 Free Download Reading the Way, Paul, and "The Jews" in Acts within Judaism: "Among My Own Nation" (The Library of New Testament Studies) By Jason F. Moraff 2024 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 056771246X | EPUB | 1 MB Jason F. Moraffchallenges the contention that Acts' sharp rhetoric and portrayal of "the Jews" reflects anti-Judaism and supersessionism. He argues that, rather than constructing Christian identity in contrast to Judaism, Acts binds the Way, Paul, and "the Jews" together into a shared identity as Israel, and that together they embark on a journey of repentance with common Jewishness providing the foundation. Acts leverages Jewish kinship, language, cult, and custom to portray the Way, Paul, and "the Jews" as one family debating the direction of their ancestral tradition. Using a historically situated narrative approach, Moraff frames Acts' portrayal of the Way and Paul in relation to the Jewish people as participating in internecine conflict regarding the Jewish tradition-in-crisis, after the destruction of the temple. By exploring ancient ethnicity, Jewish identity and Lukan characterization, images of the Jews, the Way, and Paul, violence in Acts and the theme of blindness in Luke's gospel, the Pauline writings and Acts, Moraff stresses that Acts speaks from "among my own nation," meaning "the Jews", and makes it possible to understand Acts' critical characterization of "the Jews" within Second Temple Judaism.

Free Download Reading the Sermons of Thomas Aquinas: A Beginner's Guide (Renewal Within Tradition) By Randall B. Smith 2016 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 194144797X | EPUB | 1 MB Preaching was immensely important in the medieval Church, and Thomas Aquinas expended much time and effort preaching. Today, however, Aquinas's sermons remain relatively unstudied and underappreciated. This is largely because their sermo modernus style, typical of the thirteenth century, can appear odd and inaccessible to the modern reader. In Reading the Sermons of Thomas Aquinas, Randall Smith guides the reader through Aquinas's sermons, explaining their form and content. In the process, one comes to appreciate the sermons in their rhetorical brilliance, beauty, and profound spiritual depth while simultaneously being initiated into a fascinating world of thought concerning Scripture, language, and the human mind. The book also includes analytical outlines for all of Aquinas's extant sermons. Reading the Sermons of Thomas Aquinas: A Beginner's Guide is an indispensable volume for those interested in the thought of Aquinas, in the intellectual and spiritual milieu in which he worked, and in the manifold ways of preaching the Gospel message.

Free Download Reading Anselm's Proslogion: The History of Anselm's Argument and its Significance Today (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies) By Ian Logan 2009 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 0754661237 | PDF | 1 MB Anselm's Proslogion has sparked controversy from the time it was written (c.1077) to the present day. Attempts to provide definitive accounts of its argument have led to a wide and contradictory variety of interpretations. In this book, Ian Logan goes back to basics, to the Latin text of the Proslogion with an original parallel English translation, before tracing the twists and turns of this controversy. Helping us to understand how the same argument came to be regarded as based on reason alone by some and on faith alone by others, as a logically sound demonstration by its supporters and as fatally flawed by its opponents, Logan considers what Anselm is setting out to do in the Proslogion, how his argument works, and whether it is successful.  Free Download Read Yourself Happy: How to Use Books to Ease Your Anxiety by Daisy Buchanan English | February 11, 2025 | ISBN: 0241691656 | True EPUB | 288 pages | 2.8 MB Read yourself calmer  Free Download Read Mark and Learn: Following Mark's Jesus By Derek Tovey 2014 | 146 Pages | ISBN: 1625641389 | EPUB | 1 MB Mark's Gospel ends in an open-ended manner that puzzles many readers. This is part of the evangelist's strategy, so this book maintains; it raises questions about who Jesus is and what it means to follow Jesus. The Gospel writer addresses these two themes as he develops his story of Jesus. Readers are drawn in to consider these themes for themselves. Although there is an open end to the story of the disciples' discipleship, there is an ending to their story embedded in the narrative. Read Mark and Learn aims to help readers engage with this Gospel's intriguing story and to learn from it. |
