Reading Hebrews Missiologically
Gaining New Insights from Hebrews God’s interactions with Israel were a foreshadowing of the perfect reality in the person of Jesus: absolutely God and absolutely human. Jesus came to earth to establish his kingdom and all that God had initiated in the old covenant. There is a continuity of theological understanding as we move from the Old Testament to the letter sent to the Christians in Rome. The discussion on the theology of mission in the New Testament usually focuses on Jesus and Paul, with minimal attention given to the General Epistles. However, Reading Hebrews Missiologically tries to fill that gap and focuses on the theology of mission in the book of Hebrews and fleshes out the un...
Intercession of Jesus in Hebrews
Recent scholarship on Hebrews has focused on Christ's sacrifice, resurrection, atonement, and priesthood. Though these discussions focus on the pre-and-post ascension mediatorial role of Jesus, there has been minimal attention paid to "intercession" as the present mediatorial task of Jesus in heaven. In this volume, Abeneazer G. Urga examines the background and nature of Jesus' heavenly intercession in the Epistle to the Hebrews. He demonstrates that the author of Hebrews has primarily depended on the LXX and some texts of the New Testament - while remaining cognizant of the theme of intercession in Second Temple Literature - in the formulation of the motif of Jesus' high priestly intercession. Urga also argues that Jesus' heavenly intercession is vocalis et realis , and that his intercession is made in order to procure help and the forgiveness of sin for God's people in their time of need.
In Christ
This book is intended for personal and group Bible study in order to understand the book of Colossians in its historical context and then apply it to our contemporary context. The book attempts to guide you to understand Christ in a deeper way and appreciate his identity and work. In Short, "The book of Colossians portrays Christ as the God-Man. Paul insists on a balanced Christology in this area, emphasizing both Christ's divinity and His humanity. Thus the book of Colossians is an antidote to other twisted Christologies that distort the identity as well as the work of Christ." From the Introduction
The Bonhoeffer of Africa
"At present, Rev. Gudina Tumsa's life and legacy are well-known only in his native East Africa, in his seminary community in the United States, and, because of his denominational affiliation, in Lutheran Europe. As such, this work aims at introducing Gudina, who is known as 'the Bonhoeffer of Africa, ' to the rest of the world, not just as a Lutheran theologian, but as a Christian Ethiopian theologian who labored for the Ethiopian Church as a whole and has much to teach Christians from all nations. For all these reasons, this work will be comprised of Gudina's short biography, his theological emphases and his contributions to the Ethiopian Church. And finally, lessons for our contemporary global context will be proposed based on his life and legacy." -from the Introduction
Reading 1 Peter Missiologically
Gaining Fresh Insights for Missions In today’s world, the church on mission faces the immense challenge of engaging an array of cultures and ideologies. To address these issues, theologians and missiologists usually focus on Jesus and Paul. However, the Apostle Peter’s words, steeped in wisdom, are another vital link between foundational Christian truths and the complexities of our global context. For this reason, Reading 1 Peter Missiologically is a significant contribution to both biblical scholarship and mission practice. Examining 1 Peter through a missiological lens unveils the apostle’s strategic approach to cross-cultural evangelism amidst persecution and cultural diversity. It ...
Reading Hebrews and 1 Peter from Majority World Perspectives
The contributors to this volume offer a bold re-reading of Hebrews and 1 Peter from the perspective of the Global South. The chapters provide enriching new hermeneutical and theological insights, revealing facets of the text that may not at first be apparent to readers within a Eurocentric context. The volume is thus able to explore topics ranging from the authorship of Hebrews in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition and the Batak reading of Christus Victor, to a Xhosa perception of the solidarity and sacrifice of Jesus, and intercultural readings of Christian identity in the context of persecution. With an introduction and final response by scholars from the Global North, this volume encourages awareness of how the Global South contributes to world Christianity.
The Dangers of Seminary
"In this book, Abeneazer is calling us to avoid... pitfalls in seminary education. In each of the sixteen chapters, he seeks to challenge and inspire us with godly ideas and advice to take to heart as we embark on a seminary education. The book is filled with wisdom that is shared from one seminary pilgrim to other seminary pilgrims. If heeded, the wisdom and advice in this book will keep many from the dangerous pitfalls in seminary education and instead will prepare people for fruitful Kingdom work. The book is a must read for all who are involved in theological education, whether as veteran biblical or theological scholars or as novice students just starting their seminary education." (From Dr. Frew Tamrat's foreword)
