Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Biblical Foundations Book Awards FinalistOne of the most challenging passages in the Old Testament book of Job comes in the Lord's second speech (40-41). The characters and the reader have waited a long time for the Lord to speak--only to read what is traditionally interpreted as a long descr…iption of a hippopotamus and crocodile (Behemoth and Leviathan). The stakes are very high: is God right to run the world in such a way that allows such terrible suffering for one of his most loyal servants Is Job right to keep trusting God in the midst of much criticism But it is difficult for modern readers to avoid a sense of frustrating anticlimax as the book ends.Eric Ortlund argues that Behemoth and Leviathan are better understood as symbols of cosmic chaos and evil--that a supernatural interpretation fits better exegetically within the book of Job and within Job's ancient Middle Eastern context. It also helps modern readers to appreciate thesatisfying climax the narrator intended for the book: in describing Behemoth and Leviathan, God is directly engaging with Job's complaint about divine justice, implying to Job that he understands the evil at loose in his creation better than Job does, is in control of it, and will one day destroy it.In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Ortlund considers different interpretations of the Lord's second speech and their potential exegetical and pastoral weaknesses. He shows how asupernatural interpretation of Behemoth and Leviathan puts modern readers in a position to appreciate the reward of Job's faith (and ours) as we endure in trusting God while living in an unredeemed creation.Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with currentscholarship and to point the way ahead.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Christianity Today Book AwardThe Gospel Coalition Book Awards Honorable MentionForeword INDIES Book of the Year Award FinalistThe success and survival of American democracy have never been guaranteed. Political polarization, presidential eccentricities, the trustworthiness of government, and the pre…judices of the voting majority have waxed and waned ever since the time of the Founders, and there are no fail-safe solutions tosecure the benefits of a democratic future.What we must do, argues the historian Robert Tracy McKenzie, is take an unflinching look at the very nature of democracy--its strengths and weaknesses, what it can promise, and where it overreaches. And this means we must take an unflinching look at ourselves.We the Fallen People presents a close look at the ideas of human nature to be found in the history of American democratic thought, from the nation's Founders throughthe Jacksonian Era and Alexis de Tocqueville. McKenzie, following C. S. Lewis, claims there are only two reasons to believe in majority rule: because we have confidence in human nature--or because we don't. The Founders subscribed to the biblical principle that humans are fallen and their virtue is always doubtful, and they wrote the US Constitution to frame a republic intended to handle our weaknesses. But by the presidency of Andrew Jackson, contrary ideas about humanity's inherent goodness were already taking deep root among Americans, bearing fruit in such perils as we now face for the future of democracy.Focusing on the careful reasoning of the Founders, the seismic shifts of the Jacksonian Era, and the often misunderstood but still piercing analysis of Tocqueville's Democracy in America, McKenzie guides us in a conversation with the past that can help us see the present--and ourselves--with new insight.

The culmination of a rigorous five-year translation process, this new Bible translation is a collaboration between organizations like OneBook and Wycliffe Associates, Indigenous North Americans from over twenty-five different tribes, and a translation council that consisted of twelve Native North American elders, pastors, young adults, and men and women from different tribes and diverse geographic locations.

All who trust in him and his way will not come to a bad end but will share in the life of the world to come that never fades away, filled with beauty and harmony.' John 3:16- Love is patient and kind. Love is never jealous. It does not brag or boast. It is not puffed up or big-headed. Love does not act in shameful ways, nor does it care only about itself. It is not hot-headed, nor does it keep track of wrongs done to it. Love is not happy with lies and injustice, but truth makes its heart glad. Love keeps walking even when carrying a heavy load. Love keeps trusting, never loses hope, and stands firm in hard times. The road of love has no end.' 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.
