The Threshold of Exile: Examining New Testament Prophecy and Eternal Destiny available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. What is the fate of the lost? What does the Bible say about immortality? What is the historical context in which Jesus Christ promised to return? In The Threshold of Exile: Examining New Testament Prophecy and Eternal Destiny, author Marc Paladino examines these issues. His research into the subject of biblical eschatology has led him to the conclusion that much of our popular understanding of this theological discipline needs careful re-examination. With that in view, this book raises questions and offers alternatives concerning some of our commonly held beliefs and assumptions. Considerably more than a volume of mere proof-texts, the author's interpretive approach invites us to see how a vast amount of the New Testament's eschatological material is linked directly to the Old Testament prophets. Jesus, his apostles, and the New Testament authors extracted those ancient texts, together with their imagery and linguistic style, and presented them to the Jewish nation in their own day. They served as a warning that the tragic consequences of their history, especially those of the sixth century BC, were about to be repeated in their own generation. This book will take readers on a journey of discovery, a journey that may fundamentally transform our understanding of the New Testament's prophetic outlook. Above all, it underscores the central and universal impact of the cross and the emergence of a new, inclusive, and enduring biblical economy under the reign of Christ. Marc Paladino received Christ in 1971 during the Jesus movement. He began his Christian service at the age of 20 with an evangelistic outreach in the Detroit area. Now a retired business professional, Marc and his wife Judy reside in Utica, Michigan. He has served the body of Christ as an associate pastor, church elder, Bible teacher, and administrator. His first book, After the Walls Came Down: Discovering Contemporary Relevance in the Visions of Zechariah 1-6, was published in 2011. The author can be contacted by email at: [email protected].

Labyrinths, Intellectuals and the Revolution available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Labyrinths, Intellectuals and the Revolution traces the development of the postcolonial Arabic-language Moroccan novel from its roots in travel narratives and autobiography into its more mature period of stylistic and thematic diversity in the early 1970s. This study first undertakes an exploration of the political, social and artistic conditions under which the genre developed, then moves to close readings of each of the formative texts, grouped by theme. The analysis of these texts centers around their spatial practices: there is a tension between the labyrinthine space of the street, which deflects legibility, and the sacred interior within the blank walls, wherein a certain equality of gaze and power can be perceived.

Download and read online ebook The Concept of Exile in Ancient Israel and its Historical Contexts write by Ehud Ben Zvi. This book was released on 2010-10-19. The Concept of Exile in Ancient Israel and its Historical Contexts available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In ancient Israelite literature Exile is seen as a central turning point within the course of the history of Israel. In these texts “the Exile” is a central ideological concept. It serves to explain the destruction of the monarchic polities and the social and economic disasters associated with them in terms that YHWH punished Israel/Judah for having abandoned his ways. As it develops an image of an unjust Israel, it creates one of a just deity. But YHWH is not only imagined as just, but also as loving and forgiving, for the exile is presented as a transitory state: Exile is deeply intertwined with its discursive counterpart, the certain “Return”. As the Exile comes to be understood as a necessary purification or preparation for a renewal of YHWH’s proper relationship with Israel, the seemingly unpleasant Exilic conditions begin, discursively, to shape an image of YHWH as loving Israel and teaching it. Exile is dystopia, but one that carries in itself all the seeds of utopia. The concept of Exile continued to exercise an important influence in the discourses of Israel in the Second Temple period, and was eventually influential in the production of eschatological visions.
