The Archaeology of Ancient Israelite Knowledge reconstructs in carefully researched detail the worldview of the ancient Israelites writers responsible for the Hebrew Bible. What was the role of God in their lives? How did they see the relationship between God, nature, and themselves? Contrary to prevailing scholarly understanding, Robert Kawashima argues that the ancient Israelites saw God in a radically different way than the peoples around them. God no longer interconnected everything—humans, nature—but became seen as sharply separated from nature.

Thomas H. York explores Christian deconstruction in its intellectual, ethical, political and interpersonal dimensions, to help pastors and leaders understand the mindset of those reexamining faith in the 21st century context. Reflections on U.S. history connect these issues to major 19th and 20th century movements of moral reform including the abolitionist movement and the civil rights movement.

John Montgomery examines Martin Luther and the German Reformation; Ulrich Zwingli and the Swiss Reformation; the principles for interpreting the Bible by comparison of the approaches of Zwingli and Luther; the life, times, and thought of John Calvin; and the influence of the Bible Reformers, especially Martin Luther, on artists such as Bach and Mendelsohn compared to 20th century artists such as Picasso.

Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence. Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.

Er wurde vom Herrn angewiesen, eine Arche zu bauen, in der er, seine Familie und eine große Anzahl von Vögeln und von Landtieren hineinbringen sollte, damit sie nicht von der Flut ertränkt würden. Gottes Entscheidung, eine Sintflut über die Erde zu bringen, wurde durch die Realität des Bösen, das er von den Menschen ausgeübt sah, tief beeinflusst. Das Lied von Chey, "The Book of Life" am Ende der Predigt gibt den Zuhörern die Möglichkeit, über die Predigt nachzudenken.

The entire Christian faith depends on the belief that Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead. If there was no empty tomb, Christians have an empty faith. But how can we be confident the resurrection really happened? In this concise booklet, author Timothy Paul Jones addresses the doubts and questions that arise from Jesus's resurrection as recorded in the New Testament. Jones argues this story is not a mere repetition of old pagan tales or a fabrication to fulfill Jewish expectations.

From the garden of Eden to the garden of Gethsemane, trees have borne silent witness to the long arc of our redemption story. Christmas is more than a holiday we observe each year—it's a special piece of a much bigger story.

Decolonizing Palestine challenges the weaponization of biblical texts to support the current settler-colonial state of Israel.
