Showing results for "practice" in New Testament

Dr. Elias Rubenstein enthüllt die ursprünglichen spirituellen Lehren des Christentums und zeigt ihre Verbindungen zu gnostischen Traditionen, antiken Weisheitsschulen und den Geheimnissen der Mysterienkulte. Dieses Buch untersucht einzigartig, welche Aussagen tatsächlich authentisch sind. Denn nur wenige Christen kennen die historischen Hintergründe des Neuen Testaments und vertrauen diesen Schriften blind, ohne deren Ursprung oder Widersprüche kritisch zu hinterfragen.

Much of the contemporary discussion of the Jesus tradition has focused on aspects of oral performance, storytelling, and social memory, on the premise that the practice of communal reading of written texts was a phenomenon documented no earlier than the second century CE. Brian J. Wright overturns that premise by examining evidence that demonstrates communal reading events in the first century.

New discoveries in archaeology and recent bestsellers and movies such as The Da Vinci Code and The Passion of the Christ have sparked a renaissance of the many controversies that have remained unanswered in Christianity and other religions. At the heart of these controversies is Jesus. With a unique perspective only Sylvia Browne could bring, The Mystical Life of Jesus is filled with the details of Jesus' inspiring life.
