Bible Commentary

The Bible for Grown-Ups neither requires nor rejects belief. It sets out to help intelligent adults make sense of the Bible - a book that is too large to swallow whole yet too important in our history and culture to spit out. Why do the creation stories in Genesis contradict each other? Did the Exodus really happen? Was King David a historical figure? Why is Matthew's account of the birth of Jesus so different from Luke's? Why was St Paul so rude about St Peter?

It's the first and greatest command - the most important thing. But even if we want to love God that way, most of us don't. Are we doomed? Absolutely not. Drawing from psychology, Shakespeare, loads of Scripture, and her personal experience falling in love at 13 (and staying in love for 26 years), Gerhardt makes a story-rich case for a surefire way to fall in love and stay in love with God. Inspiring, warm, genuine, and practical, Look to Love is both convincing and comforting. This isn’t a book to shame you into reading your Bible. It’s an invitation and a help.

Quienes estudian la Biblia a menudo la encuentran difícil de aprehender y comprender cabalmente. Sin embargo, nosotros sabemos que la Biblia realmente tiene un solo Autor, Dios mismo; es la Palabra de Dios.

The African American Guide to the Bible makes the case for the relevance of the Bible from the perspective of people of color. It presents a comprehensive biblical view of topics of interest to African Americans and clarifies racial issues for White people.

Shocked by the Bible sets the record straight with well-researched, controversial, myth-breaking assertions about what the Bible really does—and doesn’t—say. And guess on which day the Bible says Jesus died. Believe it or not, the Good Book doesn't mention Friday, and even more surprisingly, while the Bible says Jesus rose from the grave, it does not say it occurred Sunday morning. News veteran Joe Kovacs goes on a mission to help both Christians and non-Christians alike find out what the Bible really contains, and what it doesn't.

The book, Fifty Bible Devotionals, is a book described by its title. The author has been active for over 40 years in teaching and preaching from God's word. It has become his close companion over those years, as he daily takes the time around 5:00 AM to read and study its pages. Each one is built upon a passage of scripture that can be applied to our daily lives. They can also be used as the subject or topic for a bible study as well as the jumping-off point for sermons.

The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted.

If you've ever wondered why the Bible is full of so many apparent contradictions, you're not alone. If you're afraid you might betray the God of the Bible if you question centuries-old traditions, you won't, as long as you let scripture speak for itself. To that end, Fish Tales (From the Belly of the Whale) plunges you headlong into an unrelenting search for biblical truth that will forever change how you think about the word of God.

An examination of the nature of the Bible and the claim for its reliability as a revelation from God.

Christian men and women across the country experience leadership in many different ways. Some lead a congregation, youth group or ministry, some in their homes, businesses, or non-professional organizations. The lives of many followers of Christ are marked by a combination of these roles. In Leadership by the Book, Brent Garrison offers examples from each book of the Old and New Testaments of how God's servants have led his people

The three letters of John found near the end of the New Testament have a tendency to be oversimplified or simply overlooked in the study of the Scriptures. However, though these letters may on the surface seem less applicable to our time because they address heresies and church management issues that seem unique to the early church, careful study reveals just how contemporary these concerns are. In this volume of James Montgomery Boice’s popular commentary series, pastors, Bible students, and laypersons will find analysis of John’s timeless messages of righteousness, truth, and love.

How do you eliminate a half trillion annual expense in the US alone? How do you prevent capital offenses in the first place? God has the solution: we just don't like key parts of it. We shoot ourselves in the foot in order to think of ourselves as dignified and compassionate. Yet the responsibility of public stoning (with the rest of the Biblical model) is more dignified and compassionate than any alternative. Death is the most severe court judgment in the full range of Biblical justice tools, and so it deserves primary investigation.

En El Dios viviente y el Dios de la resurrección, Witness Lee muestra que existe una distinción entre el Dios viviente y el Dios de la resurrección. Antes de pasar por la muerte y la resurrección, Dios era simplemente el Dios viviente; el elemento humano no estaba en Él. En ese momento el hombre estaba en la tierra, y Dios estaba en los cielos.

The fractured Church has seemingly little impact on a fractured culture. With hundreds of denominations and a world waiting to see truth, maybe it's time for a different approach.

In this audiobook, you'll find not only vision for us - together - being the Body of Christ, but also what we - together - can offer a broken world.
