A Bíblia Verdade, Relevante ou Conto de Fadas?
by Robert J. Cottle Aline SassonA palavra 'Bíblia' vem das palavras Grega e Latina que significa 'livros' e 'o livro'. A Bíblia é uma coleção de livros assim como um único livro. Milhares de outros livros foram escritos sobre a Bíblia ao longo dos anos. No entanto, este livro não foi escrito sobre a Bíblia, mas sobre o que é a Bíblia. Muito poucos, em qualquer país do mundo, podem negar terem ouvido falar da Bíblia. Muitos milhões afirmarão tê-la lido ou pelo menos um ou dois capítulos, alguns talvez passando o tempo ao escutar um sermão aparentemente desinteressante. Outros fizeram dela seu objeto de estudo para a vida estudando cada palavra contida nela e se aprofundando no significado de cada versículo. Em contrapartida, há alguns que fizeram se único propósito desacreditar a Bíblia. Enquanto outros, que talvez nunca tenham realmente manuseado uma cópia dela, afirmam ser uma completa obra de ficção de relevância zero no mundo de hoje. Este livro não pretende debater em profundidade a existência de Deus ou a evolução na criação dos versículos. Muito já foi habilmente escrito sobre esses assuntos. As intenções do autor são: Demonstrar que a Bíblia é realmente verdadeira e factual. Discutir o que ela realmente é e determinar se é relevante para as nossas vidas hoje.
La Biblia y sus secretos: Un viaje sin censura al libro más vendido del mundo
by Juan AriasUn viaje sin censura al libro más vendido del mundo. La Biblia es la gran novela de la Humanidad, con sus derrotas y sus victorias, su deseo de liberación de todas las esclavitudes y la constatación, al mismo tiempo, de que la vida no es más que un puñado de arena que se escapa, con asombrosa rapidez, por las rendijas del tiempo. Este libro surge del convencimiento de que la Biblia es capaz de «hablar» a todos, y de que quizás aún contenga más secretos de los que imaginamos. Con lenguaje divulgativo y a la vez con rigor cultural, trato de explicar a los lectores -y a mí mismo también- la apasionante historia, desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad, de la más grande epopeya literaria y religiosa de todos los tiempos: la Biblia, el único libro declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad.
Biblical and Classical Myths: Mythological Framework of Western Culture
by Northrop Frye Jay Macpherson"In the 1970s and 1980s, Northrop Frye and Jay Macpherson co-taught at the University of Toronto's Victoria College a very influential course on the history of Western mythology in which Frye focused on the Biblical myths and Macpherson on the Classical. Biblical and Classical Myths attempts to re-create the remarkable synergy of that course, combining Frye's lectures (published only very recently in the Collected Works of Northrop Frye) and Macpherson's popular 1962 textbook, Four Ages: The Classical Myths. Frye's lectures on the Bible, which make up the first half of the book, expound on a wide variety of topics related to Biblical imagery and narrative. In the second half of the book, Macpherson recounts the major Classical myths, exploring their interconnections and their survival in later European traditions. By complementing the Biblical tradition with the Classical, this volume provides a comprehensive introduction to Western mythology. Engaging and accessible, Biblical and Classical Myths represents a unique achievement in scholarship and is an essential volume for students and others interested in literature and cultural studies." (Frye Studies) The late northrop frye was a professor in the Department of English at Victoria College, University of Toronto. jay macpherson is a professor emeritus in the Department of English at Victoria College, University of Toronto.
Biblical and Theological Visions of Resilience: Pastoral and Clinical Insights (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies)
by Christopher C. H. Cook Nathan H. WhiteIn recent years, resilience has become a near ubiquitous cultural phenomenon whose influence extends into many fields of academic enquiry. Though research suggests that religion and spirituality are significant factors in engendering resilient adaptation, comparatively little biblical and theological reflection has gone into understanding this construct. This book seeks to remedy this deficiency through a breadth of reflection upon human resilience from canonical biblical and Christian theological sources. Divided into three parts, biblical scholars and theologians provide critical accounts of these perspectives, integrating biblical and theological insight with current social scientific understandings of resilience. Part 1 presents a range of biblical visions of resilience. Part 2 considers a variety of theological perspectives on resilience, drawing from figures including Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Part 3 explores the clinical and pastoral applications of such expressions of resilience. This diverse yet cohesive book sets out a new and challenging perspective of how human resilience might be re-envisioned from a Christian perspective. As a result, it will be of interest to scholars of practical and pastoral theology, biblical studies, and religion, spirituality and health. It will also be a valuable resource for chaplains, pastors, and clinicians with an interest in religion and spirituality.

