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.

What was the apostle Paul's relationship to Judaism? How did he view the Jewish law? How did he understand the gospel of Jesus's messiahship relative to both ethnic Jews and gentiles? These remain perennial questions both to New Testament scholars and to all serious Bible readers. Respected New Testament scholar Matthew Thiessen offers an important contribution to this discussion. A Jewish Paul is an accessible introduction that situates Paul clearly within first-century Judaism, not opposed to it.

When it comes to religion—and more specifically, Christianity—”God” is a divisive issue. Either you’re a believer who loves him, or an atheist (or other spiritual believer) who denounces his existence and hates him. Who is right? Which side got it correct? Is there even a right answer, or does that become a philosophical question of what “faith” truly is? In Dr. DuWayne A. Carlson’s new book Atheistic Christianity, the topic of “God” transcends conventional belief systems as the author encourages listeners to cultivate a different view.

Hoping in the LORD (Vol. 3 of General Counsel Series) draws upon high points of the Bible—from Matthew to John–to teach us how Jesus carries us to the Promised Land.

What was God doing between the Old and New Testaments? There was a four-hundred-year gap between the last Old Testament prophet and the New Testament arrival of Jesus Christ. It’s called the Intertestamental period. In that time period, there were some very significant things happening and they were related to the Bible and its prophecies as described by the prophet Daniel. This book explores some of the biblical and historical meaning of it all.

The Book of Job tells us of two wild and untamable creatures, Leviathan and Behemoth. Some believe they are literal animals, alive or extinct, some even believe they were dinosaurs. Others say they are only mythological or symbolic monsters. The truth will surprise everyone. Author Brian Godawa, respected Christian and best-selling author of When Giants Were Upon the Earth, expounds in biblical and historical detail the true theological meaning of these chaos monsters in the Bible.

Israel: A Biblical Perspective begins by defining who Israel is, tracing its origins back to the patriarch Abraham and the formation of the Twelve Tribes. These tribes, descended from Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel), each inherited territory in the Promised Land under a divine covenant. The concept of “Spiritual Israel” is introduced as a broader spiritual lineage, suggesting that membership extends beyond physical descent to those who embrace the faith.

We are at war. The primary battlefield is our mind. The Seed War of Genesis 3 is the longest standing, consecutive war in history. The impact cannot be underestimated but tragically, most people are oblivious because they have fallen prey to the mind control tactics of the Nephilim. Who are the Nephilim? What is their agenda? And how has the Nephilim Agenda impacted our daily lives? If Jesus won the Seed War, why are we still amid a supernatural battle of epic proportions?

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.

The conclusion of this book will provide you a complete understanding of WHO WE ARE as God's people.

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