Editorial :
St Paul and his contemporaries - so runs a commonly accepted scholarly opinion - inhabited a world believed to be dominated by hostile superhuman powers, of whom Jews and Gentiles alike liked in fear. Dr Carr challenges this widespread assumption by means of a detailed examination of various kinds of evidence. First there is the New Testament itself. The general Mediterranean cultural background of the first century is also important, and the author looks at evidence from the early Church Fathers and gnostic material. He concludes that the notion of mighty forces of evil ranged against man was not part of the earliest Christian understanding of the world and the gospel. His argument has special significance in the light of the belief that a present-day interpretation may be given to the idea of hostile powers and their conquest by Christ, thus supporting political, social and ethical thinking within the Christian Church.
This short, well-written book offers sane and sensible solutions to our major economic problems: deficits, inequality, education, health care and financial sector reform. Including the bits and pieces he produced for what he considered his masterpiece, 'Answered Prayers'. Iannuzzi is Senior Director of Product Stewardship and Worldwide Environment, Health & Safety at Johnson & Johnson, a $14 billion healthcare products company. O'Regan uses both approaches and makes no apologies for his futurist interpretation, yes many of those things in Revelation refer to first century events but the book has multiple layers of meaning and one text can actually refer to two separate meanings/events.
Some of the historical events that O'Regan ties into prophetical biblical texts are:
* The return of the Jews to Israel
* The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem possibly being the abomination of desolation
* The Orthodox split from the Roman Catholic Church
* Fatima and Zeitoun
