Gary M. Burge Knihy

Přenesme se spolu o dva tisíce let zpět, abychom nahlédli do domácnosti římského setníka Appia. Kromě Appia v tomto příběhu potkáme spoustu dalších postav. Například jeho otroka a písaře Tulla, který jej provází na cestě biblickými lokalitami starověké Palestiny, jako jsou Cesarea, Galilea nebo Kafarnaum. Zde se nakonec setkají s židovským Prorokem z Nazareta, díky němuž se jejich příběh protne s příběhem Knihy knih. Kromě zábavné historické fikce nám autor nabízí spoustu dalších poznatků a zajímavých informací o kultuře, životě, vědě a dalších reáliích Ježíšovy doby.

To understand the breadth of the gospel's message, we need to perceive the full tapestry of Scripture. Using seven key sentences from the New Testament, Gary M. Burge demonstrates how the themes of fulfillment, kingdom, cross, grace, covenant, spirit, and completion set a theological rhythm for our faith, outlining the broader pattern of Scripture that illustrates what God has done—and is bringing to fulfillment—in Christ.

This book is a powerful, prophetic call for justice that all Christians with an interest in the Middle East ought to ponder carefully Whose Land? Whose Promise? Is a passionate and personal set of reflections about the crisis in the Middle East, born out of personal experience, and historical and theological study. Untold and heartbreaking stories from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are combined with the insights of a biblical scholar with a passion for justice. Burge wrestles with questions such as: How do I embrace my commitment to Judaism, a commitment to which I am bound by the Bible, when I sense in my deepest being that there is a profound injustice about Israel? How do I celebrate the birth of this nation Israel when I also mourn the suffering of Arab Christians who are equally my brothers and sisters in Christ? How do I love those Palestinian Muslims who are deeply misunderstood by all parties in this conflict?
