Descriere magazin:
What if you were to read the New Testament - really read it without denominational filters - read it over and over again. And then what if you were to organize your attempts at such unfiltered reading by subject matter? Well that is what happened to me over a period of almost fifty years, and this is what I have worked to do in these two volumes of Blueprint for a Revolution: Building Upon ALL of The New Testament! What follows is a catechism of my understanding of apostolic Christianity. It is a body of teaching that flows out of taking all of the New Testament texts in a grammatically natural and literal sense: the way we instinctively read all serious literature. Testimony from the earliest Christians is also presented, demonstrating that what those earliest churches taught and lived out was typically identical to what you conclude when you take the New Testament doctrines, commands and promises naturally, literally and consistently. These two volumes are not written with professional Biblical scholars in mind, but rather pastors, seminarians, congregational leaders and other serious students of the Scriptures. I have taught from them for years in parish ministry. The importance of this book does not lie mainly in the specific conclusions of any individual chapter, and certainly not in any of my literally skills at presenting those conclusions. It lies mostly in the juxtaposition of chapters that are often thought to be in conflict with each other only because the traditions that hold to the beliefs in those chapters have been considered to be in conflict with each other. Its importance also lies in the conviction that any congregation that builds upon those chapters will be making a quantum leap in the direction of that sacred and revolutionary movement, that "Kingdom of God," that Jesus brought to the earth! About author(s): He is a fifth-generation Californian, who in 1945 at age four, got immersed into the culture shock of moving from the small farming town of Lompoc to Brooklyn at the end of World War II, spending most of the rest of his life in and around New York City and Philadelphia. With Ann, his wife since 1963, he is now retired in Tucson, Arizona, where there is no snow, and cabs do not delight in frightening pedestrians! He owes her a great debt of gratitude for typing the hundreds of pages of these volumes! In 1958, he received a Congressional appointment to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York, studying Nautical Science and Marine Engineering, preparing for a career at sea. Part of their training is to spend a year at sea working onboard various ships. It was during this year that God drew Him to Himself. He started that year as a typical superficial American teenager but became plunged into a world that was suffering the effects of the absence of the spirit and teachings of God\'s Son: the drunkenness and sexual promiscuity of shipboard culture, horrible poverty in Haiti, bloody and destructive revolution in the Belgian Congo (where he was almost murdered by revolutionaries), and the cultural and racial injustice of apartheid, the South African brutal form of segregation. It was then that he began to think about the effects of so many supposed "Christians" and their churches being active in, or acquiescing to, such hypocritical actions. By the end of that year, he was drawn to enter the ministry. Seminary required a liberal arts degree, so he left the Academy after three years and obtained a full scholarship to Lycoming College, where he majored in history with the equivalent of minors in literature, religion and psychology. It was during that time that his desire began to see Christians uniting, fulfill Jesus\'s prayer, "that they may be one, even as we are one" (John 17:22). During that time at college, he became an Episcopalian, thinking that it was more representative of apostolic Christianity. After three years, he obtained his bachelor\'s degree (with honors), and was accepted to attend the Episcopal Church\'s Philadelphia Divinity School, where he focused upon Biblical and anci
