Do we have anything in common with the bad guys of the Bible? The sins of wrath, idolatry, and abuse of power are closer to us than we think. How do we guard against them? We learn not only by following moral exemplars; we also need to look at the warnings of lives gone wrong. In this fictionalized narrative, JR. Forasteros reintroduces us to some of the most villainous characters of Scripture. He shows us what we can learn from their negative examples, with figures such as Cain, Jezebel, and even Satan serving as cautionary tales of sin and temptation.

The Magi of nativity scenes are romanticized as well-dressed wisemen bringing gifts to Jesus. Traditional Chrstians tell of a miraculous star that guided exotic kings from Persia, India, and Africa. Academics dismiss both accounts as no more than a pious legend. Who is right? In The Mystery of the Magi, Dwight Longenecker shows that all sides are wrong and the Magi were diplomats from Petra, the capital of the Nabatean kingdom of Arabia.

The apostle Paul was kind of a jerk. He was arrogant and stubborn. He called his opponents derogatory, racist names. He legitimized slavery and silenced women. He was a moralistic, homophobic killjoy who imposed his narrow religious views on others. Or was he?

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.
