His adaptation is paramount, or he is likely to fall into the black hole of depression.Human spirit and humor can overcome evil, even when all looks lost."'You can lie in the mud and cry or get up and fight boy. This is a choice only you can make, inside you is the strength to be whatever and whover you choose to be...' So says Rickie Battler, taken from his parents, and separated from his brothers at a tender age to be raised in a loveless children's home. It is a story of courage, endurance and determination: the true story of a child who fought back and won A must read..." - Gary Crew, Professor Emeritus and Author "This book has optimism and wit despite the gloomy situation of its characters. There's this pearler, 'Did we get up to mischief? Every chance we got. Did we get caught? Not enough for us to stop trying...'

Preaching the Old Testament

Preaching the Old Testament

Ronald J. Allen; Clark M. Williamson

Westminster/John Knox Press,U.S.
2007
sidottu
In this third and concluding volume of their lectionary commentary collection (Preaching the Gospels without Blaming the Jews and Preaching the Letters without Dismissing the Law), Ronald Allen and Clark Williamson encourage the church and its preachers to rediscover the Old Testament as a vibrant wellspring of Christian faith and life. Preachers often neglect the Old Testament, misrepresent it, or regard its theological content as superseded by Jesus and the New Testament, Allen and Williamson claim. The authors help preachers avoid these traps by explaining how a text was understood before the Common Era without any reference to Jesus or Christian doctrine, mentioning representative New Testament passages or themes that are informed by the older material, and commenting briefly on the relationship between the lections in those cases when readings from the Old Testament are paired with readings from the New Testament.

Ronald J. Allen

2008
nidottu
In this new volume in the popular For Today series, Ron Allen provides an exciting introduction to the life of Jesus and an engaging discussion of what Jesus' life means for modern-day believers.

The emphasis of the series is not only on the realization and appreciation of what these subjects have meant in the past, but also on their value in the present--"for today." Thought-provoking questions are included at the end of each chapter, making the books ideal for personal study and group use.

A Faith of Your Own

A Faith of Your Own

Ronald J. Allen

Westminster/John Knox Press,U.S.
2010
nidottu
A faith should be a living thing. What we believe necessarily evolves in response to insights into the Bible, to questions or doubts we face, to changes in life circumstances, or to things that happen in the larger world. Nevertheless, Christians often find it helpful to identify what they can most fully believe at a given moment. Such clarity empowers the present and leads us toward the future. Such moments can also be mile markers by which we measure our faith journey. In each chapter the first section lists the most common ways a certain topic is understood in the Bible. The second section identifies important ways the church has interpreted that topic since the Bible's inception. The third section introduces contemporary perspectives. With that foundational knowledge, readers can make a judgment as to which viewpoints seem more or less persuasive to them personally. Finally, each chapter ends with questions for reflection for individuals or small groups.

Second Thoughts about the Second Coming

Second Thoughts about the Second Coming

Ronald J. Allen; Robert D. Cornwall

WESTMINSTER/JOHN KNOX PRESS,U.S.
2023
pokkari
Various ideas float around about the subject of last things, leading many Christians to conclude that they don’t know what to think about the subject. Yet at the core of the Christian doctrine of last things lies two simple and complementary hopes: that God ever and always offers hope for our individual futures and for the future of the whole world.In this helpful book, Allen and Cornwall explain how we don’t have to subscribe to sensationalist theories or sketchy interpretations to believe in Christian hope. They walk the reader through the central biblical teachings on last things and then show the ways the church has interpreted those teachings throughout the centuries. In a respectful way, the authors demonstrate that end-time beliefs centered on the Rapture came into existence only recently, and they then offer several more life-affirming, contemporary interpretations as alternatives.The book includes a study guide and web-based appendixes designed to help pastors develop both topical and lectionary-based sermon series on Christian hope.

Second Thoughts about Hell

Second Thoughts about Hell

Ronald J. Allen; Robert D. Cornwall

WESTMINSTER/JOHN KNOX PRESS,U.S.
2025
pokkari
As Christians, what should we believe about hell? Instead of offering a prescriptive, one-size-fits-all answer, Ronald Allen and Robert Cornwall guide the reader through the historical interpretation of hell. They begin with the voices of the Hebrew Bible, extrabiblical, and New Testament texts and the voices of the early, medieval, Reformation, and modern church, pointing out the three main Christian views today—literalism (hell exists, and those there will suffer for eternity), annihilationism (the punishment of hell is limited and leads to the extinction of the sufferer), and universalism (everyone is saved, so hell does not exist). They include multiple contemporary theological positions on hell, such as those of liberation theologians and process theologians. The book also takes an ecumenical and interfaith approach to the topic by describing Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish, and Muslim perspectives on hell. Through describing and explaining these different points of view, Allen and Cornwall allow the reader to decide what view(s) of hell make the most theological and ethical sense to them, and they conclude by offering their personal thoughts on hell. The book includes a study guide and glossary, making it an excellent resource for group study. An online resource designed for pastors who want to design topical and lectionary-based sermon series on hell is available for download.

Audible Punctuation

Audible Punctuation

Ronald J. J. Blankenborg

Harvard University Press
2022
nidottu
Audible Punctuation focuses on the pause in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, both as a compositional feature and as a performative aspect of delivery, arguing for the possibilities and limits of expressing phrases in performance. Ronald Blankenborg’s analysis of metrical, rhythmical, syntactical, and phonological phrasing shows that the text of the Homeric epic allows for different options for performative pause—a phonetic phenomenon evidenced by phonology.From the ubiquitous compositional pauses in sense and metrical surface structure, Audible Punctuation selects the pauses that, under specific phonetic circumstances, double as rests of some duration during a performance. In this way, Blankenborg identifies those places in the verses that a performer of Homeric poetry was most likely to have used as opportunities to pause. The distribution of pauses over Homer’s hexameters proves to be irregular and unpredictable because phonological phrases and grammatical clauses differ considerably in the way they terminate. The mismatch of prosodic and other levels of phrasing draws attention to the need to reassess stylistic issues, notably enjambment.

Markings on the Windowsill

Markings on the Windowsill

Ronald J. Greer

Abingdon Press
2006
pokkari
This is a book on grief, but it's really about hope. The personal story of the loss of the author's child draws readers in to the therapeutic, healing part of the book. This book's aim is to help persons who are grieving understand that there is some process to grief, though it may be different for every individual who experiences it, and to help the mourner along on the journey, through pain to hopeful fulfillment. In the author's words, "Grief permeates most of [the grieving person's] waking moments and all of their lives. The power of that emotion needs to be honored by fully experiencing it and giving it a voice. This is a new and frightening experience for most. I seek to walk them through this using both my background as a pastoral counselor and my experience of grief following the death of our younger son...This [book] is a Christian message about the hope that can be found at the far side of that journey...I am writing to someone who is in pain as one who has been there and knows of the experience."
