Wenn wir über die Geburt Christi nachdenken, richten wir unsere Aufmerksamkeit oft auf den detaillierten Bericht des Lukas-Evangeliums. Aber um den Hauptpunkt der Geschichte zu verstehen – nämlich, dass der ewige Sohn Gottes unsere menschliche Natur aus Fleisch und Blut angenommen hat –, müssen wir aus der gesamten Bibel lernen, warum Christus wirklich auf die Erde kam. Warum ist Christus gekommen?

Heart Speaks to Heart invites readers to accompany Henri J. M. Nouwen on a Holy Week retreat where he sought to deepen his understanding of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. What began as an intellectual pursuit soon became a profoundly personal encounter. Moved by the mystery of God's love revealed in the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, Nouwen's focus shifted from studying the Sacred Heart to speaking directly to the heart of Jesus—and listening for his response.

We live in a Genesis Three World. Even a quick look around reveals that things in this world are not as they should be. Violence, including war and mass shootings and self-inflicted harm such as suicide, occurs more than regularly. In the words of Paul, We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time (Rom. 8:22). That groaning began in the days of Genesis chapter three. Genesis chapter two assures the listener that all that God created "was very good". Due to the events recorded in Genesis chapter three, "was" is a key word.

The story of Jezebel is not merely a tale of a wicked queen, but a window into a titanic struggle between two irreconcilable worldviews that shaped the ancient Near East. To approach her history is to step into a volatile landscape of ninth century BCE politics, where the borders of faith and state were blurred by incense and blood. She was a woman born of the sea, a Phoenician princess of Tyre and Sidon, who was thrust into the rugged, mountainous heart of Israel to cement a military alliance. Yet, she was never content to be a silent partner in the Omride dynasty.

In this book of pastoral reflections, N. T. Wright explores how the Lord's Prayer sums up what Jesus was all about in his first-century setting. Wright locates the Lord's Prayer, clause by clause, within the historical life and work of Jesus and allows the prayer's devotional application to grow out of its historical context. The result is a fresh understanding of Christian spirituality and the life of prayer. This deeply devotional book will refresh and stimulate the heart and mind of any listener.

The myth of Moses the Lawgiver has grown over the past two thousand years, evolving through gospel-like accounts from Hellenistic Jewish writers and even the cinematic epic The Ten Commandments. But the canonical story of Moses—as found in the first five books of the Bible—was itself the product of earlier stories, assembled by an unnamed, undated compiler. Where did the stories about Moses come from, and what were they? In Moses and Minimalism, Dr. Robert M. Price applies critical scrutiny and historical inquiry to this superstar of the Old Testament.

GENESIS IS NOT A STORY. IT IS A RECORD. For centuries, the book of Genesis has been taught as myth, morality tale, or symbolic theology. The Garden of Eden became a children’s story. The Fall became a vague spiritual failure. And the authority structures embedded in the text were quietly ignored. Genesis Unsealed restores Genesis to its original function: a jurisdictional document.

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.

This radical interpretation of the Bible, by a modern mystic, teaches us how to manifest our desires. Neville says: "Instead of looking upon the Bible as the historical record of an ancient civilization, or the biography of the unusual life of Jesus, see it as the great psychological drama taking place in the consciousness of man."

Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother?

Freedom is a central theme in our world. It’s become a rallying cry for people, groups, even entire nations. But freedom without boundaries can be costly. Based on the book of Exodus, this study offers an eye-opening look at the pitfalls of deliverance without discipline, and shares the freedom found through a loving submission to God and His will for us.

In one of his most enlightening works, C. S. Lewis shares his ruminations on both the form and the meaning of selected psalms. In the introduction he explains, "I write for the unlearned about things in which I am unlearned myself." Consequently, he takes on a tone of thoughtful collegiality as he writes on one of the Bible's most elusive books.
