Jesus often told stories using everyday objects to help his listeners understand life with God. But for most of us, the deep imagery and meaning behind those objects has been lost to history. This book helps kids discover the world Jesus lived in through maps, charts, graphs, and other infographic elements. They'll learn about the culture Jesus lived in-his Jewish religion, the power of the ruling Roman Empire, the role of fishermen and carpenters and shepherds. It's an invitation to explore the stories of Jesus in their cultural context, bringing new life to familiar biblical events. This beautifully illustrated book will be a family favorite that kids and adults will come back to over and over again The World Jesus Knew is a Junior Library Guild Selection.

Why Christ? By James Kelly, OSB "If there are, as we know there are, so many beautiful souls among the varied religions of the world. If all men and women, not just Christ's followers, who reflect God's own love will one day share the divine life they now mirror. Why proclaim Jesus Christ? Is there any advantage in knowing Jesus Christ?" In his discussions over the years, especially with young people, Fr. Kelly has found that many do not know the life of Christ or perhaps have turned away from the Gospels as stale or out of date. He proposes to tell that story in a form and idiom that will bring Jesus to life for them. His interesting device is to adopt as narrator "the rich young man" of Matthew 19:16 now grown old but wiser for living with the guilt of having refused that call. Fr. Kelly imagines him to have been so moved by Jesus that, even though he could not make the full commitment of a disciple, he nevertheless became a follower of Jesus. So he knew Mary and Joseph and the apostles, and he heard from them what allows him to complete what he had observed himself. The old man tells his stories to a young, Jewish Christian of the First Century but clearly a prototype of the young people Fr. Kelly wants to reach today. His parents had taught him the essentials of their faith in Jesus, but he had not paid much attention. He does not know where to look to satisfy his longing for meaning and purpose. Walking in the Holy Land, he finds himself on the wide path leading up the Mount of Olives from the Kidron valley that lies between the Mount and Jerusalem. And there he meets the old man who sets out in a series of personal rembrances the story of Jesus and the impact he made on those around him. Fr. Kelly lived several years in Jerusalem as a biblical scholar. But he tells us: "I also learned from the Land itself, from the people Jesus knew, His own people. They are still there, in their descendants." This familiarity with the land and its people allows Fr. Kelly to grace the stories of "the wise old man" with a local color that makes them attractive to a contemporary reader. His knowledge of Hebrew and Arabic, and his scholarly knowledge of the texts of the Bible and its background allow him to introduce in a narrative rather than an academic way- explanations of terms and more important of Semitic customs that might otherwise be misleading. All in all, Fr. Kelly

Notovitch's biography of Saint Issa, in which he asserts that Jesus Christ spent many of his missing years traversing India, is presented here. A Crimean Jewish adventurer and explorer of India, Notovitch traveled widely across the East in the late nineteenth century. He claimed to have discovered a biographical document in Hemis Monastery - located in modern-day India - from which he created this book. The bold and fantastical claims about Christ attracted attention from scholars of Christianity and the popular media of the time. Spotting inconsistencies in Notovitch's account, it was only after being confronted with these that he apparently confessed to having fabricated the biography of Jesus Christ. For some years the entire matter was considered a hoax; until the Indian mystic Swami Abhedananda visited the Hemis Monastery where a monk confirmed that Notovitch had stayed some six weeks there, convalescing with a broken leg, whereupon he read the disputed documents concerning Christ.

The Bible reflects a culture very different from our own. This book transports us back to the beliefs and customs which lie behind the pages of the gospels, and allows us to appreciate more fully what we read. For example, many of Jesus' parables are based on agricultural images which make sense only when we understand oriental ways of working the land. [back cover].

Who was the real founder of Christianity as it is known today--Jesus or Paul? What, if any, was the connection between them? These and other questions about the two historical figures have occupied biblical scholars and the Christian church for many years up to the present time. This book proposes new ways of framing the questions as well as new approaches to answering them. Neither Jesus nor Paul spoke of a new world religion, separate from Judaism, that would envelop the planet and last for millennia. This study seeks to locate both figures in their respective places in the first century, in Jewish contexts and within the larger Greco-Roman society. The aim is to transcend the language and thought patterns of later generations of theologians in order to hear more clearly the prophetic voices of Jesus and Paul on their terms and in their social locations. By so doing, Shillington lays the groundwork for a more authentic translation of their vision and mission into modern alternatives, including better Jewish-Christian relations.

Let The Nations Be Glad written by John Piper and has been published by Baker Academic this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010-03-15 with Religion categories.
This new edition of a bestselling textbook (over 185,000 copies sold) draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. John Piper offers a biblical defense of God's supremacy in all things, providing readers with a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centeredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching "all nations." The third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the prosperity gospel. The book is essential reading for those involved in or preparing for missions work. It also offers enlightenment for college and seminary students, pastors, youth workers, campus ministers, and all who want to connect their labors to God's global purposes.
