DOWNLOAD EBOOKFollowing his father's classic work CHURCH DOGMATICS, Markus Barth considered the doctrine of the Lord's Supper, which, had not received a full treatment. His work resulted in an exegesis of the Lord's Supper texts in the Synoptics, the Fourth Gospel, and the Pauline letters. His perspective sees the Lord's supper and its accomanying Agape meal as a symbolic event that allows God's people to commune in an atmosphere that remains open to all, including the Jews, whose Passover continues to shed light on this sacrament. His presentation covers the Lord's Supper, Passover, the relationship of Christians and Jews, and the participation of children in communion. He challenges the definitions of Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry as expressed in the Lima Document, offering one of the most sharply stated alternatives available. His discussion provides a reexamination of the Lord's Supper as a symbol of ecumenism--the opportunity for all God's people to celebrate together. This approach makes an important ecumenical contribution to understanding the Lord's Supper from a New Testament perspective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the passage to modernity we in the West have lost the ability to see things whole. We've closed our minds to all things transcendent and default to unbelief, and can't make sense of the persistent echoes of the voice of God that reverberate in our souls. In Rediscovering God's Grand Story, James Roseman picks up the strands of science, philosophy, history, the arts, and theology, and reweaves the tapestry to see a coherent story that makes the best sense of the world and provides real meaning and significance to our lives--God's Grand Myth. We see that the signals of transcendence that confound our culture of doubt are a universal language and vocabulary of the heart echoing the voice of God; and in the very Judeo-Christian story we so readily jettison is found the Author enabling us to see the world whole again. This essay tells why the story and promise of Christianity is so hard to hear today but won't go away. Could it be that, as T. S. Eliot wrote in the mid-twentieth century, "at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time"?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRediscovering Jesus, is a book about taking a fresh new look at the claims of this amazing historical figure name, Jesus Christ. I say this in all humility but honestly, I believe in my experience over the last 32 years of being a Christian and working with churches, that the church has many misconceptions about who Jesus is. When you do not have a proper understanding of the Bible as a Christian, then your foundation will be faulty. You cannot build a house to last for generations on a faulty foundation. I have taken an apologetic approach to writing this book. Apologetics can be defined as a defense of the Christian faith. Apologetics is giving a rational presentation for and providing the intellectual basis of the truth claims of biblical Christianity. I wanted to give the reader enough information where it’s not too academic, but academic enough that you could have a theological, historical, and philosophical understanding, of the claims of Jesus. I pray that this book will give you a revelation and understanding, of the greatest man who ever lived, Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus is fully God and fully man. The purpose of this book is to show the evidence that you will know and consider that Jesus is truly the Son of God. And that you may receive him as your Lord and Savior. In this critical time in our history the only answer to true freedom and liberty is by, “Rediscovering Jesus” the true Savior of the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDid you know that the Christmas story almost wasn't told? But Matthew and Luke saved Christmas. Have you wondered if Christmas is really a pagan holiday? Did marketers invent Santa Claus? And what does a Christmas tree have to do with anti-slavery? We'll learn which traditions come from the Bible and where other traditions derive. Have you ever considered who Jesus was named after? Or why Jesus's genealogy is traced to Joseph if he's not Jesus's biological father? We'll answer questions like these surrounding Jesus's legacy. Maybe you've asked what was the Bethlehem star? Or have you heard that there wasn't an inn or innkeeper? With these kinds of inquiries, we'll look at the circumstances surrounding Jesus's birth. Do we know if the magi were kings, astrologers, or magicians? Or could you name the oldest person that met baby Jesus? By interacting with these people who met Jesus on that first Christmas, we'll join the cast of characters around the manger. As we explore the stories and traditions of Christmas together, we'll ruin some past misconceptions, but in the process, I promise that we'll rediscover Jesus.
