While the Bible teaches several "thou shalt not" commands concerning sexuality, the Song of Songs shapes the affections of singles so that they want to love God's way. Song of Songs for Singles seeks to emulate this design, cultivating the listeners' affections for God's design for love.

“Torah”, the Hebrew word for instruction or law, is the collective name for the first five Books of the Tanakh, or Jewish Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. They first appeared widely in written form among English-speaking Christians with the Geneva Bibles of the 16th century. This 21st century modernization of that text is called the Revised Geneva Translation. It is intended to make the Received Text as actionable as possible to a modern audience.

For the majority of my fifty-seven years following Jesus, I have recorded my discoveries in a private spiritual journal. Over time, it grew into several notebooks that were eventually transferred to my computer. They contained various thoughts and insights that seemed important to my spiritual development. Some were pivotal, others less so, but I recorded them all, not knowing how God would use them in my life. All of the notes I recorded were meant for personal use, and as my way of showing God that I was paying attention.

The Soul's Longing: An Orthodox Christian Perspective on Biblical Interpretation has as its main purpose to show the deep connection between spiritual life and biblical interpretation which is both inspiring and accurate. It also makes clear the powerful effect of the interpreter's theology – especially the understanding of who Jesus Christ is – upon his or her method of biblical interpretation.

“La Preghiera” esplora i profondi insegnamenti spirituali del Servo di Dio Don Dolindo Ruotolo (1882-1970) sul potere trasformante della preghiera. Questa raccolta completa esplora il ruolo vitale della preghiera nella vita spirituale, attingendo dai vasti commenti biblici di Don Dolindo e dai suoi altri scritti. La profondità e l'importanza dei suoi scritti furono riconosciute dallo stesso San Padre Pio, che dichiarò: “Non si deve perdere neanche una parola uscita dalla penna di Don Dolindo.”

The book of Ecclesiastes is confusing to many believers, who see it as a debate between an untrustworthy nihilist and a genuinely wise man who trust in God instead of giving way to despair. However, Douglas Wilson takes issue with this interpretation, arguing that the author of Ecclesiastes is looking at the world with biblically informed vision. Because God is sovereign and will one day judge all men and restore the world, believers can work, rejoice, marry, eat, and worship God in hope.

Christianity is not a passive faith. It is a dynamic, proactive way of life where God's love motivates us to ministry, to help those in need, and to serve those around us. And no one better illustrates this lifestyle than our Savior. The gospel of Mark shares the life, love, and ministry of Christ, who provides the ultimate example for those longing to actively serve others and God.

The Principle is timeless truth; as deep and broad as life itself. It’s not just one of many theologies or a rehashing of knowledge we received long ago. It’s a refreshingly unique explanation of life and the universe in the context of God’s original plan. It explains the hidden mysteries of the Bible as well as bringing new depth and meaning to other sacred texts, history, science, politics and philosophy.

What does it mean for Jesus to be “deified” in early Christian literature? Litwa’s samples take us beyond the realm of abstract theology to dwell in the second- and third-century imagination of what it meant to be a god and shows that the Christian depiction of Christ was quite at home there.

Matthew's gospel focuses on the Kingship of Christ—that Jesus is Lord of Lords, the Messiah, the One promised by the prophets of old. But a king is not born in a manger, to a virgin peasant, and a king is definitely not executed on a Roman cross, is he? Actually, that's exactly the type of King God sent to the world.

"Tell one lie and you’ll have to tell another." But what happens when you're caught and given the chance to come clean? Do you "fess up" or continue to spin new tales to cover your old tracks? As humanity's understanding of the past continues to grow through scientific and historical investigation, the world's revealed religions are having to answer tough questions about the stories they've told concerning us and God.

With an uninterrupted printing history since it was first published in 1939, this classic interpretation of the book of Revelation has served as a solid resource and source of inspiration for generations. Using sound principles of interpretation, William Hendriksen unfolds the mysteries of the apocalypse gradually, always with the purpose of showing that "we are more than conquerors through Christ."

In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, the word for truth is aletheia, which also means reality. In the Book of John we read that Jesus referred to himself as the truth. He did not say that he knew the truth--but that he was the truth. When Jesus called himself the true bread, the true vine, and true food and drink, he was also calling himself the real bread, the real vine, and real food and drink.

For many people, skeptics and believers alike, the Old Testament is rife with controversial passages and events that make both belief and sharing our beliefs with others difficult. Often our solutions have tended toward the extremes—ignore problem passages and pretend they don't matter or obsess over them and treat them as though they are the only thing that matters. Now with clarity of purpose and fidelity to the message and spirit of Scripture as a whole, Tremper Longman confronts pressing questions of concern to modern audiences.

Luke opens The Book of Acts with this: “The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after he had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen.” (Acts 1:1-2) Luke’s Gospel documents all that Jesus began to do and teach in his physical body from his birth through his resurrection. His second account, the Book of Acts, tells what Jesus continued to do and teach through the ministry of the Holy Spirit in his new, mystical body, the Church.

Marriage in the Bible: What Do the Texts Say? is an honest engagement with the relevant passages in the two primary Testaments of the Christian Bible. Rather than making the Bible confirm a specific stance on marriage, the author invites her readers to be honest about what these biblical stories, laws, commands, and sayings meant in their original contexts.

The Epistle to the Hebrews: Christ Is Superior in Every Way-Foundation to Persevere in Biblical Faith is a Doxological Reformed exposition of the central themes of Hebrews and the hope of salvation in its fullest sense. This commentary is written for those seeking to build on a strong and lasting foundation to advance the work of the kingdom of God. It is for those who understand the good as the knowledge of God through the work of dominion in providence.

When Jesus spoke, people listened. When Jesus traveled, people followed. When Jesus arrived, hearts and lives were transformed. No other Gospel gives such extensive explanation to Jesus' ministry as the Gospel of John. The first three Gospels describe events, but the fourth Gospel describes the significance behind those events. Through miracles, parables, and relationships, Jesus shows how He is the fulfillment of God's promises of old.
