David Gooding Knihy

The historical context of Jesus' life is meticulously outlined by Luke, emphasizing its authenticity through specific details like the reign of Emperor Tiberius and the governance of Pontius Pilate. David Gooding explores Luke's dual role as both historian and artist, illustrating how he organizes events to reveal deeper meanings rather than merely listing actions. The Gospel's structure, divided into Christ's coming and return, reflects a purposeful mission. Gooding's insightful analysis offers readers a clearer understanding of Luke's message and its relevance today.

Existuje Bůh? Univerzitní profesoři, jeden matematik, druhý klasický řečtinář, zaujmou jednoduchostí argumentace, proč křesťanství. „Jak může dobrý a všemocný Bůh dopouštět utrpení?“ „Jak můžeš věřit v jedinou pravdu, když je tu mnoho dalších náboženství?“ nebo na názory „Víra dusí vědu.“ „Bible je kniha kterou využívá církev k manipulování lidí.“

The Letter to the Hebrews presents profound themes of faith, sacrifice, and the exaltation of Christ, addressing both the struggles of first-century Christians and their enduring hope. David Gooding offers a clear exposition that highlights the letter's warnings and reassurances, encouraging readers to reflect on their own faith journeys amidst trials. By connecting the text to Old Testament insights, he reveals how its teachings aim to strengthen believers, affirming that true faith rests in Jesus, the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises, even in times of hardship.

Just before his execution, Jesus Christ invited his disciples to join him at a borrowed house in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. As he faced betrayal, arrest and crucifixion, he taught them about the very heart of the Christian faith, namely, holiness. When the time came to leave the house, he continued his teaching. As they made their way through darkened streets that were filled with hostility to him, he spoke of how he would empower them to be his witnesses in a world that would often hate them too. Jesus was the teacher; the disciples were his pupils. It was the school of Christ. David Gooding's exposition reveals the significance of the lessons Jesus taught inside the upper room (chs. 13-14), their connection to the lessons taught outside in the streets (chs. 15-16) and how both parts of this course on holiness relate to the Teacher's prayer to his Father (ch. 17). With a scholar's care for the text of Scripture, he expounds both the devotional richness and the practical nature of the lessons. He shows that to understand Christ's teaching on holiness is to know his power to change lives.

We need a coherent picture of our world. Life’s realities won’t let us ignore its fundamental questions, but with so many opposing views, how will we choose answers that are reliable? In this series of books, David Gooding and John Lennox offer a fair analysis of religious and philosophical attempts to find the truth about the world and our place in it. By listening to the Bible alongside other leading voices, they show that it is not only answering life’s biggest questions—it is asking better questions than we ever thought to ask. In Book 4 – Doing What’s Right , Gooding and Lennox present particular ethical theories that claim to hold the basic principles everyone should follow. They compare the insights and potential weaknesses of each system by what is its authority, its supreme goal, its specific rules, and its guidance for daily life? They then evaluate why even the best theories have proven to be impossible to follow consistently.

Focusing on the challenges faced by the apostles, this book delves into key questions that arose during the early spread of the gospel. It explores issues such as the authority of the Jewish Sanhedrin, the implications of Christ's sacrifice on temple worship, and the inclusion of Gentiles in the faith. Gooding meticulously analyzes Luke's arrangement of historical material, revealing how the apostles' decisions shaped the gospel's relevance for future generations. The work emphasizes the need for contemporary believers to ensure their faith aligns with the original teachings of the apostles.

Gooding and Lennox acknowledge the problem with believing in a wise, loving and just God who doesn't stop natural disasters or human cruelty. Why does he permit diseases, human trafficking and genocide? Is he unable to do anything? Does he not care? They offer answers based on the Creator's purpose for the human race, and his entry into creation.
