Before the gospels were written, there were proto-gospels, notes, lists, and collections used to construct the gospels we have today. Some gospels were used and built upon to form other, expanded gospels. The “Q” Document was used as a memory tool and literary scaffolding by Matthew and Luke in the writing of their gospels. Although many scholars believe Mark had access to the oldest parts of Q, others believe he did not. Since Mark predates Matthew and Luke, they believe Mark was used as a template for Matthew and Luke.

This magnificent story of Jesus' life, from his humble birth to the miracles he worked and the parables he told. This selection includes 11 tales, including "The Escape", "Wine and Water", and "Lazarus".

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jesus told a simple parable about a family...a father and his two sons. It was a story of rebellion, repentance, and unfathomable grace. The Parable of the Prodigal Son still stands out as a crucial lesson about our struggle with sin and dependence on divine salvation. But there is a part of this story that often goes untold. It's a message you need to hear.

What does it mean for Jesus to be “deified” in early Christian literature? Litwa’s samples take us beyond the realm of abstract theology to dwell in the second- and third-century imagination of what it meant to be a god and shows that the Christian depiction of Christ was quite at home there.

This two-volume expositional commentary on one of the Bible’s most powerful books integrates rigorous scholarship and clear communication. Boice not only explains the meaning of the text verse by verse and section by section, he relates the text’s concerns to the world in which we live, the life of the church, and the realities of the Christian life. Based on messages preached at Philadelphia’s world-renowned Tenth Presbyterian Church, The Gospel of Matthew displays Dr. Boice’s hallmark blend of thoughtful interpretation and contemporary insight for daily living.

What does the Bible say about third millennium prophets? What’s the difference between being a prophet and being prophetic? In The Prophetic Path, Ron Campbell guides emerging prophets along his own journey from South Africa to America and from the sanctuary to legislatures and boardrooms to reveal the prerequisites, principles, and perils of the office of the prophet. The Prophetic Path is a powerful discipleship resource, not only for emerging prophets but also for all who would be prophetic!

The theme of divine sonship stretches across the pages of the Bible: from Adam in the garden of Eden, through the nation of Israel and King David, and ultimately to Jesus Christ in the New Jerusalem―the Son of God par excellence. In this volume, renowned biblical scholar Graeme Goldsworthy shows what Christ's fulfillment of the divine sonship motif means for all who are sons and daughters of God.

The goal of this book is not to convert individuals to any specific religion, but to open up our understanding of how to hear God’s voice for ourselves within whatever group we live in. Think of it like this: each of us has been given a piece of paper. None of us has a whole piece of paper because there is no way we could totally understand Him. So, each of us is missing parts of the paper: some more than others.

God and Jesus, who is God, ask many questions in the Bible - both Old and New Testaments. Why? His questions reveal who he is and the motives of the person he is addressing. In book one of God’s Intriguing Questions, the Millers examined God’s questions in the Old Testament. In this book two, the Millers unearth rich background information and inspirational insights into 60 of the questions Jesus asks in the New Testament.

How do I live a truly good life? That, in many respects, is the question we all must ask ourselves and answer. As always, even in our post-Christian society, Christ is the answer, and we discover him in the New Testament. Drawing heavily from Pope Saint John Paul II’s encyclical Veritatis Splendor and other trusted sources, the author Václav Rajlich identifies four pillars of ethical reasoning: prohibited acts, prescriptions, priorities, and providence/grace (the 4Ps) to show how listeners can practically use these teachings to live a good life.

This fourth volume on the Gospel of John calls us to the peace that can be found in Christ’s love. Nowhere in the entire Bible can we walk on more holy ground as we listen to Christ’s final discourses.

The New Testament reports the arrival of God’s promised deliverer. In several Gospels, a book of early church history, many letters, and a visionary book of judgment and hope, we learn about the ministry and mission of Jesus and the lives of those who followed him. The Old Testament contained the shadows and patterns and prophecies that anticipated the Christ, and the New Testament announces that the Light of the world has come. We need to understand the story of the New Testament because it is about the one who changed the world--and who changes us.
