The Theme of Jewish Persecution of Christians in the Gospel According to St Matthew

The Theme of Jewish Persecution of Christians in the Gospel According to St Matthew

Douglas R. A. Hare

Cambridge University Press
2005
pokkari
It has long been recognized that in the Gospel according to St Matthew the conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees has been intensified and it has often been suggested that this intensification reflects the continued struggle between the Church and the synagogue. The theme of Jewish persecution of Christians in the Gospel according to St Matthew is examined in this book with two questions in mind: 1. Has Matthew exaggerated the severity of the persecution? 2. How has the persecution influenced Matthew's theology? Professor Hare examines the historical data relating to the suffering imposed upon the Christians and refers to Rabbinic literature and Christian sources other than Matthew in order to evaluate Matthew's portrayal of the persecutions. He concludes that persecution was directed primarily against Christian missionaries, not against rank-and-file Christians.

Mark

Douglas R. A. Hare

Westminster/John Knox Press,U.S.
1996
nidottu
Mark, often eclipsed by the other Synoptic Gospels, is now considered by many biblical scholars to be the earliest written gospel. This conclusion would place Mark closest to the historical Jesus. In his book, Douglas Hare examines Mark for modern Christians who are in search of the Jesus portrayed in these earliest known writings. What emerges is a Jesus whose moral and religious teachings are of secondary importance to the very fact of his life, death, and resurrection. For it is the Jesus depicted in Mark that serves as the window through which we may see God. God's love for humankind, Hare contends, is made visible through Mark's Jesus.Books in the Westminster Bible Companion series assist laity in their study of the Bible as a guide to Christian faith and practice. Each volume explains the biblical book in its original historical context and explores its significance for faithful living today. These books are ideal for individual study and for Bible study classes and groups.

Fully Human: The Story of a Man Called Yeshua

Fully Human: The Story of a Man Called Yeshua

Douglas R. Thompson

CHELSEA PRESS
2018
nidottu
There is the popular image of Jesus, and then there is Yeshua, the very human child prodigy who leaves his home in Israel to embark on a journey of enlightenment to India before fulfilling his destiny as a prophet and, for many, the savior of man. Based on scholarly research and a fresh interpretation of historic fact, Fully Human: The Story of a Man Called Yeshua presents an alternative history of Jesus, one that renders him in flesh and blood, someone both more worldly and mystical than the figure recounted in Biblical stories. This imagining of Yeshua's lost years shows a child becoming a man with the full range of human emotions but also profound insights and powers.An 11-year-old living in the city of Nazareth exhibits an uncanny understanding of scripture which exceeds that of most adults. Though his stepfather wants him to follow in his footsteps into the carpentry trade, the boy rebels and prepares to begin his rabbinical studies. His gifts and strange manner make him the butt of taunts and bullying by other children, but a local rabbi has a hunch that he might be a prophet. When Yeshua's mother tells him the story of his true origins, Yeshua sets off on a path of self-discovery. During a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, he and a friend are met by a mysterious warrior from India, who speaks of a vision his master, a famous Indian sage named Patanjali, has had about someone very much like Yeshua. Yeshua travels to India to study Yoga, Brahmanism, and Buddhism, as well as a healing science practiced in India called Ayurveda. He does not see home for 17 years. When he returns, he finds that dark forces have been trying to destroy his family. A struggle ensues that will ultimately forge how history remembers and reveres this humble holy man. Read Fully Human: The Story of a Man Called Yeshua and experience a revelation of truth and love.

Three developments signal a new regulatory regime is on the way. -The U.S. Department of Justice announced it will not interfere with marijuana retail sales as long as all state and Federal rules are followed and all taxes are paid. -The U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network issued formal guidance to U.S. banks on how to do business with marijuana firms. -The President of the United States mentioned marijuana and alcohol in the same sentence. An enormous, quasi-dormant underground economy is awakening and large components are coming to the surface. Taylor West, deputy director of the 440-member National Cannabis Industry Association, said, "There is a whole canopy of products that goes beyond plants." He cites cannabis-infused foods and drinks, cannabis oils, butters, tinctures, and salves. New regulatory demands will spark other opportunities such as laboratories to test for impurities and software systems to track product from seed-to-sale. But make no mistake about it: Some investors in some of the publicly-held cannabis-connected companies detailed at www.hempinsiders.com will lose money.

