Testament Bible

This is more than a Bible you listen to; it’s an experience that helps you enter God’s word...so God’s word can enter you. Narrated by George Sarris, a well-known spokesperson for several Fortune 500 companies and a talented communicator, this audio edition of the Old Testament in the beloved New International Version (NIV) will reignite your passion for the word of God.

This is Leo Tolstoy's integration of the four biblical gospels into a single account of the life of Jesus. The Gospel in Brief is an intriguing fusion of biblical texts and Tolstoy's own religious views. Tolstoy explains that his goal is a “solution to the problem of life," not a theological or historical statement. He therefore ignores issues like Jesus' genealogy and divinity, focusing instead on the words and teachings of Jesus, stripped of what he regarded as the Church's distortions and focus on dogma and ritual.

Why does the Bible contain so many stories of hurting people? Though their situations vary, their conditions don't. They have nowhere to turn. Yet before their eyes stands a never-say-die Galilean who majors in stepping in when everyone else steps out. Lucado reminds us that the purpose of these portraits isn't to tell us what Jesus did-but rather to remind us what Jesus still does.

L'"Épître aux Philippiens" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Elle est envoyée probablement vers 61 après Jésus-Christ par l'apôtre Paul à l'Église de Philippes. Il l'écrivit pendant son premier emprisonnement à Rome. Cette épître invite entre autres les chrétiens à vivre leur foi dans la joie comme en témoigne le verset : "Réjouissez-vous toujours dans le Seigneur! Je le répète: réjouissez-vous!" (Ph 4:4).

L'"Épître aux Éphésiens" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Le texte est constitué d'une lettre attribuée à l'apôtre Paul et adressée à l'Église d'Éphèse (située dans l'actuelle Turquie).

Here is Thomas Jefferson's classic abridgment of the Bible, in which Jefferson sculpted the words and ideas of Christ into a resounding moral philosophy. On and off for 17 years (including his term in the White House), Jefferson cut and pasted the philosophy of Jesus Christ, as recorded in Scripture, into one compact statement. He omitted any references to the virgin birth, miraculous healings, demonic possession, or supernatural events of any kind. His aim was to distinguish the moral philosophy of Christ from the religion that was later created around Christ.

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery, masters could beat their slaves, creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt, and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

This Christian devotional book contains more than 100 thoughtful quotes and proverbs of wisdom, prayer, thanksgiving, trust, praise, and worship hymns from Old Testament’s Biblical book of Psalms that can be great for anyone interested in living wisely.

L'"Épître aux Hébreux" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Elle est censée s'adresser à des "Hébreux" mais l'identité de ces destinataires offre matière à discussion, si tant est qu'il s'agisse d'une véritable lettre. L'Épître aux Hébreux constitue en même temps l'un des plus anciens traités de christologie et l'un des plus novateurs.

La "1ère épître à Timothée" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Avec la deuxième épître à Timothée et l'épître à Tite, elle fait partie des trois "épîtres pastorales" ou "trito-pauliniennes", dues à des disciples tardifs de l'apôtre Paul. Paul avait laissé Timothée à Éphèse, dans l'intention d'y retourner plus tard. Mais il pensait qu'il risquait d'être retardé. La lettre est adressée au disciple Timothée, peut-être de Macédoine, pour lui donner des conseils et des encouragements sur l'accomplissement de son ministère.

L'"Épître à Tite" est un livre du Nouveau Testament attribué à l'apôtre Paul. Elle fait partie des trois Épîtres pastorales. L'"Épître de Jude" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Elle est envoyée par "Jude serviteur de Jésus-Christ et frère de Jacques" (Jd 1,1), autrement dit Jude l'un des frères du Seigneur cités en Mc 6,3.

La "1ère épître aux Thessaloniciens" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. L'épître est envoyée par l'apôtre Paul, depuis la ville de Corinthe, à l'Église de Thessalonique, au cours de sa première visite en Europe. Selon toute vraisemblance, elle a été écrite en 50-51. De ce fait, il s'agit du plus ancien écrit du Nouveau Testament. Son œuvre en Thessalonique est décrite dans Actes 17. Il voulait y retourner mais ne put le faire (1 Th 2:18). Il envoya donc Timothée réconforter les convertis et leur dire comment il allait.

A fresh reading of the Old Testament text in light of the ancient Near Eastern context can open new avenues of awareness. Walton provides a clear, helpful guide to the nature of biblical prophecy and apocalyptic literature that will help listeners avoid potential misuse and reclaim the message of the prophets for their lives.

Bridging the end of the Old Testament period and the beginning of the New Testament period, this book surveys the history and theological developments of four significant eras in Israel's post-exilic history: the Late Persian Era (465-331 BC), the Hellenistic Era (332-167 BC), the Hasmonean Era (167-63 BC), and the Roman Era (63-4 BC). In doing so, it does away with the notion that there were four hundred years of prophetic silence before Jesus.

The book of Acts bursts with the passion of early Christians embracing God's work and spreading Jesus's message worldwide. It also lays bare the challenges churches face, demonstrating that 'normal church life' has never been plain sailing. Acts is a dynamic narrative of journeys, trials, and triumphs, inspiring us in our own spiritual journeys. Acts, Part 1 spans from Luke's introduction to Herod's death in chapter 12.

Many portions of the New Testament introduce a compassionate Jesus who turns the other cheek, loves his enemies, and shows grace to all. But the Jesus we find in Revelation and some portions of the Gospels leads an army of angels bent on earthly destruction. Which is the true revelation of the Messiah - and how can both be in the same Bible? How to Read the Bible and Still Be a Christian explores this question and offers guidance for the faithful conflicted over which version of the Lord to worship.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Thus begins the famous words of Jesus known as the Beatitudes. There are eight such sayings, each beginning with the words, “Blessed are.” Each one of these beatitudes taught everyone in the first century (and still teaches everyone in the twenty-first century) how to be blessed. They might be mistaken for a shopping list for the soul, just a list of eight virtues to pick up before we leave the store. But they’re not. They’re inseparably interwoven.

The Gospel of Matthew reveals that Christ is God incarnated to be the king-savior who came to establish the kingdom of the heavens by saving his people from sin through his death and resurrection.

"Le livre des Psaumes" (en hébreu, Livre des Louanges), aussi appelé Psautier, est un livre de la Bible. Le mot "psaume" vient du grec psalmos qui désigne un air joué sur le psaltérion. "Le livre des Psaumes", selon l'Évangile de Luc et les épîtres de Paul, est interprété par les chrétiens comme une prophétie des mystères du Christ. Les Pères de l'Église ont continué cette démarche car depuis le IVe siècle, le livre des psaumes est devenu le fondement de la liturgie chrétienne.
