Andrew Brunson - Böcker

The incredible true story of one man's imprisonment for the gospel; his brokenness, God's faithfulness and his eventual freedom. In 1993, Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey, the largest unevangelised country in the world, to serve as a missionary. Though hesitant because of the daunting and dangerous task that lay ahead, Andrew and his wife, Norine, believed this was God's plan for them. What followed was a string of threats and attacks,but also successes in starting new churches in a place where many people had never met a Christian. As their work with refugees from Syria, including Kurds, gained attention and suspicion, Andrew and Norine acknowledged the threat but accepted the risk, determining to stay unless God told them to leave. In 2016, they were arrested. Though the State eventually released Norine, who remained in Turkey, Andrew was imprisoned. Accused of being a spy and being among the plotters of the attempted coup, he became a political pawn whose story soon became known around the world. This is Andrew's remarkable story of his imprisonment and journey of faith.

Andrew Brunson untersucht die Funktion des Zitats von Psalm 118 im Johannes-Evangelium. Sein Schwerpunkt liegt auf einer Interpretation im Kontext des Neuen Exodus, die bisher nicht auf das vierte Evangelium angewendet wurde. Einem Überblick über den jüdischen Hintergrund von Psalm 118, seiner Rolle bei Feiertagen und seiner Anwendung in den Synoptischen Evangelien folgt eine genaue Analyse des Psalm-Zitats in der Einzugserzählung. Hier argumentiert der Autor, daß Jesus das Ende des fortdauernden Exils der Israeliten bringt, indem er die Rolle des Vaters ausfüllt.
