Surrounded by military and political threats, the people of Israel were led into dangerous alliances and war. Survivors were subjected to steep taxation, exile, intermarriage, and more, and loyalty to God diminished. With the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians, all faith seemed lost.
Enter the minor prophets, bringers of oracles, parables, and poems named "minor" not for their lack of significance but for the briefness of their texts. Like Jonah in the fish, they confess sin and foresee judgment but emerge from the darkness to tell of forgiveness, restoration, abundant blessings, and salvation. Like the Temple, which was rebuilt, the loyalty of the Lord will grow and prosper.

The Asia Bible Commentary Series empowers Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible from within their respective contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the Body of Christ in Asia by providing pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.
Micah contains a provocative message: God has a problem with his people and is sending judgment. However, Micah's message is not only one of impending judgment, it also contains grace and hope. Ferreira shows how Micah provides hope that Christians, especially Asian preachers and teachers, can become courageous messengers of the Lord Jesus Christ. This commentary is based on a careful reading of the Hebrew text within its historical and canonical context. It provides a detailed analysis of the book of Micah and also serves as an introduction to the message of Old Testament prophetic literature.

Описание: Before Moses wrote the first five books of today's Bible, the people who survived the great flood in Noah's day were told about the ten generational divisions of time ordained by God for mankind to live on this earth. The beginning and end of each division-from Adam in the book of Genesis to the Great White Throne Judgment day-are found in our Bible today. It has been said that the prophets in Israel kept these "ten generational divisions of time" writings so that they might ascertain and confirm prophetic events. Many of these prophecies have already been confirmed, but a few remain to be fulfilled. Hope and Expectancy is about these divisions of time as found in the Bible. Seven have been fulfilled, and three await fulfillment. Discover the current division of time and the event that will mark its end.

Описание: Pope Francis has taken the world by storm. He is the most prominent Christian voice in our world today. How does he incorporate Scripture into his ministry and what does Scripture say about those things he emphasizes? This book will explore within Scripture the bedrock themes of Francis' time as Pope, such as the poor, women, a God of surprises, mercy, the environment, and excessive legalism. What we find is that a diversity of biblical perspectives provide deep theological support or precedent for Francis' agenda. Both Francis and Scripture call Christians today to live in dramatically new ways in our world. ""This book by Micah Kiel is an essential study into the biblical theology and the biblical spirituality of Pope Francis. The author explores some delicate issues, such as Francis' rhetoric on the Pharisees, with much needed nuance. Reading the Bible in the Age of Francis has a special place in the bibliography on Jorge Mario Bergoglio."" --Massimo Faggioli, Professor of Historical Theology, Villanova University ""Micah Kiel's incisive study of the influence of the Bible on Pope Francis's thought offers not just an invitation to understand Pope Francis, but an opportunity to understand the Bible more deeply. At the end of this book, we know how Pope Francis has been shaped by the Bible, especially its views of mercy and care for all creation, but also how the Pope's use of 'the Pharisees' and his understanding of the role of women in the church call out for significant questioning. Kiel's book is conversant with the best biblical scholarship, but written with an openness that invites all readers into a conversation to see how the Bible continues to speak to us and to challenge each of us today."" --John W. Martens, Professor of Theology, University of St. Thomas Micah Kiel is Professor in the Theology Department at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. He has a BA in Music Performance from St. John's University (Collegeville, MN) and MDiv and PhD degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary.

A distinctively theological take on the book of Micah
Readers of the book of Micah learn a great deal about God: he is a mighty God who controls the nations, yet he is also concerned with everyday matters like equity, poverty, and care for widows and orphans. In presenting this transcendent-yet-immanent God, Micah's message revolves around themes of justice, judgment, and salvation that continue to carry great significance today.
In this theological commentary on the book of Micah, Stephen Dempster places the text in conversation with the larger story of Scripture. After discussing questions of structure and authorship in his introduction, Dempster systematically works through the text, drawing links to the broader biblical story throughout. In the second part of his commentary Dempster offers theological discussion that further explicates the most significant themes in Micah and their applicability to today's Christians.

Kiel Название: The "Whole Truth ": Rethinking Retribution in the Book of Tobit ISBN: 0567635120 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780567635129 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 35890.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Micah Kiel discusses the overly simplistic nomenclature ('Deuteronomistic') given to Tobit's perspective on retribution and attempts to show, by coordinating it with Sirach and parts of 1 Enoch, how the book's view is much more complex than is normally asserted. Kiel argues that the return of Tobit's sight is a catalyst that ushers in new theological insight, specifically, that the world does not run to the tightly mechanized scheme of act and consequence. Kiel's close comparison between Tobit and selected contemporaneous literature provides context and support for such narrative observations. Sirach and parts of 1 Enoch demonstrate how authors at the time of Tobit were expressing their views of retribution in the realm of creation theology. The created order in Tobit is unruly and rises up in opposition to God's righteous characters. By way of this quirky tale, the author of Tobit suggests that God does not function strictly according to old formulae. Instead, a divine incursion into human reality is necessary for the reversal of suffering.
