Virus as a Summons to Faith: Biblical Reflections in a Time of Loss, Grief, and Uncertainty By Walter Brueggemann
2020 | 92 Pages | ISBN: 1725276739 | PDF | 1 MB
Why bother with the interpretive categories of biblical faith when in fact our energy and interest are focused on more immediate matters? The answer is simple and obvious. We linger because, in the midst of our immediate preoccupation with our felt jeopardy and our hope for relief, our imagination does indeed range beyond the immediate to larger, deeper wonderments. Our free-ranging imagination is not finally or fully contained in the immediacy of our stress, anxiety, and jeopardy. Beyond these demanding immediacies, we have a deep sense that our life is not fully contained in the cause-and-effect reasoning of the Enlightenment that seeks to explain and control. There is more than that and other than that to our life in God's world!

Sabbath in the Making: A Study of the Inner-Biblical Interpretation of the Sabbath Commandment By Ottilia Lukacs
2020 | 351 Pages | ISBN: 9042940530 | PDF | 2 MB
The ancient institution of the Sabbath which has persisted throughout the centuries and to this very day defines the identity, religious and cultural practices of the Jewish community. This study aims to offer a more accurate description of the literary and redaction history of the Sabbath commandments in the Bible from the perspective of the inner-biblical interpretation, and to understand the theological and intellectual endeavour of scribes, who were responsible for the different redactional layers. Hence, the Sabbath commandments are presented against the time span of 'exile and return' spread over the Neo-Babylonian and Persian periods. In the final part, the Sabbath is discussed as identity marker: How did it function as identity marker, self-understanding and self-definition of the exiled Judean group? What was the role of the Sabbath day in the identity building strategies of the biblical authors in general? How is this perception reflected by the Sabbath commandments?

David Schnasa Jacobsen, "Mark: Fortress Biblical Preaching Commentaries"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 0800699238 | PDF | pages: 253 | 1.5 mb
David Schnasa Jacobsen draws together the strengths of two exegetical approaches to the Gospel of Mark in this volume of the Fortress Biblical Preaching Commentaries series. Jacobsen takes a broad thematic approach to the first Gospel, while at the same time giving exegetical and homiletical insights about individual pericopes in their narrative context. By helping preachers and students make connections between the various lections from Mark throughout Year B in their sermons and studies, they and their parishioners will have a deeper appreciation of Marks unique interpretation of the Christ Event and how that influences their approach to living the Christian faith in todays world.

David G. Peterson, "Encountering God together : Biblical patterns for ministry and worship"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 1844748820 | EPUB | pages: 143 | 0.4 mb
I am often disturbed or disappointed by what I experience when I "go to church",' says David Peterson. 'At first glance the issues seem to be practical... Mostly, however, these practical failings seem to reveal a poor understanding of why we gather, little awareness of how to lead a gathering effectively, and an inadequate grasp of what we should expect from our time together.' In response, Peterson offers this accessible and stimulating exposition, intended to help everyone involved in planning and leading church services think more biblically and creatively about this important ministry. Our ultimate aim should be to honour and glorify God as we take our part in the edification of his church. 'We encounter God by listening to what he has revealed to us in Scripture and by responding to the work of his Son, as the gospel directs. The gift of his Spirit enables us to minister his truth to one another and to take our part in the building of his church. In biblically informed singing, in reading and reflecting on the Bible together, in biblically driven prayer and praise, and in sharing the Lord's Supper together, God confronts us with his character and will for us and makes it possible for us to submit to and serve him appropriately in every area of our lives.'
