Exploring chapters 1-4, this first volume on the Gospel of John is an insightful study and devotional guide for serious Bible students as well as interested laypersons. James Montgomery Boice explores the coming of Jesus Christ and discusses the initial reaction some people had toward him.

This second volume on the Gospel of John shows how Jesus dealt with the hostility that began to arise among the religious leaders in regard to various practices of faith and how he didn’t allow their hostility to deter him from his path. In so doing, Christ provided the ultimate example for living in the Father’s name.

There is a resounding call in Hebrews that we cannot forget without going astray: "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach" (13:13). This is a summons to serve Christ the Redeemer-King fully and faithfully, without compromise. In our time, it calls for a break, not only with the prevailing culture of humanistic statism and its messianic claims and pretensions, but also a wayward church that has made itself the handmaiden to Christ's enemies.

In this volume, Mark described Jesus' ministry around the Sea of Galilee, starting at Capernaum, traveling across the sea to Gergesa, and back to Capernaum. Jesus and his disciples were caught in a violent storm as they sailed across the sea. Once they reached the shore, they met a man who had been driven from society and lived among the tombs. The evil spirits cast out of the poor tomb-dwelling man spooked a huge herd of pigs that ran into the sea and drowned. The pig owners and other neighbors were angry, and they urged Jesus to leave their area.

Many First Nations tribes communicate with the cultural and linguistic thought patterns found in their original tongues. The First Nations Version (FNV) recounts the Creator's Story—the Christian Scriptures—following the tradition of Native storytellers' oral cultures. This way of speaking, with its simple yet profound beauty and rich cultural idioms, still resonates in the hearts of First Nations people. Whether you are Native or not, you will experience the Scriptures in a fresh and new way.

The study of Paul's Thessalonian letters is enjoying fresh interest today. These texts are considered by many to be amongst the earliest extant Christian documents. They are included in conversations about early Jewish and Christian apocalypticism. New insights are coming from examination of the religious, socio-cultural, and political contexts of Roman Thessalonica. And, looking back, these letters have played an important role in the development of Christian eschatology.

Regarding gender relations, the evangelical world is divided between complementarians and egalitarians. While both perspectives have much to contribute, the discussion has reached a stalemate. Michelle Lee-Barnewall critiques both sides of the debate, challenging the standard premises and arguments and offering new insight into a perennially divisive issue in the church. She brings fresh biblical exegesis to bear on our cultural situation, presenting an alternative way to move the discussion forward based on a corporate perspective and on kingdom values.

E, assim como trouxemos a imagem do que é terreno, devemos trazer também a imagem do celestial. (1 Coríntios 15:49)

Mas os que são havidos por dignos de alcançar a era vindoura e a ressurreição dentre os mortos não casam, nem se dão em casamento. Pois não podem mais morrer, porque são iguais aos anjos e são filhos de Deus, sendo filhos da ressurreição. (Lucas 20:35-36)

Pois a qual dos anjos disse jamais: Tu és meu Filho, eu hoje te gerei? E outra vez: Eu lhe serei Pai, e ele me será Filho? E, novamente, ao introduzir o Primogênito no mundo, diz: E todos os anjos de Deus o adorem. Ainda, quanto aos anjos, diz: Aquele que a seus anjos faz ventos, e a seus ministros, labareda de fogo. (Hebreus 1:5-7)

Bendito o Deus e Pai de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que nos tem abençoado com toda sorte de bênção espiritual nas regiões celestiais em Cristo, assim como nos escolheu, nele, antes da fundação do mundo, para sermos santos e irrepreensíveis perante ele; e em amor nos predestinou para ele, para a adoção de filhos, por meio de Jesus Cristo, segundo o beneplácito de sua vontade, para louvor da glória de sua graça, que ele nos concedeu gratuitamente no Amado.

Este é o dever de que te encarrego, ó filho Timóteo, segundo as profecias de que antecipadamente foste objeto: combate, firmado nelas, o bom combate, mantendo fé e boa consciência, porquanto alguns, tendo rejeitado a boa consciência, vieram a naufragar na fé. E dentre esses se contam Himeneu e Alexandre, os quais entreguei a Satanás, para serem castigados, a fim de não mais blasfemarem. (1 Timóteo 1:18- 20)

The New Testament starts with the three Gospel books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. These three are known as the Synoptic Gospels. Gospel means “Good News,” and Synoptic refers to the fact that all three give an account of the same general events from the same point of view. The fourth book, John, is distinctly different from the three Synoptic Gospels and includes much information not in the other three Gospels. The four Gospels differ in what stories they include and how the stories are told. None of the four Gospels are meant to be a complete, detailed life of Jesus.

Por isso, também me esforço por ter sempre consciência pura diante de Deus e dos homens. (Atos 24:16)

Este é o dever de que te encarrego, ó filho Timóteo, segundo as profecias de que antecipadamente foste objeto: combate, firmado nelas, o bom combate, mantendo fé e boa consciência, porquanto alguns, tendo rejeitado a boa consciência, vieram a naufragar na fé. (1 Timóteo 1:18-19)

Não são todos eles espíritos ministradores, enviados para serviço a favor dos que hão de herdar a salvação? (Hebreus 1:14)

E, juntamente com ele, nos ressuscitou, e nos fez assentar nos lugares celestiais em Cristo Jesus; para mostrar, nos séculos vindouros, a suprema riqueza da sua graça, em bondade para conosco, em Cristo Jesus. (Efésios 2:6-7)

James was possibly the first New Testament book written, probably penned in the very late 40s AD. It is generally accepted that the book was written by James, the leader of the Jerusalem Church, also known as James the brother of Jesus. From the very first, some people objected to having James in the New Testament. Martin Luther pushed for its exclusion (as well as some other books) because he thought it crossed some Protestant doctrines.

