  Ancestors - Those Who Bless Us...

  William H. Lamar IV

  The hand of ancestors in our affairs is undeniable. They exist all around us. And yet, the United States does not often use the word ancestor. But ancestors are as active here as they are in cultures that center ancestral presence. By failing to name the ancestors who bless us—as well as the ones that dehumanize us—we harm ourselves, our communities, our country. 
   
  As the pastor of one of the oldest Black churches in Washington, DC, William H. Lamar IV has a deep connection to his own ancestors and the ancestral legacy of his church. He offers a perspective on the role that our ancestors play in shaping our lives and communities, for without acknowledging their importance, we cannot move forward morally, ethically, spiritually, or politically. 
   
  Lamar examines ancestors, political leaders, and voices of Scripture, and draws from African and African American ancestors to show how they shape our identities and moral compasses. 
   
  Challenging the dominant, white-led theology that cloaks its own ancestor veneration, while seeking to keep others from the liberation that could come from their own, Lamar deconstructs the religious myths that restrict wise voices of life-giving influence.

  Tracing God’s Wisdom Throughout ScriptureIn an age saturated with breaking news and endless search results, we are overwhelmed with information but starved for wisdom. Where can we turn for guidance that lasts? In this volume from the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series, biblical scholar Matthew S. Harmon traces the theme of wisdom throughout Scripture, revealing its presence in Eden, its role in Israel, its embodiment in Christ, and its significance in the life of the church. Harmon reveals a recurring pattern in the Bible’s redemptive narrative: God reveals his wisdom, humanity rejects it, and God ultimately vindicates it. This pattern not only shapes the biblical story but also helps readers live faithfully in a fallen world by pointing them to Christ, the one who perfectly embodies the wisdom we so desperately need. Explores the Wisdom of God: Traces the theme of wisdom throughout Eden, Israel, Christ, the church, and in the new creationAcademic yet Accessible: Perfect for pastors, college and seminary students, missionaries, and lay leadersShort Studies in Biblical Theology: Part of a series designed to give listeners accessible volumes on God’s word. Other volumes include The Mission of God and the Witness of the Church; The Sabbath as Rest and Hope for the People of God; and more

  This is the Audiobook "The Inverted World of Jesus Christ?" Within the very confines of this audiobook we will seek to think about how the World-at-Large was essentially turned upside down by the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ inverted all the so-called normal way and ways of doing things and even the way and the ways of viewing them. Think about how He changed the social norms of male and female relationships for the better as an example of the very Inverted World of Jesus Christ.
