Religious Study Bible

Eine alte Geschichte: Sehnsucht, Glück, Verzweiflung, die Begeisterung für die Schönheit des Menschen, den man liebt: Kein anderes Thema ist so zeitlos, kein anderes packt jeden, früher, später... Wer liebt denkt anders. Wer liebt, geht auf Entdeckungsreise... was für ein Abenteuer, einen 2600 Jahre alten Text wiederzufinden... voll von Assoziationen, Düften, erotischen Anspielungen... das Hohelied Salomo, für hundert Generationen Freiraum und Spielmaterial... wie oft sind Zitate aus diesem Lied schon hin und her gegangen, wie Löschpapier vollgesogen mit realer Erfahrung.

The word hell conjures up all kinds of nightmares in people's minds. But it also presents a difficulty for many Christians. How can a God who the Bible says literally "is love" condemn anyone to an eternity of torment? Will punishment be eternal? Is hell for real?

"Le 2e livre des Maccabées" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament relatant la révolte des Maccabées sous un angle plus théologique et apologétique qu'historique. La période qu'il couvre est plus restreinte que celle du "1er livre des Maccabées" : il s'ouvre sur les derniers jours de Séleucos IV et se conclut sur la défaite quinze ans plus tard du général Nicanor par Judas Maccabée, héros de l'ouvrage.

The Bible tells us that Satan was thrown out of heaven: "And there was a war in heaven; And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil and Satan" - Revelation 12:7-9

We have collected stories of his coming to earth from numerous ancient accounts. We have gathered scientific evidence of his coming to earth. Satan was indeed thrown out of the heavens. We have the proof. Satan caused great evil on earth. We have come to know him as the personification of all evil.

"Le Livre des Juges" est l'un des livres de l'Ancien Testament pour les chrétiens. Il raconte la période de l'histoire des Hébreux entre la conquête du Pays de Canaan (rapportée dans "Le livre de Josué") et l'apparition de la royauté. À cette époque (vers -1150-1130), c'est sous la pression d'un danger et sur un mode défensif que les tribus d'Israël mettent à leur tête un chef : c'est l'époque des Juges.

In the past, Christians could easily answer the question of whether or not it was permissible to use cannabis by deferring to state prohibitions. We could simply say, “It’s against the law.” Today, that answer is no longer possible. Christians are now forced to do what they should have been doing all along: Think like disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring to bear the wisdom of the sufficient word of God.

In this audio compilation of the Book of Jeremiah, the narrator tells the story of the prophet Jeremiah. These chapters of the Bible are broken into biographical, prose, and poetic strands - and have a heavy focus on the events leading up to the fall of Jerusalem during a forty-year period. Here we focus on Jeremiah as the prophet who, from his young age to his grown years, delivers the word of God to the people of Israel at the most volatile and troubling times of their lives.

While it is not known when or where exactly The Book of Chronicles was written, it is speculated that it was written around 537 BC. The second Book of Chronicles details the reign of King Solomon, who was the son of King David. He ruled over Jerusalem as a just and prosperous king. Solomon built the temple as instructed by his father. After a 40-year rule, King Solomon died and thus began the reign of his son, Rehoboam. During the rule of King Rehoboam, the key tribes of Jews in Jerusalem rebelled against him, resulting in the division of the kingdom, except the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.

The Book of Isaiah was written by Isaiah (the son of Amoz), who served as prophet between 740 - 701 BC. This was a critical period in the history of Israel when corruption was rampant. The Jews were breaking God’s covenant and engaging in idolatry. Isaiah mentions Israel as falling to corruption. He says that there is hope for the people of Israel if they repent and mend their ways. In his dream, Isaiah saw God, who told him to preach to the people to remember and obey Him. He foretells of the fall of Israel and the exile of the Jews if they persist in their corrupt ways.

The Books of Samuel, 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel, form part of the narrative history of Israel in the Nevi'im or "prophets" section of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, called the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings) that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets. According to Jewish tradition, the book was written by Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan.

The two Books of Kings, originally a single book, is the tenth of the Hebrew Bible or the eleventh and twelfth books of the Christian Old Testament. It concludes the Deuteronomistic history, a history of Israel also comprising the books of Joshua and Judges and the Book of Samuel, which biblical commentators believe was written to provide a theological explanation for the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah by Babylon in c. 586 BCE and a foundation for a return from exile.

The parables that Jesus gave us can be categorized as teaching parables, kingdom parables, and prophetic and warning parables.
