The history of the Roman Empire is often told through the clashing of swords, the expansion of borders, and the ego of emperors, yet some of its most profound transformations occurred in the quiet, intellectual spaces of a governor’s court. To understand the transition of the Mediterranean world from a tapestry of pagan cults to a landscape dominated by the Christian faith, one must look closely at the figure of Sergius Paulus.

The journey begins on the desolate island of Patmos, where the Apostle John finds himself in exile for his commitment to the Gospel. In the first chapter, the curtain is pulled back to reveal the glorified Christ. This is not the humble carpenter of Nazareth or the suffering servant of the cross; this is the High Priest of heaven, with eyes like blazing fire, a voice like rushing waters, and a face that shines with the brilliance of the sun. He stands among seven golden lampstands, which represent the seven churches of Asia Minor.

Thirteen studies to help you explore your Bible questions. Approaching the Bible topically comes with both a challenge and a danger. The challenge is in the vastness of Scripture—how can you discover the answers to your specific questions among so much information? The danger is in reading Scripture out of context, which is one of the greatest threats to biblical literacy today.

In The Christ-Myth Theory and Its Problems, Robert M. Price, one of America's leading authorities on the Bible, demonstrates that almost the entire "biography” of Jesus is a conscious reworking of earlier literature and shares the evidence that has led him and other scholars to conclude that Christ—a partial synonym for Jesus of Nazareth—is a mythical figure.

The King James Bible is powerful — but its ancient language can feel like a wall between you and the meaning. It doesn't have to be. The Book of Ruth is one of the most beloved stories in all of scripture. It is a story of extraordinary loyalty, quiet faith, and unexpected redemption. But navigating its 17th-century English can make it easy to miss the depth of what is actually being said. The Book of Ruth Decoded removes that barrier, presenting every verse alongside a clear, modern English translation so you can listen to it it, understand it, and decide what it means to you.

What if your faith feels sincere, but scattered — grounded in Scripture, yet hard to explain, apply, or hold steady under pressure?

What does Jesus say and do within the narrative worlds of the New Testament gospels that, through the ages, enabled innumerable gory horrors and immense systemic violence to be perpetrated with his presumed permission? That is the question driving this book. Its compound title, Jesusviolence, simultaneously denotes: first, the violence inflicted on the gospel Jesuses in their narrative worlds; second, the violence enacted by the gospel Jesuses in their narrative worlds; and third, certain of the violence enacted in Jesus's name in our histories and worlds.

Many Christians believe deeply, yet struggle to explain what they believe or how the pieces of faith fit together.

Systematic Theology for Beginners 5-in-1 was written for listeners who want clarity without complexity.

Ein Mann ringt mit Gott – und mit sich selbst. In Ein Handel mit Gott erzählt Matthias Joos von einer persönlichen, spirituellen Reise, die nicht auf Wegen dogmatischer Gewissheit geht, sondern sich zwischen Zweifel, Stille und Gewahrsein entfaltet. Inspiriert vom biblischen Bild Jakobs, der mit Gott ringt und verletzt zurückbleibt, öffnet sich ein poetischer Raum für Fragen, Zweifel, Staunen und stille Gewissheit. Dieses Buch ist kein theologisches Traktat, sondern eine existenzielle Spurensuche.

Believers today are facing a profound spiritual poverty—an ignorance of the women who shaped their faith and an incomplete understanding of the God those women faithfully served. The inspired writers of the Old Testament mention over one hundred women by name and countless others in passing. Yet, how many of us know the stories of these women and the God who wrote them?

As far back as the beginning of time and within every major culture of the ancient world, the astonishingly consistent story is told of gods who descended from heaven and materialized in bodies of flesh. From Rome to Greece and before that, to Egypt, Persia, Assyria, Babylonia, and Sumer the earliest records of civilization tell of the era when powerful beings known to the Hebrews as Watchers and in the book of Genesis as the b'nai ha Elohim ('sons of God') mingled themselves with humans, giving birth to part-celestial, part-terrestrial hybrids known as 'Nephilim.'
