Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Do the miracles in the gospel of John really prove that Jesus of Nazareth is the son of God In a carefully-researched study, a seasoned preacher and teacher examines the signs recorded in the gospel of John, explores whether they provide definitive proof of the deity of Jesus Christ, and analyzes the background of the audience during the time period of Jesus as well as that of the implied readers of the gospel.While explaining the text in John's gospel, specifically the passages related to the traditional seven signs and the other nontraditional miraculous signs, Dr. Solomon Fields also analyzes the acceptance or lack of acceptance of the signs that John incorporates as reasons for believing in Jesus Christ and considers the post-resurrection perspective of the uniqueness of the signs within the early church and the present-day church in regard to the Christian faith-all while giving honor and glory to the Lord Jesus Christ so that souls may be saved and strengthened in the kingdom of God.The Signs of Jesus' Deity in the Gospel of John provides a concise resource tool for those who minister through preaching, teaching, and leading bible studies around the signs within this important Christian teaching.'I thank Dr. Fields for presenting such a fresh view on the Signs (miracles) of Jesus. These Signs are a testament of the Divine powers of His attributes shown to man during His ministry here on earth. No one else within the historical times of man on earth could possibly exhibit these things except the Son of God.Being a student of history I appreciated the book's use of the Old Testament to give strength to the acts rendered by our Lord Jesus Christ. The Old Testament connection expounds on the fact that the Word (Jesus) was preexistent from the beginning, as indicated in the first verse of the Book of John. The Word was God prior to the beginning and so in essence these powers of Signs were existing prior to the beginning.Again thank you Dr. Fields for this persuasive view on the Signs of Jesus, it is a good resource for study. I will recommend the book for my students.'-Dr. Bill Odems, Mount Olive Bible Institute'Whether you are a pastor, minister, or layperson, you will find this in-depth exposition of the miracles of Jesus, as chronicled in the Gospel of John, to be inspirational, insightful, and provocative. The meticulous examination and brilliant writing of Dr. Fields reinforce the truth regarding the deity of Jesus as The Christ.'-Cory S. Powell, Pastor, New Dimensions Tabernacle, Lubbock TX.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - America is more divided now than at any time since the Civil War; survival of the republic is at real risk. Americans are losing confidence in the future and have almost no trust in our federal government.

Hull proposes that startling thesis in this economic and political commentary that examines how we've arrived at this crisis and what we can do to reverse the political and cultural warfare that pervades our republic. He answers questions such as:¿ What steps can we take to reduce divisiveness in America ¿ How can we restore shared prosperity to the majority of Americans and rebuild our middle class ¿ How can we get politicians to work on a bipartisan basis again Hull offers starting points to pursue a model of 'balanced capitalism' based on large private-public partnerships to rebuild American infrastructure and new green energy capacity; such investments will both reduce disparities of wealth and begin to reverse damage from climate change. He also proposes ways to safeguard our elections and live up to the ideals of our founding fathers, the most important initiative of all.Find out how to keep working to 'form a more perfect union' and fight political hypocrisy with the insights and ideas in Political Malpractice in America.…
