Testament Bible

The New Testament Apocrypha refers to texts written by early Christians that were not included in the Bible used by the main branches of Christianity today. These texts vary in subject matter, with some being accounts of Jesus, others being about the nature of God, and still others being accounts and teachings of Jesus' apostles. What makes them fascinating is not just the history behind why they are considered non-canonical, but what they tell us about the early Church and early Christianity. Moreover, they offer insight into what sources were used to write them, and whether they shared the same sources as the texts that comprise the Bible today. Given their historical and religious importance, there is still a fierce debate over the authenticity of many of these texts.

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.

"La prophétie d'Amos" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Le prophète Amos, dont le nom signifie "porteur", était originaire de Thekoa, une ville du royaume de Juda, au sud de Jérusalem. Amos était berger et homme de la terre. Sa connaissance de la vie agricole transparaît à plusieurs reprises dans sa manière de s'exprimer. Selon ses propres indications, Amos prophétisa aux jours des rois Ozias de Juda (791-740 av. J.-C.) et Jéroboam II d'Israël (793-753 av. J.-C.).

"La prophétie d'Osée" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Il fut probablement achevé entre 745 et 740 av J.-C. Le thème fondamental du livre est l'amour de Dieu pour son peuple. Le prophète Osée a épousé une prostituée sacrée nommée Gomer. Son amour pour sa femme malgré ses fautes lui fait comprendre que l'amour est inconditionnel et permanent. Il établit alors un parallèle entre sa vie privée et la relation de Dieu avec la nation d'Israël.

"Le livre de Sophonie" ou de Cephania est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Il date du VIe siècle avant l'ère chrétienne. Sophonie est un prophète qui vécut pendant le règne de Josias, roi de Juda. Il y est annoncé la venue du Jour du jugement de Dieu pour le peuple d'Israël qui a adopté des dieux païens et commis des mauvaises actions. Les nations voisines sont aussi menacées, en particulier les Philistins, le royaume de Moab, les Ammonites, la Nubie et la ville de Ninive, capitale de l'Assyrie.

"Le livre de Malachie" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Malachie insiste beaucoup sur les dysfonctionnements du culte et invite ses auditeurs à y remédier promptement: payer les dîmes, immoler des bêtes en bonne santé...

Il s'inscrit dans la perspective des livres d'Esdras et de Néhémie.

"Le livre des Lamentations" ou "Lamentations de Jérémie" est un livre du Tanakh et de l'Ancien Testament. L'auteur est anonyme.

Son contenu se rapporte à une période entre 598 av. J.-C., date de la première déportation, et la prise de Babylone par Cyrus en 538 av. J.-C.

"Le livre de Habacuc" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Habacuc est un prophète de Juda qui parla de l'état pécheur du peuple, peut-être au cours du règne de Joaqim, roi de Juda (env. 600 av. J.-C.).
