Strangers And Pilgrims On Earth

The title Strangers and Pilgrims on Earth (Hebrews 11:13) captures well the eschatological nature of the christology which has become so central in the theological enterprise of Prof. dr. Abraham van de Beek. At the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday in October 2011, many of his former colleagues and students honour him in this Festschrift with a contribution to one of the themes that have been central to his theology: christology, theology of Israel, eschatology, theology of the church, creation theology, and freedom of religion. The volume opens with an article providing an overview of his theological development, one probing his deepest theological intentions, and with an up to date bibliography.

PILGRIMS & STRANGERS ON THE EARTH is a modern interpretation of the Old & New Testaments. This book is the product of 13 years of research. It clearly & logically establishes an extraterrestrial basis for the Bible, without changing its basic message. Looking back at Biblical events with today's knowledge & perspective, they can be seen to be supernormal -- not supernatural. They actually happened, but not in the magical way traditionally described. Jim Carten, independent author & publisher (The Heretic Press), clearly explains his interpretation, starting with the newly translated book of Enoch (which had been lost for 1500 years) & continuing "chapter & verse" to the end of the New Testament. The story that unfolds will astound you! Give this book a chance. Each verse is presented in easy-to-read expanded print (no footnotes), so that the reader can easily follow the incredible story from beginning to end. PILGRIMS & STRANGERS ON THE EARTH courageously challenges the supernatural explanation of the Bible, with a clear, logical, scientifically realistic (yet spiritually grounded), view of this important Scripture.
