Romans and Christian Worldview Bible 425-B05 3/1/2015 Because of Paul, the book of Romans teaches us about so many aspects of the Christian life. Paul’s letter was not meant to be a systematic theology, but rather a letter presentation of the Gospel. The book of Romans covers a wide variety of topics that are essential for followers of Christ to live by. The topics creation, sin, salvation, eschatology, ethics, and theology are the key points found in Paul’s letter, and understanding each is key to the growth of every believer’s relationship with God. CREATION On the first topic, creation, Paul teaches in Romans 1:19-20 that the world was spoken into existence by God.
Book Review #1: Truesdale Are you interested in a book that puts Wesleyan theology and Fundamentalism side by side, comparing the different aspects of both, as well as some minute similarities? If so, then this is the book for you. The book, Square Peg: Why Wesleyans Aren’t Fundamentalists, by Al Truesdale, touches on two different types of believing and following Christ. Fundamentalism takes on a more serious approach, focusing on the scripture of the bible giving it a much more analytical feel, as it focuses on the words of God. It gives great emphasis to the chronological order of the words of God and takes the written words as a whole, using each and every word literally to support your walk with God.
Two Lesson Approaches for Teaching the Bible (MWGYW and HBLT) DSMN 601 LUO (Spring 2012) Ministry of Teaching Instructor: Brad Reynolds Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary Homer Edwards (ID# L24414690) March 3rd, 2013 Teaching is a challenging attempt, but it is also a blessing being able to able to teach a lesson based around scripture. It was an opportunity to do just that, using two different approaches to teach. One based on a model from Andy Stanley's book Communication for a Change and the other from Gary Bredfeldt and Lawrence O. Richards called Creative Bible Teaching. I learned different techniques from the these approaches. The approach from the Creative Bible Teaching book called the “Hook, Book, Look, Took” was the first approach I had used in teaching a passage from the Bible.
Jessie Moore Essay Outline: Placher CSBS 1311.06 Outline I. Placher begins his argument stating that the Bible is true and he will prove his statement correct by finding an another way of explaining how the Bible is true compared to how other believers try to explain. A. Placher’s first minor claim is if we say the Bible is true, then what the Bible means is true as well. He argues that we must comprehend the Bible’s genres, recognize the attitudes toward the narrating of details in history, and think about the social perspective that the Bible was written in to understand the truth about the Bible. 1. Placher states that the genre is important for understanding the meaning of the Bible because different genres make different truth claims.
This statement bring us back to the original question, which is the title of his essay, "Is the bible true?". From his statement I deciphered and created an answer to the question. Yes, the bible is true, but it depends on how you read and decode the text. Placher used examples from past literatures and links them back to examples in the bible to establish his point. One of the numerous examples was David McCullough's biography of Harry Truman and Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist.
The Invisible War DONALD GREY BARNHOUSE The Invisible War : Preface The Invisible War DONALD GREY BARNHOUSE Preface Two features of the ministry of the late Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse made his witness unique: his tremendous insight into Scripture, and his remarkable ability to bring the truths he gleaned from his study to the Christian layman in such a way as to make the Bible come alive. Those who have heard Dr. Barnhouse teach, and those who have read his writings, can testify that this is true. In this series of studies on The Invisible War, Dr. Barnhouse explored a theme rarely touched upon by students of the Bible: the great conflict which exists in the spirit realm. Although almost entirely unrecognized by mankind, this warfare affects, in one way or another, the life of every person on earth and especially the life of the child of God. Dr. Barnhouse traces the vast spiritual conflict back to the period before the beginning of Time and, step-by-step, follows its unfolding to the final battle of wills at the end of Time.
Conversion should be the beginning of a lifelong effort of study. However, in order to benefit from Bible study, we must know how to study the Bible properly. The purpose of this lesson is to present basic Bible principles and methods of proper study. We will consider proper attitudes in study, Bible inspiration, a comparison of the old and new laws, and the danger of following human laws and authority instead of Scripture. Finally, we will give some suggestions about proper use of such helps as translations, concordance, and cross-references.
This ultimately will cause people to gain a strong sense of present and future identity. “A Journey Through the Old Testament” has a peculiar approach of an analysis of spiritual principles and practical applications at the end of each chapter which create a great atmosphere to look at the history makers and find a modern message for today’s world. Dr. Towns crafted his book in that the first half deals mostly with the stories of the patriarchs from Genesis, while the other half focuses on stories of the kings of Israel and Judah mostly from 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings and 1 & 2 Chronicles. Four of the Major Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel and 3minor prophets Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi are well incorporated in the book.
Isaiah’s purpose was to address the need of purification, using a message that met the needs of both rich and poor and by using examples and descriptions that made sense. Isaiah was a passionate spokesperson that advocated to “Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless and plead the cause of the widow”(Isaiah 1:17) This spread his message clearly and effectively throughout the kingdom. His Job was very important; it was to call Jewish people back to the morality and rule of law that God required, reminding them the covenant God made with Abraham. Acknowledging that Isaiah was the greatest prophet, his faith, trust and forcefulness contributed to the development and expression that impacted the religion of Judaism.
