Rarely does a book come along that shakes the foundations of the church like Whole Bible Christianity by Bruce S. Bertram. Starting with the Garden and using almost 1,500 references from every book in the Bible, Bruce first shows that there is no church in the Bible. Then he identifies modern Pharisees and illustrates how they have led many churches to abandon the New Covenant, pursuing instead worldly ideas of self-seeking.

Ever wonder why there are so many different interpretations of the Bible? A book that apparently has all the answers but winds up being understood in 1000 different ways? Could it be that it was never meant to provide objective solutions to the world but to instead serve individual believers as a map for their respective walks? Have we misinterpreted the purpose and place of the New Testament today?

More and more, the world is becoming multi-ethnic and multi-religious. Wherever you live, you are coming in contact with people of other ethnic and religious backgrounds.

People from all over the empire came to Ephesus because it was the political, social and economic center for this region.

Shocked by the Bible sets the record straight with well-researched, controversial, myth-breaking assertions about what the Bible really does—and doesn’t—say. And guess on which day the Bible says Jesus died. Believe it or not, the Good Book doesn't mention Friday, and even more surprisingly, while the Bible says Jesus rose from the grave, it does not say it occurred Sunday morning. News veteran Joe Kovacs goes on a mission to help both Christians and non-Christians alike find out what the Bible really contains, and what it doesn't.

This book is a sequel to the book "The Bible Promises of Healing, 16 Letters for Mom." God's promises and His will for our healing are so extensive that it is hard to capture in one book all of the places in Scripture where He shares them. This volume and the first are great gifts for anyone searching for Scriptures and Bible promises related to healing, especially if they are trying to overcome illness.

In Twisted Unto Destruction, Donald J. Johnson (Convinced, Unprotected) shows how ditching the Church in favor of private Bible interpretation has also enabled some of the modern world’s worst crimes and vices. Once an Evangelical Protestant who took sola scriptura for granted, Johnson came to realize that setting ourselves up as little Magisteriums—whose opinions on the Bible’s meaning have to be as valid as anyone else’s—not only leads to endless splintering, but makes it possible to use Scripture to justify anything.

What happens at the end of our lives and of the course of history? Will God bring about a just and peaceful world? What lies beyond this realm, and what can we know of the beings who dwell there? In Death, the End of History, and Beyond, Greg Carey offers resources for understanding multiple, even conflicting, ways that the Bible imagines these ultimate realities.

Perhaps of all the books in the New Testament, James most squarely focuses on results.

In this multi-award-winning history of the Bible in Australia, Meredith Lake gets under the skin of a text that's been wrestled with, preached and tattooed and believed to be everything from a resented imposition to the very Word of God.

The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted.
