Scriptural Politics The Way To National Salvation Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Scriptural Politics the Way to National Salvation "There are no politics like those which the Scriptures teach." - John Milton. "The leaves of the tree [of life] were for the healing of the nations." - Revelation xxii. 2. "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." - Psalms cxix. 18. "The theocracy of the Jews was intended to be the type in substance, if not in form, of all righteous government. In the progress of civilization and religion, as the world approaches the grand prophetic period when 'truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven, ' the governments of earth will all be assimilated to this pattern." - Bishop George F. Pierce's Sermon before the Legislature of Georgia. The design of this treatise is to present an outline of the governmental ideas of redemption, and show some of the benefits that follow their adoption. The political institutions of a people have a large influence in determining their welfare and happiness and destiny as a nation, and but few things are more oppressive than unsound theories of government or abuses in their administration. If the vast powers and influences of government are to be exerted in a wise and salutary way, and for the greatest good to the greatest number, they must be founded on right principles, and scrupulously guarded against that deterioration to which, by reason of sin, not only persons, but also institutions, are liable.

In this original introduction to Paul's life and thought Sanders pays equal attention to Paul's fundamental convictions and the sometimes convoluted ways in which they were worked out.

For over a century the ten-volume Dictionary of the Bible has been the definitive reference. "It is a Dictionary of the Old and New Testaments, together with the Old Testament Apocrypha, according to the Authorized and Revised English Versions, and with constant reference to the original tongues. ... Articles have been written on the names of all Persons and Places, on the Antiquities and Archaeology of the Bible, on its Ethnology, Geology, and Natural History, on Biblical Theology and Ethic, and even on the obsolete or archaic words occurring in the English Versions." James Hastings (1852-1922) was a distinguished scholar and pastor. He was founder and editor of the Expository Times and is also well known for editing the Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics, the Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels, and the Dictionary of the Apostolic Church.

This volume provides the first comprehensive introduction to the intersections between Christianity and the digital humanities. DH is a well-established, fast-growing, multidisciplinary field producing computational applications and analytical models to enable new kinds of research. Scholars of Christianity were among the first pioneers to explore these possibilities, using digital approaches to transform the study of Christian texts, history and ideas, and innovative work is taking place today all over the world. This volume aims to celebrate and continue that legacy by bringing together 15 of the most exciting contemporary projects, grouped into four categories. “Canon, corpus and manuscript” examines physical texts and collections. “Words and meanings” explores digital approaches to language and linguistics. “Digital history” uses digital techniques to explore the Christian past, and “Theology and pedagogy” engages with digital approaches to teaching, formation and Christian ideas. This volume introduces key debates, shares exciting initiatives, and aims to encourage new innovations in analysis and communication. Christianity and the Digital Humanities is ideally suited as a starting point for students and researchers interested in this vast and complex field.

It is my opinion, that most believers do not know that Paul’s initial salvation experience on the “Road to Damascus,” and then his cry for the deliverance of his soul [Romans 7:23], and final cry for the deliverance of his flesh spelled out in Galatians 2:20! This is three-fold ministry for all believers must experience in their journey!
