“A Journey Through The Old Testament” SUMMARY: For many Christians the Old Testament is daunting and confusing. The books are long and speak about a culture dramatically different form our own. This wonderful book by Elmer L. Towns, “A Journey Through the Old Testament” does not substitute for reading the Old Testament, but Mr. Towns has provided a wonderful “journey” in understanding the people of the Old Testament and a view of the Coming Messiah. His works speak to the intellect as well as to the heart of how God prepared the world in His image – and His hope for mankind.
And finally, the concept or skill that I did not find particularly useful and why. Firstly, there were several concepts and skills that I found to be most meaningful during this “Interpreting the Bible” course. The process that I feel meant the most to me and my walk was called the four steps of the “Interpretive Journey”. This was a process of basic understanding of how to grasp what the biblical author is saying in the text. Applying this process throughout the assignments was invaluable to my understanding as a Christian.
Running Head: The Inspiration and Inerrancy of the Bible The Bible was Inspired by God Robert Surface Student # L23603038 Liberty University The Bible is the authoritative source of God’s Word to two hundred and forty seven million people throughout the United States who claim to be Christians. However, to accept the Bible as authoritative we must also accept the answers to more general questions in relationship to the Bible.

We will discuss inspiration and the definition of inerrancy. In detail we will discuss the relationship between inspiration and inerrancy.
Expound on how the many barriers that attempted to keep the character from fulfilling his worldview were overcome and finally I will elaborate on my own reaction to the movie. The worldview represented in The Book of Eli is that the main character, Eli allowed his faith guide him on his journey for the purpose that he set out to complete by delivering the Bible to those who would protect and preserve in an effort to save humanity for years to come. In giving insight on the movie, Eli has imparted on a quest travelling across the land to deliver a copy of a book to a secure location. The movie setting is reminiscent of a post- apocalyptic era. A voice speaks to Eli and tells him to set out on his expedition.

LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Charles Spurgeon and the Obstinacy of the Will Submitted to Dr. David Kitchens, Professor in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the completion of SEMI 500 LUO (fall 2014) Introduction to Seminary Studies by Kris N. Rheingans November 16, 2014 Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………1 Influential Experiences…………………………………………………………………..2 Biblical and Theological Foundations…………………………………………………..3 Personal Application of Theology....................................................................................4 Conclusion..........................................................................................................................5 Bibliography.......................................................................................................................6 Introduction Charles Haddon Spurgeon is one of the great minds and powerful proclaimers of the Gospel in the Church Age. However, the years leading to Spurgeon’s conversion were wrought with a profound intimacy with the doctrinal idea of total depravity of mankind. This and other influential experiences, Spurgeon’s biblical and theological foundations, and his personal applications of theology are the focus of this study. The author will, with the support of Spurgeon’s words, prove that without being drawn by Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, man does not have the personal will to come to Christ because of his depraved nature. Influential Experiences The purpose of God through the life of Charles Spurgeon was effectual from the very beginning.
Due to the fact that this book indeed deals with the historical roots of Pentecostalism, Dayton has the prerequisites to write this well informed and objective work. After reading the work, it is obvious that Dayton intends this book to be read by an academic audience. If one is not familiar with Pentecostal faith or doctrine, the text is difficult to grasp.

To the majority of the laity, this would not be desired knowledge unless one expressed a keen interest in the subject.

“The Moral Man”: Crucible Essay “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to know the difference.” Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr was a Protestant theologian who was known as the moral man in an immortal society. Niebuhr is most famous for his efforts to relate Christianity to the politics and diplomacy of today. Not only do his words relay indefinitely into that of the lives of the characters in the crucible, but his own personal beliefs make him an avid participant in a witch hunt being the main focus of Miller’s book. And so the question comes about: What does it truly mean to be a moral man? It could easily be described as someone who is willing to take serious risks to defend their beliefs, but that is too shallow of an answer, barely scathing the surface.