Facing the Storm: A Commentary on Matthew 24 and 25: On the Cusp of the Tribulation Relevant Issues for the Church

Facing the Storm: A Commentary on Matthew 24 and 25: On the Cusp of the Tribulation Relevant Issues for the Church

Douglas R. Shearer

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
This book courageously probes the many challenges now facing the evangelical church here in America - challenges that far too many Christian leaders are ignoring. With the whole world spinning out of control and events now taking place that clearly correspond to the End Times scenario the Bible spells out, believers are pleading with their pastors to teach on prophecy. But those pleas, with but a few exceptions, are being brushed aside. It's a failure the church will soon desperately regret - because it's leaving believers ill-equipped to either face the hard times that lie ahead or reap the vast harvest of souls that hard times always make possible.Pastor Shearer begins with a careful exposition of Matthew 24:1-31, and clearly spells out the many events that Jesus himself warns will herald the approach of the Tribulation. With stunning boldness, Pastor Shearer proclaims that we've been living in the lead-up to the Tribulation for the last 100 years, an era that Jesus calls the Birth Pangs; that, furthermore, many of the events Matthew 24:1-31 delineates have already taken place or are even now taking place and about to climax. The hour is urgent Following his exposition of Matthew 24:1-31, Pastor Shearer takes up the Parables of Readiness and Judgment, extending from Matthew 24:32 through to the end of Matthew 25. He shows (1) how those parables are linked to Jesus description of the Tribulation and its lead-up and are meant to warn believers to remain faithful; and (2) how several of the parables put believers on notice that their faithfulness will be evaluated at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Three of the parables spell out the actual criteria Jesus will use in evaluating a believer's faithfulness: watchfulness, walk, and service. For those believers whose faithfulness measures up, they will be rewarded; for those whose faithfulness falls short, they will suffer loss.Following his exposition of Matthew 24 and 25, Pastor Shearer traces out the long forty to fifty year decline of American evangelicalism, first lapsing into a defensive posture, building walls of protection around itself; and now into a state that can only be described as irrelevant. He then goes on to show how the ever-mounting hostility the church has been confronting for the last thirty years has led to serious compromises that have eviscerated the gospel message. He especially focuses on the issue of homosexuality, and shows how it has become the leading edge of a battering ram used by the secular elites to undermine the crucial importance of sin. But sin is what the gospel is all about: deliverance from both its penalty and its power. Playing down the crucial importance of sin strips the gospel of its power and its authenticity. Next Pastor Shearer focuses on the role of Israel in the Last Days scenario - and how ignoring Israel mutes the alarm bell that God is using to warn both the saved and the unsaved that judgment is on its way. Finally, Pastor Shearer spells out a series of strategies he believes will help revitalize the church.

I Am a Strange Loop

I Am a Strange Loop

Douglas R. Hofstadter; Douglas Hofstadter

Hachette Book Group
2018
cd
One of our greatest philosophers and scientists of the mind asks, where does the self come from -- and how our selves can exist in the minds of others. Can thought arise out of matter? Can self, soul, consciousness, "I" arise out of mere matter? If it cannot, then how can you or I be here? I Am a Strange Loop argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the "strange loop"-a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains. The most central and complex symbol in your brain is the one called "I." The "I" is the nexus in our brain, one of many symbols seeming to have free will and to have gained the paradoxical ability to push particles around, rather than the reverse. How can a mysterious abstraction be real-or is our "I" merely a convenient fiction? Does an "I" exert genuine power over the particles in our brain, or is it helplessly pushed around by the laws of physics? These are the mysteries tackled in I Am a Strange Loop, Douglas Hofstadter's first book-length journey into philosophy since G del, Escher, Bach. Compulsively readable and endlessly thought-provoking, this is a moving and profound inquiry into the nature of mind.