Biblical Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction
by Eric ClinePublic interest in biblical archaeology is at an all-time high, as television documentaries pull in millions of viewers to watch shows on the Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant, and the so-called Lost Tomb of Jesus. Important discoveries with relevance to the Bible are made virtually every year—during 2007 and 2008 alone researchers announced at least seven major discoveries in Israel, five of them in or near Jerusalem. Biblical Archaeology offers a passport into this fascinating realm, where ancient religion and modern science meet, and where tomorrow's discovery may answer a riddle that has lasted a thousand years. Archaeologist Eric H. Cline here offers a complete overview of this exciting field. He discusses the early pioneers, such as Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie and William Foxwell Albright, the origins of biblical archaeology as a discipline, and the major controversies that first prompted explorers to go in search of objects and sites that would "prove" the Bible. He then surveys some of the most well-known biblical archaeologists, including Kathleen Kenyon and Yigael Yadin, the sites that are essential sources of knowledge for biblical archaeology, such as Hazor, Megiddo, Gezer, Lachish, Masada, and Jerusalem, and some of the most important discoveries that have been made, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Mesha Inscription, and the Tel Dan Stele. Subsequent chapters examine additional archaeological finds that shed further light on the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, the issue of potential frauds and forgeries, including the James Ossuary and the Jehoash Tablet, and future prospects of the field. Biblical Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction captures the sense of excitement and importance that surrounds not only the past history of the field but also the present and the future, with fascinating new discoveries made each and every season. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Biblical Authority After Babel: Retrieving the Solas in the Spirit of mere Protestant Christianity
by Kevin J. VanhoozerHow the Five Solas Can Renew Biblical Interpretation In recent years, notable scholars have argued that the Protestant Reformation unleashed interpretive anarchy on the church. Is it time to consider the Reformation to be a 500-year experiment gone wrong? World-renowned evangelical theologian Kevin Vanhoozer thinks not. While he sees recent critiques as legitimate, he argues that retrieving the Reformation's core principles offers an answer to critics of Protestant biblical interpretation. Vanhoozer explores how a proper reappropriation of the five solas--sola gratia (grace alone), sola fide (faith alone), sola scriptura (Scripture alone), solus Christus (in Christ alone), and sola Deo Gloria (for the glory of God alone)-- offers the tools to constrain biblical interpretation and establish interpretive authority. He offers a positive assessment of the Reformation, showing how a retrieval of "mere Protestant Christianity" has the potential to reform contemporary Christian belief and practice. This provocative response and statement from a top theologian is accessibly written for pastors and church leaders.
Biblical Authority or Biblical Tyranny?: Scripture and the Christian Pilgrimage
by William CountrymanCountryman becomes the articulator for the 'critical' right, those Christians who profess the Bible's authority, disagree with the fundamentalist's view, but are often at a loss to express, explain, or defend their own convictions.
The Biblical Basis for Modern Science
by Dr Henry M. MorrisFor decades, Henry Morris has been known as a defender of the Christian faith. It's an auspicious title for such a humble man, yet no one can deny that the grasp Morris has on science and faith issues is staggering. In this updated classic, Morris walks the reader through history "real history" by showing the absurdity of evolution. From a wide variety of sciences, including astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, and geology, Morris presents clear evidence that the Bible gives us an astonishingly accurate record of the past, present, and future.
