Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - From the author of the acclaimed historical novel, The Matthias Scroll, comes this nonfiction advance in Gospel interpretation. As fresh translations and undeniable inference open the Christianizing shells of lore and legend, a complete biography of Jesus emerges. For the first time, this penetrating study brings us together with the one so many have been seeking to know and appreciate as a human being.Never considered possible, Epstein's critical analysis crosses seemingly insurmountable linguistic hurdles, solving millenia-old riddles about the historical Jesus. 'With his arrest foreshadowed by formerly unknown circumstance,' Epstein suggests, 'most serious New Testament scholars are likely to be amazed by the facts surrounding his capture, crucifixion, and interment.' Praise from eminent scholar and author Shaul Magid: 'Delightful and provocative! Epstein has constructed a novel portrait of Jesus' life based on New Testament passages juxtaposed to the Judaism of his time. Applying his own method of interpretation, the author challenges the Gospel account, recovering biographical dimensions of a pre-Christian, humanized Jesus. Joining the tradition of 'the search for the historical Jesus,' what results is a readable, provocative thesis.' Shaul Magid The Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Chair Professor of Jewish and Religious StudiesIndiana University.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - No one is under any obligation to believe the Housing System anymore than anyone is obliged to believe the truth, but we do owe it to ourselves to examine the evidence presented in this book to see whether it stacks up or not. Whether you believe in magic or not, for example, is unlikely to affect your eternal destiny directly, but your response to this book is more likely to bring to bear eternal consequences of the most profound magnitude. Consider, for instance, that it is the Bible that says there are different types of Christians (1 Corinthians 11:19). Also, if heaven is the reward for all Christians who receive the free gift of salvation, then who are the Christians who are forcing their way into the kingdom of heaven, and what is the difference (Matthew 11:12). Or could the clue to this be hidden in Leviticus 10:10 and Romans 9:21 Martin Luther was right to reform the church in the sixteenth century. We too must do the right thing now, for God is showing this ministry many things reserved for the end-times, which call for us to go beyond mere reformation and be transformed into a glorious church.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Forgetfulness is one of the Maladies of Lucifer. When he was priest of angels, he forgot to pray to God to protect him from deviating from the straight path. It is written in the Laws of God: 'Be sure we shall test you with something of fear' and Lucifer was most afraid of Adam in his clay form.When finally God commanded the angels 'Let each one that holds Me for his Lord straightway do reverence to this earth' many that loves God bowed themselves but Lucifer with them that were of his mind disobeyed. They said: 'O Lord, we are spirit and therefore it is not just that we should do reverence to this clay'. That was the day Lucifer fell from grace to grass.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Curious and quiet when very young, Isabel Ramos developed a robust sense of humor in her teens. That sense of humor, combined with a longing for freedom, would serve her well. Vivid memories of happy days on Cuban beaches and sad days in a boarding school at the age of seven still linger. Her passionate love for the piano sustained her through difficult times, and how she and her friends out-maneuvered a rigid boarding school principal is still cause for laughter at reunions. A time-honored celebration became the catalyst that took Isabelita from Candler, a college she loved. She enrolled in La Progresiva the following semester, another boarding school. While Isabel was growing up, Fidel Castro doggedly plotted his revolution, promising wonderful changes in Cuba.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - During a particular period in my life, I felt as if I was between the proverbial rock and hard place. It was as when the children of Israel in the book of Exodus on their journey to the Promised Land came to a place where Pharaoh's army was behind and the Red Seas was in front. I could not go forward and had no plans to go backward, and the Red Sea would not open up to go forward. The frustration of being in that place was terrible, and I was at my wit's end. Just as an airplane arriving at its destination and preparing to land is told that it will not be able to do so because of some unforeseen circumstances is placed in a holding pattern, so was I. Come, journey with me and see and learn what the Lord taught me. Life happens to our best-laid plans, but God orders our steps even when we seemingly are not moving. I was not between a rock and a hard place; I was in God's holding pattern.…
