The Apostle Paul's negative statements about the law have deafened the ears of many to the grace that Moses proclaims in Deuteronomy. Most Christians have a dim view of this book, which they consider to be primarily a book of laws. However, when we read or hear it read orally without prejudice, we discover that rather than casting Moses as a legislator, he appears as Israel's first pastor, whose congregation has gathered before him to hear him preach his final sermons. Accordingly, Deuteronomy represents prophetic preaching at its finest, as Moses seeks to inspire the people of God to a life of faith and godliness in response to God's repeated demonstrations of grace. Deuteronomy is a dead book for many, because we have not recognized this gospel; we have heard only law. The essays in this collection arise from a larger project driven by a passion to recover for Christians the life-giving message of the Hebrew Scriptures in general, and to open their ears to God's amazing grace in Deuteronomy in particular. The wide-ranging "meditations" in this volume do not all focus equally on the topic of God's grace, but this theme undergirds them all.

Does the Old Testament have an optimistic outlook for the people of God, ancient Israel, or is it pessimistic? The strands of optimism and pessimism seem to be juxtaposed throughout. In this study of Deuteronomy, a linchpin book within the Old Testament, the so-called tensions between optimism and pessimism are shown to cohere theologically. Despite the faithlessness of Israel, Yahweh's faithfulness to his promises results in the triumph of grace.

God is kind and merciful and does not want anyone to perish. He desires to relate with you and that is why He created you. To ensure that you are reconnected to Him and that you are saved He sent His son. Jesus came to justify you and make you acceptable to God. He accomplished this at His death on the cross for those who believe and accept His finished work. Those who depend on the keeping of the Old Testament law to be saved are under a curse because the scripture says that if one faults in one, one is guilty of breaking all (Jam. 2:10). It means that rarely will anyone be saved, but it is not God's wish. If that was His wish, He would not have paid such a costly prize for the world. For the above reason, God made a new law which is less burdensome and more practicable when He saw that you are not able to keep the old law as expected. Jesus who encouraged you to forgive unconditionally and who gave His life to wash away your sins and who is presently interceding for you will not judge and condemn you if you accept Him and His offer of grace. This book emphasizes that (1) Jesus will never reject those who accept His finished work on the cross and states that having accepted Jesus as their personal lord and savior, they will no longer be condemned. Jesus did not reject any of His disciples their weaknesses notwithstanding. He rather declared them holy (Jn. 13:1aEUR"13). By so doing, He showed us that those who accept Him will not be rejected by His father whose desire it is that all be saved. God will not reject you. You are the only one who can deny yourself entrance. In John 6:37aEUR"40, Jesus said that all that His father gave Him will come to Him and all that come to Him, He will not cast away. (2) It shows the mercy of God to humanity and sets to guide man to accept His grace. (3) It illustrates how the mercy of God through Christ triumphed over the judgement of the Old Testament through Moses. (4) It will help you understand the consequences of sin on Christians and non-Christians and states that without Jesus you cannot withstand the fiery darts of the enemy. (5) It points out the functions of the Old Testament and the New Testament laws. (6) It highlights ways of worshiping God, why some prayers are not answered and the prerequisite for getting prayers answered. (7) Stresses the importance of the study and obedience to the word of God. This book will guide you to live a holy and peaceful life, free from the burden of sin and sin consciousness as it points out the negative effects of sin consciousness; anxiety, worry, fear, uncontrolled talking, lack of contentment and a new form of idol worship. It integrated the views of some renowned men of God and authors and quoted the bible extensively. It challenges the idea that Christians would be judged and consequently questions the good in the good news of the birth and death of Jesus if after accepting Jesus as your personal lord and savior Christians would be judged and condemned if they slip in error. In addition to that, the scriptures did not say that Christians would be judged but the world.

This is a sequel to Richard Viladesau's well-received study, The Beauty of the Cross: The Passion of Christ in Theology and the Arts from the Catacombs to the Eve of the Renaissance. It continues his project of presenting theological history by using art as both an independent religious or theological "text" and as a means of understanding the cultural context for academic theology. Viladesau argues that art and symbolism function as alternative strands of theological expression sometimes parallel to, sometimes interwoven with, and sometimes in tension with formal theological reflection on the meaning of crucifixion and its role in salvation history. This book examines the two great revolutionary movements that gave birth to the modern West: the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation. This period was eventful for both theology and art, and thus particularly fruitful for Viladesau's project. Using individual works of art, over sixty of which are reproduced in this book, to epitomize particular artistic and theological models, he explores the contours of each paradigm through the works of representative theologians as well as liturgical, poetic, artistic, and musical sources. To name a few examples, the theologies of Savonarola, Luther, Calvin, and the Council of Trent, are examined in correlation to the new situation of art in the era of Fra Angelico, Leonardo, Michelangelo, D?rer, Cranach, and the Mannerists. In this book, Viladesau continues to deepen our understanding of the foremost symbol of Christianity.
