Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The King James Version has shaped the church, our worship, and our mother tongue for over 400 years. But what should we do with it today The KJV beautifully rendered the Scriptures into the language of turn-of-the-seventeenth-century England. Even today the King James is the most widely read Bible in the United States. The rich cadence of its Elizabethan English is recognized even by non-Christians. But English has changed a great deal over the last 400 years, and in subtle ways that very few modern readers will recognize. In Authorized Mark L. Ward, Jr. shows what exclusive readers of the KJV are missing as they read God's word.In their introduction to the King James Bible, the translators tell us that Christians must 'heare CHRIST speaking unto them in their mother tongue.' In Authorized Mark Ward builds a case for the KJV translators' view that English Bible translations should be readable by what they called 'the very vulgar,' and what we would call 'the man on the street.'.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Most of us are regular people who have good days and bad days. Our lives are radically ordinary and unexciting. That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome people, things, and places. In our day of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it demonstrates that God has always been the Lord of the cross--a Savior who hides his grace in unattractive, inglorious places.Your God Is Too Glorious reminds readers that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work. …
