Religious Study Bible

In our post-Christian, pluralistic society, responding to the perception that Christians are prejudiced, anti-intellectual, and bigoted has become a greater challenge than ever before. The result is often intimidation, withdrawal, and even doubts among God's people about what we really believe. Best-selling author and teaching pastor at Living on the Edge, Chip Ingram, wants to change that.

This book presents the doctrine of the pre-tribulational rapture of the church. Many prophecies are explored with biblical passages and terms explained from the scripture itself.

Quoted in the book of Jude, and used to form our view of angels and demons, this book connects the dots of doctrine and prophecy in the scriptures.

This book, along with the Book of Jubilees, is considered sacred to the Christian church in Ethiopia, and is placed in their Bible alongside the Old Testament books.

"Le 2e livre des Maccabées" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament relatant la révolte des Maccabées sous un angle plus théologique et apologétique qu'historique. La période qu'il couvre est plus restreinte que celle du "1er livre des Maccabées" : il s'ouvre sur les derniers jours de Séleucos IV et se conclut sur la défaite quinze ans plus tard du général Nicanor par Judas Maccabée, héros de l'ouvrage.

Throughout history, the war between good and evil has influenced humanity. Originally created in the image of the good father, mankind fell to sin because of the influence of the bad father of lies, Satan. Now as humanity approaches the second coming of Jesus Christ and the end of this war between good and evil, you must now make a decision either to follow the good father to eternal life, or the way of the bad father that leads to death.

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.

"Le Lévitique" est le troisième des cinq livres de la Torah (Pentateuque). Il doit son nom au terme "lévite", prêtre hébreu issu de la tribu de Lévi. Il parle des devoirs sacerdotaux en Israël. Il met l'accent sur la sainteté de Dieu et le code selon lequel son peuple pouvait vivre pour devenir saint. Son but est d'enseigner les préceptes moraux et les rituels religieux de la loi de Moïse. Le livre comprend 27 chapitres, qui relatent l'exposé à Moïse de lois et de rites. Le livre a vraisemblablement pris forme au ve siècle av. J.-C., durant l'époque perse.

"Le livre de l'Exode" est le deuxième livre de la Bible et de l'Ancien Testament.

Son titre originel en hébreu est Shemot, littéralement "les Noms". Traditionnellement, la rédaction du livre est attribuée à Moïse.

A timely and compelling new look at three key women in the biblical narrative. Among the mostly male-dominated narratives in Scripture, the stories of women can be game-changing.

Il rapporte une série d'événements se déroulant sur plusieurs années : Esther, d'origine juive, devient la favorite du souverain, Assuérus. Or, sous son règne, le grand vizir - Haman - intrigue et obtient de pouvoir exterminer toute la population juive. Devant pareille menace, Mardochée fait appel à sa cousine Esther afin qu'elle obtienne du roi l'annulation du décret qui les condamne.

Cultural Christians in the Early Church, which aims to be both historical and practical, argues that cultural Christians were the rule, rather than the exception, in the early church.
