Kelle A thematic reading of the Old Testament as a complex but coherent narrative.

Birch, Walter Brueggemann, Terence E. Fretheim, David L.

At the same time, many biblical texts are hard to understand because they don’t quite make sense when translated into English. Something is missing. Many Hebrew words have multiple meanings, but the English translators have to just pick one (for example, the same Hebrew word can mean both hear and obey). Even more common are Hebrew words that have much wider meanings than their English translations. If you are just beginning to study Hebrew and want the insights and motivation to continue or if you have no intention of learning biblical Hebrew but want to better understand the Bible, this book is for you! Matthew Richard Schlimm (Ph.D., Duke) is Professor of Old Testament at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary in Iowa. He has published numerous books and articles and served as one of the editors for The CEB Study Bible. He is also an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church, having served churches in Michigan, Minnesota, and North Carolina. 9781426799969, $19.99 — August 2018 Paul Apostle and Fellow Traveler Jerry L.

  • General Index: <Em>Wesley and Methodist Studies</Em> Volumes 1–10
    General Index Wesley and Methodist Studies Volumes 1–10 (2009–2018) Christopher D. Rodkey Guide to the Index Tis index covers the frst ten volumes of Wesley and Methodist Studies, beginning with the frst volume (2009) and ending with volume 10/2 (2018). Te editorial team is grateful to the Revd Dr Christopher D. Rodkey for design- ing and drafing the index, and to Fernando Carvalho for his editorial work. Te creation and production of such an index is highly complex. While names, places, and events are relatively straightforward to reference, Wesley and Methodist Studies covers theological and related topics that can be concep- tually challenging to organize. And the indexer is called upon also to make a wide range of contestable judgements, for example, in defning key terms such as ‘Methodist’. Users should therefore see the index as a guide rather than a detailed route map. Given the range and scope of the journal, the index focuses on substantive references to topics in the main body of the text; in general, incidental men- tions, and topics that appear only in footnotes, are not referenced. We would welcome receiving notifcations of index errors and omissions from readers.

  • Grace in the Life of a Disciple 1
    Grace in the Life of a Disciple 1 Come, Follow Me: Advent Come, Follow Me: Advent Grace in the Life of a Disciple A project of the South Carolina Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church Introduction to the Sermon Series “Come Follow Me” began as a series of sermons concerning the growth of Peter as a disciple as a way to help church participants begin to change their thinking from being a member of a church to being a disciple of Christ. Groups discussed and studied the actions of Peter and began to look at their own understanding of following Christ as a disciple. The response to that series called for a second group of sermons, which followed Jesus during the season of Lent. This series uses the Wesleyan perspective on grace to focus on the lectionary texts used during Advent and Christmas. John Wesley preached and taught about the movements of God’s grace as prevenient (or preparing) grace, justifying grace and sanctifying grace. For Wesley, prevenient grace awakens us to God and prepares us to accept God’s acceptance. Justification is what God has done for us in the life and death of Jesus. Sanctification is what God is doing in us through the Holy Spirit. Grace is grace: the presence and power of God at work in the world, and the presence and power of God at work in, with and for us. As we study and proclaim the texts of Advent and Christmas, we will see the ways of grace. When you study these texts, identify the dynamic of grace at work.