Biblical Basis for Modern Science, The: The Revised And Updated Classic (The Henry Morris Signature Collection)
by Henry MorrisThe Bible is Indeed a Book of Science, Revealed By God. We live in a “scientific age,” and the proliferation of scientific knowledge and the resulting technologies seem almost endless. Scientific discoveries and developments, however, can be a danger as well as a blessing to mankind. The modern world is desperately in need of God’s own wisdom concerning the purpose and meaning of true science. When you move beyond modern assumptions and false preconceptions, the Bible is found to not only reveal a thoroughly modern perspective on the real facts and principles of science but also to provide wisdom and guidance concerning its proper role in human life. Biology is the science of life, and Christ himself is “life.” Geology is the science of the earth, and He is the Creator of the ends of the earth. We also could speak of other sciences, but all must ultimately be ascribed to Christ. True knowledge of any component of His creation must depend ultimately on the knowledge of Christ and His Word. Reveals biblical insights for cosmology, astronomy, physics, thermodynamics, chemistry, geology, paleontology, biology, anthropology, and more Brings to light how scientific and statistical evidence, rationally evaluated, favor God over evolution
Biblical Blaspheming
by Yvonne SherwoodThis book explores the strange persistence of 'blasphemy' in modern secular democracies by examining how accepted and prohibited ways of talking and thinking about the Bible and religion have changed over time. In a series of wide-ranging studies engaging disciplines such as politics, literature and visual theory, Yvonne Sherwood brings the Bible into dialogue with a host of interlocutors including John Locke, John Donne and the 9/11 hijackers, as well as artists such as Sarah Lucas and René Magritte. Questions addressed include: - What is the origin of the common belief that the Bible, as opposed to the Qur'an, underpins liberal democratic values? - What kind of artworks does the biblical God specialise in? - If pre-modern Jewish, Christian and Islamic responses to scripture can be more 'critical' than contemporary speech about religion, how does this affect our understanding of secularity, modernity and critique?

Biblical Counseling for Today (Swindoll Leadership Library)
by Jeffrey WatsonIn his preface to this challenging book Jeff Watson describes biblical counseling as "a noble adjective married to a nervous noun."Believers are wise to be skeptical of much that is done in the name of counseling in secular settings. Even under the umbrella of "Christian counseling," one has heard horror stories of cases where God's Word has been misused. But Jeff Watson makes a strong case in this volume for the legitimacy of marrying "biblical" and "counseling."Christian counselors, says Watson, need to cultivate three fundamental skills in their patients:How to tell their stories;How to choose their goals wisely; andHow to practice changes in their lives.Watson helps counselors achieve these goals by drawing on the interactions of Christ, the commands of Scripture, and the actions of the apostles and prophets. Thus he marries counseling and biblical principles.To those of us who are called on to counsel on any level, Charles Swindoll says, "This book will become an invaluable tool for you. I urge you to let it become your manual for proper counseling."
The Biblical Counseling Movement: History And Context
by David Arthur PowlisonBeginning in the late 1960s, a biblical counseling movement sought to reclaim counseling for the church and provide a Christian alternative to mainstream psychiatry and psychotherapy. The Biblical Counseling Movement: History and Context is an informative and thought-provoking account of that movement. This historical account combines careful scholarship with a unique, eyewitness insight. This book is an invaluable resource for those who want to understand the biblical counseling movement. The core chapters were originally a Ph.D. dissertation in history of science and medicine (University of Pennsylvania). This new edition adds a lengthy appendix, containing articles by Dr. Powlison that give an analysis of developments within the biblical counseling movement and in its relationship to evangelical psychotherapists.
The Biblical Counseling Movement after Adams
by Heath Lambert David PowlisonThose inside and outside of the biblical counseling movement recognize growing differences between the foundational work of Jay Adams and that of current thought leaders such as David Powlison. But, as any student or teacher of the discipline can attest, those differences have been ill-defined and largely anecdotal until now. <P><P> Heath Lambert, the first scholar to analyze the movement’s development from within, shows how refinements in framework, methodology, and engagement style are changing the face of the biblical counseling movement as we know it―producing a second generation of counselors who are increasingly competent to counsel. Find out how the biblical counseling movement has changed and improved and how the present-day leadership differs from the leadership of the past, in a respectful effort to evaluate and advance the efficacy of biblical counseling.
Biblical Creationism (The Henry Morris Signature Collection)
by Dr Henry MorrisTHE DOCTRINE OF CREATION DOESN’T REALLY MATTER…OR DOES IT? The history of creation is sprinkled all throughout Scripture, not just described in Genesis 1 and 2. The same goes for the Flood account in Genesis 6–9. But why does this matter? Dr. Morris shows that piecing together all these bits of scriptural information reveals how badly the secular world has misinterpreted the scientific evidence. The doctrine of creation is so foundational to the Christian worldview, and this book helps us understand why. This study strives to convince Christians everywhere that they must abandon all compromise theories of creation and return to the simple Genesis record of supernatural, six-day creation. Recognize that biblical authors accept creation and the Flood as true history Discover how Scripture supports a recent creation and a global Flood Examine the impossibility of evolution
Biblical Creationism
by Henry M. Morris IIICritics of the doctrine of creation often attempt to marginalize the great truths of God's creative acts. The reality, however, is that creation is mentioned in each of the Bible's 66 books. This is one of the great ignored truths of the modern Church. Far from being a trivial issue, or one that can be interpreted many different ways, God's record of creation displays a marvelous and clear consistency throughout. From the symphony of the creation week in Genesis, to the promise of a new heaven and a new earth in Revelation, the Bible speaks of a recent, six-day creation of the universe. A respected scholar, the late Dr. Henry M. Morris spent over six decades studying God's Word, and his commentaries enriched the faith of many. In this remarkable book, Dr. Morris examines both the famous creation account in Genesis, as well as lesser-known references, such as Ezra and Colossians. Biblical Creationismis a devastating response to the Bible's critics.
Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture
by Christopher WatkinA bold vision for Christians who want to engage the world in a way that is biblically faithful and culturally sensitive.In Biblical Critical Theory, Christopher Watkin shows how the Bible and its unfolding story help us make sense of modern life and culture.Critical theories exist to critique what we think we know about reality and the social, political, and cultural structures in which we live. In doing so, they make visible the values and beliefs of a culture in order to scrutinize and change them.Biblical Critical Theory exposes and evaluates the often-hidden assumptions and concepts that shape late-modern society, examining them through the lens of the biblical story running from Genesis to Revelation, and asking urgent questions like:How does the Bible's storyline help us understand our society, our culture, and ourselves?How do specific doctrines help us engage thoughtfully in the philosophical, political, and social questions of our day?How can we analyze and critique culture and its alternative critical theories through Scripture? Informed by the biblical-theological structure of Saint Augustine's magisterial work The City of God (and with extensive diagrams and practical tools), Biblical Critical Theory shows how the patterns of the Bible's storyline can provide incisive, fresh, and nuanced ways of intervening in today's debates on everything from science, the arts, and politics to dignity, multiculturalism, and equality. You'll learn the moves to make and the tools to use in analyzing and engaging with all sorts of cultural artifacts and events in a way that is both biblically faithful and culturally relevant.It is not enough for Christians to explain the Bible to the culture or cultures in which we live. We must also explain the culture in which we live within the framework and categories of the Bible, revealing how the whole of the Bible sheds light on the whole of life.If Christians want to speak with a fresh, engaging, and dynamic voice in the marketplace of ideas today, we need to mine the unique treasures of the distinctive biblical storyline.
Biblical Criticism in Early Modern Europe: Erasmus, the Johannine Comma and Trinitarian Debate.
by Mcdonald Grantley RobertMedieval western theologians considered the Johannine comma (1 John 5:7-8) the clearest biblical evidence for the Trinity. When Erasmus failed to find the comma in the Greek manuscripts he used for his New Testament edition, he omitted it. Accused of promoting Antitrinitarian heresy, Erasmus included the comma in his third edition (1522) after seeing it in a Greek codex from England, even though he suspected the manuscript's authenticity. The resulting disputes, involving leading theologians, philologists and controversialists such as Luther, Calvin, Sozzini, Milton, Newton, Bentley, Gibbon and Porson, touched not simply on philological questions, but also on matters of doctrine, morality, social order, and toleration. While the spuriousness of the Johannine comma was established by 1900, it has again assumed iconic status in recent attempts to defend biblical inerrancy amongst the Christian Right. A social history of the Johannine comma thus provides significant insights into the recent culture wars. Gives the first detailed account of the debate over the textual basis for the doctrine of the Trinity, from the sixteenth to the twentieth century Shows how biblical philology was not simply the preserve of scholars, but was a subject of broad social interest in the early modern period, with serious political implications Provides rich philological detail in an accessible style
Biblical Epics in Late Antiquity and Anglo-Saxon England: Divina in Laude Voluntas
by Patrick McbrineBiblical poetry, written between the fourth and eleventh centuries, is an eclectic body of literature that disseminated popular knowledge of the Bible across Europe. Composed mainly in Latin and subsequently in Old English, biblical versification has much to tell us about the interpretations, genre preferences, reading habits, and pedagogical aims of medieval Christian readers. Biblical Epics in Late Antiquity and Anglo-Saxon England provides an accessible introduction to biblical epic poetry. Patrick McBrine’s erudite analysis of the writings of Juvencus, Cyprianus, Arator, Bede, Alcuin, and more reveals the development of a hybridized genre of writing that informed and delighted its Christian audiences to such an extent it was copied and promoted for the better part of a millennium. The volume contains many first-time readings and discussions of poems and passages which have long lain dormant and offers new evidence for the reception of the Bible in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages.
