Bible Theology

Heaven has received a lot of attention in recent years as best-selling books and movies have told the stories of people who claim to have been there. But what does the Bible actually say about heaven? What difference does it make? What happens the moment after we die? What will our relationships be like in heaven? Chip Ingram sets aside the hype and myths and digs into scripture to discover what God actually wants us to know about the hereafter. Most importantly, Ingram shows why our understanding of heaven matters now, in this life.

Join Andy Stanley for Twisting the Truth, a six-session small-group bible study developed to help you and your group understand how truth can get twisted and distorted, and how that impacts your life. Throughout the study, Stanley exposes four destructive and all-too-prevalent lies about authority, pain, sex, and sin. They’re deceptions powerful enough to ruin our relationships, our lives, even our eternities - but only if we let them.

These true Christian testimonies and doctrines are each presented in short chapters. They are, in many cases, summations of biblical teaching without the unnecessary filler information. A wide range of subjects are covered, and you'll hear about some subjects that are not often addressed in churches.

In Jesus, the One and Only, Beth Moore introduces you to an intimate God in an up-close and personal portrait of the life of Jesus the Messiah. This is far more than just a work on the life of Christ. Jesus, the One and Only is a romance, and you are invited to become part of it. As He has done in the past, God will use Beth's words to woo you into falling in love with Jesus of Nazareth.

When many of us hear the word theology, we conjure up visions of stuffy old guys in dark clothing scratching a pen across paper (or maybe a quill across parchment!) and assume that it’s not for us. But at its most basic, theology is just words (logos) about God (theos). Conversations, if you will, about the most important part of our lives—our good, loving, and grace-filled God.

Se porventura conseguirmos atingir uma genuína compreensão dessa Epístola, teremos aberto uma amplíssima porta de acesso aos mais profundos tesouros da Escritura. O homem encontra sua justificação única e exclusivamente na misericórdia de Deus, em Cristo, ao ser ela oferecida no evangelho e recebida pela fé.

A soma de quase todo nosso conhecimento - que se deve julgar de fato como verdadeiro e sólido conhecimento - se compõe de duas partes: O conhecimento de Deus e o conhecimento de nós mesmos. Como, porém, essas duas formas de conhecimento se entrelaçam com muitos elos, não é fácil, entretanto, discernir qual delesvem primeiro e dá origem ao outro. Por outro lado, é notório que o homem jamais chega ao puro conhecimento de si mesmo, se antes não contemplar a face de Deus e, da visão de Deus, descer ao exame de si mesmo.

Much Bible history is misunderstood, misstated, and debated among endless denominations and churches. The fact we have so many branches of what began in the first century is testimony to the corruption and misguided activities in the name of Jesus. Much has been added to the celebration of the most important birth ever, though how we celebrate is often too secular.

The God of the Bible is not a concept to be studied but a divine person each of us can and should encounter personally. Into His Presence uses historically documented experiences of a number of important people with God over thousands of years as the lens through which to help you understand the character of God as a person. In this book, you see the God of the Bible as a divine person encountered by the men and women of the Bible.

Poignant meditations occasioned by a unique convergence of commemorative events. On Good Friday, April 14, 1995, Christians remembered the crucifixion of Jesus, Jews reenacted the Passover, and the world at large observed the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II and the Holocaust. That unusual juxtaposition formed the backdrop as Joel Marcus - a Jew by birth, a Christian by choice - took the pulpit at St. Mary's Cathedral in Glasgow, Scotland.

Uncertain about what God has in store for you? Are you worried you aren’t prepared for the return of Jesus? Do you fear for the salvation of your friends and family? While no one knows the hour of Christ’s return, the faithful millions await ascension while the clock still ticks for those uncommitted to his path.

Evidence for the Bible is the first volume in the Consider Christianity series, written by Elgin Hushbeck, Jr. It discusses the evidence for the inspiration and reliability of the Bible and deals with objections. It is clear and forceful, but also invites dialogue on this key issue of the Christian faith.

Evidence for Bible Wisdom reveals how you can know God’s point of view, and what it means to be human with the definitions of soul, human nature, consciousness, and mind.

The Bible and the Ballot demonstrates the proper use of scripture in contemporary political discussions. Christians regularly invoke the Bible to support their positions on many controversial political topics - gay marriage, poverty, war, religious liberty, immigration, the environment, etc. - and this book will help facilitate those conversations. Tremper Longman provides a hermeneutical approach to using the Bible in this manner, then proceeds topic by topic, citing important scriptures to be taken into consideration in each case and offering an evangelical interpretation.

A marca mais impressionante de Calvino, no seu comentário a 2 Coríntios, é a de pastor. Ele, com humildade e firmeza, se identifica com Paulo, tanto na agudeza dos espinhos, para maior experiência da graça que lhe bastava, quanto à alegria do triunfo a que Deus lhe conduzia para melhor exaltar a fragrância de Cristo.

What was Jesus doing prior to his conception in Mary’s womb? While we see the father and the Holy Spirit actively engaged in human affairs across the pages of the Old Testament, the other member of the Trinity is foreshadowed in messianic prophecies but otherwise absent from the earth. Or is he? Jesus Before Bethlehem explores dozens of Old Testament appearances by a figure often called “the angel of the lord”. He not only speaks for God; he speaks as God.

Ever feel lost in translation? With the NET New Testament, you don’t need to be.

The NET New Testament offers a completely new solution: pairing a readable, everyday English translation with the largest set of translators’ notes ever created for a Bible.

The book The Satanic Kerygma contains a godless, satanic doctrine, a theology of godlessness—the biblical mystery of godlessness. It constitutes a study of theistic delusional truths and the path of man's transformation to a state of total godlessness. If we take the Latin maxim: fides quaerens intellectum—faith seeking understanding—as a definition of theology, then a theology of godlessness means an understanding that rejects theistic faith altogether.

Revelation: Disarming the Most Dangerous Book in the World presents overwhelming evidence, both from history and scripture, that the events of Revelation have all been fulfilled and have no direct relevance to anyone living today. Part one details the troubled history of John's Revelation and the ways in which lives have been destroyed by the misapplication of this dangerous book. Part two is a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the Book of Revelation, explaining its mysterious symbols in the light of Old Testament prophecy.

In this ten-session Bible study, Faith Under Fire: Exploring Christianity’s Toughest Questions, Lee Strobel hosts interviews and debates between knowledgeable and passionate experts discussing what they believe and why they believe it. This dynamic study answers tough questions about the existence of God, Christianity and Islam, the reliability of the Bible, faith and science, and many others issues. Each session highlights leading Christian and non-Christian voices engaging in forceful but fair debate.