Revelation was likely the last book of the New Testament to be written and was placed last in the New Testament. It was probably written in the 80s or 90s AD by the Apostle John while he was exiled on the Island of Patmos. The apocalyptic imagery in Revelation makes the book difficult to understand and open to a wide variety of interpretations. Some believe the book describes events of John’s time, others believe it describes portions of the history of the Roman empire, while others believe it describes events that still have yet to occur.

Mediu também a sua muralha, cento e quarenta e quatro côvados, medida de homem, isto é, de anjo. (Apocalipse 21:17)

De outra feita, estava Jesus expelindo um demônio que era mudo. E aconteceu que, ao sair o demônio, o mudo passou a falar; e as multidões se admiravam. Mas alguns dentre eles diziam: Ora, ele expele os demônios pelo poder de Belzebu, o maioral dos demônios. E outros, tentando-o, pediam dele um sinal do céu. E, sabendo ele o que se lhes passava pelo espírito, disse-lhes: Todo reino dividido contra si mesmo ficará deserto, e casa sobre casa cairá. Se também Satanás estiver dividido contra si mesmo, como subsistirá o seu reino?

There is treasure hidden in Paul’s thirteen letters, but the path to find it is not obvious. Here is a tip: in the Bible, Paul’s letters are not sequenced in chronological order. The Bible rarely gives us specific dates about events it addresses, which can be frustrating for modern audiences.

This entry in the fascinating behind-the-scenes Eyewitness Bible Series studies the people and stories that are bedrock to the Christian faith as presented in Hebrews, First and Second Peter, First, Second, and Third John, and Jude. Surprisingly little information is known about the letters in this series. The exact dates of all of them are unknown, and the author of Hebrews is disputed. Even the target audience of each of these letters is broadly described, if described at all.

In Ask Jesus, there are a whole lot of us who secretly wonder as to why God doesn’t say yes more often. Statistically, it seems that there are some people who seem to have their prayers answered a lot more often than others. While for others, Heaven seems to be awfully silent toward their hard-pressed requests. By logical deduction you cannot help but wonder, “Does prayer make any difference, does it change things? If so when, or how?" Pastor, teacher, and author James Doss lays out clear biblical principles that helps us to navigate the storms of life.

In Life-Study of James, Witness Lee emphasizes two key points related to the Epistle of James—first, that the believers must progress in practical Christian perfection, and second, that the believers must be careful not to cultivate such perfection without a clear vision concerning the law and grace of God in God's New Testament economy. In Life-Study of First Peter, he describes the Christian life under the government of God with its high demand.

In 2019, Peter Kreeft published Socrates' Children, a four-volume series on the 100 greatest philosophers of all time, spanning from ancient Greece to contemporary Germany. But he made a terrible mistake: He somehow left out women, and with this, he overlooked the greatest mind of them all. This book is a one-of-a-kind study on Mary of Nazareth, the mother of Jesus. If Jesus Christ is wisdom incarnate, and if Mary loved Him more than anyone else ever did, then it holds that Mary is the greatest philosopher, the greatest wisdom-lover.

In this powerful study of the work and attributes of God, Boice answers questions about predestination, showing what is important to the life of today’s Christian in God’s historical dealings with Jews, Gentiles, and all of creation. Includes verse-by-verse exposition, balanced explanations of difficult doctrines, and challenging applications.

Detta är en av de mest klassiska och poetiska beskrivningarna av Jesus liv och gärning. Det är en förvånansvärt avskalad bild som evangelisten Johannes ger av Jesus, som i texten rör sig genom olika sociala skikt i samhället, där han sprider välvilja, tro och missionerar sin roll som Messias, Guds son. Här får vi höra Jesus egna ord forma sig, som vore de nedtecknade som ett direkt vittnesmål. Det är lyriska, ofta paradoxalt vackra monologer som tecknar ett porträtt av en man som brinner för människans rätt till ett drägligt liv.

Jesus är idag en av världens mest kända historiska personer. Guds son, men också en social kämpe som spred en lära om kärlek, jämlikhet och tolerans bland Jerusalems fattiga och förtryckta. Lukasevangeliet är en av Bibelns viktigaste texter och tecknar Jesus livshistoria från födseln till hans gärning som missionerande läromästare och till hans brutala död i fångenskap. Det är en text som utmärker sig för sina detaljrika framställningar av dåtidens medicinska vetande, en aspekt som tillskrivs Lukas yrke som läkare.

Händelserna som tilldrar sig i Markusevangeliet tar sin början efter Jesus möte med Johannes döparen. Det blir ett omvälvande möte som för in Jesus på den väg som kommer att göra honom till en av världens mest mytomspunna och viktiga gestalter. För att sprida sin lära samlar Jesus ihop lärljungar ur olika skikt i samhället och ger sig ut på en profetisk resa. Men det blir snart tydligt att makten inte ser blitt på hans försök att sprida kristendomens lära. Jesus blir snart fängslad och torterad till döds. Men berättelsen tar inte slut där.
