Warum fürchtest du dich, Abram? Ist es kein Trost, dass man nicht vollkommen sein muss, um vom Herrn erwählt zu werden?

Nachdem Jesus den ganzen Tag bis in die Nacht hinein geheilt hatte, wollte er sich in die Stille und Einsamkeit der Wüste zurückziehen, um zu seinem Vater zu beten. Doch die ersehnte Ruhe blieb ihm verwehrt. Eine Gestalt nach der anderen löste sich aus den Schatten der Felsen, als wäre sie unmittelbar aus der Dunkelheit geboren.

Jesus zählte die Stunden nicht. Auch sah er nicht zurück, um zu überblicken, wie weit er bereits gekommen war. Beide Hände auf der Brust betete er zu seinem Vater, während seine Füße wie von alleine durch den Wüstensand gingen. Die Sonne zog über ihm ihren Bogen, ließ seinen Schatten von einer Seite zur anderen wandern. Doch noch ein weiterer Schatten kam hinzu. Der dunkelste von allen.

Vom ersten Tag an wollte Jaika die Wolken erreichen. Sie hatte sie sich weiß vorgestellt. Unendlich weich und strahlend. Jetzt war Jaika in den Wolken. Doch es war ganz anders als in ihrer Vorstellung. Graue Massen belagerten sie zu allen Seiten, die brummten und zischten wie hungrige Bestien.

Many theologians, Bible scholars, and others have written commentaries on the Old Testament. And almost without exception, they have attempted to explain the intent and spiritual implications represented by the conflicting statements of the ancient writers without taking issue with the content itself. Unholy Dilemma: A Search for Logic in the Old Testament departs from the approach of presuming to divine what the ancient writers meant to say, and merely examines what they actually did say.

The books of Joshua, Judges and Ruth are part of the Old Testament of the Bible. They are considered historical books and tell stories of events occurring in historical time and place. Joshua is the sixth book of the Bible and tells the story of Israel’s conquest of Canaan. Judges is the seventh book of the Bible and tells the story of Israel’s history from the death of Joshua to the rise of the monarchy. Ruth is the eighth book of the Bible and tells the story of a Moabite woman who married an Israelite and became an ancestor of King David.

Atheists often level charges at the God of the Bible as being angry and hateful. They claim that God condones genocide, that he is a cruel and oppressive megalomaniac, but this doesn’t seem to match what Christians claim about him being a God of love. How can a God who provides and saves also wipe out entire nations?

He was a slave who became a cupbearer. He was a cupbearer who became a king’s emissary. He was an emissary who became a leader. And he was a leader who became a legend. All because he was a faithful servant of the Most High God. Consider his story — the portion you may already know … and...

There is no easy answer to the meaning of life--even when you believe in God. The book of Ecclesiastes seeks to answer the question: "What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun?" The book's writer is Qoheleth, who wants to understand the meaning of life as far as...

These two volumes on the Minor Prophets offer more of James Montgomery Boice's informative and practical commentary. Volume 1 surveys Hosea through Jonah, and volume 2 covers Micah through Malachi. Both volumes offer thorough interpretation of the text in a clearly written manner that will inform and help a wide range of listeners, from serious Bible students to interested laypersons. Based on messages Boice preached, these expositional commentaries explain the meaning of the text verse by verse and section by section.

We all know the story of creation in the Bible. In the beginning, God created. But what if creation isn’t where things started? Not in the Bible anyway. What if the first book of the Bible wasn’t about creation? Instead, it was about pain.

Born out of order, neither Judah nor Joseph expected to receive the firstborn birthright from Father Jacob, yet each was endowed with powerful blessings of leadership over his siblings. But which was supposed to be in charge—Judah or Joseph?

David was the “man after God’s own heart,” yet his life was characterized by hardship. During his lifetime, he was fired, became homeless, grieved the loss of three children, built a nation, lost almost everything after his affair with Bathsheba, and then saw a work that was dear to him given to another.

What does it mean to be human? This timeless question proves critical as we seek to understand our purpose, identity, and significance. Amidst the many voices clamoring to shape our understanding of humanity, the Bible reveals important truths related to our human identity and vocation that are critical to the flourishing of all of creation.
