Dead Reckoning: The Crisis in Biblical Interpretation - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

A new idea with potentially devastating personal and organizational consequences is being propagated in evangelical Christianity today: God is done--finished--with Israel. Many Christian academic institutions, churches, and missional organizations are adopting this subtle antisemitic idea and consequently disseminating false doctrine. Underlying this crisis is Biblical Hermeneutics--the methods of interpreting the Bible. When the methods of interpretation are abused, the result is cultic teachings that often end in personal and national disaster--just like Germany experienced in World War 2 under the Nazis. Could history be repeating itself in the 21st Century? Is a new apostasy being cultivated in the evangelical Church today? This book surveys the history of Biblical interpretation examining how Jesus, the apostles, and early church leaders over the centuries have faithfully interpreted the Bible; and offers hope for today through the application of a strategic plan given to the church in the 3rd Century when confronting a similar crisis--one that threatened to split and destroy the Roman Empire!
