"This concise, clear, and winsome appeal to seriously consider the reality of fulfilled prophecy has my unhesitating endorsement. These are not new thoughts for me, but increasingly they move me to a deeper and stronger embracing of all that I have in Christ-now "
-Andy James, retired pastor, Three Hills, Alberta
"I've been listening from the pews for so many years now, and I've never heard this perspective before. Quite frankly, it does make sense. It's a very interesting and liberating concept."
-Arturo Tolentino, electrician, Calgary, Alberta
"I wonder how can such an obvious truth blindside us ... have we let our guard down? Are denominations inadvertently commandeering us?"
-Jeremiah Montanez, sailor, Yokasuka, Japan
"Realizing, let alone experiencing, the full breadth of the abundant life in Christ may be challenging until you come to terms with the message of this book."
-David Oblima, firefighter, San Diego, California
"When is the second coming of the Lord? This is the ageless question that Jonathan Montanez's book tackles head-on, peppered with pivotal biblical and historical references. Careful consideration is given to the various camps which prophesize the timing of this momentous occasion that led Jonathan to conclude with one logical answer."
-Richard Hand, journalist, Halifax, Nova Scotia
"The word "imminence" reclaimed its rightful meaning in this book; its rejuvenated time-sensitive denotation is a game changer. A must read "
Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth life history interviews, this illuminating book provides an intimate portrait of contemporary Chinese Christianity in the context of a modern, commercialized economy. In vivid detail, anthropologist Nanlai Cao explores the massive resurgence of Protestant Christianity in the southeastern coastal city of Wenzhou—popularly referred to by its residents as "China's Jerusalem"—a nationwide model for economic development and the largest urban Christian center in China.
Cao's study of Chinese Christians delves into the dynamics of activities such as banqueting, network building, property acquisition, mate selection, marriage ritual, migrant work, and education. Unlike previous research that has mainly looked at older, rural, and socially marginalized church communities, Cao trains his focus on economically powerful, politically connected, moralizing Christian entrepreneurs. In framing the city of Wenzhou as China's Jerusalem, newly rich Chinese Christians seek not only to express their leadership aspirations in a global religious movement but also to assert their place, identity, and elite status in post-reform Chinese society.

Tertullian (c. 160-240 AD) expressed concern over the yoking of faith and reason in his famous question: "What is there in common between Athens and Jerusalem? What between the Academy and the Church?" This question is woven throughout this volume, in which every chapter explores the linkages between faith and reason. While accepting that the existence of God cannot be conclusively proven--or disproven--this book offers an apologetic for the plausibility of the existence of something more than just a material world.
Описание: Sacred Stimulus offers a thorough exploration of Jerusalem's role in the formation and formulation of Christian art in Rome during the fourth and fifth centuries. The visual vocabulary discussed by Galit Noga-Banai gives an alternative access point to the mnemonic efforts conceived while Rome converted to Christianity: not in comparison to pagan art in Rome, not as reflecting the struggle with the emergence of New Rome in the East (Constantinople), but rather as visual expressions of the confrontation with earthly Jerusalem and its holy places. After all, Jerusalem is where the formative events of Christianity occurred and were memorialized. Sacred Stimulus argues that, already in the second half of the fourth century, Rome constructed its own set of holy sites and foundational myths, while expropriating for its own use some of Jerusalem's sacred relics, legends, and sites. Relying upon well-known and central works of art, including mosaic decoration, sarcophagi, wall paintings, portable art, and architecture, Noga-Banai exposes the omnipresence of Jerusalem and its position in the genesis of Christian art in Rome. Noga-Banai's consideration of earthly Jerusalem as a conception that Rome used, or had to take into account, in constructing its own new Christian ideological and cultural topography of the past, sheds light on connections and analogies that have not necessarily been preserved in the written evidence, and offers solutions to long-standing questions regarding specific motifs and scenes.

Описание: This book describes the Church of Jerusalem, as the mother of all Churches, and its liturgy in the beginnings of Christianity. The main objective of this research is to find, in the primary sources (as the pilgrim Egeria, St. Cyril of Jerusalem, the Armenian and the Georgian Lectionaries), the original elements of the Christian liturgy of the early Church of Jerusalem, in the first five centuries, and to collect the various scattered pieces. The author clarifies the image, and reconstructs, as far as possible, the historical-liturgical picture. By this book we will discover how much the other liturgical traditions of various churches, especially the Church of Rome, have copied the Jerusalemite tradition. The detailed description of the Jerusalemite liturgy, especially for the feasts of the liturgical year, offers us a vivid picture of Jerusalem's unique role in Christian devotion and the mysterious connection between the Christian faith and the land of biblical history. The presentation of the anaphora of St. James will enlighten our understanding of the Eucharistic prayer in all the liturgical traditions, especially Syriac, Byzantine and Roman.

Описание:
Is the tomb of Jesus Christ really in Israel? Could Jesus have worked in India and Kashmir? In his novel, Jozef Ban s once again undermines the established dogmas and pillars on which the Catholic Church is built. The story reveals the power of faith and also presents an array of facts documenting the activities of Jews, Christians and probably even Jesus Christ in countries that are nowadays seen exclusively through the perspective of oriental religions. At times when beliefs and foundations of the Catholic Church are radically shaken up, this book raises even greater doubts: What if the truth is quite different?
With the aim to write the history of Christianity in Scandinavia with Jerusalem as a lens, this book investigates the image – or rather the imagination – of Jerusalem in the religious, political, and artistic cultures of Scandinavia through most of the second millennium. Jerusalem is conceived as a code, in this volume focussing on Jerusalem's impact on Protestantism and Christianity in Early Modern Scandinavia.
