Breaking The Mosaic

A study of Paul's theology in the Bible, focusing on his view of the old covenant God made with Israel and the new covenant Jesus announced at the Last Supper.

The author, a Brazilian economist, combining autobiographical reflection and summation of a lifetime's work in developing countries, gives his views on the failings of conventional economics to effect postive change in the lives of the poor. Rejects both old fashioned statist economics and utopian post economics ideas of social organization.

This visually arresting volume showcases mosaics from all corners of the globe and teaches the skills needed to produce 15 beautiful pieces of your own.

Set includes revised editions of some issues.

As the first volume in the Johannine Monograph Series, The Gospel of John: A Commentary by Rudolf Bultmann well deserves this place of pride. Indeed, this provocative commentary is arguably the most important New Testament monograph in the twentieth century, perhaps second only to The Quest of the Historical Jesus by Albert Schweitzer. In contrasting Bultmann's and Schweitzer's paradigms, however, we find that Bultmann's is far more technically argued and original, commanding hegemony among other early-Christianity paradigms. Ernst Haenchen has described Bultmann's commentary as a giant oak tree in whose shade nothing could grow, and indeed, this reference accurately describes its dominance among Continental Protestant scholarship over the course of several decades.

We live in a world where everyone has a difficult time admitting weakness, failure, and especially brokenness. The process of being ?broken? does not mean that we are somehow separated from God- in fact, it is the opposite! It is in our brokenness that we are drawn to God, and to each other. This book will challenge you in your thinking about who we need to be individually, in our families, and as a church, especially in the culture we are currently living in. God has asked us to share our brokenness with each other, so that all our broken pieces together create a beautiful mosaic. In this process, we create a new paradigm that can change the world and move to a place of acceptance for all broken people- as broken people ourselves.
