Bendita Sea Su Nombre es una adaptación en prosa de un guion “inspirado” escrito por Barbara Oleynick en el año 2000. La obra se basa en los escritos espirituales de María de Jesús de Ágreda, devota monja franciscana nacida en Ágreda, España, conocida como Sor María de Ágreda (1602–1665).

What if we have been missing a whole stage of how the canonical gospels came to be? What if there were a whole raft of prior Jesus narratives, the fragmentary vestiges of which now appear in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? This would explain why these gospels seem over-crowded with incompatible understandings of Jesus ("Christologies")?

The Gospel of Thomas is a lost and rediscovered voice from the earliest days of Christianity—a collection of secret sayings attributed to Jesus that point not to external authority, but to inner revelation. Long excluded from the biblical canon, this text invites the listener into a world where enlightenment comes through self-knowledge and awakening to the divine already within.

If you have ever wondered exactly how we got from the Christian society of the early centuries, united in its faithfulness to apostolic tradition, to the fragmented and secular state of the West today, The Age of Division will answer all your questions and more. In this second of a four-volume cultural history of Christendom, author John Strickland applies insights from the Orthodox Church to trace the decline and disintegration of both East and West after the momentous but often neglected Great Schism.

Was Jesus a mainstream or sectarian Jew, as the scholarly consensus tells us? This view—that we must automatically adopt Second Temple Judaism as the paradigm in which to interpret or reconstruct the historical Jesus—is often presented as self-evident, unquestionable, and beyond dispute. However, the promotion of the Jewish Jesus raises serious questions—specifically, whether this consensus is the product of theological and ecumenical agendas. In Judaizing Jesus, noted scholar Robert M.

“William Tyndale” tells the gripping true story of a man whose pen reshaped the English-speaking world. In an age when possessing a Bible in English could cost you your life, William Tyndale dared to defy kings, challenge popes, and bring the Word of God to the common people. This richly detailed and historically grounded narrative traces Tyndale’s journey from humble beginnings in Gloucestershire to the intellectual crucible of Oxford and Cambridge, and finally to his perilous mission across Europe.

By the close of World War II, six million Jews had been erased from the face of the earth. Those who eluded death had lost their homes, families, and entire way of life. Their response was quintessentially Jewish. From a people with a long-history of self-narration, survivors gathered in groups and wrote books, yizkor books, remembering all that had been destroyed. Jane Ziegelman’s Once There Was a Town takes listeners on a journey through this largely uncharted body of writing and the vanished world it depicts.

Erasmus of Rotterdam is usually remembered as a gentle humanist, a champion of learning, moderation, and civilized reform. This book proposes a more unsettling and far more compelling portrait. A Spy of Rotterdam: Erasmus Between Wisdom and Folly presents Erasmus not as a harmless moralist or a failed revolutionary, but as a uniquely positioned observer who survived one of Europe’s most violent intellectual ruptures by mastering the art of influence without allegiance.

What was the early Church like? Contrary to popular belief, Rod Bennett shows there is a reliable way to know.

Join me on a journey through scripture and history as I explore the evidence that giants once lived—not only in the Promised Land, but across the world, and even here in the heart of America. My research takes me deep into the ancient Ozarks, where the stories of unearthed remains and forgotten discoveries—like those documented by Reverend Sterling Newberry—may hold the key to proving that giants once roamed these hills.

Step into the earliest generations of Christianity with two powerful texts tied to one of the apostolic fathers: Polycarp of Smyrna.

Are western Muslims an endangered species, or are they the future of Islam? The accelerated adaptation and change western Muslims are pushed to make in order just to survive has galvanized them into a serious effort of rethinking and reflection. This has, in turn, moved the worldwide debate on Islamic reform into a new higher gear.

Did the early Church expect to escape the final persecution—or to endure it? For more than a century, modern pre-tribulation rapture theology has promised believers a “Great Escape” from the rise of the Antichrist and the final tribulation. Yet this teaching did not originate with Jesus, the apostles, or the early Church. In The Great Escape Delusion, Bible teacher Glenn Langohr examines this doctrine in light of Scripture and the unified witness of early Christian writers.

Jewish Megatrends offers a vision for a community that can simultaneously strengthen the institutions that serve those who seek greater Jewish identification and attract younger Jews, many of whom are currently outside the orbit of Jewish communal life. Schwarz and his collaborators provide an exciting path, building on proven examples, that we ignore at our peril.

The truths of every religion are typically challenged and re-written, serving as potent grounds for some of history’s most enduring debates and conflicts. Perhaps no other religious tradition suffers as much from the dualistic fallacy of good and evil than does Islam. What does it mean to be Muslim today? Orthodoxy’s interpretation is idyllic and omniscient, simplistic to a fault. Islamophobes at the opposite end of the spectrum, cultivating damaging stereotypes that present a religion that most Muslims cannot relate to.

Exemption of Ra is not a spiritual guide, a belief system, or a work of metaphor. It is a forensic restoration of how human orientation to reality was disrupted, regulated, and redirected through language, posture, sound, and authority.
