The Historical Christ - Or An investigation of the views of Mr J M Robertson Dr A Drews and Prof W B Smith

F. C. Conybeare

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "The Historical Christ," F. C. Conybeare offers a profound exploration of the life and significance of Jesus Christ through a critical historical lens. The book navigates the complexities of biblical texts, historical records, and early Christian literature, employing a scholarly style that blends rigorous analysis with persuasive prose. Conybeare aims to distill the essence of Christ's life, juxtaposing myth and history while considering the socio-political contexts of first-century Judea. His meticulous examination provides insight into how historical realities have shaped theological interpretations, thereby encouraging readers to reassess the foundations of Christian belief. F. C. Conybeare was an eminent theologian and historian, deeply influenced by the critical approaches of his time. His academic background was steeped in the study of ancient texts and hermeneutics, allowing him to approach the subject with both skepticism and reverence. Conybeare's inclination towards examining religious narratives through historical scrutiny was likely shaped by the burgeoning critical scholarship of the late 19th century, reflecting a growing trend among scholars to reconcile faith with historical inquiry. This thought-provoking work is highly recommended for readers seeking to deepen their understanding of Jesus within a historical context. Whether you are a student of theology, history, or literature, "The Historical Christ" challenges conventional beliefs and invites critical reflection, making it an essential addition to any scholarly library.

Purpose - 'But what about you?'...

Peter Walker

When we enter through the Gate of Jesus – by repentance and faith - we enter into his eternal kingdom. In that moment, we become citizens of heaven. Yes, we still find ourselves here on earth, but everything has changed. Earth is no longer our home nor our future. Once we belonged to this world, and it was all we had, all we could invest in and ‘build’. But now we belong to a different kingdom, we serve a different King, and we live to advance his kingdom. We have a mission now – sometimes in secret, sometimes overt – but always a mission: to build the kingdom of God.‘I laid a foundation… someone else is building on it… their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light…’ (1 Corinthians 3:10-13)(Philippians 3:20; 2 Corinthians 5:16; Matthew 16:15-20)

Letting Go Finding You - Uncover...

Hunter Mobley, Suzanne Stabile

Too many of us are stuck on the treadmill of consumer spirituality, clinging to the illusion that we are in charge of our own spiritual growth and development. But the path of true transformation, according to Enneagram teacher Hunter Mobley, isn't in doing more, but in doing less—in letting go of control and adopting a contemplative posture that will naturally lead us to our true self. 
 
 
 
Most of us focus our Enneagram work on trying to overcome the passion of our Enneagram number. Sometimes referred to as the "sin," this is the expression of our personality that habitually gets us into trouble and blocks us from growth. The lesser-known virtues, on the other hand, describe the God-image in us and are the best articulations of our true selves. The Enneagram mystery—hiding in plain sight—is that how we have come to know ourselves (reflected by our passion) is the opposite of who we truly are (which is reflected by our virtue). We don't have to struggle against our passion; we can simply let go and embrace the virtue that has always been at our center. 
 
 
 
Letting Go, Finding You will show how a contemplative spiritual path, informed by the Enneagram, will allow you to finally stop striving after false promises and start surrendering to the truest version of yourself.
