New Bible Study

The "Gospel of Nicodemus," also known as the "Acts of Pilate" or the "Book of Nicodemus," is an apocryphal text that holds a significant place in Christian tradition and literature. This ancient work is not included in the canonical New Testament, but it has been an important part of Christian storytelling and theological discourse for centuries.

This honest book will help you discover a different Jesus from the flannelgraph Sunday school figure, the sweetly smiling Victorian Savior, and all the cultural clichés that have tamed Jesus and kept him in comfortable religious boxes.

The books of the Bible were written at different times by different authors over a period of approximately 1,500 years from around 1400 BC through AD 90. The Old Testament was written in Biblical Hebrew excluding the Books written during "the Chaldean captivity" such as Daniel and Ezra which were written in "Biblical Aramaic" during the "Chaldean captivity". Many of the Books of the Old Testament bear the names of the Prophets who authored them.

This recording is an excerpt of that Bible.

L'"Évangile selon Matthieu" est le premier des quatre évangiles canoniques que contient le Nouveau Testament. Il est aussi le tout premier livre du Nouveau Testament. Ce livre a été attribué pendant de longs siècles à l'apôtre Matthieu, le collecteur d'impôts devenu disciple de Jésus de Nazareth. L'"Évangile selon Matthieu" contient le sermon sur la montagne. La portion la mieux connue est probablement celle des Béatitudes, qui se trouve au début de la section. Il contient aussi la prière du Notre Père et les injonctions contre la loi du talion.

Rev. Richard D. Phillips digs into the early chapters of the Gospel of John to discover principles you can use for Christian outreach that were modeled by witnesses for Jesus and by Jesus Himself. Phillips unfolds biblical principles for evangelism by examining the ministry of John the Baptist and the calling of the first of Jesus’ disciples. Then, through a brief study of the Lord’s encounter with the Pharisee Nicodemus, he presents us with a theology of the gospel. Finally, he focuses in on Jesus' stirring encounter with the Samaritan woman to show exactly how Christ shared the good news.

Jesus provided his disciples teachings for how to follow Torah, God's word; he told them parables to help them discern questions of ethics and of human nature; he offered them beatitudes for comfort and encouragement. But sometimes Jesus spoke words that followers then and now have found difficult. In The Difficult Words of Jesus, Amy-Jill Levine shows how these difficult teachings would have sounded to the people who first heard them, how have they been understood over time, and how we might interpret them in the context of the Gospel of love and reconciliation.

From beginning to end, the very structure of the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes that Jesus is the son of God. At climactic points, Jesus is so identified - by Peter, by a Roman centurion, by Jesus himself, and by God the Father. With The Gospel of the Son of God, David Bauer provides a comprehensive introduction to this Gospel that has been so foundational to the Christian church. Arguing that the nature of Matthew itself should provide us with the framework for its study, he presents a holistic inductive approach with a literary, theological, and canonical focus.

L'ancien Père Abbé de Ligugé propose ici une approche dynamique du mystère de la Trinité. Il l'introduit par différents aspects touchant à la rencontre du Christ à la fois comme un phénomène lié à notre humanité, mais aussi comme expérience de la Parole de Dieu, de la liturgie, des sacrements et de la communion ecclésiale. Il montre qu'une telle rencontre se vit dans la force de l'Esprit divin : pour cela il revisite la vision de l'homme selon la Bible et la place qu'y tient l'Esprit saint.

Long before the followers of Jesus declared him to be the Son of God, Jesus taught his followers that they too were the children of God. This ancient creed, now all but forgotten, is recorded still within the folds of a letter of Paul the Apostle. This ancient creed said nothing about God or Christ or salvation. Its claims were about the whole human race: there is no race, there is no class, there is no gender. Followers of Jesus proclaimed: "You are all children of God. There is no Jew or Greek, no slave or free, no male and female, for you are all one."

What can we learn about leadership and influence from Paul? Most Christians know something of the Apostle Paul's life and ministry, but what about the incredible team of influencers he assembled and mobilized? Who were they, and how did Paul lead this team to accomplish God's purposes? Even more, what can we learn from their successes and failures, and how can we imitate their qualities?
