In this unique and thought-provoking work Gardiner proves that the Ark of the Covenant, the Shroud of Turin, and Mary are united in ways never before imagined. Travelling across the world, from Rome to India, Portugal to Egypt, Gardiner uncovers the trail of the Ark and finds that it does not lead to Ethiopia, as many believe, but instead in a direction that nobody could have imagined. The trail of the Ark takes Gardiner on a hunt into the very heart of an ancient secret society with clandestine meetings in far-off lands.

If Christians were to be presented with an opportunity to create a new government, what would we create? Would we try the Constitution again or would we try something new? Did those who came before us do everything perfectly, or are we suffering needlessly in areas where we have strayed from God's divine revelation? In other words, how can we fix the mistakes of our Founding Fathers? Did they make mistakes at all, and how would we know if they did? By what standard does does a people look to establish justice in the land?

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. In this teaching series, Pastor Skip Heitzig walks through some of the trees that mark key events in the story of God and His people—from original sin to the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

You do not have to search too intensely to find devotional articles, journal manuscripts, lectureship transcripts, YouTube videos, academic dissertations, and in-depth study books discussing the nature, work, origins, and existence of "The Devil." The enemy of God and man has been a source of discussion for ages. Frustratingly, many discussions place a tremendous amount of focus on extra-Biblical resources, delving deep into secular mythology, ancient poetry, and speculation rooted more in popular culture than in inspired Truth.

This book unveils the truth about our history. The truth of our history begins and ends through biblical scriptures. We start with creation, and build from that point to the formation of Man (mankind). We identify our natural state of being much different that we have been taught in our education system and the church. The conclusion of this book will provide you a complete understanding of WHO WE ARE as God's people.

Biblical History of the New Testament is a book of history, not theology. The purpose of this book is to not only provide a historical narrative of Jesus’ life and that of the early church, but also to do so in a way that reconciles the apparent discrepancies among the four gospel accounts while maintaining the chronological order in all four gospels.

Decolonizing Palestine challenges the weaponization of biblical texts to support the current settler-colonial state of Israel. Raheb argues that some of the most important theological concepts—Israel, the land, election, and chosen people—must be decolonized in a paradigm shift in Christian theological thinking about Palestine.

For Jacob Wright, the Bible is not only a testimony of survival, but also an unparalleled achievement in human history. Forged after Babylon's devastation of Jerusalem, it makes not victory but total humiliation the foundation of a new idea of belonging. Lamenting the destruction of their homeland, scribes who composed the Bible imagined a promise-filled past while reflecting deeply on abject failure.

Dwelling Place is a must listen for anyone who is trying to figure out where they fit in God's big plan. He longs for sons and daughters to come home to sit at His table and learn of His ways. Written from the heart of a Jewish believer who has lived through her identity crisis, this book brings understanding as it delivers a very real picture of Ephesian's "One New Man,"- the dwelling place of God in the Spirit among His Jewish and Gentile children.

When we picture the first Advent, we see Mary and Joseph huddled by a manger. We picture Gabriel, magi, and shepherds tending their flocks. A shining star against a midnight sky. But this harmonized version has lifted the Advent story out of its context--those who experienced the first Advent had to travel through great darkness to reach the hope that shining star announced. Trusted scholar and community organizer Kelley Nikondeha takes us back, to where the landscape of Palestine is once again the geographic, socioeconomic, and political backdrop for the Advent story.

Esau is one of the most Enigmatic characters in the Bible. His birth alone is strange to say the least. "He came out red, covered in hair from head to toe like a hairy cloak." What if I told you there is much more to this guy's story, but has been lost to us throughout the ages. That his story is scattered in pieces throughout other ancient "extra biblical" books. This is a story of what we would call today a Bigfoot. This story goes back to the garden of Eden, a serpent, supernatural garments, and a birthright.
