New Bible Study

This volume in the Revolutions Series presents Jesus Christ as a figure akin to revolutionaries like Robespierre, Marx, and Che Guevara. In this new presentation of the Gospels, Terry Eagleton makes a powerful and provocative argument for Jesus Christ as a social, political and moral radical, a friend of anti-imperialists, outcasts and marginals, a champion of the poor, the sick and immigrants, and as an opponent of the rich, religious hierarchs, and hypocrites everywhere

Much of the contemporary discussion of the Jesus tradition has focused on aspects of oral performance, storytelling, and social memory, on the premise that the practice of communal reading of written texts was a phenomenon documented no earlier than the second century CE. Brian J. Wright overturns that premise by examining evidence that demonstrates communal reading events in the first century.

There exists a psychological relief in the knowledge that one possesses the means to enjoy an exceptional lifestyle while traversing the globe, or in times of adversity, the resources to address such challenges. For reasons that defy explanation, numerous religious doctrines stigmatize discussions surrounding finances and monetary matters. Such topics are often approached as though they constitute a sin or an inherent evil; however, in actuality, they are neither. Wealth serves as a resource that grants individuals access to a diverse array of opportunities that life presents.

La "1ère épître aux Corinthiens" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Elle est envoyée par l'apôtre Paul à l'Église de Corinthe. Selon les "Actes des Apôtres", l'apôtre Paul est le fondateur de l'église de Corinthe. Lors de son deuxième voyage missionnaire, il passe dix-huit mois au sein de cette communauté. Il arrive d'Athènes où il a eu l'occasion de débattre avec les philosophes grecs. Sur place, il rencontre un Juif du nom d'Aquila et sa femme Priscille. Paul s'établit chez eux. Ils travaillent ensemble car Priscille et Aquilas sont également fabricants de tentes.

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.

What will the world look like in the last days? One significant clue the Bible offers is a fascinating look at New Babylon.

As you explore the Bible's prophecies about the last days, you'll discover that no matter how uncertain the future looks, you can have peace knowing that God is in full control of all things.

Is our hope in the gospel of Christ sufficient for our every need? After reflecting on this question during periods of difficult earthly circumstances, Paul wrote two letters to the church at Colossae to express the hidden hope “laid up for you in heaven” (Colossians 1:5) and found in the person of Christ. In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, author Kevin W. McFadden focuses on the specific teachings of Paul to examine the theology and themes of Colossians and Philemon.
