Revelation: Vision of a Just World (Proclamation Commentaries)

1 review
Elisabeth, Schussler Fiorenza

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 1998

Reclaiming the Truth
Fiornza's book is another great along with the many others she has wrote. She brings the reality of the Book of Revelation to life. I used her book, along with others, in a religion class. Her book by far was fascinating and truthful. I will warn this book is not for people who do not have an open mind. It is hard reading and takes time, but it is a breakthrough for feminist apocraphyl ...

Preaching the Parables: From Responsible Interpretation to Powerful Proclamation

1 review
Craig L. Blomberg

Baker Academic, 2004

Excellent
To my relief this book had no doctrinal errors in it that I could find and it was explained well with nothing that I found hard to understand. The language was basic and without pretentious wording. Although I personally did not learn anything new, this book will certainly help those who truly want to understand certain parables Jesus taught like the one about the good Samaritan or the praying ...

Michael Vorenberg

Cambridge University Press, 2001

How Slavery Ended
This extraordinary and wonderfully written work will change the way that historians view slavery's demise. Previous accounts of the Thirteenth Amendment have depicted its coming as a natural consequence of the Civil War -- a way to make final the promise of the Emancipation Proclamation. Vorenberg shows us that the coming of the Thirteenth Amendment was not inevitable, explains how contingency ...

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery in America

11 reviews
Allen C. Guelzo

Simon & Schuster, 2005

Excellent
Places Mr. Lincoln and the Proclamation in their correct political, social and historic contexts. For me, this makes the document the result of an act of moral and political courage. Well written and researched, this book made it easier for me to understand the 16th President, and to get behind the veil that separates us from him, socially and historically. Interesting look into a pivotal ...

We Preach Not Ourselves: Paul on Proclamation
Michael P. Knowles

Brazos Press, 2008

The apostle Paul preached Christ crucified and Christ resurrected. But these two themes provided more than just the content for Paul's preaching; they also provided the shape for how Paul viewed and practiced preaching. Paul's proclamation arose out of and modeled a cross-centered spirituality, which led to the spiritual transformation of both Paul and his hearers. It is this vision, rather than a particular method, that lies at the heart of ...

The Divine Voice: Christian Proclamation and the Theology of Sound
Stephen Webb

Brazos Press, 2004

"Freedom begins in the ear before it reaches the mouth." Every once in a while a book comes along that profoundly makes the most original thoughts immediately familiar. The Divine Voice is such a book. Stephen Webb challenges readers to take sound seriously. Not only did God's first "sounds" speak the world into being, but sound and voice have also played an undeniably central role in biblical revelation, prophetic proclamation, and the New ...
