Christianity is the largest religion in the US with upwards of 200 million people, and its churches often possess an allure and beauty that fascinate even the most committed atheist. What fascinates Fergus Butler-Gallie is that each place of worship tells a story—of place, time, and most of all, people.

We have misunderstood Paul, badly. We have read his words through our own set of assumptions. We need to begin with Paul's world view, to see things the way he saw them. What if "original sin" was never part of Paul's thinking? What if the idea that we are saved by faith in Christ, as Luther argued, was based on a mistranslation of Paul's words and a misunderstanding of Paul's thinking?

Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher, theologian, and religious author interested in human psychology. He is regarded as a leading pioneer of existentialism and one of the greatest philosophers of the 19th Century.

What Really Happened During Jesus' Last Hours Before the Cross? Many have heard the story before — that Christ died, was buried, and rose again — but what about the days and hours leading up to His crucifixion? What happened in those critical moments, and why did it happen? Presenting Scripture as well as the writings of Early Church fathers, Rick documents the journey of Christ from the Garden to the Cross and beyond, revealing: Why hundreds of soldiers — not just a few — met Jesus to arrest Him. The details of "the Judas kiss" and Judas’ fatal flaw from the beginning.

Here is an unflinching look at the lives and sacrifices of those first Christians who were given the task of spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

In this volume, the author paints a picture of Bunyan’s life, borrowing from multiple viewpoints and biographers, and gives a much broader picture of the man behind one of the most timeless books ever written, which in turn gives us a deeper respect for this persecuted saint.

The end of the ancient world was long regarded by historians as a time of decadence, decline, and fall. In his career-long engagement with this era, the widely acclaimed and pathbreaking historian Peter Brown has shown, however, that the "neglected half-millennium" now known as late antiquity was crucial to the development of modern Europe and the Middle East. In Journeys of the Mind, Brown recounts his life and work, describing his efforts to recapture the spirit of an age.

In this rich and definitive study, renowned scholar Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks explores the history of women and the Reformations in full for the first time.

Calvin. Luther. Knox. Vermigli. In recent years, the Reformed world has seen a resurgence of interest in recovering the doctrinal work of these men and others from the shadows of centuries gone by. This work of retrieval often requires courage, as we modern heirs of the Reformers inevitably discover that some of what we thought to be “Reformed” proved to be theological novelty in the face of the primary sources. We often discover that 19th- and 20th-century social movements and cultural pressures have successfully smuggled their ideas into the bedrock of our thinking.

When we talk about Jesus, we are always unanimous in answering that Jesus Christ is the Savior, is the son of God or God with us. A habit inherited from the Christian culture of repeating concepts that are transmitted to us about Jesus. Generally, the definition of Jesus Christ is made in a laconic and habitual way of seeing this character that runs through our history. This entity has settled in our history, and that his image does not wear out over time. That is, it doesn’t lose value.

Jesus's command to the disciples to heal the sick and cast out demons was an integral part of the proclamation of the gospel of the Kingdom of God in the early centuries of the church. Did we lose God's gift of healing and deliverance in the church as the centuries rolled on? Can we mesh Christian healing with scientific progress? A Case for Healing Today presents biblical, historical, and theological perspectives on Christian healing. Through an understanding of author Bob Sawvelle's meticulous research, Christians can proclaim and demonstrate the good news of God's healing presence today.

This is a book about reading the Greco-Roman classics as Christians—the why, the how, and to a lesser extent, the when. This exercise, equal parts intellectual and spiritual, is timely. Just as our bodies are what we eat, so are our minds what we consume. The past few years have seen the appearance of books on the value of literature in nourishing our minds and souls—developing the practice of reading not just the Bible but all that we read for spiritual formation. Most such books have focused largely on medieval and modern literature, involving antiquity only occasionally.

Christianity believes every religion, faith and religious organization — aside from Christianity - is a cult. In actuality, by its very definition, every religion is a cult, including the religion — the cult - of Christianity. In his bold, yet controversial new book, The Cult of Christianity, Mike Williams takes on the religious dogmas, oral traditions, borrowed myths and outright lies that make up so much of what Christians believe, and from which they need to be freed.

St. Frances of Rome (1384–1440) displayed mystical gifts from childhood. Though she longed to remain a virgin, her parents arranged a marriage for her, and, as a wife and mother, she led a devout life that mirrored that of a consecrated religious, through fervent prayer and tireless works of charity. In fact, she founded a community of Benedictine oblates who live according to the Rule of St. Benedict, each according to her own state in life; the community now counts thousands of members worldwide. Frequently, St.

This study is a profound blessing for listeners seeking to understand the fascinating intersections between Kabbalah and Christianity. Triggered by a statement from Gershom Scholem regarding the prophetic revelations of Abraham Ben Samuel Abulafia, we delve into a world where unintentional similarities with Christian doctrine caused confusion among Abulafia's pupils, some of whom even accepted baptism.

The Bible. God inspired it. But who wrote it? The Bible is called "the Word of God" because God inspired it, but that's not precisely the same as saying that He wrote it. In fact, the Bible itself contains dozens of statements showing who the human authors were. As with so many things in our world, God the Almighty did His work through human agents, agents that He moved to write down the words by which He has inspired, informed, and encouraged His people for thousands of years.
