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 90 AD. 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. Moses compiled the earlier parts of Genesis and directly authored the remaining portion.

Throughout history, Christians have debated Paul's influence in the church. Though revered, Paul has also been controversial. In this masterly analysis, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Garry Wills chronicles Paul's tremendous influence on the first explosion of Christian belief, the controversy surrounding Paul through the centuries, and the meaning of his words.

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.

Le récit des "Actes des Apôtres", cinquième livre du Nouveau Testament, est la seconde partie de l'œuvre dédiée "à Théophile" et attribuée à Luc par la tradition chrétienne comme par les chercheurs modernes, la première partie étant l'Évangile selon Luc. Le récit rapporte les débuts de l'église primitive, débute avec l'Ascension, suivie de la Pentecôte, et relate essentiellement la prédication de Paul de Tarse. Il se termine avec la première venue de Paul à Rome au début des années 60.

L'"Épître aux Philippiens" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Elle est envoyée probablement vers 61 après Jésus-Christ par l'apôtre Paul à l'Église de Philippes. Il l'écrivit pendant son premier emprisonnement à Rome. Cette épître invite entre autres les chrétiens à vivre leur foi dans la joie comme en témoigne le verset : "Réjouissez-vous toujours dans le Seigneur! Je le répète: réjouissez-vous!" (Ph 4:4).

La "1ère épître aux Thessaloniciens" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. L'épître est envoyée par l'apôtre Paul, depuis la ville de Corinthe, à l'Église de Thessalonique, au cours de sa première visite en Europe. Selon toute vraisemblance, elle a été écrite en 50-51. De ce fait, il s'agit du plus ancien écrit du Nouveau Testament. Son œuvre en Thessalonique est décrite dans Actes 17. Il voulait y retourner mais ne put le faire (1 Th 2:18). Il envoya donc Timothée réconforter les convertis et leur dire comment il allait.

Here is Thomas Jefferson's classic abridgment of the Bible, in which Jefferson sculpted the words and ideas of Christ into a resounding moral philosophy. On and off for 17 years (including his term in the White House), Jefferson cut and pasted the philosophy of Jesus Christ, as recorded in Scripture, into one compact statement. He omitted any references to the virgin birth, miraculous healings, demonic possession, or supernatural events of any kind. His aim was to distinguish the moral philosophy of Christ from the religion that was later created around Christ.

In this concise, engaging book, noted New Testament scholar Luke Timothy Johnson takes listeners on a journey back to the time of the early Roman Empire, when the New Testament was written in ordinary Greek (koine) by the first Christians. The author explains how the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, and Revelation evolved into the canon of sacred writings for the Christian religion, and how they reflect a reinterpretation of the symbolic world and societal forces of first-century Greco-Roman and Jewish life.

N. T. Wright explores Acts, illuminating the early Christians' zeal in spreading Jesus's message. The book of Acts brims with early Christians' zeal, global evangelism, and the real-life challenges faced by churches. It's a dynamic narrative of journeys, trials, and triumphs, offering inspiration for our spiritual journeys. Acts for Everyone, Part 2 follows Paul's ministry, concluding with his arrival in Rome in Acts 28.

La "1ère épître à Timothée" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Avec la deuxième épître à Timothée et l'épître à Tite, elle fait partie des trois "épîtres pastorales" ou "trito-pauliniennes", dues à des disciples tardifs de l'apôtre Paul. Paul avait laissé Timothée à Éphèse, dans l'intention d'y retourner plus tard. Mais il pensait qu'il risquait d'être retardé. La lettre est adressée au disciple Timothée, peut-être de Macédoine, pour lui donner des conseils et des encouragements sur l'accomplissement de son ministère.

L'"Épître aux Éphésiens" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Le texte est constitué d'une lettre attribuée à l'apôtre Paul et adressée à l'Église d'Éphèse (située dans l'actuelle Turquie).

L'"Épître aux Hébreux" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Elle est censée s'adresser à des "Hébreux" mais l'identité de ces destinataires offre matière à discussion, si tant est qu'il s'agisse d'une véritable lettre. L'Épître aux Hébreux constitue en même temps l'un des plus anciens traités de christologie et l'un des plus novateurs.

L'"Épître à Tite" est un livre du Nouveau Testament attribué à l'apôtre Paul. Elle fait partie des trois Épîtres pastorales. L'"Épître de Jude" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Elle est envoyée par "Jude serviteur de Jésus-Christ et frère de Jacques" (Jd 1,1), autrement dit Jude l'un des frères du Seigneur cités en Mc 6,3.

The Shepherd of Hermas, composed in the late 1st or mid-2nd century AD, is an intriguing early Christian work filled with vivid visions, parables, and teachings. It follows the journey of Hermas, a former slave, who receives divine revelations through a figure known as the Shepherd. The text explores themes of repentance, moral integrity, and the necessity of maintaining a pure and faithful Christian community.

Most historians agree that John Mark is the author of this account of the good news and it may have been one of the first Gospels written. What also distinguishes this book among the other Gospels is the emphasis of the suffering of Yeshua. This could have been due to the fact that during the time in history around 65 AD, Christians in Rome were experiencing great persecution. Some believe that Mark was attempting to emphasize Yeshua’s suffering in order to bring comfort and encouragement to the Church which was suffering as a whole.
