Romans Study

The great problem in the church's interpretation of Scripture has been its ecclesiastical orientation, as though God speaks only to the church, and commands only the church. The Lord God speaks in and through His Word to the whole man, to every man, and to every area of life and thought. To assume that the Triune Creator of all things is in His word and person only relevant to the church is to deny His Lordship or sovereignty. If we turn loose the whole Word of God onto the church and the world, we shall see with joy its power and glory. This is the purpose of my brief comments.

When Athenians suffered the shame of having lost a war from their own greed and foolishness, around 404 BCE the public's blame was directed at Socrates, a man whose unique appearance and behavior, as well as his disapproval of the democracy, made him a ready target. Socrates was subsequently put on trial and sentenced to death. However, as René Girard has pointed out, no individual can be held responsible for a communal crisis.

EINE STUDIE IN SCHARLACHROT spielt im viktorianischen London, wo der brillante Detektiv Sherlock Holmes und sein Mitbewohner Dr. John Watson ihre erste gemeinsame Ermittlung beginnen. Am Anfang steht ein scheinbar einfacher Mord, doch schnell entspinnt sich ein komplexes Netz von Geheimnissen und Intrigen. Während Holmes mit genialen Deduktionen beeindruckt, offenbart sich eine Geschichte von Rache, Liebe und (nahezu) unerklärlichen Verbindungen. Die Dynamik zwischen Holmes und Watson entwickelt sich dabei zu einer der faszinierendsten Partnerschaften der Literaturgeschichte.

In Resurrecting Justice, theologian Douglas Harink invites listeners to rediscover Romans as a treatise on justice. He traces Paul's thinking on this theme through a sequential reading of the book, finding in each passage facets of the gospel's primary claim - that God accomplishes justice in the death and resurrection of Jesus Messiah. By rendering forms of the Greek word dikaiosyne as "just" or "justice", Harink emphasizes the inseparability of personal, social, and political uprightness that was clear to Paul but is obscured in modern translations.

Understanding the Book of Revelation is the third and final book in the series about the conflict between Paul and Domitian over Paul’s version of Christianity which is found in the gospels. My goal is to elaborate on the story hidden between the lines of the Pastorals (Coded Messages in the Pastorals), the sealed letters of Revelation (The Seven Letters of Revelation – A Radical Interpretation) and this book (Understanding the Book of Revelation). My goal with this last commentary is to finish the study, and, of primary importance, to demystify the Book of Revelation. Toward this goal,...

I invite you into the process I use to dig out just what God has for me in this letter from Paul, so that you too may know the satisfaction of finding God’s Spirit is sufficient in illuminating His Word to your mind and applying it to your heart and life, unlike the spoon-feeding that most books on Romans provide. It is when we engage the Word of God through the Spirit of God that we will find our lives are changed as He conforms us the image of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God is found in the gospel and the gospel is the theme of Paul’s letter to the Romans. It is power ...

Once there was another Sun and another Moon, a different Sun and a different Moon from the ones we see now. Sol was the name of that Sun, and Mani was the name of that Moon. Nevertheless, always behind Sol and Mani wolves went a wolf behind each. The wolves caught on them at last, and they devoured Sol and Mani. And then the world was in darkness and cold.

"Paul's epistle to the Romans is the fullest exposition of the gospel plan of salvation found anywhere in the word of God...Romans, therefore, must be valued as a precious treasure by every disciple of Jesus Christ..." (from L. A. Mott's introduction to Thinking Through Romans). As Mott meticulously follows the train of thought of the Apostle Paul in describing how a righteous judge finds a way to declare sinful people "not guilty", how Paul sets forth the path of life that is fitting for those who have died to sin, and declares that disciples are "more than conquerors".

Today, more than ever, we need a solid word for an unsure world. No other book reflects the heart of God and the passion of man as powerfully as the book of Romans.

Through his own writings and inspiration of Aristotle and countless others, Plato continues to influence every area of philosophic thought, to say nothing of his enormous influence on Christian theology. His dramatic dialogues, including Republic, the monumental treatise on the ideal state, render him one of the greatest of Greek literary geniuses. In this concise analysis, eminent Plato scholar A. E. Taylor examines the philosopher's theory of knowledge and doctrine of ideas; the ideal of the philosopher-king; the social system advocated in Republic; judgments on democracy; and belief in the immortality of the soul. Also considered: Plato's relationship with his master, Socrates; contribution to the idea of university education; attack on art; abstention from public life; anticipation of Copernicus. Taylor also mentions historical misunderstandings of the one he deems the most original and influential of all philosophers.
