Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence. Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.

Mark doesn't waste words in his Gospel. His Jesus, the Jesus, is a man on a mission, determined, racing. Mark doesn't waste words, but his words pack a punch and his brief descriptions beg for deep reflection. Like a passenger in a car driving quickly, we can easily miss the details of the landscape if we don't pay careful attention. Mark sets us on a race, but it's important to stop along the way. A Path Strewn with Sinners sets us on Jesus' race to the cross, but it also insists we take time to ponder, to notice what Mark notes, and what he doesn't.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Thus begins the famous words of Jesus known as the Beatitudes. There are eight such sayings, each beginning with the words, “Blessed are.” Each one of these beatitudes taught everyone in the first century (and still teaches everyone in the twenty-first century) how to be blessed. They might be mistaken for a shopping list for the soul, just a list of eight virtues to pick up before we leave the store. But they’re not. They’re inseparably interwoven.

La "2ème épître aux Corinthiens" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Elle est envoyée par l'apôtre Paul à l'Église de Corinthe. Après des salutations et une action de grâces, Paul partage ses épreuves et ses consolations. Puis il expose les motifs pour lesquels il a décidé de ne pas visiter la communauté de Corinthe. Il les appelle ensuite à pardonner à un coupable exclu de leur communauté. Paul partage ensuite son triomphe qui est de répandre la parole du Christ partout où il va. L'Église de Corinthe est ainsi le témoignage vivant de la réussite de son ministère.

L'"Épître aux Romains" est une lettre du Nouveau Testament envoyée par l'apôtre Paul à l'Église de Rome. L'épître aux Romains est certainement la plus importante des épîtres de Paul non seulement par sa taille (c'est la plus longue) mais surtout pour son contenu et son enseignement. Les idées développées dans cette épître forment le fondement de la doctrine des Églises chrétiennes au sujet de la justification par la foi. Cette épître se situe dans deux registres. D'une part, il s'agit d'une lettre adressée à une communauté rencontrant des difficultés.

La généalogie de Jésus, dans l'évangile selon Saint Luc, est une généalogie ascendante, de Jésus à Adam, père de l'humanité, et passant par Nathan, autre fils de David.

L'"Épître aux Colossiens" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Selon la tradition chrétienne, cette lettre fut envoyée par l'apôtre Paul à l'Église de Colosses. La ville de Colosses a été détruite par un tremblement de terre au début de l'an 60. C'est une lettre écrite aux Colossiens après la visite d'Épaphras, évangélisateur de l'Église de Colosses. Épaphras dit à Paul que les Colossiens tombaient dans une grave erreur : ils pensaient qu'ils étaient meilleurs que les autres parce qu'ils observaient soigneusement certaines ordonnances extérieures.
