The Bible's story of creation in Genesis names Adam as the first human in history. His story with Eve in the Garden of Eden is widely known-but what if he actually played a larger part in the story of humanity? In The Gospel of Adam, David L. Bishop takes well-known stories and characters from history and presents them through the eyes of Adam, as though he were living throughout all time on a mission to restore fallen humanity to a place worthy of returning to perfection. Following Adam through his profound interactions with Noah, King David, Jesus of Nazareth, and even Adolf Hitler, this book shows how Adam struggles not only with his mission to help humanity but also his own internal doubts as a man of faith. In the vein of works like The Da Vinci Code and The Last Templar, Bishop's The Gospel of Adam weaves history, philosophy, religion, and politics throughout a thought-provoking first-person narrative that both challenges and inspires the reader to consider what it really means to be human.
"Keep only what is worth carrying on your back. Leave, and let me guide you."- AdamDivine wisdom or rantings of a lunatic?Day 182 - From working for the rich and famous to living in a shack. I'm exactly where I belong. Why? Because what fool believes the ramblings of an inner voice with the name Adam who promises to put an end to all his problems and Guide him to the unimaginable - I do.Since Adam's command to leave and only keep what I could carry on my back, a work exchange in the Northern California mountains has been a training ground. There are no spas, temples, glorious meals, or praying. I'm pissing myself at night because it's too cold, wearing wet clothes, and lugging logs on my back. When God wants you to wake up, you're not showered with wine and eucalyptus, you're kicked out on the street and told to have Absolute Faith. I've discovered humility in minimalism. I've been shown the future of our world. I've faced every dark corner of my spirit and have risen to find my-Self.Now, as I look back over the pages of my journals, this is no longer my story. This is about someone whose life was spun into a chaotic frenzy of highs and lows fueled by layers of untruths. And, that guy is long gone.Whatever Adam is, or isn't, the unworldly Guidance that flows through my fingers has helped me reclaim the man I knew existed all along - the king, the warrior, the prophet. But, didn't I mention? Adam is an asshole. Six months later, I find out this was all a setup and... even the benevolent doesn't do anything for free.

Most pop stars' fame used to end with their 25th birthday, but Adam Faith just kept on being interesting until the day he died aged 62. Born Terry Nelhams in working-class Acton, he defined post-war aspiration. Though his vocal talents were limited, he enjoyed an unprecedented run of seven top five hits. His chiselled features were a gift to TV (then a new medium), fans swooned each time he smiled, heavyweight journalists saw him as the 'Spokesman for British Youth' and his sexual adventures were the stuff of legend. When The Beatles rendered his style of pop obsolete, Adam turned TV actor. As Budgie, the hapless Soho chancer, he played the character he might have become in life had it not been for his steely ambition and boundless energy. Then he reinvented himself again as a manager, famously guiding Leo Sayer to international stardom, before becoming a financial guru who made and lost several fortunes - not always his own. Terry Nelhams never quite got used to being Adam and saw his alter ego as having something of an independent existence: "Being Adam is like playing a part in a film," he said. "On the whole I prefer being Adam." David and Caroline Stafford's witty and insightful biography, charts the glorious triumphs and often cataclysmic failures of a 'child man' who spent his life getting away with it
The Greatness of the Last Adam, His Creation and His Cross

Independently Published

This book is about the greatness of the last Adam not only as the Creator but the One who completely obeyed the Father's will and died for the sin of the world. Although He is the eternal Son of God, He emptied Himself of the free use of His eternal attributes, taking the form of a servant to die for men's sin.
This book investigates the “divine son” motif in Romans 5 and 8 through the lens of exile and restoration. David P. Barry presents a pattern of allusions to Israel and Adam and argues that Paul deliberately employs both themes to show their fulfillment in Christ. Both Adam’s exclusion from Eden and Israel’s exile from Palestine are, for Paul, a divine son falling short of God’s holiness and forfeiting the divine inheritance and presence. The themes of Adam and Israel are complementary examples of sin and separation from God, which Paul argues are reversed in Christ and for believers in union with him. This theme of “divine sons” provides a framework for interpreting Paul’s use of restoration prophecies in Romans 5 and 8. Various references to restoration prophecies (e.g., Ezek 36:22–37:14 in Rom 8:1–11) which were apparently given to ethnic Israel, are applied more broadly. The scope of fulfillment goes beyond its the ethnic boundary to include the spiritual children of Abraham: Jew and Gentile. Barry concludes that the exile is over in spirit, but continues in body. The new people of God are already spiritually restored to God’s presence by faith and will be bodily brought into God’s presence in glory.

The Gospel According to David Foster Wallace is the first book to explore key religious themes - from boredom to addiction, and distraction – in the work of one of America’s most celebrated contemporary novelists.In a series of short, topic-focussed chapters, the book joins a selection of key scenes from Wallace’s novels Infinite Jest and The Pale King with clear explanations of how they contribute to his overall account of what it means to be a human being in the 21st century. Adam Miller explores how Wallace’s work masterfully investigates the nature of first-world boredom and shows, in the process, how easy it is to get addicted to distraction (chemical, electronic, or otherwise). Implicitly critiquing, excising, and repurposing elements of AA’s Twelve Step program, Wallace suggests that the practice of prayer (regardless of belief in God), the patient application of attention to things that seem ordinary and boring, and the internalization of clichés may be the antidote to much of what ails us in the 21st century.

In the latter half of the twenty-first century, a high-school student from Las Cruces New Mexico named Frances Thorne lands a summer job as a custodian at Spaceport USA near Truth or Consequences New Mexico. He is found to be a very bright young man and is given a progression of increasingly difficult jobs. Eventually he is recommended for a scholarship to MIT to study aeronautical engineering by one of his supervisors, Nathaniel Floatingfeather, from the Mescalero Apache nation. As a doctoral project, Frances designs a theoretical spacecraft that can both take off and land on a conventional runway while taking large amounts of cargo into orbit.Using these spacecrafts, he founds the Uplift Aeronautics Company, which becomes enormously profitable and makes him a multi-billionaire. His son Adam is raised at the company complex alongside his father. When a fluke raises Aamto the company chairmanshi, he seeks to expand the company's interests to include research and development. How far this research may take him is an open question, but he is determined to take his dreams to the absolute limit. And his ideas about limits are much more expansive than anyone could ever expect.

In den Erzählungen der Samuelbücher stehen Saul und David einander nicht nur als Einzelfiguren gegenüber, sondern repräsentieren auch ihre jeweiligen Reiche Israel und Juda. Das durchgängige Kompositionsmerkmal des Figurenkontrastes spiegelt deshalb auch den israelitisch-judäischen Gegensatz. Klaus-Peter Adam widmet sich der Figurenkonstellation und Handlungsabfolge der Erzählungen und ordnet Motive und Themen in die Geschichtsschreibung der Samuel- und der Königebücher ein. Ihre Bezüge zur übrigen Überlieferung von den Königen Judas und Israels liegen besonders in der judäischen Perspektive begründet, die sich bereits in den Quellen der Königebücher nachweisen lässt. Wie in diesen Quellen der israelitisch-judäischen Königsgeschichte erweisen sich Bündnisse und Aufstände auch als entscheidende geschichtliche Ereignisse der narrativen Entfaltungen um die Figuren Saul und David. Die Eigenarten dieser Erzählungen, ihre Konzeption als paradigmatische Vorgeschichte zur späteren Königsabfolge und ihr Überlieferungswachstum werden im Vergleich mit anderen Werken antiker Geschichtsschreibung bestimmt.
