This series aims to explore the Bible’s use of the imagery of a Roman triumph. The New Testament twice employs the Greek word ‘thriambeuo’ - meaning ‘to lead in a triumphal procession’. We’d like to view the big picture of the progress of Christianity in strategic terms as a triumphal procession through the world, and across the pages of history.
A treatment of the final chapter of James from which much controversy has arisen regarding faith healing - how does what James say interface with Christian engagement with modern medical practice?
As the Apostle Paul opens his Bible letter to Christians at Rome, he gives 4 robust reasons to believe in the existence of God. So robust, in fact, they are still cutting-edge today, capable of demonstrating the bankrupcy of the rantings of Dawkins et al.
The letter to the Hebrews is surely the greatest teaching letter in the Bible. It describes the Christian's hope in worship. This is quite distinct from the hope of the Gospel and of our Lord's return. It comprises a spiritual experience which is available now. We have not understood corporate worship until we discover this 'out of this world' worship invitation!
