New Testament and Christian origins scholarship have historically been influenced by their political and social context. 'Jesus in an Age of Terror' applies the work of critical and media theorists to contemporary Christian origins and New Testament scholarship. Part one examines the influence of the mass media on the writing of contemporary biblical scholars, whose political views - as demonstrated in their 'biblio-blogging' - are shown to have striking similarity to the media s depiction of the 'war on terror' and conflict in the Middle East. Part two argues that the Anglo-American cultural mis-representation of Islam as the 'great enemy' has led New Testament and Christian origins scholarship to collude with intellectual defences of the war in Iraq. Part three examines the influence of the media's approach to Palestine and Israel on biblical studies, exploring the shift towards widespread support for Israel in contemporary scholarship.

An urgent call for Christians everywhere to explore the nature of the kingdom amid the political upheaval of our day. Should Christians be politically withdrawn, avoiding participation in politics to maintain their prophetic voice and to keep from being used as political pawns? Or should Christians be actively involved, seeking to utilize political systems to control the levers of power? In Jesus and the Powers, N. T. Wright and Michael F. Bird call Christians everywhere to discern the nature of Christian witness in fractured political environments. In an age of ascending autocracies, in a time of fear and fragmentation, amid carnage and crises, Jesus is king, and Jesus’s kingdom remains the object of the church's witness and work. Part political theology, part biblical overview, and part church history, this book argues that building for Jesus's kingdom requires confronting empire in all its forms. This approach should orient Christians toward a form of political engagement that contributes to free democratic societies and vigorously opposes political schemes based on autocracy and nationalism. Throughout, Wright and Bird reflect on the relevance of this kingdom-oriented approach to current events, including the Russian-Ukraine conflict, the China-Taiwan tension, political turmoil in the USA, UK, and Australia, and the problem of Christian nationalism.

'Jesus in an Age of Neoliberalism' analyses the ideology underpinning contemporary scholarly and popular quests for the historical Jesus. Focusing on cultural and political issues, the book examines postmodernism, multiculturalism and the liberal masking of power. The study ranges across diverse topics: the dubious periodisation of the quest for the historical Jesus; 'biblioblogging'; Jesus the 'Great Man' and western individualism; image-conscious Jesus scholarship; the 'Jewishness' of Jesus and the multicultural Other; evangelical and 'mythical' Jesuses; and the contradictions between personal beliefs and dominant ideological trends in the construction of historical Jesuses. 'Jesus in an Age of Neoliberalism' offers readers a radical revisioning of contemporary biblical studies.

Holy Terror Jesus In The Infancy Gospel Of Thomas written by J.R.C. Cousland and has been published by Bloomsbury Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-11-16 with Religion categories.

The Infancy Gospel of Thomas (or Paidika) is one of the most unusual gospels in the Christian tradition. Instead of revealing the compassionate Jesus so familiar to us from the biblical Gospels, it confronts its readers with a very different Jesus – a child who sometimes acts like a holy terror, killing and harming others for trifling faults. So why is Jesus portrayed as acting in such an 'unchristian' fashion? To address this question, Cousland focuses on three interconnected representations of Jesus in the Paidika: Jesus as holy terror, as child, and as miracle-working saviour. Cousland endeavours to show that, despite the differing character of these three roles, they present a unified picture. Jesus' unusual behaviour arises from his 'growing pains' as a developing child, who is at the same time both human and divine. Cousland's volume is the first detailed examination of the Christology of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and provides a fresh and engaging approach to a topic not often discussed in representations of Jesus.

"...so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground..." If you could view this world through the eyes of God Himself, how much more might you understand? How much wiser would you be? If you could know God's heart, how might your heart be changed? We are living through one of the most tragic events in world history. September 11 will forever stand as a new benchmark for evil in this world. At the first year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Dwight Vilhauer offers an insightful and reflective look at these tragic events, in his new book, TERROR to TRIUMPH; A Christian Perspective On 9-11. The events of September 11 have raised anew those challenging questions dealing with the problem of evil in the world. How can it coexist with God's love? As the author points out, "We continue to struggle with the problem of evil because it repeatedly challenges trust in our Creator as a God of love. September 11 is the latest, and perhaps one of the most profound examples of how evil can shake our faith to its core. We need to hear God's voice now more than ever, for strength and healing. At this turbulent and spiritually challenging point in time, when our ears have been filled with evil's threatening voice and news of terror reverberates unceasingly from every corner of the media, God still speaks. If we take time to listen to His voice, amidst all the noise and confusion, we will find solid foundational answers to our many questions." In TERROR to TRIUMPH, Dwight Vilhauer leads you back to God's comforting voice where peace and rest are found. Discover how God works in a multitude of ways, through evil's great onslaught, to guide us, protect us, and lead us to ultimate victorywhenever the day of evil comes. TERROR to TRIUMPH is built upon eight insights that provide a basis for exploring how God works through the evil in this world to accomplish greater ends. Historical events from the Bible, and the teachings of our Savior Jesus Christ, are employed as launching points to explain how God's past victories over evil have direct application to victories that can be realized today. However, the book is not just about September 11. As the author observes, "It's really about how to deal with tragedy whenever the day of evil comes, and in whatever way it enters a person's life. My goal was to help people view the world through the eyes of God Himself and to become one with Him in understanding and purpose. I believe that is how the greatest victory over evil is realized." From this vantage point, the reader is able to view issues of good vs. evil from a unique and spiritually edifying perspective. The result is an extremely refreshing and spiritually uplifting experience.
