For many, Revelation is both confusing and overwhelming. The many views surrounding the book can produce a paralyzing effect, causing many Christians to avoid it altogether. But the book of Revelation is profoundly meaningful and applicable to our lives today as followers of Jesus. Revelation The End of Time and the Eternal King is a verse-by-verse expositional study of the book of Revelation intended to make perhaps the most difficult and controversial book of the Bible accessible to the average reader/listener.

Did the New Testament canon arise naturally from within the early Christian faith? Were the books written as Scripture, or did they become Scripture? Why did early Christians have a canon at all? These are the types of questions that led Michael J. Kruger to pick apart modern scholarship's dominant view that the New Testament is a late creation of the church imposed on books originally written for another purpose.

From one of the most respected theological minds of the twentieth century, this revised and updated classic book on biblical prophecy uses solid biblical evidence to explain over 1,000 key prophecies of Scripture, including those that point to events still to come.

How to pray, how to serve, how to overcome, how to love: Jesus taught the disciples these timeless lessons through hands-on experience and powerful parables that resonated in the hearts of multitudes. Most evident in John 13-21, however, is Christ's teaching on the transforming power of joy—how to have it, hold onto it, and never let it go.

For the longest time, Paul's Epistle to the Romans has been used to justify misogyny, homophobia, eternal conscious torment, and blind allegiance to the State. However, the truth is that the Apostle Paul never intended his letter to the Church in Rome to teach any of those things. That's why co-authors Keith Giles and Matthew J. Distefano have collaborated to correct these misunderstandings and illuminate the true meaning of Paul's theological masterpiece for today's Christian listener.

L'"Évangile selon Matthieu" est le premier des quatre évangiles canoniques que contient le Nouveau Testament. Il est aussi le tout premier livre du Nouveau Testament. Ce livre a été attribué pendant de longs siècles à l'apôtre Matthieu, le collecteur d'impôts devenu disciple de Jésus de Nazareth. L'"Évangile selon Matthieu" contient le sermon sur la montagne. La portion la mieux connue est probablement celle des Béatitudes, qui se trouve au début de la section. Il contient aussi la prière du Notre Père et les injonctions contre la loi du talion.

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.

Trials and tragedies are notorious for keeping sloppy appointment books. We never quite know when they will knock on the door of our lives. But knock they will. God does not shield His children from trials; in fact, some trials come our way simply because we are God’s children. A lot of it doesn’t make much sense. But that is precisely when God does His best work—ironically, in the darkness of our trials.

In this concise, engaging book, noted New Testament scholar Luke Timothy Johnson takes listeners on a journey back to the time of the early Roman Empire, when the New Testament was written in ordinary Greek (koine) by the first Christians. The author explains how the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, and Revelation evolved into the canon of sacred writings for the Christian religion, and how they reflect a reinterpretation of the symbolic world and societal forces of first-century Greco-Roman and Jewish life.

John Shelby Spong, best-selling author and popular proponent of a modern, scholarly, and authentic Christianity, argues that this last gospel to be written was misinterpreted by the framers of the fourth-century creeds to be a literal account of the life of Jesus when in fact it is a literary, interpretive retelling of the events in Jesus' life through the medium of fictional characters, from Nicodemus and Lazarus to the "Beloved Disciple."

Boldly change your life and those you influence by developing an ear to not only hear, but to also listen to God's heart. God released grace upon Anna to fast and pray unto the revelation of Jesus to the Earth the first time. God is releasing a similar grace upon a whole generation of women who will operate in a similar anointing as Anna's unto the revelation of Jesus to the Earth in his second coming.

In the early centuries of Christianity (first to fourth century), the composition of the Bible was not fixed, as letters and manuscript were often kept separate, and different communities had different collections of texts. Many letters and sermons of the nascent Christian church in the first few centuries were persevered, even though they were not included in the New Testament.
