treatises in the second half of the Epistle.

This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul’s Language of Grace in Its Graeco-Roman Context was originally published by Mohr Siebeck in 2003 and is now reprinted by Wipf and Stock with a new introduction by its author, James R. Harrison. The book was the first major investigation of charis (‘grace’, ‘favor’) in its social, political, and religious context since G. P. Wetter’s pioneering 1913 monograph on the topic. Focusing on the evidence of the inscriptions, papyri, philosophers, and Greek Jewish literature, Harrison examined the operations of the eastern Mediterranean benefaction system, probing the dynamic of reciprocity between the beneficiary and benefactor, whether human or divine. Before Paul’s converts were first exposed to the gospel, they would have held a variety of beliefs regarding the beneficence of the gods. The apostle, therefore, needed to tailor his language of grace as much to the theological and social concerns of the Mediterranean city-states in his missionary outreach as to the variegated traditions of first-century Judaism. In terms of human grace, although Paul endorses the reciprocity system, he redefines its rationale in light of the gospel of grace and transforms its social expression in his house churches. The explosion of ‘grace’ language that occurs in 2 Corinthians 8–9 regarding the Jerusalem collection is unusual in its frequency in comparison to the honorific inscriptions, underscoring the apostle’s distinctive approach to giving. Regarding divine beneficence, Paul accommodates his gospel to contemporary benefaction idiom. But he retains a distinctiveness of viewpoint regarding divine charis: it is non-cultic; it is mediated through a dishonored and impoverished Benefactor; it overturns the do ut des expectation (‘I give so that you may give’) regarding divine blessing in antiquity. Harrison’s book still remains the authoritative coverage of the Graeco-Roman context of charis.

Book excerpt: Widespread unemployment. Record home foreclosures. A vulnerable stock market. Government bailouts. In the wake of a sobering global recession, many Christians realize they need to rethink their approach to money. Here respected New Testament scholar Ben Witherington III explores what the Bible does--and doesn't--say about money. He clearly and concisely examines what Jesus and his earliest followers taught about wealth and poverty, money and debt, and tithing and sacrificial giving to help readers understand the proper role of money in modern Christian life. Along the way, he critiques the faith promise and health-and-wealth approaches to these issues, showing what good stewardship of God's possessions really looks like. Church study groups, pastors, church leaders, students, and all who are concerned about making sense of money in a world of economic uncertainty will value this book.

This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of early Christian identity was a dynamic process in which social boundaries were drawn but also transcended. The source documents of Christianity bear witness to the process and dynamics involved in the construction of insiders and outsiders - determining who is to be included and who excluded. In the super-diverse and super-mobile time in which we live, identity boundaries are often drawn. This volume explores not only New Testament and Early Christian texts to investigate these dynamics, but also how contemporary ideology can shape the reading of scripture to exclude or include others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the thirteenth century a young Dominican friar, Jacobus de Voragine, compiled the book that came to be known as the Legenda aurea, a collection of medieval lore about the saints and holidays of the church. Through the centuries this noted book has had a conspicuously uneven reputation: enormous popularity in the late Middle Ages, a precipitous decline during the Renaissance, and a gradual rehabilitation in the modern era. Sherry L. Reames's study of the Legenda aurea offers the first comprehensive account of the book's history and of the qualities that differentiate it from earlier and less controversial works about the saints. The fresh perspective introduced by this study will provide new insights and challenge old myths for historians, literary critics, theologians, and students concerned with medieval culture and hagiography.
