DOWNLOAD EBOOKJustin Martyr’s Dialogue with Trypho is the oldest preserved literary dialogue between a Jew and a Christian and a key text for understanding the development of early Judaism and Christianity. In Between Jews and Heretics, Matthijs den Dulk argues that whereas scholarship has routinely cast this important text in terms of "Christianity vs. Judaism," its rhetorical aims and discursive strategies are considerably more complex, because Justin is advocating his particular form of Christianity in constant negotiation with rival forms of Christianity. The striking new interpretation proposed in this study explains many of the Dialogue’s puzzling features and sheds new light on key passages. Because the Dialogue is a critical document for the early history of Jews and Christians, this book contributes to a range of important questions, including the emergence of the notion of heresy and the "parting of the ways" between Jews and Christians.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume treats the concepts of revelation, truth, canon, and interpretation as four pillars of early Christian theology. Using Justin Martyr as a case-study, his "Dialogue with Trypho" is examined with a view toward discerning how a second century Christian father understands and develops these concepts. Justin's intellectual background is discussed within the nuanced context of Middle Platonism. Particular attention is paid to his use of biblical sources which is grounded in the foundational chapter on revelation in Justin. Justin is placed within the wider context of theological developments in pre-Nicene Christianity, and includes a warning against judging Justin by anachronistic post-Nicene developments.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKShepherd's Notes- Christian Classics Series is designed to give readers a quick, step by step overview of some of the enduring treasures of the Christian faith. They are designed to be used along side the classic itself- either in individual study or in a study group. The faithful of all generations have found spiritual nourishment in the Scriptures and in the works of Christians of earlier generations. Martin Luther and John Calvin would not have become who they were apart from their reading Augustine. God used the writings of Martin Luther to move John Wesley from a religion of dead works to an experience at Aldersgate in which his "heart was strangely warmed." Shepherd's Notes will give pastors, laypersons, and students access to some of the treasures of Christian faith.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBy comparing interpretations of the Hebrew Bible by Jews, Christians, and Gnostics in Late Antiquity, this book provides a unique perspective on these religious movements in Palestine. Rival interpretations of the early Church and the Midrash are set against the backdrop of the pagan critique of these religions and the gnostic threat that grew within both Christianity and Judaism. The comparison of the exegetical works of Christianity and Judaism illuminates the later development of the two religions and offers fresh insight into the Bible itself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn his Apology, Justin Martyr uses some major apologetic strategies to defend Christianity. These are the 'logos doctrine', the 'theft theory', the 'proof from prophecy' and the arguments from demons. David E. Nyström analyses them in order to create a picture of how they work together, rhetorically and literarily, in Justin's grand argument.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSo you've accepted Christ and professed that He is your Lord and Savior. Now what? In this inspiring new book, Rebecca Murzin shows readers that profession of Jesus Christ as Lord is only the first step in a Christian's journey. There is so much more. To begin, to believe in the Lord means to follow him and be obedient to his Word. Many Christians today have fallen away from the Word of God and do not read the Bible for themselves. How can you know God's will if you don't search it out, study it, and meditate upon it? After studying God's Word, it's important to watch what you say; it must align with the Word of God. Religion is in vain if we don't watch what we say. Murzin shows readers they not only must be careful of what they say, but they must watch what they do. While we are not saved by works but by faith, it is faith that drives us to do the works Christ has called us to do. We as Christians have to remember we are not supposed to be doing things the way everyone else in the world does it, and Faith Takes Action will show readers how to do things to successfully walk the Christian's path. Faith Takes Action is a well-done challenge for Christians to fulfill their callings and continue in the will of God. Pastor John and Fran Newman, Higher Ground Ministries Rebecca Murzin lives in Barnstead, New Hampshire, with her husband and three children. Together, they're working on building the Fruit of Life Ministries Christian Retreat Center.
