New Testament Theology

Sempre que leio os comentários bíblicos de Calvino me surpreendo com a profundidade e com a relevância de suas análises. Fico ainda mais surpreso ao saber que, mesmo diante de inúmeras descobertas arqueológicas e dos mais importantes e atuais avanços nas pesquisas bíblicas, o texto de Calvino continua provocando, instruindo e libertando as mentes para o entendimentodas verdades de Deus.

Revelation: Disarming the Most Dangerous Book in the World presents overwhelming evidence, both from history and scripture, that the events of Revelation have all been fulfilled and have no direct relevance to anyone living today. Part one details the troubled history of John's Revelation and the ways in which lives have been destroyed by the misapplication of this dangerous book. Part two is a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the Book of Revelation, explaining its mysterious symbols in the light of Old Testament prophecy.

Faustus was undoubtedly the acutest, most determined and most unscrupulous opponent of orthodox Christianity in the age of Augustin. The occasion of Augustin’s great writing against him was the publication of Faustus’ attack on the Old Testament Scriptures, and on the New Testament so far as it was at variance with Manichæan error.

A marca mais impressionante de Calvino, no seu comentário a 2 Coríntios, é a de pastor. Ele, com humildade e firmeza, se identifica com Paulo, tanto na agudeza dos espinhos, para maior experiência da graça que lhe bastava, quanto à alegria do triunfo a que Deus lhe conduzia para melhor exaltar a fragrância de Cristo.

A soma de quase todo nosso conhecimento - que se deve julgar de fato como verdadeiro e sólido conhecimento - se compõe de duas partes: O conhecimento de Deus e o conhecimento de nós mesmos. Como, porém, essas duas formas de conhecimento se entrelaçam com muitos elos, não é fácil, entretanto, discernir qual delesvem primeiro e dá origem ao outro. Por outro lado, é notório que o homem jamais chega ao puro conhecimento de si mesmo, se antes não contemplar a face de Deus e, da visão de Deus, descer ao exame de si mesmo.

Know Why You Believe is a thinking person's audiobook designed to help you carefully examine the claims of the Christian faith.

Your freedom is not a feeling it is a fact. The Verdict Is In: Condemnation is OUT.

Jesus is coming! The marvelously heartwarming theme of Paul’s two electrifying epistles to the Thessalonian believers is a stirring, rejuvenating communiqué of vibrant hope, one they desperately needed to hear. In today’s post nine-11 world, where we seemingly lurch from crisis to crisis, this is a message we'd do well to take on board. In Hope and Glory, Sam Gordon takes the listener verse-by-verse through a careful study of these two epistles and communicates a vibrant message of hope for Christians of all ages.

In Resurrecting Justice, theologian Douglas Harink invites listeners to rediscover Romans as a treatise on justice. He traces Paul's thinking on this theme through a sequential reading of the book, finding in each passage facets of the gospel's primary claim - that God accomplishes justice in the death and resurrection of Jesus Messiah. By rendering forms of the Greek word dikaiosyne as "just" or "justice", Harink emphasizes the inseparability of personal, social, and political uprightness that was clear to Paul but is obscured in modern translations.

Originally written for Jewish converts to Christianity, the book of Hebrews describes the many ways Jesus and the religion of Christianity fulfilled and surpassed the elements and practice of the Jewish faith.

"Paul's Letter to the Galatians & Christian Theology" conference was held at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland from July 10-13, 2012. This book contains articles by theologians, scholars, and pastors who presented their research at the very important theological conference on the book of Galatians.

Long before the followers of Jesus declared him to be the Son of God, Jesus taught his followers that they too were the children of God. This ancient creed, now all but forgotten, is recorded still within the folds of a letter of Paul the Apostle. This ancient creed said nothing about God or Christ or salvation. Its claims were about the whole human race: there is no race, there is no class, there is no gender. Followers of Jesus proclaimed: "You are all children of God. There is no Jew or Greek, no slave or free, no male and female, for you are all one."

This book offers a close reading of Romans that treats Paul as a radical political thinker by showing the relationship between Paul's perspective and that of secular political theorists. Turning to both ancient political philosophers (Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero) and contemporary post-Marxists (Agamben, Badiou, Derrida, and Žižek),

Remarkable Hope reveals a pattern of hope where individuals were surprised by Jesus in drastic ways after they placed their hope in him and were-at first-disappointed. Their stories show his work was rarely what they anticipated. As we observe Christ's faithful commitment to these Biblical characters who hoped in him, we are wowed by his unseen plan. We are comforted by his orchestration of circumstances and revived by his enduring presence. Remarkable Hope helps us gladly declare, like the apostle Paul, that "our hope does not disappoint us."

Our world is charged with both the grandeur of God and the void of his absence. The seven deadly sins are the force causing that hole. They are at work in each of us. They decimate our relationships, our souls, and our world. These deadly sins often seem pleasing and good for gaining what we desire, but they are thoroughly poisonous. Conversely, the Beatitudes are Jesus' pictures of a restored creation.

A man rose from the dead! You just don’t get any more awesome than that, right? So that’s it, then. That’s what we are supposed to learn from his resurrection, right? Not exactly. Jesus performed lots of miracles. John said it best when he said that there would not be room in the whole world to describe all that he did. It’s easy to look at the stories of miracles and see them for what they’re worth: miracles. But that’s a shame. If the miracle is in the Bible, there’s a reason for it. It’s not just there because it was miraculous.
