Nature, God and Pulpit

By: Elizabeth Achtemeier

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. A book whose time has come, Nature, God, and Pulpit draws together and interprets, for the church and especially for preachers, the biblical materials on the relationship between God and his creation. The book is particularly timely because, as Elizabeth Achtemeier points out, few subjects have been more neglected and less explicated by this country's pulpits than the relation between nature and God. Clearly articulating what the Bible says about the material world and God's relation to it, this book is all of the following: *A thoughtful biblical response to recent discussions of ecology *A discerning corrective to many current theologies and ideologies *An appreciative summary of the findings and notions of modern science *A mother lode of materials and sample sermons on the relation of God to his creation *A passionate call for preachers to more thoroughly examine and articulate scriptural content *An eloquent and inspiring celebration of God in relation to his world While written primarily for preachers, Nature, God, and Pulpit will provide provocative reading for many others as well -- seminarians, homiletics students, teachers, and anybody who wishes to better understand the Christian view of the bond between Creator and creation.

Preaching and Reading the Old Testament Lessons

By: Elizabeth Rice Achtemeier

Prominent author and biblical scholar Elizabeth Achtemeier provides an outstanding preaching and study resource with this collection of brief expositions on all of the First Lesson texts contained in Cycle C of the Revised Common and Lutheran Lectionaries. Infused with her customary insight into the Hebrew scriptures, this compendium of Achtemeier's stimulating contributions to the preaching journal Emphasis furnishes a plethora of fruitful starting points for preparing sermons solidly rooted in the Bible yet connected to modern life. But as the book's title suggests, this volume isn't just for preachers and homiletics students -- it's also a powerful commentary for study groups and personal devotional reading. Achtemeier's unrelenting focus on the promises of God appearing in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament, combined with her outstanding scholarship, make these faith-filled essays an enriching resource for anyone who wants a clearer understanding of God's Word contained in the scriptures. Elizabeth Achtemeier has spent her interpretive life at the interface between critical exegesis and the task of proclamation. In this series of brief expositions, she exhibits her interpretive agility, her passion for the church, and her subtle judgments on a number of theological issues. Those faced with the weekly task of preaching will find rich and suggestive clues for letting the text have its say in the church. Walter Brueggemann William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament Columbia Theological Seminary We preachers have learned that there are few better interpreters of the Old Testament than Elizabeth Achtemeier. Her homiletical interpretation is sure to strike fire in our imaginations and serve as a wonderful catalyst for great sermons from these passages. She really does enable us to preach texts from the Hebrew Bible in a new and delightful way. William H. Willimon Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Christian Ministry Duke University Renowned throughout the United States and Canada as a preacher, teacher, lecturer, and writer, Elizabeth Achtemeier authored 25 books, including the acclaimed Preaching From The Old Testamentand her autobiography, Not Til I Have Done: A Personal Testimony.

The Kinship of Jesus

Christology and Discipleship in the Gospel of Mark

By: Kathleen Elizabeth Mills

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Kinship of Jesus

Christology and Discipleship in the Gospel of Mark

By: Kathleen Elizabeth Mills

Christology and discipleship have largely remained separate categories in Markan scholarship. This study provides a commentary on the Gospel of Mark that underlines kinship as the nexus between Christology (Jesus and his kinship with God) and discipleship (Jesus and his kinship with disciples). Jesus, designated as the Son of God (1:1), establishes a kinship group of disciples and followers by providing them hospitality, welcoming them into his household, and addressing them in kinship terms as his family. The kinship between Jesus and God and that between Jesus and the disciples are imitative and contestive means for Mark to negotiate the Roman imperial context. In the church today, Christians still refer to their church family and to each other as brothers and sisters because of their relationship to Jesus. In a world that finds people increasingly separated from one another, this study demonstrates Jesus's formation of his own family and its continued impact on Christian identity and community.

