Prominent recent studies elevate the themes of "Christoformity" and "Cruciformity" in Paul, but few sufficiently account for how a believer is actually transformed into the image of Christ. Pneumaformity fills the gap in Pauline studies by surveying Paul's letters for teachings on the Spirit's agency in the life of God' people. This study aptly demonstrates that the Holy Spirit is the instrument through whom such radical living is possible.

God has provided salvation, but when does it begin? What is required of us? Can we lose it? These and other disputed questions have divided Christians for centuries. Matthew W. Bates has already shown that the gospel is about King Jesus and that faith includes allegiance. In Beyond the Salvation Wars, he unpacks additional truths from the Bible and the early church to describe how salvation happens.

Viele Christen beobachteten Saulus' Einzug in die Stadt. Lange vor seinem Eintreffen hatten die Gerüchte über seine Christenjagd die Bewohner erreicht. Auch Rahil, eine Ehefrau und zweifache Mutter, blickte voller Sorge Saulus und seinem bewaffneten Trupp nach. Sie zog sich leise in eine Gasse zurück, dann rannte sie nur noch.

Glaube mir. Jene, die am meisten lernen müssen, werden oft zu den besten Lehrern. Viele Jahre ließ ich mich vom Hass führen. Und auch, als ich zum richtigen Glauben fand, irrte ich lange Zeit ahnungslos umher. Doch der Herr hält immer die Hand nach uns ausgestreckt, damit wir wieder zu ihm finden. Beginne, an Gottes Liebe zu glauben, und du wirst anfangen, sie überall zu sehen.

The ancient Mediterranean teemed with gods. For centuries, a practical religious pluralism prevailed. How, then, did one particular god come to dominate the politics and piety of the late Roman Empire? In Ancient Christianities, Paula Fredriksen traces the evolution of early Christianity—or rather, of early Christianities—through five centuries of Empire, mapping its pathways from the hills of Judea to the halls of Rome and Constantinople.

Апокалипсис всегда — это возможность прочитать текст Нового завета с точки зрения психологии, нейропсихологии, религиоведения, антропологии, политологии и не потерять при этом традиции. Сегодня есть две крайности: одна — это полностью сакрализировать текст, окружить его туманом непонятности, мистичности и догматизма; другая, наоборот, — полностью разоблачить текст, выплеснув с водой ребенка, обесценить, показать, что все, что написано — это не более чем чьи‑то досужие выдумки.

During His life and ministry, Christ assured the apostles that He would one day return for His people. But how should this future event affect our lives today? In Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, he reveals that the promise of Christ’s return is more than a doctrine of our faith. It is a remarkable truth that can shape how we live, how we connect, and how we view ministry. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe’s best-selling “BE” commentary series, Be Ready has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh.

Much has been written about the life, ministry, and theology of the apostle Paul. But what about Paul specifically as a preacher? How did he understand his commission from the risen Lord Jesus to preach the gospel, and how did he put it into practice? Further, what lessons can contemporary preachers learn from Paul about the theology and practice of preaching to help them be more faithful messengers of God's Word?

The earliest Christians believed Jesus was an ancient celestial being who put on a bodysuit of flesh, died at the hands of dark forces, and then rose from the dead and ascended back into the heavens. But the writing we have today from that first generation of Christians never says where they thought he landed, where he lived, or where he died. The idea that Jesus toured Galilee and visited Jerusalem arose only a lifetime later, in unsourced legends written in a foreign land and language. Many sources repeat those legends, but none corroborate them.

Can anyone in our high-tech world truly understand someone who lived two thousand years ago? Can we get through twenty centuries of tradition to the real person who started it all? Andreas Köstenberger shows that the Gospels, the four earliest records about Jesus, do just that. These writings, named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, alongside key facts about the ancient world, bring Jesus's life, his words, and his legacy into focus. Introducing Jesus gets to the heart of what was—and is—important about Jesus.

The acclaimed Bible scholar and author of The Historical Jesus and God & Empire—“the greatest New Testament scholar of our generation” (John Shelby Spong) —grapples with Scripture’s two conflicting visions of Jesus and God, one of a loving God, and one of a vengeful God, and explains how Christians can better understand these passages in a way that enriches their faith.

The Incarnate Christ and His Critics engages objections to the divine identity of Jesus from Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, progressive Christians, Muslims, Unitarians, and others. Bowman and Komoszewski show how biblical scholarship cannot reasonably ignore the enduring, wide-ranging, and positive case for the deity of Christ.

The centuries after the Protestant Reformation brought about a radical reinterpretation of the epistles of St. Paul, disconnected from any historical reality. But Paul operated, during his entire life, as a faithful Pharisee within the Roman Jewish world. In Saint Paul the Pharisee: Jewish Apostle to All Nations, Fr. Stephen De Young surveys Paul’s life and writings, interpreting them within the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church.

You may have heard the saying that the Gospel of John is shallow enough for a child to wade in, yet deep enough for an elephant to swim—meaning that any literate Christian can adequately understand it, but there is depth of meaning below the surface that is well worth the effort to explore. In the Beginning Was the Word invites you to go deeper.

The letters of the Apostle Paul are central witnesses to the Christian faith and to the earliest history of Christianity. And yet, when students, preachers, and others turn to Paul, they find many things "hard to understand" (2 Peter 3:16) in these ancient writings. James Prothro's new book aims to help listeners see the Apostle's faith and hope at work as he evangelized the nations. Steeped in up-to-date scholarship and a passion for the gospel Paul preached, Prothro draws listeners into Paul's life and letters in order to help them hear the Apostle's voice.

Der Wind schoss brausend in das Haus. und umkreiste sie wie ein lebendiges Wesen. Es trug strahlendes Feuer in sich. Doch anstatt, dass es sie verbrannte,. wurde es ganz ruhig und schwebte. wie eine Flammenzunge über ihren Köpfen. Eine Wärme floss in sie hinein, durchdrang Körper und Seele. Alle Schatten der Trauer, Sorge und Angst. wurden von gleißendem Licht verdrängt. Sie waren vollständig vom Heiligen Geist erfüllt.

“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 ministry of the Holy Spirit is not a luxury; it is an absolute necessity," writes celebrated author and respected pastor Warren Wiersbe. In his first of two books covering Acts, Be Dynamic focuses on Peter's ministry, mostly in Israel and centered in Jerusalem. Through explaining Luke's record of the Gospel's advancement and church expansion, Wiersbe opens the door to understanding the work of the church today.

The Mentoring Project’s flagship mentoring resource is its field guides. These long-form pieces provide practical guidance on various aspects of life as a Christian, like finances, purity, technology, work, and more.

Hör mich an, wenn ich dir sage,. dass sich in Jerusalem eine große Finsternis zusammenbraut. Eine Dunkelheit, die dich und alles,. was du je gesagt hast, verschlingen will.
