If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness. Cynthia Bourgeault is a masterful guide to Jesus' vision and to the traditional contemplative practices you can use to experience the heart of his teachings for yourself.

Are our lives meaningful, or meaningless? Is our inevitable death a bad thing? Would immortality be an improvement? Would it be better to hasten our deaths by suicide? Many people ask these big questions—and some people are plagued by them. Analytic philosophers have said relatively little about these important questions. The Human Predicament invites listeners to take a clear-eyed and unfettered view of the human condition.

The Numbered Discourses (A?guttara Nikaya) is the last and longest of the four primary divisions of the Sutta Pi?aka, (Baskets of Discourses) that make up the main original teachings of the Buddha. The word a?guttara literally means 'up by one factor', i.e. 'incremental'. It refers to the fact...

Although most people acknowledge that Jesus was a first-century Jew, interpreters of the Gospels often present him as opposed to Jewish law and customs—especially when considering his numerous encounters with the ritually impure. Matthew Thiessen corrects this popular misconception by placing Jesus within the Judaism of his day. Thiessen demonstrates that the Gospel writers depict Jesus opposing ritual impurity itself, not the Jewish ritual purity system or the Jewish law.

In the book of Genesis, God bestows a new name upon Abram - Abraham, a father of many nations. With this name and his covenant, Abraham would become the patriarch of three of the world's major religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Connected by their mutual - if differentiated - veneration of the one God proclaimed by Abraham, these traditions share much beyond their origins in the ancient Israel of the Old Testament. This Very Short Introduction audiobook explores the intertwined histories of these monotheistic religions.

At a time in which some within the African American community are questioning the place of the Christian faith in the struggle for justice, New Testament scholar McCaulley argues that reading Scripture from the perspective of Black church tradition is invaluable for connecting with a rich faith history and addressing the urgent issues of our times. 

A staggeringly popular work of fiction, Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code has sold in its millions. But this fast-paced mystery is unusual in that the author states up front that the historical information in the book is all factually accurate. But is this claim true? As historian Bart D Ehrman shows in this informative and witty book, The Da Vinci Code is filled with numerous historical mistakes.

In this landmark book of interfaith dialogue, the Dalai Lama provides an extraordinary Buddhist perspective on the teachings of Jesus, commenting on well-known passages from the four Christian Gospels including the Sermon on the Mount, the parable of the mustard seed, the Resurrection, and others. Drawing parallels between Jesus and the Buddha - and the rich traditions from which they hail - His Holiness delivers a profound affirmation of the sacred in all religions.

In his new book, When a Jew Rules the World, Richardson paints a picture of what that 1,000-year reign will be like, along the way blow-torching the notion that gentile Christians have "replaced" the Jews and Israel as the people of promise. Richardson lays out the tragic history of anti-Semitism within the church from the very beginning in what may be the most thorough repudiation of what has become known as “Replacement Theology,” or, as Richardson calls it, “Supersessionism.”

For more than a century, archaeologists have been unearthing the tombs, temples, texts, and artifacts of the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean world. Using new approaches, contemporary scholars have begun to synthesize this material with the biblical traditions. The Oxford History of the Biblical World incorporates the best of this scholarship, and in chronologically ordered chapters presents the listener with an integrated study of the history, art, architecture, languages, literatures, and religion of biblical Israel and early Judaism and Christianity in their larger cultural contexts.

The teachings of Jesus have been utterly misunderstood for 2,000 years. This has had devastating consequences for millions of individuals and entire countries–consider all the wars of religion. Jesus himself explicitly said that he was talking to the masses in code.

L'"Épître aux Galates" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Cette lettre est envoyée par l'apôtre Paul aux églises de Galatie. La date de rédaction est estimée entre 47 et 58 de notre ère, mais la plupart des historiens s'accordent sur une datation autour de 50/51 soit une vingtaine d'années après la crucifixion de Jésus. Il se qualifie comme "apôtre, non de la part des hommes ni par l'intermédiaire d'un homme, mais par Jésus-Christ et Dieu le Père qui l'a ressuscité des morts."

L'"Évangile selon Luc" est le troisième des quatre Évangiles canoniques. La tradition chrétienne lui attribue pour auteur le personnage appelé "Luc le bon médecin" dans certaines lettres de Paul de Tarse. Comme l'Évangile selon Marc, son texte se présente comme une biographie de Jésus de Nazareth. La généalogie de Jésus, dans l'évangile selon Saint Luc, est une généalogie ascendante, de Jésus à Adam, père de l'humanité, et passant par Nathan, autre fils de David.

Interpret Jürgen Fliege zu seinem Hörbuch: Markus schreibt im Jahre 65 als Erster der vier Evangelisten sein Evangelium aus vielen kleinen einzelnen Schriftstücken und mündlichen Überlieferungen nieder. Er ist einer der Gebrüder Grimm der damaligen Zeit, der sammeln geht, eine Geschichte nach der anderen schreibt und sie konzeptionell damit verbindet, dass zu Lebzeiten nicht rauskommen durfte wer Jesus ist. Bei Markus sollte den Leuten erst im Nachhinein bewusst werden, wer da eigentlich über die Welt gegangen ist.

Interpret Jürgen Fliege zu seinem Hörbuch: Johannes schreibt im Jahre 105 als letzter der vier Altevangelisten seine Geschichte nieder.

Die kennt Licht, Finsternis und Logos - drei Begriffe, die Johannes als Grundpfeiler seines Evangeliums dienen.

Die Sonderveröffentlichung "Die Ostergeschichte" knüpft konzeptionell an den Aufbau des Hörbuchs "Die Weihnachtsgeschichte" an. Neben der Lesung der Ostertexte interpretiert Jürgen Fliege liebevoll wie hinterfragend die Ostergeschichte anhand seiner eigenen Erfahrungen, mit denen er dem Zuhörer Einblicke "zwischen die Zeilen" der Bibel eröffnet.

James was a vegetarian, wore only linen clothing, bathed daily at dawn in cold water, and was a life-long Nazirite. In this profound and provocative work of scholarly detection, eminent biblical scholar Robert Eisenman introduces a startling theory about the identity of James - the brother of Jesus - who was almost entirely marginalized in the New Testament.