Ecclesiology in the New Testament

By: E. Elizabeth Johnson

Ecclesiology in the New Testament

By: E. Elizabeth Johnson

The earliest Christians thought of themselves in communal terms. They did not simply make individual commitments to Jesus as God's messiah; they constituted themselves as communities shaped by the in-breaking of God's realm. They likely learned to do so from Jesus himself. When he summoned an inner circle of his followers and numbered them twelve, he signaled that his ministry had the character of a reform movement within Israel. In his work of preaching, healing, exorcism, and prophetic sign actions, Jesus shaped his followers into what would eventually become the church. By transgressing contemporary religious and social boundaries in his ministry, he planted the seeds of the church's later inclusion of non-Jews. This book will investigate New Testament texts about the church from a comparative standpoint. That is, the various authors adopt different metaphors for their communities-family, assembly, nation, priesthood, and so on--to make varying claims about how they ought to live together and how they ought to live among their neighbors. In their descriptions of themselves as the church, Christians implicitly and explicitly describe their theology but also the Roman empire, the Jerusalem temple, the synagogue, popular philosophical circles, and first-century domestic order.

Gender and the Nicene Creed

By: Elizabeth Geitz

A cogent and persuasive plea for a return to the full catholic tradition which would make a critical contribution to the debate about gender in matters of faith." —The Most Rev. Desmond M. Tutu Writers of scripture and theologians have used scores of images to describe God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Yet only the patriarchal perspective seemed to survive and be taught. In this comprehensive reflection on the Nicene Creed, Geitz looks to the writings of theologians, mystics, and scholars throughout the centuries for a balanced and scholarly approach to an often divisive issue of Christians. Elizabeth Geitz writes, "My desire is to help us move from an initial emotional response to feminine tradition of the church to one that is based on sound biblical, historical and theological principles.

Not My Own

Abortion and the Marks of the Church

By: Terry Schlossberg,Elizabeth Achtemeier

This timely, tough-minded work examines the implications of the church's distinctive characteristics in relation to the most heated moral crisis of our age. Writing from an ecumenical perspective, the authors explore the traditional "marks" of the church -- the Word and the sacraments -- and ask what difference the church can and should make in the lives of human beings affected by abortion. No other book has approached the issue of abortion from this perspective; no other book offers such sound practical help.

The Fulfilment of Doom?

The Dialogic Interaction between the Book of Lamentations and the Pre-Exilic/Early Exilic Prophetic Literature

By: Elizabeth Boase

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Fulfilment of Doom?

The Dialogic Interaction between the Book of Lamentations and the Pre-Exilic/Early Exilic Prophetic Literature

By: Elizabeth Boase

It has long been noted that the book of Lamentations shares, at least in part, a theological outlook with the prophetic literature that the destruction of Jerusalem was the result of Yahweh's decisive action against the sins of the nation. Too often, however, this relationship has simply been presupposed, or assumed to be a relationship of shared perspective. To date, there has been no systematic exploration of how it is that Lamentations accepts and/or modifies the theological outlook of the prophetic literature. In addition, when the theology of the prophets has been discussed in relation to Lamentations, there has been a tendency to group all the prophetic books together as if they existed as a homogeneous whole, and shared amongst themselves a singular outlook. This tendency to simplify the theological complexity of the prophetic literature coincides with a similar tendency to reduce the theology of Lamentations to simple, monotheistic assertions. Drawing on the literary insights of Mikhail Bakhtin, this study aims to explore in detail the nature of the relationship between Lamentations and the pre-exilic/exilic prophetic literature. Drawing on the notions of dialogism, polyphony and double-voicing, the study argues that Lamentations enters into a dialogic relationship with prophetic literature, a relationship that both affirms and subverts that literature. Central to the acknowledgement of the dialogic interaction between Lamentations and the prophetic literature is the recognition of Lamentations as a multivalent, polyphonic text in which unmerged viewpoints exist in a tension-filled relationship.

