The Living Word Daily Readings On The History Influence And Impact Of The Bible

The Living Word is a collection of 366 daily readings that reflect on the power and impact of the Bible in history. It tells the story of the Bible across time-its challenges and triumphs, its dynamic power and preservation against all odds. The stories and insights in these collected readings will inform, inspire, and invite reflection. But most important, it will encourage readers to engage God's Word in new and interesting ways.

In this guide the events recorded in the Bible are arranged in chronological order to help us better understand how time flows through and joins, or occasionally separates, these sixty-six individual books. When seen in context with the historical, political, and religious settings, we can better understand the different lessons told in different styles and literary forms. I have grouped these readings by chapter and while this does not provide a perfect chronology (if that is even possible), it comes fairly close and helps retain some of the original authors flow when switching between books. The daily readings provide a guide through the entire Protestant canon in one calendar year, but set your own pace and let your eBook Reader keep track of your progress. This guide is the end result of a decade of personal research into Biblical history and fine-tuning the daily readings to maintain a consistent reading time. Invest 10-15 minutes a day to increase your faith and understanding of Scripture!

Written in an engaging and entertaining manner, this new book from leading Catholic biblical scholar Henry Wansbrough charts the use and abuse of scripture throughout the ages. It ranges from the evangelists' engagement with the Hebrew Scriptures to the use of the Bible in present day politics - perhaps most pertinently in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Wansbrough takes as his starting point Frances Young's The Art of Performance . This enables him to creatively display how 'The Bible' is 'performed' differently in different ages. Wansbrough demonstrates the variety of these performances and their different emphases in the history of Christianity to glimpse the different ways in which great figures within the Christian tradition have used and abused the Bible. Indirectly, therefore, it attacks the ever-present danger of fundamentalism, and single-minded interpretation of the Bible. Viewing the interpretation of the Bible against the background of various historical periods gives a valuable insight into the long and rich history of the Church. A final chapter provides a 'worked example' of Lecto Divina providing a window into the author's personal life of praying the Bible.

Perhaps no one else has ever faced as much hardship, opposition, or relentless suffering as the apostle Paul. And yet, through it all, Paul stood firm in Christ and remained faithful—to the very end. The power of Paul’s example has captivated veteran pastor John MacArthur for years, and here he outlines nine unwavering convictions that contributed to this remarkable perseverance. In an age when pastoral failure and burnout are increasingly common, this book is a call to endurance in ministry, encouraging pastors to stand strong in their role and not lose heart, regardless of what God sends their way.
