DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs is well known, there are various versions of the Bible. But what is perhaps more important to understand is that the various versions of the Bible are the result of the work of thousands of unknown and unknowable persons who worked over several millennia on the text of various written records in different languages. Biblical authorities and scholars who have studied and interpreted these texts usually arrive at a consensus of a correct, or nearly correct, version of the biblical text. Accepting that today’s biblical texts result from studied consensus of the texts of the Bible, From Eden to Golgotha offers interpretations and suggested understandings that challenge and/or contradict standard and accepted interpretations. Some examples: Why did God select the Jews as his chosen people? Is there a basis for the universal condemnation of sex? Of divorce? Did God conclude he made a mistake in creating mankind? Having foretold millennia ago the fate of the Jewish people, does history down to this day document his foretelling? How much of Jesus’ examples and teachings have been ignored by those who today flaunt their “Christianity”? Has G. K. Chesterton’s insight that “it’s not that Christianity has been tried and failed. It’s that Christianity has never been tried” been proven true?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Old Testament has two great themes: creation and covenant. They embrace subthemes: wisdom in the case of creation; Israel's religion and the Davidic covenant under the general umbrella of covenant; and internationalism, which mostly develops the theme of covenant and partly the theme of creation. These topics cluster around a common center: Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament. This God is portrayed in different roles, which have attached to them role expectations for both Yahweh and those with whom he assumes relationship. Through contextual exegesis of key texts, we come to understand these roles and associated themes. While the Old Testament has its own distinctive contributions to make to divine revelation, much of its material is reused in the New Testament to explain and validate the New Testament message. By concentrating on the Old Testament, we learn to appreciate the enormous debt the New Testament owes to the Old in clarifying New Testament theological and moral perspectives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWithin the last forty years, scientific discoveries and knowledge about our universe contain unprecedented theological implications. They imply that the creator exists, more so than ever before. These discoveries have developed a worldview that challenges both theologians and scientists to engage in a mutually fruitful dialogue. From Creation to Re-Creation uniquely presents God’s accomplishments as author Daniel Lazich transports himself to a time when authors wrote creation narratives to depict the contrast between the ancient epics and biblical narrative. It forcefully asserts that the creation of this world and humankind was accomplished by the Creator, who loves humanity selflessly. This assertion is backed by the most advanced study and research concerning our universe’s nature. Lazich writes that the final observer in quantum cosmology and God in the Bible are the same. From Creation to Re-Creation employs unprecedented theological implications to assert that the creator’s existence is necessary for the universe and humankind in it to exist.
