 Free Download The Easy Guide to Painting Water in Watercolour by Stephen Coates English | 2024 | ISBN: 1800921063 | 128 pages | True EPUB | 78.28 MB  Free Download Berndt Hamm, "The Early Luther: Stages in a Reformation Reorientation " English | ISBN: 1506427219 | 2017 | 320 pages | EPUB | 531 KB The development of Martin Luther's thought has commanded much scholarly attention because of the Reformation and its remarkable effects on the history of Christianity in the West. But much of that scholarship has been so enthralled by certain later debates that it has practically ignored and even distorted the context in and against which Luther's thought developed. In The Early Luther Berndt Hamm, armed with expertise both in late-medieval intellectual life and in Luther, presents new perspectives that leave old debates behind.  Free Download The Dynamics of Judicial Proof: Computation, Logic, and Common Sense by Marilyn MacCrimmon, Peter Tillers English | PDF | 2002 | 491 Pages | ISBN : 3790814598 | 50.4 MB  Free Download The Doors You Can Open: A New Way to Network, Build Trust, and Use Your Influence to Create a More Inclusive Workplace by Rosalind Chow English | 2025 | ISBN: 1541702751 | 288 Pages | True ePUB | 2.8 MB  Free Download Scott Shauf, "The Divine in Acts and in Ancient Historiography" English | ISBN: 1451484771 | 2015 | 224 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Scott Shauf compares the portrayal of the divine in Acts with portrayals of the divine in other ancient historiographical writings, the latter including Jewish and wider Greco-Roman historiographical traditions. The divine may be represented as a single deity (in Judaism) or many (in Greek and Roman traditions) and also includes representations of angels, Gods spirit, Jesus as a divine figure, or forces with divine status such as fate, chance, and providence. Shaufs particular interest is in how the divine is represented as involved in history, through themes including the nature of divine retribution, the partiality or impartiality of the divine toward different sets of people, and the portrayal of divine control over seemingly purely natural and human events. Acts is shown to be engaging historiographical traditions of the authors own day but also contributing unique historiographical perspectives. The way history is written in Acts and in the other writings is shown to be intimately tied to the understanding of the role of the divine in history.  Free Download The Discovery of Ottoman Greece: Knowledge, Encounter, and Belief in the Mediterranean World of Martin Crusius by Richard Calis English | 2025 | ISBN: 0674292731 | 312 Pages | PDF | 12.3 MB  Free Download Jeffrey B. Gibson, "The Disciples' Prayer: The Prayer Jesus Taught in Its Historical Setting" English | ISBN: 1451490259 | 2015 | 192 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Christians around the world recite the Lords Prayer daily, but what exactly are they praying forand what relationship does it have with Jesus own context? Jeffrey B. Gibson reviews scholarship that derives the so-called Lords Prayer from Jewish synagogal prayers and refutes it. The genre of the prayer, he shows, is petitionary, and understanding its intent requires understanding Jesus purpose in calling disciples as witnesses against this generation. Jesus did not mean to teach a unique understanding of God; the prayer had its roots in first-century Jewish movements of protest.  Free Download Paul Rorem, "The Dionysian Mystical Theology " English | ISBN: 145149582X | 2015 | 157 pages | EPUB | 3 MB The Dionysian Mystical Theology introduces the Pseudo-Dionysian mystical theology with glimpses at key stages in its interpretation and critical reception through the centuries. In part one, the elusive Areopagites own miniature essay, The Mystical Theology, is quoted in its entirety, sentence by sentence, with commentary. Its cryptic contents would be almost impenetrable without judicious reference to the rest of the Dionysian corpus: The Divine Names, The Celestial Hierarchy, The Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, and the ten Letters.  Free Download Dennis R. MacDonald, "The Dionysian Gospel: The Fourth Gospel and Euripides" English | ISBN: 1506423450 | 2017 | 268 pages | EPUB | 7 MB "Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them." Dennis R. MacDonald offers a provocative explanation of those scandalous words of Christ from the Fourth Gospelan explanation that he argues would hardly have surprised some of the Gospel's early readers. John sounds themes that would have instantly been recognized as proper to the Greek god Dionysos (the Roman Bacchus), not least as he was depicted in Euripides's play The Bacchae. A divine figure, the offspring of a divine father and human mother, takes on flesh to live among mortals but is rejected by his own. He miraculously provides wine and offers it as a sacred gift to his devotees, women prominent among them, dies a violent deathand returns to life. Yet John takes his drama in a dramatically different direction: while Euripides's Dionysos exacts vengeance on the Theban throne, the Johannine Christ offers life to his followers. MacDonald employs mimesis criticism to argue that the earliest evangelist not only imitated Euripides but expected his readers to recognize Jesus as greater than Dionysos.  Free Download John B. Cobb Jr., "The Dialogue Comes of Age: Christian Encounters with Other Traditions" English | ISBN: 0800697510 | 2010 | 248 pages | EPUB | 438 KB Increasingly world religious traditions present not just an intellectual or apologetic challenge to Christians but a daily encounter, a source of religious practices, and even live religious options. How are Christians to relate to these traditions and the neighbors and friends who live by them? This lively and engaging book is a great resource for faithful wrestling with the new realities in their historical and theological dimensions. |
