Paul was a Hebrew of the Hebrews, steeped in the learning of his people. But he was also a Roman citizen who widely traveled the Mediterranean basin, and was very knowledgeable of the dominant Greek and Roman culture of his day. These two mighty rivers of influence converge in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. With razor-sharp attention to the text, Kenneth Bailey examines the cultural milieu and rhetorical strategies that shaped this pivotal epistle. Familiar passages take on a new hue as they are stripped of Western interpretations and rendered back into their ancient setting.

We live in a world of options, where we might do this or that if we feel like it. But for followers of Jesus, certain things are not optional, but necessary. Bishop Claude Alexander unpacks the Gospels' statements of what Jesus said he must do. He must be about his Father's business. He must go through Samaria. He must go to Jerusalem. Life in God is less about what you could do, and more about what you must do. Contrary to the life of the optional, accidental, and haphazard, the believer is called to live with a sense of divine necessity. No maybes about it.

In The Teaching of Jesus Concerning the Kingdom of God and the Church, Geerhardus Vos (1862-1949), Professor of Biblical Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, describes the Messianic work of Jesus as the realization of Old Testament revelation. Vos says the kingdom of God was inaugurated by the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, but that it awaits consummation at the end of the world. Vos concludes that religion alone can act as the supreme unifying factor in the life of man, leading it to its final goal in the service of God.

A deep, inspiring, and often challenging study of the Lord Jesus Christ's miracles and parables. In this sixth volume, Charles H. Spurgeon expounds on the deliverance of the demon-possessed man from the region of the Gerasenes, the forgiveness and healing of the paralytic man let down through the roof by his friends, and the woman with an issue of blood healed by touching the hem of Jesus' garment.

Revelation: Disarming the Most Dangerous Book in the World presents overwhelming evidence, both from history and scripture, that the events of Revelation have all been fulfilled and have no direct relevance to anyone living today. Part one details the troubled history of John's Revelation and the ways in which lives have been destroyed by the misapplication of this dangerous book. Part two is a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the Book of Revelation, explaining its mysterious symbols in the light of Old Testament prophecy.

The Bible as we know it today is best understood as a process, one that begins in the tenth century BCE. In this revelatory account, a world-renowned scholar of Hebrew scripture joins a foremost authority on the New Testament to write a new biography of the Book of Books, reconstructing Jewish and Christian scriptural histories, as well as the underappreciated contest between them, from which the Bible arose. The Making of the Bible is the most comprehensive history yet told of the world's best-known literature, revealing its buried lessons and secrets.

A thorough introduction to the four biblical Gospels and their subject—the life and person of Jesus. Like different artists who render the same subject using unique styles and points of view, the Gospels paint four distinctive portraits of the same Jesus of Nazareth. To Christians worldwide...

This booklet is packed with the clearest account of the 1st Thessalonians 4 rapture I have written to date, and I have written many books on the subject. Plus, I have included some simple, yet effective, tables showing why “those who are asleep” are none other than the “dead in Christ”. Paul states the timing of the “rapture sequence” in two different ways in order to comfort the bereaved that their dead will rise first. In addition, this study investigates why Paul selected such an unusual Greek word for “rapture”, and what that word actually means.

First published in 1970, this book helped spur the modern rise of postmillennialism. Revelation's details are often perplexing, even baffling, and yet its main meaning is clear: It is a book about victory. It tells us that our faith can only result in victory. "This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith" (1 John 5:4). This is why knowing Revelation is so important. It assures us of our victory and celebrates it. Genesis 3 tells us of the fall of man into sin and death. Revelation gives us man's victory in Christ over sin and death.

Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And with the power of the Holy Spirit, his Word will be expounded and we’ll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once. I work to speak straight to your hearts and consciences, and if there is anyone with faith to receive, God will bless them with fresh revelation.

As indicated by the title, this book presents a very critical look at the doctrine of Hell, which is rarely criticized within Christendom today. In the scriptures, there is no mention of "eternal torment" in the Old Testament, and in the Greek scriptures (the NT), there are three words translated to "hell": Gehenna, Hades, and Tartarus, none of which have anything to do with eternal torment. My objective is to guide you into the knowledge that the doctrine of hell is unbiblical and extremely harmful to those who hold to it.

In Eyewitness: Tears of the Saints, John 9 comes alive with the story of the blind man, blind from birth, who is given new eyes by the Christ. But the miracle and blind man has a history. He came from Bethany, a little village less than two miles from Jerusalem. His village is the home to many other notable figures from the Scripture. The blind man's testimony will change the lives of many people, even those living 20 centuries later. It is a bible story of a spiritual journey that will inspire the faith of Christians and non-Christians alike.

Evangelium etter Lukas. "Lukasevangeliet" er ett av de to evangeliene som forteller om Jesu barndom, "Matteusevangeliet" er det andre. "Lukasevangeliet" ender med Jesu lidelse, død og oppstandelse slik som Matteus- og "Markusevangeliet" også slutter.

Luke is the story of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. It tells of his origin, life, teachings, ministry, and miracles. It tells of his death, burial, resurrection, and ascension to heaven. Consequently, Luke may be the most informative book in the Bible. Before writing his book, Luke examined written materials and talked to eyewitnesses. Eyewitness Bible Series: Luke is meant to imitate some of the stories Luke might have heard, as well as explore their meaning and importance. This series is true to the Bible, but fills in storylines based on history, geography, and imagination.

In this book, I discuss the life and times of Jesus based on the Bible and the works of religious scholars, researchers, authors, and spiritual teachers. The focus of this book is to show how Jesus, through his teachings, caused the members of the Sanhedrin great concern as his followers began to increase. He threatened their power over the Jews by questioning their lack of understanding of the scriptures. Jesus called them to repentance for their pompous, prideful, and phony pious. For the Sanhedrin, it was Man Against Messiah.

PERFECTION NOT REQUIRED Many of us believe that we aren’t good enough to meet other people’s expectations. Maybe you can’t wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the carefully curated façade you present in public, it’s there. Being missed and marginalized by others...

Dieses Hörbuch richtet den Fokus in besonderer Weise auf die Rückkehr unseres Herrn Jesus Christus. Es behandelt die biblische Grundlage und Lehre der Naherwartung und zeigt auf, welche Konsequenzen diese Erwartungshaltung auf das Leben des einzelnen Christen und die Gemeinde haben sollte. Lassen Sie sich wieder ganz neu für die Wiederkunft unseres Herrn Jesus sensibilisieren.

The present work contemplates the encounters of Jesus with the principal feminine figures of the New Testament in accord with the method of prayer proposed by St. Ignatius of Loyola in his Spiritual Exercises and offers material for silent meditation. In this interior journey, the listener is accompanied in a particular way by the philosopher and Discalced Carmelite, Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein), and her insights, experiences, and reflections on the mystery of woman.

Why are scholars so prone to fabricate a new Jesus? Why is the public so eager to accept such claims without question? What methods and assumptions predispose scholars to distort the record? Is there a more sober approach to finding the real Jesus? Commenting on such recent releases as Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus, James Tabor's The Jesus Dynasty, Michael Baigent's The Jesus Papers and the Gospel of Judas, Craig Evans offers a sane approach to examining the sources for understanding the historical Jesus.
