Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

Jesse Lyman Hurlbut's "Bible Atlas" serves as a comprehensive visual guide that intricately maps the geographical and historical landscapes of the Bible. Utilizing a meticulous style, Hurlbut combines vivid cartographic illustrations with illuminating commentary that anchors biblical events in their respective locales. This work not only presents traditional maps but enriches them with cultural and archaeological contexts, reflecting the burgeoning interest in historical geography during the late 19th century, a period marked by intense biblical scholarship and exploration. Hurlbut, a prominent theologian and educator, was driven by a deep commitment to make the scriptures accessible and relatable to the broader public. His background in church history and Biblical studies, coupled with a zealous interest in pedagogical methods, galvanized his efforts in creating a resource that transcends mere academic utility, aiming instead at fostering a deeper spiritual understanding of the text through its geographical roots. I highly recommend "Bible Atlas" to anyone seeking both scholarly insights and practical resources for biblical studies, as well as to those wishing to embark on a journey through the landscapes that shaped the sacred narratives. Hurlbut'Äôs work stands out not just as a reference tool, but as a gateway to enrich one'Äôs appreciation of the biblical world.

Political Gospel - Public...

Patrick Schreiner

Christians are constantly being accused of being too political or not political enough.  Often, the accusations are fair. Christians tend to get stuck in one of two political ditches: we either privatize our faith or make it partisan. We think religion and politics should be separate and never intermingle, or we align so tightly with a political party that we conflate the gospel with a human agenda.  In Political Gospel, Patrick Schreiner argues Christianity not only has political implications but is itself a politic. The gospel at its very core is political—Jesus declared Himself to be King. But He does not allow you to put Him in your political box.  In a supercharged political climate, Political Gospel explores what it means for Christians to have a biblical public witness by looking to Scripture, the early church, and today. Should we submit to governing authorities or subvert them? Are we to view them as agents of the dark forces or entities that promote order? In this book, we’ll see that Christians live in a paradox, and we’ll see how to follow Christ our King right into the political craziness of our day.

Light Unapproachable - Divine...

Ronni Kurtz

How can finite creatures know an infinite God? How does limited knowledge impact what we can say of God?
Retrieving and constructing important insight from Scripture and key patristic, medieval, early modern, and modern theologians, Ronni Kurtz presents a rich analysis of the doctrine of divine incomprehensibility. Our theological language, says Kurtz, cannot capture the full mystery of God. However, our inability to see God in his totality should not lead us to despair. Through God's gracious accommodation, we can learn to speak of God faithfully, truthfully, and prayerfully.
Kurtz's dialogue with varying traditions to unpack divine accommodation reminds us that theologians in all ages have wrestled with what we can and cannot say of God.
