Patrick Gray Bücher

Mit fünfzehn erleidet Justin einen Verkehrsunfall, der eine voranschreitende Autoimmunerkrankung auslöst. Als er seine Arme und Beine nicht mehr bewegen kann, ist er auf den Rollstuhl angewiesen. Sein großer Traum: eine Pilgerreise auf dem Jakobsweg in Nordspanien. Als er Patrick, seinem Freund seit Kindertagen, davon erzählt, zögert dieser keinen Moment, sich mit ihm auf das Abenteuer einzulassen. Die Reise bringt beide an ihre Grenzen, doch gemeinsam bewältigen sie die 800 Kilometer lange Strecke. Ein ungewöhnlich starkes Zeugnis von Mut, Glauben, wahrer Freundschaft und unbedingtem Vertrauen, das anregt, zu wagen, was man nie für möglich hielt.

"A theological argument against the heresy that God is male and an affirmation of the truth that God values women, supported by a deep reading of the New Testament incarnation narratives and other relevant biblical texts"-- Provided by publisher

"When Justin was diagnosed with a neuromuscular disease that robbed him of the use of his arms and legs, Patrick was there, helping to feed and care for him in ways he'd never imagined. Determined to live life to the fullest, the friends refused to give into despair or let physical limitations control what was possible for Justin. So when Justin heard about the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile trek through Spain, he wondered aloud to Patrick whether the two of them could ever do it. Patrick's immediate response was: 'I'll push you'"--

As one of the most significant figures in the history of Western civilization, the apostle Paul has influenced and inspired countless individuals and institutions. But for some, he holds a controversial place in Christianity. This engaging book explores why many people have been wary of Paul and what their criticisms reveal about the church and the broader culture. Patrick Gray brings intellectual and cultural history into conversation with study of the New Testament, providing a balanced account and assessment of widespread antipathy to Paul and exploring what the controversy tells us about ourselves.

This volume offers a compact introduction to one of the most daunting texts in the New Testament. The Letter to the Hebrews has inspired many readers with its encomium to faith, troubled others with its hard sayings on the impossibility of a second repentance, and perplexed still others with its exegetical assumptions and operations drawn from a cultural matrix that is largely alien to modern sensibilities. Long thought to be Paul, the anonymous author of Hebrews exhibits points of continuity with the apostle and other New Testament writers in the letter's (or sermon's) vision of life in the light of the crucified Messiah, but one also finds distinctive perspectives in such areas as Christology, eschatology, and atonement. Gray and Peeler survey the salient historical, social, and rhetorical factors to be considered in the interpretation of this document, as well as its theological, liturgical, and cultural legacy. They invite readers to enter the world of one of the boldest Christian thinkers of the first century.