Legitimacy and Law in the Roman World

Tabulae in Roman Belief and Practice

By: Elizabeth A. Meyer

Greeks wrote mostly on papyrus, but the Romans wrote solemn religious, public and legal documents on wooden tablets often coated with wax. This book investigates the historical significance of this resonant form of writing; its power to order the human realm and cosmos and to make documents efficacious; its role in court; the uneven spread - an aspect of Romanization - of this Roman form outside Italy, as provincials made different guesses as to what would please their Roman overlords; and its influence on the evolution of Roman law. An historical epoch of Roman legal transactions without writing is revealed as a juristic myth of origins. Roman legal documents on tablets are the ancestors of today's dispositive legal documents - the document as the act itself. In a world where knowledge of the Roman law was scarce - and enforcers scarcer - the Roman law drew its authority from a wider world of belief.

The Politics of Virtue

Is Abortion Debatable?

By: Elizabeth Mensch,Alan Freeman

Fiercely committed to the separation of church and state, thoroughly pluralistic, largely secular: Where does a society like ours find common terms for conducting a moral debate? In view of the crises surrounding the issue of abortion, it is tempting to answer: nowhere. In this timely and provocative book, Elizabeth Mensch and Alan Freeman urge that we challenge the extremes of both the "pro-life" and "pro-choice" views of the abortion issue and affirm the moral integrity of compromise. Attempting to restore a level of complexity to the discussion and to enrich public debate so that we may move beyond our current impasse, the authors argue that it is essential to understand how issues of legal "rights" and theological concerns interact in American public debate. Returning to the years leading up to Roe v. Wade, Mensch and Freeman detail the role of religion and its relationship to the emerging politics of abortion. Discussing primarily the natural law tradition associated with Catholicism and the Protestant ethical tradition, the authors focus most sharply on the 1960s in which the present terms of the abortion debate were set. In a skillful analysis, they identify a variety of factors that directed and shaped the debate--including, among others, the haunting legacy of Nazism, the moral challenge of the civil rights movement, the "God is dead" discourse, school prayer and Bible reading, Harvey Cox's The Secular City, the Berrigans and Vietnam, the animal rights movement, and the movement of the church-going population away from mainstream Protestant tradition toward evangelical fundamentalism. By criticizing the rhetoric employed by both the "pro-choice" and "pro-life" camps, Mensch and Freeman reveal the extent to which forces on either side of the issue have failed to respond to relevant concerns. Since Roe v. Wade, the authors charge, public debate has seemed to concede the moral high ground to the "pro-life" position, while the "pro-choice" rhetoric has appeared to defend an individual's legal right to do moral wrong. Originally published as a special issue of The Georgia Law Review (Spring 1991), this revised and expanded edition will be welcomed by all those frustrated by the impasse of debates so central to our nation's moral life.

Lucifer Is Not Satan Part 2

By: Elizabeth Derry

This book explains in detail by revelation of the Holy Spirit, the motive plan and attempt of a rebellious cherub to overthrow God Almighty. It exposes the heart of sinful man (the heart of Satan) as opposed to that of a Holy God. God has shown me the reality of the fall of this cherub who once took on the name and nature of Lucifer; -the Morning Star, like never seen before. God revealed these truths to me as I was caught up to heaven to witness the spiritual realities of Satan s demise. In this book, life-long probing questions are answered such like: - How did sin originate in Lucifer? - What happened before the fall? - What happened after the fall? and much more. Hold on to your seats as we embark on a spiritual journey which takes us beyond the natural into the supernatural realm, even before time began. Elizabeth prefers to be known as a servant girl who has become the Wife of her Prince Charming-the King of Glory (Jesus Christ). She has served her Lord and King in active full time ministry for more that 20 years and continues to do so faithfully. Her duties have been wide and varied; from exercising her gifts through a Pastoral function to ministering to the Aboriginal tribes in South America; conference and seminar engagements; to her latest passion-writing. This budding author has already written 26 books; Lucifer part 1&2 being the first to be published. Elizabeth and her daughter Christal Claire, a minister in her own rights, consider it a privilege to be eleventh-hour laborers in God's vineyard.

