The Explicit Gospel
Author: Matt Chandler
File Type: mobi
You know you know it But then again, maybe you dont. Even if you go to church, it doesnt mean that you are being exposed to the gospel explicitly. Sure, most people talk about Jesus, and about being good and avoiding bad, but the gospel message simply isnt thereat least not in its specificity and its fullness. Inspired by the needs of both the over-churched and the unchurched, and bolstered by the common neglect of the explicit gospel within Christianity, popular pastor Matt Chandler writes to remind us what is of first and utmost importancethe gospel. **Review If you only read one book this year, make it this one. Its that important. Rick Warren*,#1 New York Times best-selling author, The Purpose Driven Life* Pastor, Saddleback Church This book, like the gospel itself, is clarifying, convicting, comforting, and compelling all at the same time. I wholeheartedly invite you to read it, to be overwhelmed by the mercy and majesty of God in the gospel, and then to spend your life making this gospel explicit in every facet of your life and to every corner of the earth! *David Platt*, President, International Mission Board author, Radical Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream People who come face-to-face with death make the best evangelists. I have to believe thats why my friend Matt Chandler is so passionate about a clear, biblical presentation of the gospel. Life is short. Eternity is long. May this book drive you to greater clarity in preaching the life-saving gospel of Jesus Christ. *James MacDonald*, Pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel, Rolling Meadows, Illinois author, Vertical Church That the gospel is not clearly taught in classic liberalism is disheartening but not surprising. That frequently the gospel is not taught in evangelical congregations is both disquieting and surprising. Evangelicals will not deny the gospel, but they may assume it while talking about everything elseand that is tragic. Matt Chandler issues a robust call to make the gospel an explicit and central part of our preaching, and takes pains to show what that looks like. Amen and Amen. D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Matt Chandler presents the gospel in a way that is balanced, hope-filled, and very, very serious, all the while presented with Matts trademark humor. Even more faithful than funny, Matt insults all of us (including himself) in a strangely edifying way, and in a way that I pray will make you treasure Christ even more. Mark Dever,Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC President, 9Marks The Explicit Gospel is a roadmap and wake-up call to our generation to grasp the full, expansive, and true gospel story. Matt is a leading voice, a great expositor of the Scriptures, passionate about Jesus, and serious about the gospel and making God known. When he speaks, I listen, and when he writes, I read. This book reflects the clear and core message of Matts life, leadership, and passion for a generation hungry for truth. Brad Lomenick,Executive Director, Catalyst Too often the gospel fails to take root when it is assumed. The explicit gospel transforms individuals, churches, and nations as the mission of God is carried forward. Matt Chandler has gifted the church with a powerful tool to combat the assumed gospel. The Explicit Gospel is a serious threat to the moralistic, therapeutic deism that cripples the lives of so many. I highly recommend this book to both believers and unbelievers alike. *Ed Stetzer*,President, LifeWay Research author,Subversive Kingdom www.edstetzer.com Matt Chandlers excellent book will help Christians avoid common errors that occur when we make assumptions about the meaning of the word gospel. (April 2012) *World Magazine*** The Explicit Gospel brings extraordinary clarity and creativity to what all assume is understoodbut quickly realize has been forgotten. (May 2012) *RELEVANT Magazine*** About the Author MATT CHANDLER is the lead pastor of The Village Church, a multi-campus church in the Dallas metroplex of over 10,000 people. His sermons are among the chart-topping podcasts on iTunes and he speaks at conferences worldwide.

This volume presents the cutting-edge research of leading scientists, re-examining the major debates in Neanderthal research with the use of innovative methods and exciting new theoretical approaches. Coverage includes the re-evaluation of Neanderthal anatomy, inferred adaptations and habitual activities, developmental patterns, phylogenetic relationships, and the Neanderthal extinction new methods include computer tomography, 3D geometric morphometrics, ancient DNA and bioenergetics. The book offers fresh insight into both Neanderthals and modern humans. **Review From the reviews Neanderthals Revisited deals exclusively with the biological issues . Readers will gain an appreciation of the diversity of scientific perspectives on the Neanderthals . The result is an excellent and extremely useful compendium of approaches and perspectives, including some very novel ones. I consider it a must read for anyone interested in any aspect of hominin evolution and believe it will stand for many years as the fundamental reference for the role of the Neandertals in our evolutionary history. Fred H. Smith, Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2008 At the beginning of 2005, Katerina Harvati and Terry Harrison hosted a conference entitled Neanderthals Revisited New Approaches and Perspectives, which was supported by the Center for the Study of Human Origins . The papers run the gamut of research themes and styles, ranging from a study of the Neanderthal hand to one that claims to have found evidence of selection acting on mtDNA. a rich source of information and inspiration for students, researchers, and teachers. Bernard Wood, American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2008 This volume presents a stimulating survey of current perspectives on Neanderthal issues, ranging from species concepts and systematics, to dental morphology and developmental studies, to molecular approaches and morphological analyses. To sum up, this volume is a very worthwhile addition to ones bookshelf, presenting a diverse collection of current and stimulating research papers. Kevin L.

