The Gospels And Christian Life reads the four canonical Gospels as handbooks for religious formation through communal practices. The book focuses on the communities that produced each gospel, the dynamic energy each gospel displays for creating and sustaining community life, the different interpretations of the person of Jesus, and the different systems of organization and leadership each gospel promulgated. The authors carefully describe the social context of each Gospel and delineate the practices the texts prescribe. Each gospel has an imaginative portal, an introductory chapter introducing the necessary background for understanding the social, intellectual, and religious setting for each gospel. Their reading of each Gospel builds on these foundations to illustrate the nature and scope of the community's practices. Their work starts from the assumption that the communities did not look to the Gospels for biographical data on the life of Jesus to offer the reader a powerful reading of each Gospel community, its unique practices, and the way people were trained to become members of it. This book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate teachers and students, pastors, and the general audience eager for new ways to understand the New Testament.

Moonlit Allegiance: Where Blood and Fur Entwine In a world shrouded in twilight, where ancient hatreds run deep and the line between predator and prey blurs with each passing moon, three unlikely heroes will rise to challenge the very foundations of their society. "Moonlit Allegiance," the electrifying debut novel from Evelyn Nightshade, plunges readers into the heart of Shadowmere – a hidden realm where vampires and werewolves have waged a centuries-old war, their conflict as eternal as the night itself. Lyra, a hybrid born of both vampire and werewolf blood, has spent her life caught between two worlds, belonging to neither. Her very existence is a closely guarded secret, for in her courses the power to either unite their fractured society or tear it apart forever. When a fateful encounter brings her face to face with Kael, the passionate and headstrong heir to the werewolf pack, and Seraphina, the cunning and beautiful vampire princess, Lyra's carefully constructed world begins to crumble. As an ancient prophecy stirs and long-forgotten magics awaken, these three find themselves drawn together by forces beyond their understanding. Their growing bond – a love that defies the boundaries of blood and fur – becomes both their greatest strength and their most vulnerable point. For in Shadowmere, love between sworn enemies is the gravest taboo of all. Against a backdrop of political intrigue, age-old vendettas, and looming cosmic threats, Lyra, Kael, and Seraphina must navigate the treacherous waters of their own hearts while striving to prevent an apocalyptic war that threatens to consume not just Shadowmere, but the human world beyond. Their journey will take them from the glittering vampire courts of Nocturna to the primal depths of the Silverpelt Forest, from the mystical expanses of the Veiled Vale to the echoing chambers of long-buried secrets. As they uncover the truth about their shared history and the cosmic forces that shaped their world, our heroes face challenges that will test not just their strength and cunning, but the very essence of who they are.

Their journey towards understanding and acceptance – of themselves and each other – mirrors the larger themes of unity and reconciliation that run throughout the novel. But "Moonlit Allegiance" is more than just a tale of forbidden love. It's an exploration of the destructive power of prejudice and the strength found in diversity. It challenges readers to question long-held beliefs and to see the world through the eyes of those they once considered enemies. As our heroes strive to forge a new future for Shadowmere, they offer a poignant reflection on our own world's struggles with division and the ongoing fight for equality and understanding. The novel builds to a heart-stopping climax as cosmic forces converge on Shadowmere, threatening to tear apart the very fabric of their world. Lyra, Kael, and Seraphina must make choices that will determine not just their own fates, but the destiny of every being in Shadowmere.
