Redaction criticism attempts to identify biblical authors' theological interests by examining their adaptation of sources. Focusing on representative studies of Jesus' disciples in the Gospel of Mark, this pioneering book by C. Clifton Black has become the standard evaluation of that method's exegetical reliability. Comprehensively reviewing recent scholarship, Black identifies three distinctive types of redaction criticism in Markan interpretation. He demonstrates that diverse redaction-critical interpretations of the disciples in Mark have bolstered rather than controlled scholarly presuppositions to a degree that impugns the method's reliability for interpreting Mark. The book concludes by assessing redaction criticism's usefulness and offering a more balanced approach to Mark's interpretation. This second edition includes a substantial, detailed afterword that revisits the book's primary issues, converses with its critics, and provides an update of Markan scholarship over the past twenty-five years.

How can we transmit a living, personal Catholic faith to future generations? By coming to know Jesus Christ, and following him as his disciples. These are times of immense challenge and immense opportunity for the Catholic Church. Consider these statistics for the United States. Only 30 percent of Americans who were raised Catholic are still practicing. Fully 10 percent of all adults in America are ex-Catholics. The number of marriages celebrated in the Church decreased dramatically, by nearly 60 percent, between 1972 and 2010. Only 60 percent of Catholics believe in a personal God. If the Church is to reverse these trends, the evangelizers must first be evangelized-in other words, Catholics-in-the-pew must make a conscious choice to know and follow Jesus before they can draw others to him. This work of discipleship lies at the heart of Forming Intentional Disciples, a book designed to help Church leaders, parish staff and all Catholics transform parish life from within. Drawing upon her fifteen years of experience with the Catherine of Siena Institute, Sherry Weddell leads readers through steps that will help Catholics enter more deeply into a relationship with God and the river of apostolic creativity, charisms, and vocation that flow from that relationship for the sake of the Church and the world. Learn about the five thresholds of postmodern conversion, how to open a conversation about faith and belief, how to ask thought-provoking questions and establish an atmosphere of trust, when to tell the Great Story of Jesus, how to help someone respond to God's call to intentional discipleship, and much more. And be prepared for conversion because when life at the parish level changes, the life of the whole Church will change.

“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Theophylact Bulgarian is revered by the Church as an outstanding theologian, church writer. He is known to a wide range of people as an interpreter of the New Testament scripture . About the day and even the year of birth of Theophylact of Bulgaria, we can not say with certainty. According to various evidence and estimates, very approximate, his date of birth is determined by the period from 1050 to 1060. The future bishop Feofilakt was born on the island of Euboea, probably in the city of Chalkis. From the historical information that has come down to us, it is known that he had the surname Ifest. Apparently, he received a good education in his youth. He studied at Constantinople, the country's greatest cultural, political and educational center. It is believed that one of the teachers who greatly influenced the formation of the worldview of Theophylact as a theologian was a famous thinker, Mikhail Psell . “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” Look: no one is justified without labor and sorrow. Therefore, the gates leading to the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Lord called narrow and tight (see Matt. 7, 13 ), that is, full of oppression. But not everyone who encounters tightness or sorrow, but sorrow because of faith in God, introduces into the Kingdom of Heaven.
