Book excerpt: “If we want to understand what God was telling John about the future, we need to first understand what John understood.” —Professor Jon Paulien, Loma Linda University, USA In Jesus—The Portrait and Inscription of God, the author pours his years of research into addressing the issue that Jon Paulien highlights. Paki builds an intriguing case for a dual-focused method of interpreting Revelation. He uses this method to show (i) that Revelation was written primarily to John and his initial audience, (ii) that the same prophecies also speak to us with clarity and force. (iii) Then he wonders if God intentionally used the same material to speak to an audience, then and now. When this method is applied to Revelation 1–3, the text does come alive. Deep theological truths and nuggets extracted are way too many to recount in a single book. In fact, this fresh approach minimizes most of our interpretive issues and enhances our understanding and appreciation of the apocalyptic Christ. Some of our leading scholars agree: “It is well-written, well laid out, and has good solid biblical insights. … Good solid evidence for Revelation’s high Christology.” —Dr. Kayle de Waal, Avondale College, Australia “I found it thoughtful, helpful, and interesting to read. The style of presentation … is also very attractive.” —Professor Jon Paulien, Loma Linda University, USA “You have clearly shown the relationship between Revelation 1-3 with the rest of Revelation.” —Dr. Ross Cole, Avondale College, Australia The method used, its interpretations, and the theological insights are corroborated by other Johannine books, the New Testament, the Old Testament, and the Spirit of Prophecy. This volume will enhance the libraries of academics and laypeople alike.

This new edition adds historical context to the portraits of Jesus as each document is somewhat shaped by historical factors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John's Gospel is best known for its presentation of Jesus as the Word of God made flesh. But as the narrative unfolds, readers discover that the identity of Jesus is surprisingly complex. He is depicted as a teacher, a healer, a prophet, and Messiah. He is Jewish and Galilean, a human being who is Son of Man and Son of God. Portraits of Jesus in the Gospel of John considers each of these roles in detail, showing how each makes a distinctive contribution to the Gospel's rich mosaic of images for Jesus. John's multifaceted portrait of Jesus draws on a broad spectrum of early Christian traditions, and the contributors to this collection of essays explore the ways in which these traditions are both preserved and transformed in the Fourth Gospel. The writers draw us more deeply into the questions of the way in which traditions about Jesus developed in the early church and how the Gospel of John might contribute to our understanding of that dynamic process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Christians worldwide, the man Jesus of Nazareth is the centerpiece of history, the object of faith, hope, and worship. Even those who do not follow him admit the vast influence of his life. For anyone interested in knowing more about Jesus, study of the four biblical Gospels is essential. The second edition of Four Portraits, One Jesus has been updated throughout to meet the needs to today's students. It is a thorough yet accessible introduction to the four biblical Gospels and their subject, the life and person of Jesus. Like different artists rendering the same subject using different styles and points of view, the Gospels paint four highly distinctive portraits of the same remarkable Jesus. With clarity and insight, Mark Strauss illuminates these four books addressing the following important areas: First he addresses the nature, origin, methods for study, and historical, religious, and cultural backgrounds of the Gospels. He then moves on to closer study of each narrative and its contribution to our understanding of Jesus, investigating things such as plot, characters, and theme. Finally, he pulls it all together with a detailed examination of what the Gospels teach about Jesus' ministry, message, death, and resurrection, with excursions into the quest for the historical Jesus and the historical reliability of the Gospels. This textbook together with its workbook, video lectures, and laminated sheet gives students everything they need for a thorough and enriching study of Jesus and the Gospels.

Book excerpt: "PORTRAITS OF CHRIST contains fifty-two illuminating devotional studies of names and titles given to Jesus Christ in the Old and New Testaments. The individual 'portraits' are divided into four groups according to their Biblical context: The Prophecy--prophetically ascribed titles; The Advent--names associated with Jesus' coming; The Person-- the 'I ams' or self-ascribed titles; and The Ministry--names and titles associated with Jesus' life and work. Together, they cover the complete Biblical spectrum of references to Jesus." --|cFrom dust jacket front flap.