Vatican Council II

Reforming Liturgy

By: Elizabeth Harrington,David Orr,Carmel Pilcher

Sacrosanctum Concilium opened the door to all Christians to understand the contemporary challenge to their life and health, and it started with the reform of the liturgy. In the words of Paul VI the liturgy is the 'first source of life communicated to us, the first school of our spiritual life, the first gift we can give to Christian people by our believing and praying, and the first invitation to the world.' That is surely true for all of us.

Habakkuk

By: Jonathan Lamb,Elizabeth McQuoid

‘Jonathan Lamb has done an excellent job . . . The message that God is in control and is enough, even in the most difficult circumstances, rings out loud and clear.’ Clare Heath-Whyte, author of First Wives’ Club and Old Wives’ Tales Who is in control? The sustained threat from rogue states, international terrorism, religious extremists, and moral confusion arising from liberal views of all kinds begs the question: what is happening to our world? Is no-one in control? This is a deep vulnerability that many people express. And not simply in global events. Our own personal world often seems out of control as we reel from suffering, family tragedies and unanswered prayers. The prophet Habakkuk knew that God was in control but, like us, his personal experience seemed to contradict this and he wrestled with the tension. This book is a dialogue between the prophet and God. Habakkuk confronts God with his confusion and, in doing so, he expresses the voice of the godly in Judah and he speaks for us. We join in the journey from 'why?' to worship.

Judahite Burial Practices and Beliefs about the Dead

Judahite Burial Practices and Beliefs about the Dead

By: Elizabeth Bloch-Smith

The family tomb as a physical claim to the patrimony, the attributed powers of the dead and the prospect of post-mortem veneration made the cult of the dead an integral aspect of the Judahite and Israelite society. Over 850 burials from throughout the southern Levant are examined to illustrate the Judahite form of burial and its development. Vessels for foods and liquids were of paramount importance in the afterlife, followed by jewellery with its protective powers. The cult of the dead began to be an unacceptable feature of the Jerusalem Yahwistic cult in the late eighth to seventh century BCE. This change of attitude was precipitated by the fall of the northern kingdom of Israel and the consequent theological response.

Thoughtful Proclaimer

A Bottom-Up Guide to Preparing Bible Messages That Transform You from the Inside Out

By: Elizabeth Wright Anderson

Thoughtful Proclaimer takes you from passage choice to proclamation. This book walks with you through message preparation that transforms both your heart and the hearts of your congregation or class. Aimed at those who proclaim the Word of God in a variety of church and parachurch settings, the Thoughtful Proclaimer method uses a contemplative question-based technique to determine the Commanders intent, Gods purpose, for every passage of scripture. Gods intent for a passage becomes the point for proclamation of a redemptive and relevant message. Anderson uses humor and story to teach good communication techniques so that every message brings lasting transformation to your listeners.

Apocalyptic Imagination in the Gospel of Mark

Apocalyptic Imagination in the Gospel of Mark

The Literary and Theological Role of Mark 3:22-30

By: Elizabeth E. Shively

This narrative study uses Mark 3:22–30 as an interpretive lens to show that the Gospel of Mark has a thoroughly apocalyptic outlook. That is, Mark 3:22–30 constructs a symbolic world that shapes the Gospel’s literary and theological logic. Mark utilizes apocalyptic discourse, portraying the Spirit-filled Jesus in a struggle against Satan to establish the kingdom of God by liberating people to form a community that does God’s will. This discourse develops throughout the narrative by means of repetition and variation, functioning rhetorically to persuade the reader that God manifests power out of suffering, rejection, and death. This book fits among literary studies that focus on Mark as a unified narrative and rhetorical composition, and uses narrative analysis as a key tool. While narrative approaches to Mark generally offer non-apocalyptic readings, this study clarifies the symbols, metaphors and themes of Mark 3:22–30 in light of the religious and social context in which the Gospel was produced in order to understand Mark’s persuasive aims towards the reader. Accordingly, a comparative analysis of Jewish apocalyptic literature informs the use of Mark 3:22–30 as a paradigm for the Gospel.