A Man on Fire

A Man on Fire

Douglas R. Egerton

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2025

Few Americans covered as much ground as Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Born in 1823 to a family descended from Boston's Puritan founders, he attended Harvard, like all the men in his family, and prepared for the settled life of a minister. Instead, he rejected both privilege and convention, and embraced radical causes, attaching himself to nearly every major reform movement of the day, from women's rights to abolitionism. More than merely a fellow traveler, Higginson became a proponent of direct action. Wounded during an altercation with the police over an enslaved man who -in defiance of the Fugitive Slave Act-was fighting extradition to the South, Higginson wore the scar with pride. He became a member of Boston's Secret Six, supporting John Brown's raid and going to Bleeding Kansas with his rifle, prepared to put his life on the line. During the Civil War Higginson went to South Carolina and led one of the first Black regiments, the 1st Carolina Volunteers, into battle. Man of action though he was, "Colonel" Higginson was also a writer and journalist, friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, and one of the founding editors of the Atlantic Magazine. Emily Dickinson sought out his advice and their correspondence attests both to Dickinson's genius and Higginson's attempt to help it reach a larger audience. Until his death in 1911, Higginson played a role, often a leading and vocal part, in nearly every progressive movement of the 19th century, earning a place in studies of abolitionism, feminism, education, temperance, Victorian fiction, as well as films, novels, and books featuring Dickinson and Harriet Tubman (whom he met in South Carolina during the Civil War). These reveal only aspects of Higginson's storied life. Douglas Egerton's biography embraces all the facets of this American whirlwind, illuminating the ways in which Higginson's lifelong crusade for a more just world resonates today.

A Little Corner of Freedom

A Little Corner of Freedom

Douglas R. Weiner

University of California Press
2002
pokkari
While researching Russia's historical efforts to protect nature, Douglas Weiner unearthed unexpected findings: a trail of documents that raised fundamental questions about the Soviet political system. These surprising documents attested to the unlikely survival of a critical-minded, scientist-led movement through the Stalin years and beyond. It appeared that, within scientific societies, alternative visions of land use, resrouce exploitation, habitat protection, and development were sustained and even publicly advocated. In sharp contrast to known Soviet practices, these scientific societies prided themselves on their traditions of free elections, foreign contacts, and a pre-revolutionary heritage. Weiner portrays nature protection activists not as do-or-die resisters to the system, nor as inoffensive do-gooders. Rather, they took advantage of an unpoliced realm of speech and activity and of the patronage by middle-level Soviet officials to struggle for a softer path to development. In the process, they defended independent social and professional identities in the face of a system that sought to impose official models of behavior, ethics, and identity for all. Written in a lively style, this absorbing story tells for the first time how organized participation in nature protection provided an arena for affirming and perpetuating self-generated social identities in the USSR and preserving a counterculture whose legacy survives today.

A Dictionary of Skiri Pawnee

A Dictionary of Skiri Pawnee

Douglas R. Parks; Lula Nora Pratt

University of Nebraska Press
2008
sidottu
A Dictionary of Skiri Pawnee is the first dictionary ever published of a Caddoan language. Formerly an independent tribe living along the North Fork of the Loup River in central Nebraska, the Skiris united with South Band Pawnee groups in the late eighteenth century, and in 1874–76 they were forced to abandon their reservation in central Nebraska for a new reservation that became Pawnee County in north-central Oklahoma, where most Skiris live today.The volume comprises approximately 4,500 entries that represent the basic vocabulary of the Skiri language. To assist users, the introduction features a description of the Skiri sound system and an alphabet, as well as a short description of Skiri grammar that outlines the categories and constituent morphemes composing Skiri words. The first section of the dictionary presents entries arranged alphabetically by English glosses; the second section is arranged alphabetically by Skiri words and stems. Separate appendixes provide representative conjugations of Skiri verbs, a list of irregular verb roots, and charts of kinship terms. The dictionary is the culmination of a fifteen-year collaboration between Douglas R. Parks and Lula Nora Pratt, a native Skiri speaker. Primary sources of Skiri vocabulary and English translations include Pratt herself, recordings of traditional narratives made by Harry Mad Bear and Sam Allen in the 1960s, and historical texts by Roaming Scout. Supplementary sources of data come from other Skiri speakers who collaborated for shorter periods in the late 1960s.
