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.

Jesus växte upp i ett fattigt hem utanför Jerusalem. Under hela sin barndom var han speciell, men efter att ha fyllt trettio börjar saker på allvar ta fart. Han påstår sig vara Guds son och ger sig ut på flera egendomliga resor för att frälsa och predika inför stora människosamlingar. Är han en förryckt galning? Eller är han i själva verket, som han påstår, Guds son? Matteusevangeliet är en av Kristendomens viktigaste kanoniserade texter.

Der Held muss in die weite Welt hinaus und Abenteuer erleben, um ein Held zu werden – und eine Geschichte zu haben. Und was ist mit der Heldin? Doris Dörrie erzählt von drei Reisen – nach San Francisco, nach Japan und nach Marokko – und davon, als Frau in der Welt unterwegs zu sein. Sich dem Ungewissen, Fremden auszusetzen heißt immer auch, den eigenen Ängsten, Abhängigkeiten, Verlusten ins Auge zu sehen. Und dabei zur Heldin der eigenen Geschichte zu werden.

La teología es un terreno demoníaco. Lo que Thomas Mann señaló sobre la música en su gran discurso en Washington de 1945 sobre "Alemania y los alemanes" no deja de aplicarse para hablar de cuestiones divinas y de cosas de este y otro mundo. También su observación en el mismo discurso de que la música es "el arte más remoto de la realidad y al mismo tiempo el más apasionado" se puede trasladar sin cambios relevantes a la naturaleza de muchas enseñanzas teológicas.

It's the first and greatest command - the most important thing. But even if we want to love God that way, most of us don't. Are we doomed? Absolutely not. Drawing from psychology, Shakespeare, loads of Scripture, and her personal experience falling in love at 13 (and staying in love for 26 years), Gerhardt makes a story-rich case for a surefire way to fall in love and stay in love with God. Inspiring, warm, genuine, and practical, Look to Love is both convincing and comforting. This isn’t a book to shame you into reading your Bible. It’s an invitation and a help.

We live in a radically different world than we did just a year and a half ago. The world has experienced unprecedented fear due to COVID-19. Consequently, most countries have undergone lockdowns, social distancing, and mandated masks because of the worldwide pandemic. The concept of community and its importance has radically changed in the minds of many people. This especially applies to religious communities, and the consequences of this are disturbing. This work discusses the importance of religious community from a Jewish perspective, but also emphasizes other religious traditions.

When British-born Elizabeth Blackwell earned her medical degree in America in 1849, there was an international outcry. Few at the time would have disagreed with the actress Fanny Kemble's remark - "What, trust a woman doctor - never!"

The identity and self-description of God and Christ in the Bible sentences, beginning with the words "I Am"....

The fractured Church has seemingly little impact on a fractured culture. With hundreds of denominations and a world waiting to see truth, maybe it's time for a different approach. Body Broken will take you into the heart of Jesus' prayer, "May they be one". Could we - you and I - be the answer to that prayer? And if so, what would it take for that to happen? In this audiobook, you'll find not only vision for us - together - being the Body of Christ, but also what we - together - can offer a broken world.

More than 50 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote his Letter from a Birmingham Jail. Much has transpired in the half-century since, and progress has been made in the issues that were close to Dr. King’s heart. Thankfully, the burning crosses, biting police dogs, and angry mobs of that day are long gone. But in their place, passivity has emerged. A passivity that must be addressed. That’s the aim of Letters to a Birmingham Jail. A collection of essays written by men of various ethnicities and ages.

Es ist das brisante Thema unserer Zeit. Christen, die Kirche und die Bibel scheinen mit der modernen Haltung zur Homosexualität nicht im Einklang zu stehen. Und es gibt eine wachsende Feindseligkeit gegenüber denen, die die moderne Sicht nicht teilen. Ist Gott etwa homophob? Und was sagen wir zu Christen und Nichtchristen, die sich vom gleichen Geschlecht angezogen fühlen? Sam Allberry weiß, wovon er spricht. Mit diesem kurzen, leicht verständlichen Hörbuch möchte er verunsicherten Christen helfen zu verstehen, was Gott dazu in der Bibel gesagt hat.

The New Testament book of Jude is a brief yet powerful treatise on the perils of false teaching within the Christian church.

This opus is a commentary on the book of Genesis, King James Version of the Holy Bible. While the entire manuscript may be listened to in just several hours, it is hoped that significantly more time will be spent on it. It’s guaranteed that doing so will be time well-spent. Not only does this work contain material suitable for the neophyte religious listener, but it also has a wealth of information for the most serious Bible scholar and student, as well.

We live in a church age of such profound apostasy that a large segment of evangelicalism is unable to biblically explain what it is to be a "Christian". This is largely due to a wholesale neglect of the doctrine of regeneration - that supernatural impartation of spiritual life to the spiritually dead that causes individuals to savingly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and so radically transforms their natures that the very desires of their hearts and acts of their wills reflect the nature of God who has made them new creatures in Christ. This is the subject of this little book.
