What are angels? For many people, the word prompts images of glowing, winged, female-type creatures who enlighten, nurture, and guide people here on earth. Some believe them to be spirit guides or benefactors, while others see them as mere protectors. Many people believe that they can be summoned or beckoned at the will of humans, while others do not believe in their existence at all. But, what does the Bible say that they are? Envision around you, day and night, a valiant, thriving battle between good and evil, raging within a shrouded jurisdiction.

The Book of Leviticus is often regarded as the most challenging terrain within the Biblical canon; it is a dense thicket of ritual protocols, dietary restrictions, and complex sacrificial systems that can feel profoundly alien to the modern listener. Yet, to bypass this book is to miss the very heartbeat of the Pentateuch and the foundational blueprint for a life lived in the presence of the Divine.

For thousands of years, the Psalms have been a source of comfort, faith, and inspiration. They are more than poetry—they are a guide to navigating life's challenges with wisdom, strength, and trust in Hashem. Whether in times of joy or hardship, the Psalms speak to the deepest parts of the human soul, offering words of hope, gratitude, and resilience. This book goes beyond simply presenting the Psalms—it uncovers their practical lessons for everyday Jewish life.

In Theopolitan Mission, Peter J. Leithart explores the meaning of human "making" and the model of two biblical makers, Noah and Jesus, to identify the church's mission as the calling of man: to build God's temple in the world, then to remodel the world after the pattern of the sanctuary. Jesus is the Carpenter of Nazareth, the new and greater Noah, who builds a living ark from the crooked timber of humanity. Through us, the remade humanity, Jesus fulfills His second task, remaking the creation.

Quoted by the apostle Jude, treasured by early Church fathers, deliberately excluded from modern Bibles—the Books of Enoch reveal the shocking truth about fallen angels, Nephilim giants, and the corruption that forced God to send the Great Flood.

What is God’s revealed desire regarding the use and preservation of his name? Can we accurately recover the exact pronunciation of the tetragrammaton in the way it sounded in the days of Moses? In this book Andrew Case traces the maze of history around how the divine name was used and silenced, and how different languages and versions of the Scripture have represented YHWH in translation. He evaluates the taboo on saying God’s name, and discusses why the New Testament authors did not write it.

If you could spend a few minutes with the giants of faith in the Old Testament in person, what lessons would they share with you? In Learning From the Giants John C. Maxwell draws on fifty years of studying the Bible to share the stories of Elijah, Elisha, Job, Jacob, Deborah, Isaiah, Jonah...

The Revised Geneva Translation (based on Shakespeare's favorite Bible translation) is a 21st Century update of the very first widely-distributed version of the Holy Bible in English, The Geneva Bible. It is specifically designed to be SPOKEN and HEARD, repeatedly, and is built on the premise that a crucial key to revival in the present can be found in one simple practice from the past—speaking God’s Word back to each other in community.

Bitte! Verlange nicht von mir, dich zu verlassen! Ich will mich nicht von dir trennen! Wo du hingehst, da will auch ich hingehen. Wo du bleibst, da will auch ich bleiben. Dein Volk ist mein Volk. Und dein Gott ist mein Gott.

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?

Beyond the familiar lions' den and fiery furnace, much of the book of Daniel seems baffling to modern readers. The first half recounts stories full of ancient Near Eastern protocol and imperial court drama; the second half features apocalyptic visions of monstrous beasts and cosmic conflict. Many Christians misunderstand or simply avoid the book. But failing to read Daniel well means missing a critical part of God's message to us.

The Septuagint, the name given to the translation of the Hebrew scriptures between the third century BC and the second century AD, played a central role in the Bible's history. Many of the Hebrew scriptures were still evolving when they were translated into Greek, and these Greek translations, along with several new Greek writings, became Holy Scripture in the early Church. Yet gradually the Septuagint lost its place at the heart of Western Christianity.

Was God being ironic in commanding Eve not to eat fruit from the tree of wisdom? Carolyn J. Sharp suggests that many stories in the Hebrew Scriptures may be ironically intended. Deftly interweaving literary theory and exegesis, Sharp illumines the power of the unspoken in a wide variety of texts from the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Writings. She argues that reading with irony in mind creates a charged and open rhetorical space in the texts.
