Though innocent of any wrongdoing, Potiphar's wife accused him of attempted rape, and Potiphar threw him into a prison house.

Il "Vangelo di Matteo" nella versione CEI del 2011.

Concludono l'antico Testamento i libri dei profeti. Il profeta è l'uomo di Dio: animato dal suo Spirito, ha una parola da rivolgere al re o a Israele da parte di JHWH. Egli esprime il giudizio di Dio sul loro agire. Se Israele e il re sono stati infedeli agli impegni dell'alleanza, la parola del profeta rivela il loro peccato e preannunzia il castigo; se invece il popolo ha già scontato la pena, gli annunzia la prossima liberazione.

We plead for God's deliverance from our pain and wonder why he keeps letting it go on. We are not alone. A cloud of witnesses surrounds us, and they help us understand. In these 35 creative retellings of Bible stories, Jon Bloom explores the hope and joy that Abraham, Moses, Naomi, John the Baptist, and others experienced in the painful process of discovering that God's promises really are more trustworthy than our perceptions.

James was a vegetarian, wore only linen clothing, bathed daily at dawn in cold water, and was a life-long Nazirite. In this profound and provocative work of scholarly detection, eminent biblical scholar Robert Eisenman introduces a startling theory about the identity of James - the brother of Jesus - who was almost entirely marginalized in the New Testament.

Four Portraits, One Jesus is a thorough yet accessible introduction to these documents and their subject, the life and person of Jesus.

Joseph is one of the few Bible characters to which God seemingly found no fault, but because of a tiny fault he did have, he ended up as a slave. Then, because of an extraordinarily good trait, he ended up in prison. Hear this thrilling story of Joseph's life based totally upon the Scripture, but from his point of view. The author has captured in fiction, what he believes might have been the thoughts, emotions and motives behind that enigmatic hero, Joseph, through the many trials and triumphs of his life.

You are now embarking on a journey, seeing through the eyes of Paul, the most famous of all Apostles, hopefully, to discover his thoughts, his conversations, and struggles throughout his roller coaster ride of life. Although strictly based on the New Testament's accounts found in Paul's epistles and the Book of Acts, this novel projects you further into the hypothetical possibilities of what might have happened behind the scenes.

One week later, the rain - which has never fallen on Earth before - begins.

Everybody likes Jesus. Don't they? We overlook that Jesus was: Judgmental - preaching hellfire far more than the apostle Paul. Uncompromising - telling people to hate their families. Chauvinistic - excluding women from leadership. Racist - insulting people from other ethnic groups. Anti-environmental - cursing a fig tree and affirming animal sacrifice. Angry - overturning tables and chasing moneychangers in the temple.

Misunderstood is the enlightening story of four biblical women who have historically been maligned by Bible scholars. Commentaries and study notes throughout the ages have condemned them for one reason or another. I hope you will take some time to think about giving grace to others instead of judging. Judging is the easiest and most natural thing we do when things don't look right to us. A holy God above us sees all. I would rather err on the side of grace than judgment.

In the 2014 New York Times best seller Jesus on Trial, David Limbaugh made a case for the Gospels as hard evidence of the existence of God, drawing on his own spiritual journey from skeptic to believer.

Scotland's beloved storyteller, George MacDonald, 19th-century Scottish novelist and poet, was reintroduced to 20th century Christians by C. S. Lewis, whose reading of MacDonald's Phantastes triggered his own spiritual awakening and conversion. Other renowned writers have voiced similar acknowledgements. G. K. Chesterton said of MacDonald, "If we test the matter of originality of attitude, George MacDonald was one of the three or four greatest men of the 19th century."

Entertaining and aggressive - which is what you'd expect from this author - this audiobook should appeal to anyone interested in justice.
