A man who has consciously and deliberately walked the path of Christ, John Shelby Spong has lived his entire life inside the Christian Church.

The first five books of the Bible, also known as the Pentateuch, were written by Moses and are an important introduction to the rest of the Bible as they contain the history of the Jewish people from the creation of the world to their exile in the desert for 40 years. These books also contain the divine laws which form the basis of Judaism and give instructions on how to live a holy life as God's chosen people.

The great problem in the church's interpretation of Scripture has been its ecclesiastical orientation, as though God speaks only to the church, and commands only the church. The Lord God speaks in and through His Word to the whole man, to every man, and to every area of life and thought. To assume that the Triune Creator of all things is in His word and person only relevant to the church is to deny His Lordship or sovereignty. If we turn loose the whole Word of God onto the church and the world, we shall see with joy its power and glory. This is the purpose of my brief comments.

No matter your season of life as a woman, you long to be loved and appreciated. But perhaps most days you're left feeling unseen, unheard, or unknown. Though centuries apart from your life today, the women who knew Jesus faced similar fears and insecurities. Their names aren't etched onto the pages of Scripture, but they are etched into the heart of God. In this book, Paige Allen invites you to take a second look at the life-changing encounters of seven unnamed women who came face-to-face with Jesus in the Bible.

This volume in the Revolutions Series presents Jesus Christ as a figure akin to revolutionaries like Robespierre, Marx, and Che Guevara. In this new presentation of the Gospels, Terry Eagleton makes a powerful and provocative argument for Jesus Christ as a social, political and moral radical, a friend of anti-imperialists, outcasts and marginals, a champion of the poor, the sick and immigrants, and as an opponent of the rich, religious hierarchs, and hypocrites everywhere

Many Christians are intimidated by the book of Revelation. They are convinced that it contains nothing but bad news. And they are further turned off by the great variety of bizarre interpretations of the book. In this book, Dr. Reagan explains that Revelation contains only good news for those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and savior. Further, he proves that the book can be understood by any Christian who is willing to accept its plain sense meaning.

Who was Jesus? Historical sources portray a person who was complex, multi-layered, and often contradictory to the tidy portrait that much of modern Christianity paints him as. Even the gospel accounts render him as both judge and healer, teacher and temple, servant and savior. A Doubter's Guide to Jesus is a persuasive and often challenging investigation into the historical figure found in the earliest sources. These sources, which include references both direct and indirect - from Roman, Jewish, and Christian accounts - offer us more than simple evidence that Jesus existed.

In the much-awaited follow-up to Cross-Examined: Putting Christianity on Trial, trial lawyer John W. Campbell demonstrates why Christians are fundamentally wrong about Jesus, the leader of the movement that developed into modern Christianity. Using the most up-to-date research and findings, Campbell shows, among other things, why Jesus was not the Jewish Messiah, why the true Jesus was replaced by Paul's Christ of faith, and why Jesus was not resurrected from the dead. Campbell explains who Jesus really was, what he believed, and why he would be so disappointed with modern Christianity.

The letters from Jesus to the Revelation churches must be the most misunderstood chapters in the Bible. Many people dismiss them as too hard, too strange, or too scary. “Did Jesus really say that?” Contrary to what you may have heard, these letters are good news from start to finish. They are love letters from Jesus to all of us, and they reveal the extreme goodness and favor of God. In Letters from Jesus, Paul Ellis unpacks the astonishing good news found in these ancient letters. In them he finds answers to tough questions.

Cultural conceptions of Jesus today present a man who is virtually unrecognizable. He is not known, above all, for whom he loves or how he loves. In contrast to this misconfiguration, the Jesus of the Gospels is far more beautiful, and loves more broadly and deeply, than many have imagined. The humble, suffering love of Jesus is uncanny, radiantly beautiful, and in the end transformative. There is nothing like it across the religious landscape or current ideological offerings. In Jesus the Stranger, Ken Collins invites the listener to see Jesus in a new way.
