The Making of Martin Luther takes a provocative look at the intellectual emergence of one of the most original and influential minds of the 16th century. Richard Rex traces how, in a concentrated burst of creative energy in the few years surrounding his excommunication by Pope Leo X in 1521, this lecturer at an obscure German university developed a startling new interpretation of the Christian faith that brought to an end the dominance of the Catholic Church in Europe.

Dieses Buch ist eine kompakte, faktenbasierte Reise durch die Frage, die seit Jahrhunderten Gläubige, Skeptiker und Historiker gleichermaßen beschäftigt: Gab es Jesus wirklich? Es kombiniert wissenschaftliche Präzision mit einem zugänglichen Stil und verzichtet bewusst auf überlange Ausschweifungen oder spekulative Mystik. Stattdessen konzentriert es sich auf das Wesentliche – die Spuren, die Jesus von Nazareth in der Geschichte, Kultur und dem Denken der Menschheit hinterlassen hat.

In this illuminating audiobook, Thomas Kidd draws on his expertise in American religious history to retrace the arc of this spiritual movement, illustrating just how historically peculiar that political and ethnic definition (white Republican) of evangelicals is. He examines distortions in the public understanding of evangelicals and shows how a group of “Republican insider evangelicals” aided the politicization of the movement. This book will be a must-listen for those trying to better understand the shifting religious and political landscape of America today.

What if every Christian discovered that his or her favorite teacher in church history had blind spots and held to some false - and even shocking - views? Best-selling author Frank Viola argues that this simple awareness will soften Christians when they interact with each other in the face of theological disagreements.

The controversy grows with every sale of the best-selling novel. Throughout the contemporary fictional storyline of The Da Vinci Code, author Dan Brown skillfully weaves "historical" assertions intended to shake the very foundations of Christianity. Authors James L. Garlow and Peter Jones present compelling evidence that Brown's assertions are not only historically inaccurate, but may also contain a hidden agenda.

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, it was meant to be. Heard that one before? We're not supposed to get "attached" to another person. We're supposed to remain free and independent, yet at the same time we all want commitment, intimacy, and real love. Is that even possible?

Hoy en día, Martín Lutero es conocido como el hombre que se enfrentó a papas y emperadores en defensa del evangelio. ¿Qué llevó a este solitario monje alemán a desafiar a la Iglesia católica romana? No fue la arrogancia ni la ignorancia. Lutero sabía lo que significaba vivir en la oscuridad de una culpa no resuelta. Una vez que descubrió que su aceptación ante Dios es un don recibido por la fe sola en los méritos de Cristo solo, Lutero fue liberado, y no descansaría hasta que la luz de esta verdad se extendiera por el mundo.

Taiwo briefly describes the eight Biblical Covenants and their relationship with one another; the Abrahamic Covenant, Noahic Covenant, Covenant of Grace, Davidic Covenant, New Covenant, Mosaic Covenant, and the Covenant of Redemption.

Finally, he describes the Blood of Jesus, its applications and implications in the Christian Faith.

This book False Doctrine Revealed and Corrected was written as a result of many various beliefs and traditions taught and practiced. It was when Mr. Hill began a conscious effort to study the Bible that he noticed and realized there were certain discrepancies in what was taught from his youth and what the Bible was saying. He had to ask the question: What am I to believe—what I was taught from my youth or what the Bible teaches me itself?

In Know How We Got Our Bible, scholars Ryan Reeves and Charles Hill trace the history of the Bible from its beginnings to the present day, highlighting key figures and demonstrating overall the reliability of Scripture. Reeves and Hill begin with the writing of the Bible's books (including authorship and dating), move into the formation of the Old and New Testaments (including early transmission and the development of the canon), and conclude with several chapters on Bible translation from the Latin Vulgate to the ongoing work of translation around the world today.

At age 21, Andrea Palpant Dilley stripped the Christian fish decal off her car bumper in a symbolic act of departure from her religious childhood. At 23, she left the church and went searching for refuge in the company of men who left her lonely and friends who pushed the boundaries of what she once held sacred. In this deeply personal memoir, Andrea navigates the doubts that plague believers and skeptics alike: Why does a good God allow suffering? Why is God so silent, distant, and uninvolved? And why does the church seem so dysfunctional?

Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to At the Precipice of Time and learn about the hardcore, often-intimidating, and difficult-to-understand commentary on the Book of Daniel.

È il "comandamento nuovo" che umanizza e dà un significato universale a tutti gli altri che, se assunti nella loro pienezza, convergono verso questo appello unitario. Esso esprime la rottura più importante compiuta da Gesù rispetto al giudaismo: la logica della religione dei Padri si apre a una dimensione "altra", segnando il passaggio dalla Legge mosaica alla legge dell'Amore, come presenza di Dio nella storia umana. Non è legge della Ragione, ma verità che appartiene alla condizione di ogni singolo.

In The Forgotten Preface, Joshua Barzon presents 10 theses based entirely on the King James translators’ words in their preface to the KJV. This book deals with what the King James translators believed (chapter one), an endorsement of modern Bible translations (chapter two), an evaluation of a particular modern translation as a case study (chapter three), and quotes from respected historic Christians who used and endorsed modern Bible translations (chapter four). A modern English translation of the preface is also included as an appendix at the end of the book.

We hear the stories about Peter and John, and all the heroes of the New Testament, and they're unstoppable Christians - fearless and bold. And sometimes we wrongly assume that they just got that way. That Christ died for their sins, and bam! They're instantly changed! On the contrary, the disciples were actually quite cowardly in their actions after the Resurrection.
