David W Gooding

Justo antes de ser ejecutado, Jes s invit a sus disc pulos a acompa arle a una casa prestada en Jerusal n para celebrar la Pascua. Al enfrentarse con la traici n, el arresto y la crucifixi n, les ense muchas lecciones memorables acerca de la esencia de la fe cristiana, es decir, la santidad. Cuando lleg el momento de abandonar la casa, a n no hab a acabado su ense anza, por lo que mientras se dirig an por las calles oscuras de la ciudad, llena de hostilidad hacia l, segu a ense ndoles, explic ndoles c mo les dar a el poder que necesitaban para llevar su testimonio en medio de un mundo que a menudo les odiar a tambi n a ellos. El Maestro era Jes s, y los disc pulos eran sus alumnos. Se trataba de la escuela de Cristo. La exposici n de David Gooding revela el significado de las lecciones que ense Jes s dentro del Aposento Alto (cap tulos 13-14), su conexi n a las lecciones ense adas fuera por la calle (cap tulos 15-16) y la manera como las dos partes de este curso sobre la santidad se relacionan con la oraci n del Maestro al Padre (cap tulo 17). Con el cuidado de un escolar hacia el texto de las Escrituras, expone a la vez la riqueza devocional y la naturaleza pr ctica de las lecciones. Muestra que el comprender la ense anza de Cristo acerca de la santidad nos llevar a conocer su poder para cambiar la vida.

Our lives are a mix of difficulties, laughter and delight, of satisfying moments, seemingly hopeless situations and unanswerable questions. Nature's beauty inspires our wonder today, but its power may break our bodies tomorrow. What will steady our faith in God, and help it to grow, when life is like that? Far from wanting us to live in a make-believe world, the call of God's word is to see the reality of what God is doing in the lives of millions of people. Scripture tells us that, right now, he is working out his long-term plan for bringing many sons and daughters to full maturity in his Son, Jesus Christ. The more we understand the revelation of his plan, and the character of the one who has decided to bring us on a journey through this world of brokenness and beauty, the more we will be drawn to follow him in obedience, love and trust. These 365 one-page readings focus on the work of Christ as the captain of our salvation, on the way he journeys with his people, and finally on the wisdom and love of the Father who planned it all.

LA SABIDURĺA DE DIOS SE REVELA en el Antiguo y el Nuevo Testamento, pero es imposible apreciar por completo esa sabidur a si los dos se leen aisladamente. A veces el Nuevo Testamento cita el Antiguo como algo autoritativo. A veces cancela cosas que dice el Antiguo. Otras veces indica que el Antiguo era un tipo que ilustra la doctrina del Nuevo Testamento. C mo podemos comprender y aplicar su ense anza? Es arbitrario lo que nos dice el Nuevo Testamento con respecto a comprender el Antiguo? O sus interpretaciones cuidadosas nos muestran c mo deb a comprenderse el Antiguo? Puede ser que las muchas maneras diferentes que tiene el Nuevo Testamento de utilizar algunos de sus pasajes nos proporcione una gu a para leer, estudiar y aplicar el Antiguo Testamento entero? Aprovechando muchos a os de investigaci n y ense anza b blicas, el Profesor Gooding aborda estas cuestiones al exponer pasajes clave nuevotestamentarios que utilizan el Antiguo Testamento. Al principio, examina la importancia de la relaci n general de los dos testamentos. Despu s considera las cinco categor as principales de pensamiento de la interpretaci n del Nuevo Testamento que incluyen las muchas percepciones que utiliza como herramientas para cosechar las riquezas del Antiguo. Por fin, formula pautas para interpretar la narrativa antiguotestamentaria y las ilustra en tres pasajes familiares. Cuando se toman juntos, estas percepciones proporcionan una ayuda inestimable para apreciar las riquezas de la multiforme sabidur a de Dios, que se ha llegado a nosotros como el beneficio de todas las pocas.

Is there a Creator who stands behind his moral law? Are we the product of amoral forces, left to create moral consensus? Gooding and Lennox compare ultimate reality as understood in: Indian Pantheistic Monism, Greek Philosophy and Mysticism, Naturalism and Atheism, and Christian Theism.

Gooding and Lennox address issues surrounding the value of humans. They consider the nature and basis of morality, compare what morality means in different systems, and assess the way freedom is often devalued. What should guide our use of power? What should limit our choices? To what extent can our choices keep us from fulfilling our potential?

We need a coherent picture of our world. Life's realities won't let us ignore its fundamental questions, but with so many opposing views, how will we choose answers that are reliable? In this series of books, David Gooding and John Lennox offer a fair analysis of religious and philosophical attempts to find the truth about the world and our place in it. By listening to the Bible alongside other leading voices, they show that it is not only answering life's biggest questions--it is asking better questions than we ever thought to ask. In Book 1 - Being Truly Human, Gooding and Lennox address issues surround-ing the value of humans. They consider the nature and basis of morality, compare what morality means in different systems, and assess the dangerous way freedom is often devalued. What should guide our use of power? What should limit our choices? And to what extent can our choices keep us from fulfilling our potential?