Explore two seminal Sakya texts with an incomparable teacher. His Holiness Kyabgon Gongma Sakya Trichen Rinpoche, the noble forty-first head of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism, with his trademark clarity and deep wisdom here unpacks two texts by the legendary thirteenth-centurty Drogon Chogyal Phagpa. The fifth leader of the Sakya school, Chogyal Phagpa became the first imperial preceptor under Kublai Khan and thus converted the Mongols to Tibetan Buddhism. His two texts presented here,A Gift of Dharma to Kublai KhanandA Garland of Jewels, which was written as advice for Prince Gibek Timur, are marvels of insight. Freeing the Heart and Mindbegins with a biography of Chogyal Phagpa by Ngawang Kunga Sonam, himself an important Sakya throneholder. The two texts are then presented in sparkling translation, each accompanied by penetrating commentary from His Holiness, who takes these texts, written initially for royalty, and shows how their timeless lessonshow to meditate, the personal characteristics we should cultivate, and the states on the path to buddhahoodcan be incorporated into our lives today. A must-read for students of the Sakya tradition, with a gorgeous full-color photo section, it can be enjoyed either as the second volume in the course developed by His Holiness or as a stand-alone volume on its own merits. **About the Author His Holiness the Sakya Trichen is the revered forty-first throne holder of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism, which dates back to 1073. He is a member of the Khon family, who have been important teachers of Buddhism in Tibet since the eighth century. A brilliant master, he manifests profound wisdom and compassion, and his command of English renders his teachings particularly beneficial to students in the West. He was born in 1945 in Sakya, Tibet, and in 1959 escaped with tens of thousands of Tibetan people to India, where he continues to live and work tirelessly to rebuild the Sakya tradition. He has guided the establishment of over thirty monasteries in India and Nepal and has helped found Sakya centers around the world. His seat in North America is Tsechen Kunchab Ling in Walden, New York.

VERGI

Author: David Armstrong
File Type: pdf
This is an outstanding collection. It is beautifully produced and provides a fascinating insight into one of the most promising and productive areas of current Vergilian scholarship.VergiliusThe Epicurean teacher and poet Philodemus of Gadara (c. 110-c. 4035 BC) exercised significant literary and philosophical influence on Roman writers of the Augustan Age, most notably the poets Vergil and Horace. Yet a modern appreciation for Philodemus place in Roman intellectual history has had to wait on the decipherment of the charred remains of Philodemus library, which was buried in Herculaneum by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. As improved texts and translations of Philodemus writings have become available since the 1970s, scholars have taken a keen interest in his relations with leading Latin poets.The essays in this book, derived from papers presented at the First International Symposium on Philodemus, Vergil, and the Augustans held in 2000, offer a new baseline for understanding the effect of Philodemus and Epicureanism on both the thought and poetic practices of Vergil, Horace, and other Augustan writers. Sixteen leading scholars trace his influence on Vergils early writings, the Eclogues and the Georgics, and on the Aeneid, as well as on the writings of Horace and others. The volume editors also provide a substantial introduction to Philodemus philosophical ideas for all classicists seeking a fuller understanding of this pivotal figure.

DELEU

Author: Stephen Zepke
File Type: pdf
What is the importance of deconstruction, and the writing of Jacques Derrida in particular, for literary criticism today? Derek Attridge argues that the challenge of Derridas work for our understanding of literature and its value has still not been fully met, and in this book, which traces a close engagement with Derridas writing over two decades and reflects an interest in that work going back a further two decades, shows how that work can illuminate a variety of topics. Chapters include an overview of deconstruction as a critical practice today, discussions of the secret, postcolonialism, ethics, literary criticism, jargon, fiction, and photography, and responses to the theoretical writing of Emmanuel Levinas, Roland Barthes, and J. Hillis Miller. Also included is a discussion of the recent reading of Derridas philosophy as radical atheism, and the book ends with a conversation on deconstruction and place with the theorist and critic Jean-Michel Rabate. Running throughout is a concern with the question of responsibility, as exemplified in Derridas own readings of literary and philosophical texts responsibility to the work being read, responsibility to the protocols of rational argument, and responsibility to the reader.**

THE E
126824
Author: Stanley Rosen
File Type: pdf
The concept of the ordinary, along with such cognates as everyday life, ordinary language and ordinary experience, has come into special prominence in late-modern philosophy. Thinkers have employed two opposing yet related responses to the notion of the ordinary scientific and phenomenological approaches on the one hand, and on the other, more informal or even anti-scientific procedures. Philosopher Stanley Rosen here presents a comprehensive study of the main approaches to theoretical mastery of ordinary experience. He evaluates the responses of a wide range of modern and contemporary thinkers and grapples with the peculiar problem of the ordinary - how to define it in its own terms without transforming it into a technical - and so, extraordinary - artefact. Rosens approach is both historical and philosophical. He offers Montesquieu and Husserl as examples of the scientific approach to ordinary experience contrasts Kant and Heidegger with Aristotle to illustrate the transcendental approach and its main alternatives discusses attempts by Wittgenstein and Strauss to return to the pre-theoretical domain and analyzes the differences among such thinkers as Moore, Austin, Grice and Russell with respect to the analytical response to ordinary language. Rosen concludes with a theoretical exploration of the central problem of how to capture the elusive ordinary intact. **
