Testament Bible

Does it feel like you should be happy, and want to be happy, and try to be happy, but somehow you just can’t be happy? One way to be unhappy is not getting what you most want. Another way is to get all you could possibly want…only to discover that everything is not enough. The writer of Ecclesiastes did it all. He had money, education, possessions, sex, and power—everything the modern world promises will bring joy—and yet he was never satisfied. And from his discontent, we benefit and find a surprisingly simple trail to lasting joy.

Ephesians presents a wide-ranging panorama of the Christian gospel and its implications. It looks backwards toward the creation of the world, and it looks forward to the time when God will be "all in all." It foregrounds the work of Jesus the Messiah and the work of the spirit, and it positions the church as central to the purposes of God--a small, working model of new creation.

L'ancien Père Abbé de Ligugé propose ici une approche dynamique du mystère de la Trinité. Il l'introduit par différents aspects touchant à la rencontre du Christ à la fois comme un phénomène lié à notre humanité, mais aussi comme expérience de la Parole de Dieu, de la liturgie, des sacrements et de la communion ecclésiale. Il montre qu'une telle rencontre se vit dans la force de l'Esprit divin : pour cela il revisite la vision de l'homme selon la Bible et la place qu'y tient l'Esprit saint.

Between 50 and 90 CE, the various writings that comprise the New Testament were written, including the four Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles of Paul, and other letters to more general communities of the early Church. But what is recognized as the 26 books of the New Testament today, in literally hundreds of English translations, actually took several more centuries to be determined as "canonical" by the Church.

One of the world’s leading theologians and biblical scholars introduces the prayer that Jesus gave us. ‘Our Father, who art in heaven …’ When he saw Jesus praying, one of his followers asked him to teach them how to pray. Jesus instructed them in the right words to use. When we say the words of the ‘Our Father’ we pray not only as Jesus taught us but also (in part) we pray in the same way Jesus himself prayed. We are bonded to him in prayer.

Stephen Mitchell’s gift is to breathe new life into ancient classics. In Joseph and the Way of Forgiveness, he offers us his riveting novelistic version of the biblical tale in which Jacob’s favorite son is sold into slavery and eventually becomes viceroy of Egypt. Tolstoy called it the most beautiful story in the world. What’s new here is the lyrical, witty, vivid prose, informed by a wisdom that brings fresh insight to this foundational legend of betrayal and all-embracing forgiveness.

The Old Testament is one of the most carefully studied books in the world’s history. It is also one of the most misunderstood. This founding text of the world’s three largest religions is also, Erich Fromm argues, an impressive radical humanist text. He sees the stories of mankind’s transition from divided clans to united brotherhood as a tribute to the human power to overcome. Filled with hopeful symbolism, You Shall Be as Gods shows how the Old Testament and its tradition is an inspiring ode to human potential.

L'"Épître aux Romains" est une lettre du Nouveau Testament envoyée par l'apôtre Paul à l'Église de Rome. L'épître aux Romains est certainement la plus importante des épîtres de Paul non seulement par sa taille (c'est la plus longue) mais surtout pour son contenu et son enseignement. Les idées développées dans cette épître forment le fondement de la doctrine des Églises chrétiennes au sujet de la justification par la foi. Cette épître se situe dans deux registres. D'une part, il s'agit d'une lettre adressée à une communauté rencontrant des difficultés.
