What happened during the decades the Gospels never mention? Between the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem and his emergence at the Jordan River lies a vast silence. No record of his childhood. No explanation of how a carpenter's son became the most influential figure in human history. The Missing Years fills that silence—a year-by-year account of the formative life no one recorded. Here is the boy who lost his father at fourteen and became head of a large family. The young man who turned down a fortune and a marriage proposal to stay true to his mission.

As the work at the heart of Christianity, the Bible is the spiritual guide for one out of every three people in the world. It is also the world's most widely distributed book, having been translated into over 2,000 languages, as well as the world's best-selling book, year after year. But the Bible is a complex work with a complicated and obscure history.

While the Christian tradition has subordinated John the Baptist to Jesus of Nazareth, John himself would likely have disagreed with that ranking. In this eye-opening new book John the Baptist in History and Theology, Joel Marcus makes a powerful case that John saw himself, not Jesus, as the proclaimer and initiator of the kingdom of God and his own ministry as the center of God's saving action in history.

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?

If your life doesn't look the way you expected, that doesn't mean God can't use you. In this new book, read by the author, Shannon Bream examines the question: "If we know God has already won the battle, why do we still struggle?" The Christian life often doesn’t feel like the stained-glass...

Lost for nearly 1,700 years, newly restored and authenticated, the Gospel of Judas presents a very different view of the relationship between Jesus and Judas. Rather than paint Judas as a traitor, it portrays him as acting at Jesus' request.

February 1, 2003. A light flashed over a Texas sky and twisted metal rained across the countryside. As images of the wreckage from the Space Shuttle Columbia streamed across the nation's television screens, they became forever burned into our memories. But behind those images were stories that remained untold...until now.

After 2,000 years of flawed history, here at last is a biography of Mary Magdalene that draws her out of the shadows of history and restores her to her rightful place of importance within Christianity. Throughout history, she has been both revered and reviled, a woman who has taken on many forms - witch, whore, the incarnation of the eternal feminine, and the devoted companion (and perhaps even wife) of Jesus. In this brilliant new biography, Bruce Chilton, a renowned biblical scholar, offers the first complete and authoritative portrait of this fascinating woman. His descriptions of who Mary was and what she did challenge the male-dominated history of Christianity familiar to most listeners.

Women are essential to the biblical story - they lead communities, bear life, and testify to God's power and presence. Some of their names we know, others we've only heard, and others, tragically, go unnamed.

Jacob seems to be anything but a model disciple. He's a trickster, liar, and selfishly ambitious man who fathers children with four women and leads a dysfunctional family rife with jealousy and backstabbing. But Jacob is also Israel, the namesake of the Old Testament community of God, chosen and blessed. As such, this sinner-saint, who limps along with the Lord, burdened by weakness and beset by problems, is the mirror image of all of us who follow Jesus.

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.

Chester and Mary Travis were Christian & Missionary Alliance missionaries to French Indo-China (today known as Viet Nam) between 1925-1975. They experienced an abundant measure of Christ’s indwelling and overflowing life.

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.

Ein Mann ringt mit Gott – und mit sich selbst. In Ein Handel mit Gott erzählt Matthias Joos von einer persönlichen, spirituellen Reise, die nicht auf Wegen dogmatischer Gewissheit geht, sondern sich zwischen Zweifel, Stille und Gewahrsein entfaltet. Inspiriert vom biblischen Bild Jakobs, der mit Gott ringt und verletzt zurückbleibt, öffnet sich ein poetischer Raum für Fragen, Zweifel, Staunen und stille Gewissheit. Dieses Buch ist kein theologisches Traktat, sondern eine existenzielle Spurensuche.

Béni soit son Nom est une adaptation en prose d’un scénario inspiré écrit par Barbara Oleynick en 2000. L’ouvrage s’appuie sur les écrits spirituels de la mystique du XVIIᵉ siècle, la Vénérable Sœur Marie de Jésus d’Ágreda, et propose une méditation profonde sur la vie, la mission divine et l’humanité de la Vierge Marie. À travers un récit contemplatif et accessible, le lecteur est invité à découvrir Marie non seulement comme Reine du Ciel, mais aussi comme fille, épouse et mère — choisie par Dieu pour porter le salut au monde.

The geopolitical landscape of first-century Judea was a complex tapestry of religious tradition and imperial pragmatism. At the center of this world stood the office of the High Priest, a position that carried both divine weight and political volatility. To understand Caiaphas, one must first understand the precarious nature of the Herodian and Roman oversight that defined his era. Since the Roman annexation of Judea in 6 A.D., the appointment of the High Priest had shifted from a lifelong hereditary right to a political appointment managed by the Roman governor.

Tim Keller nimmt uns in diesem Hörbuch mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise zu den Ursprüngen des Weihnachtsfestes. Verständlich erklärt er, warum die Geschichte von der Geburt Jesu nichts von ihrer Kraft verloren hat – auch für Menschen, die kaum noch wissen, wer das "traute heilige Paar" und der "holde Knabe im lockigen Haar" sind. Keller geht zurück zu den biblischen Weihnachtsberichten und zeigt, welche Hoffnung, Verheißung und revolutionäre Botschaft in der Krippe von Bethlehem verborgen liegen.

In Holy Ghosted, Autumn Miles explores these honest, heart-wrenching cries through the lens of Job's story. Even though Job was the most righteous man on earth, he faced profound suffering and asked God the same questions you may be asking now. How Job's story gives permission to question without shame. What God's silence means―and doesn't mean―in seasons of suffering.

The history of the Herodian dynasty is a complex tapestry of ambition, architectural brilliance, and profound political volatility. At the center of one of its most turbulent transitions stands Herod Archelaus, the son of Herod the Great and Malthace, a Samaritan woman. While his father’s reign was defined by the massive expansion of the Second Temple and the construction of monumental fortresses like Masada, Archelaus inherited a kingdom on the brink of exhaustion and revolt.
