Dan Lioy Libri

Exploring the theme of "divine sabotage," this work delves into the book of Ecclesiastes, highlighting the tension between humanity's innate desire for eternity and the limitations imposed by God. Dan Lioy emphasizes that while God has instilled a longing for the eternal in human hearts, individuals struggle to comprehend His overarching plan due to their temporal existence. This examination reveals how the constraints of time hinder the ability to grasp the past or anticipate the future, ultimately shaping the human experience of faith and understanding.

Focusing on the theological interpretation of John 1-12, the author argues that Jesus embodies the divine, incarnate Torah, positioning Him as the central figure of the Fourth Gospel. The study examines how Jesus fulfills the Mosaic law and serves as the realization of its prophetic and redemptive elements. Additionally, it asserts that believers who place their faith in Jesus and follow His teachings fully meet the moral law's requirements as outlined in Scripture.

With Uplifted Head: Preaching Hope is a book that exalts Christ by giving insight into the biblical teaching about hope. The book also shows interested readers how to preach in a way that will foster hope among members of their congregations. Because the book is designed for both pastors and lay church leaders, it does more than just present a theological understanding of biblical hope. It also has plenty of suggestions for preaching hope directly and indirectly. The authors maintain that only biblical hope, focused on the resurrection and affirmed by the renewing Holy Spirit, can change believers internally and create anticipation for a future in the presence of the living God.

Exploring the discourse of Paul, Dan Lioy presents a compelling analysis of the Christocentric and Christotelic elements within his writings. The study begins with the Old Adamic creation and delves into key themes such as new creation theology, apocalyptic views, and the theology of the cross. Lioy further investigates the Old Testament's impact on Paul's Christology, the role of Satan, and parallels with the letter from James. He also contrasts the authenticity of the Adam character in relation to Paul's teachings and Genesis narratives, positioning Paul as a new Moses.

The book explores the intersection of biblical theology and evolutionary creation, arguing for a harmony between natural revelations and Scripture. It posits that biological evolution, supported by fossil records, genomic evidence, and morphological data, provides the most compelling scientific explanation for the origins of carbon-based life on Earth. This analysis challenges traditional views on creation, emphasizing a cohesive understanding of divine revelation in both nature and religious texts.

In this work, Dan Lioy first investigates the biblical concept of the law. He then conducts a thoroughgoing analysis of the Decalogue and the Sermon on the Mount. He gives particular attention to the connection between these two great bodies of biblical literature. The result is a comprehensive study that argues for the enduring relevance of the moral law. This volume is appropriate for personal study and is also suitable as a college and seminary text.
