He was a committed Christian, navy corpsman, and devoted pediatrician who became a hero to the countless number of parents whose sick children came under his care. His life impacted many, but it was his writings that truly reveal the profound, intimate relationship he had with the his Lord and Savior. To Know this Mystery is a beautiful collection of poems and essays penned by Lewis L. Bock that were his personal meditations from studying Scripture. Lewis's long-time friend James W. Hardie, along with Lewis's family, offers readers a glimpse into the life of a man who wanted Christ to be seen through his life. Like the Apostle Paul, Lewis never ceased to be amazed and inspired by what Christ had done and was doing in his life. Through his writings, he shares his insights into the mystery spoken of in Colossians.

Download or read book How Do We Know This? written by Jay M. Harris. This book was released on 2012-02-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of rabbinic legal interpretation (midrash) in Judaism's rabbinic, medieval, and modern periods. It shows how the rise of Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox Judaism in the modern period is tied to distinct attitudes toward the classical Jewish heritage, and specifically, toward rabbinic midrash halakah. What has gone unnoticed until now is the extent to which the fragmentation of modern Judaism is related to the interpretative foundations of classical Judaism. As this book demonstrates, spokespersons for any form of Judaism that engaged modernity on any level had to explain the basis for their rejection or continued acceptance of the authority of rabbinically developed law. Inevitably and invariably, this need led them to address anew what were long-standing questions regarding the ancient interpretations of biblical law. Were they compelling? Were they reasonable? Were they still relevant? Each form of Judaism fashioned its own response to these challenges, and each argued forcefully against the responses of the other denominations. Jay M. Harris describes the fragmentation of modern Judaism in terms of each denomination's relationship to classical Judaism's system of interpretation in part two of this book.
