New Bible

"No matter what happens over the next few hours and days—everyone, remain calm. This is not the end, but only the end of the world as we know it...." Unfortunately, when some people read the phrase “end of the world”, they envision cataclysmic scenarios that involve apocalyptic doom and global destruction. They tend to see all chaos and crisis through this negative lens, and sadly, it destroys their hope for the future. This is not that kind of message!

Matthew’s Gospel from the widely acclaimed modern literary classic The New Testament in Scots, now available as an audio digital download for the first time. Tom Fleming's reading brings out the poetry, wit, and humanity of William Lorimer's translation in a way which speaks to everyone.

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.

Imagine how your life might change if you followed Jesus up that Galilean hillside, hearing His most famous Sermon for yourself as you sat in the tall grass. Imagine how the world might change if you followed Him down the mountain, reaching your arms out as He did to a harvest field desperate for His touch. With accessible, warm, and a down-to-earth style, you don’t have to imagine these things, for beloved author and Bible teacher Kelly Minter brings to life the teachings and healings of Jesus to life.

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.

This book welcomes listeners to appreciate the origins of Christianity within the Roman world in which early Christianity got its first foothold. It does that by immersing listeners in the life and culture of two thriving first-century towns—Pompeii and Herculaneum. Those towns (destroyed in the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE) act as showpieces of the world into which the early Christian movement was spreading.

British Narrator Simon Peterson reads The Epistle to the Colossians in this wonderful audiobook collection of The New Testament.

His emotive reading perfectly captures the beauty and power of God's Word and makes the King James English clear and easy to understand.

The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John tell of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ—but they are perhaps best understood as four separate versions of the same story, showing complex origins, intricate interweavings, and often inherent contradictions. Faithfully pointing listeners back to the original Greek, this translation from renowned scholar and acclaimed translator Sarah Ruden is the first to reconsider the Gospels as books to be read and understood on their own terms.

Understanding the End Times was never intended to be a book describing world conditions to predict the closeness of the appearing of Jesus for his church. Many books have come and gone, written with the purpose of comparing world events to scriptures about end times and Jesus' return. However, this audiobook was not; it was designed to provide a biblical understanding of God's plan for the ages by weaving together the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments.

Bridging the end of the Old Testament period and the beginning of the New Testament period, this book surveys the history and theological developments of four significant eras in Israel's post-exilic history: the Late Persian Era (465-331 BC), the Hellenistic Era (332-167 BC), the Hasmonean Era (167-63 BC), and the Roman Era (63-4 BC). In doing so, it does away with the notion that there were four hundred years of prophetic silence before Jesus.

Traditional translations - from those of the medieval Jewish commentator Rashi to early Christian commentators to the King James version—have downplayed anger at God and reinterpreted the Psalms in ways that would be doctrinally more palatable, but which flatten the richness and subtlety of the Hebrew verse. Greenberg's translation aims to restore the poetry and vibrancy of the Psalms as a prayerful act, replicating their emotional passion while both wrestling with the text as living liturgy and remaining as true as possible to the originals.

Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit, Jacob and the stairway to heaven, Joseph and his brothers, Samson and Delilah, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, the miracles and teachings of Jesus, St Paul's vision on the road to Damascus, St John's vision of the new Jerusalem: the Bible is full of dramatic stories that have made it the world's bestselling book, and yet few people ever get around to listening to it from cover to cover.

L'"Épître aux Galates" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Cette lettre est envoyée par l'apôtre Paul aux églises de Galatie. La date de rédaction est estimée entre 47 et 58 de notre ère, mais la plupart des historiens s'accordent sur une datation autour de 50/51 soit une vingtaine d'années après la crucifixion de Jésus. Il se qualifie comme "apôtre, non de la part des hommes ni par l'intermédiaire d'un homme, mais par Jésus-Christ et Dieu le Père qui l'a ressuscité des morts."

Ever since he became a Christian at the age of 40, it has been Poirot actor David Suchet's dream to make an audio recording of the Bible. In between filming the final episodes of Poirot, David Suchet spent over 200 hours in the recording studio to create the very first full-length audio version of the NIV Bible spoken by a single British actor. This recording is an excerpt of that Bible.

Five hundred years after Martin Luther and his Ninety-Five Theses ushered in the Reformation, best-selling author and controversial bishop and teacher John Shelby Spong delivers 12 forward-thinking theses to spark a new reformation to reinvigorate Christianity and ensure its future. Spong contends that there is mounting pressure among Christians for a radically new kind of Christianity - a faith deeply connected to the human experience instead of outdated dogma.

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 "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.
