Warum fasziniert uns die Geschichte von Adam und Eva noch heute? Unsere Vorstellungen vom Paradies, von Scham und Sünde, unsere Ideen von Gut und Böse und unser Frauenbild – wie sehr wurden sie von dieser Urerzählung geprägt? Bestsellerautor und Pulitzer-Preisträger Stephen Greenblatt widmet sich diesem mächtigsten aller Menschheitsmythen.

The history of the ancient world is often told through the grand narratives of massive empires, sweeping conquests, and the rise and fall of legendary kings. We read of Alexander the Great marching his Macedonian armies across the known world, shattering the Persian Empire, and leaving a cultural legacy that transformed the Mediterranean and the Near East forever.

The landscape of the ancient Near East was a tapestry woven with historical realities and mythic shadows. Among the most imposing figures to emerge from this primordial backdrop is Og, the King of Bashan. Mentioned across multiple books of the Hebrew Bible, Og stands as a towering, enigmatic monolith at the crossroads of Israel's exodus and the conquest of the Promised Land. He was not merely a foreign monarch defending his borders; he was a living relic of a bygone era, the final vestige of an ancient race of giants known as the Rephaim.

Die Autorin beobachtet mit Sorge, wie weltweit in unterschiedlichen Religionsgemeinschaften zunehmend eine radikal-konservative Haltung aus den jeweiligen Schriften herausgelesen wird, weil die alten Texte wortwörtlich genommen werden.

The Book of Jasher stands as one of the most captivating, enigmatic, and influential texts outside the traditional Biblical canon.

The Old Testament tells a story primarily written to, by, and about people of the land―the promised land and its neighboring territories. Those at home on the sea were almost always portrayed as enemies by those authors. But with the New Testament comes a startling shift of focus: The...

Did you know that the apostle Simeon was nicknamed Niger… pronounced NEE-GER in Latin? Growing up, I was taught that it was pronounced ny-jer, so I never gave it any additional thought. A couple of years ago, a friend of mine brought up the reference in Acts, which motivated me to give it a second look. Let’s start by looking at the verse:

The Chinese Communist Party and their world dominion objective is the biggest enemy of religion and religious people around the world. China is at war with faith. It is a war they must not win. The future of the free world depends on it. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spends billions of dollars annually to either control or exterminate people of all faiths. It is a strategic imperative for them. Christians, Buddhist, Muslims, Falun Gong, and more are seen as a threat to the control of China and the world by the CCP. Three genocides are going on right now inside China.

The Arrival is an invitation to step into the Christmas story that has been shaping humanity from the beginning. For generations, people had heard whispers of Someone who would come. A promise carried through stories, hopes, and expectations. Some were watching. Some were waiting. Many had stopped paying attention. And then… He arrived. But the arrival was not what anyone expected. Told through the lives of ordinary people —those who were curious, skeptical, searching, or simply trying to survive —The Arrival explores what it feels like to encounter Jesus in real time.
