To understand the history of Jesus of Nazareth, one must first navigate the thick forests of tradition, theology, and art that have grown around his name for two millennia. For some, he is the iconic figure of the stained-glass window, a serene and distant deity. For others, he is a radical social reformer, a peasant philosopher, or a failed revolutionary. However, to find the man himself, we must travel back to the dusty, high-stakes world of the first-century Near East.

The Plot: The Tree is the third book in The Plot series. Is the "law" based on the knowledge of good and evil? What is the meaning of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?

What is the relationship between the Tree and the cross? Why did God nail the law to the cross (Col. 2: 14)? What was the fate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? And what legacy has that tree left?

The Plot: Last Days is the fourth in The Plot series. In order to understand the Bible's ending, you must know its overall plot. The Plot: Last Days confronts some of the most confusing and controversial questions in Bible prophecy. Why did the early believers sell everything they owned? Did the apostles expect Jesus to return within their lifetime? What do Daniel's 70 Weeks, the Seven Feasts of Israel, and Pentecost have to do with the end times? Is the Church destined to endure the Great Tribulation-or will it escape through a Rapture?

You’re able to understand the Bible. Really. After first comprehending what the Mosaic Law teaches (including its criminal justice statutes), then we must determine which of its precepts apply to today. Without the New Testament's epistles, we Christians would hopelessly wrestle with the Law of Moses, not knowing which parts of it apply today and which do not. Hebrews says that with "the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.

There are times in every life when the heart opens and we suddenly experience a deep and intimate connection to all that is.

The history of the Roman Empire is often told through the clashing of swords, the expansion of borders, and the ego of emperors, yet some of its most profound transformations occurred in the quiet, intellectual spaces of a governor’s court. To understand the transition of the Mediterranean world from a tapestry of pagan cults to a landscape dominated by the Christian faith, one must look closely at the figure of Sergius Paulus.

The journey begins on the desolate island of Patmos, where the Apostle John finds himself in exile for his commitment to the Gospel. In the first chapter, the curtain is pulled back to reveal the glorified Christ. This is not the humble carpenter of Nazareth or the suffering servant of the cross; this is the High Priest of heaven, with eyes like blazing fire, a voice like rushing waters, and a face that shines with the brilliance of the sun. He stands among seven golden lampstands, which represent the seven churches of Asia Minor.

In The Christ-Myth Theory and Its Problems, Robert M. Price, one of America's leading authorities on the Bible, demonstrates that almost the entire "biography” of Jesus is a conscious reworking of earlier literature and shares the evidence that has led him and other scholars to conclude that Christ—a partial synonym for Jesus of Nazareth—is a mythical figure.

Today, affection for the Jewish people based on Romans 11 is thought to be an error rooted in the Post-war Consensus or Dispensationalism. But in this book Doug Wilson has assembled quotes from countless Reformed teachers, many untethered from the 20th century and its Left Behind series, each writing about what they believe the Bible really teaches about Romans 11. We must reject the mistakes made in 20th century theology. But we must not throw out our heritage as we do so.

What does Jesus say and do within the narrative worlds of the New Testament gospels that, through the ages, enabled innumerable gory horrors and immense systemic violence to be perpetrated with his presumed permission? That is the question driving this book.
