The six ‘sherds’ contained here – whether fragments of a novel, or short stories, or what you will – cover a good deal of ground, from a highly apocryphal tale of an errant young Jesus to a tattooist’s caper in Polynesia, stopping off in Renaissance Venice and England at the time of Queen Elizabeth I (with the Royal personage herself making a revealing appearance). These disparate pieces are united by the eternal pursuits of love, desire and the quest for a higher power, all wrapped up in the author’s highly individual prose style, which contrives to be at once cynical and Olympian. ‘From the stables and pastures of Andrew Motion, the late Max Harris, David K. Wong, and Sid Stebel, comes the author, so shall ye read.’ – John Lawson
At the time of his death in the autumn of 2017, Robert W. Jenson was arguably America's foremost theologian. Over the course of a career spanning more than five decades, much of Jenson's thought was dedicated to the theological description of how Scripture should be read-what has come to be called theological interpretation. In this rapidly expanding field of scholarship, Jenson has had an inordinate impact. Despite its importance, study of Jenson's theology of scriptural interpretation has lagged, due in large part to the longevity of his career and volume of his output. In this book, all of Jenson's writings on Scripture and its interpretation have been collected for the first time. Here readers will be able to see the evolution of Jenson's thought on this topic, as well as the scope and intensity of his late-period engagement with it. Where other twentieth-century thinkers rely on non-theological, secular methods of scriptural investigation, Jenson is willing to let go of "respectability" for the sake of a truly Christian theological interpretation. The result is a genuinely free, intellectually invigorating exercise in reading and theory from one of the greatest theologians in the last century.
It’s the Gospel of John, but it doesn’t sound like the version you’re used to reading! Fred Lynch, a former rapper who has spent years working in churches with students like you, has taken John to a whole new level. And now, as you listen along to this spoken word translation of the book of John, you’ll find yourself hearing God’s Word in a way like never before. The Script is a devotional that allows you to listen to the Gospel of John on CD-ROM as Fred speaks it from his heart, then look into your own heart as you spend time interacting with God’s Word through creative exercises, as well as prayer and journaling. Unlike other devotionals that exist only on paper, The Script will engage your senses, along with your mind, heart, and soul. You’ll see (and hear) the book of John in a way you never imagined—and you may even find God’s Word a little easier to memorize when it’s offered to you as the poetry Fred has created it to be. Includes CD-ROM.
Way of Life: Not Religion is a book about freedom. It explains how we might get hung up in bondage without realizing it. Then we wont enjoy the happiness, contentment, and peace that were meant for us. Sometimes man uses the rituals and rules of religion instead of searching for the truth. (Satan loves this.) This freedom that I have makes me smile a lot. Im sure people wonder what Im up to. A lot of times we try to earn our way to God, but then we feel guilty and sad because we just cant be as good as we want to be. We try so hard, and then as we begin reading the Scriptures, the truth will come to us.
I'm Sorry, God, written by Shera Hastings, is a must-read book about her riveting testimony on how Jesus Christ came into her life and saved her, which resulted in her being radically changed from a worldly, carnal thinking so-called Christian to a devout servant of the Most High King, Jesus Christ! Read how she was able to obtain the free gifts of grace, salvation, and redemption by truly repenting from willfully sinning and idolatry. Nevertheless, she acknowledges her faults to God by not only apologizing for all her sins, but she goes even further by apologizing for what our ancestors did to our beloved Savior, all while undergoing heavy spiritual warfare. She includes an open letter to God in atonement and in great reverence of his grace and mercy in addition to disclosing how the Holy Spirit revealed the one true all-encompassing doctrine. All of this information is for educational purposes only in order to help others build a relationship with our precious and magnificent Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6) And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, "Fear not; I am the First and the Last. I am He that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death." (Revelation 1:17-18) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10-11)
