In The Bible’s Cutting Room Floor, acclaimed author and translator Dr. Joel M. Hoffman gives us the stories and other texts that didn’t make it into the Bible even though they offer penetrating insight into the Bible and its teachings. The Book of Genesis tells us about Adam and Eve’s time in the Garden of Eden, but not their saga after they get kicked out or the lessons they have for us about good and evil.

Artist and screenwriter Brian Godawa used to revel in his ability to argue the truth of the gospel, often crushing his opponents in the process. In time, however, he began to realize that winning an argument about the logic of Christianity did not equal persuading people to follow Jesus. What was missing?

What does it mean to "leave quietly"? It means making the worst mistake of your life. By leaving quietly, you inflict unspeakable harm on your children and grandchildren. The battle is raging. Two realms are seeking to influence the natural world--light and darkness. There is no middle ground. Depending on how you participate in life, either Heaven or Hell will advance its agenda into the Earth. The Holy Spirit is trying to show us what is at stake. He is trying to create something that will stop an evil every bit as hideous as Hitler.

For many women, knowing God’s five purposes for their lives—worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism—leads to the natural questions, “What am I doing in the midst of deadlines, diapers, to-do lists, laundry, and daily schedules? What is the connection between my life...

The Bible is the most influential book in Western history. As the foundational text of Judaism and Christianity, the Bible has been interpreted and reinterpreted over millennia, utilized to promote a seemingly endless run of theological and political positions. Adherents and detractors alike point to different passages throughout to justify wildly disparate behaviors and beliefs. Translated and retranslated, these texts lead both to unity and intense conflict.

"Le livre des Nombres" est le quatrième livre de la Bible. Ce livre regroupe tous les éléments qui ont pris place entre la sortie d'Égypte et l'arrivée en terre promise. Il doit son titre aux nombreux dénombrements ou recensements des Israélites qu'il comporte, mais cela ne représente pas l'essentiel de l'ouvrage. Ce texte aborde des thèmes variés et on y trouve des récits, des textes de lois, des prophéties et des listes généalogiques. Il relate l'histoire du voyage d'Israël depuis le mont Sinaï jusqu'aux plaines de Moab à la frontière de Canaan.

Dans certaines bibles et traditions, "Les livres de Samuel" sont regroupés en un seul. Dans d'autres, ils constituent deux livres séparés, généralement désignés sous la forme I Samuel et II Samuel.

For far too long, the church has tried to make disciples using a one-size-fits-all approach. Some churches advocate 1-on-1 discipling, others try getting everyone into a small group, while still others training through mission trips or service projects. Yet others focus all their efforts on...

The Bible and the Ballot demonstrates the proper use of scripture in contemporary political discussions. Christians regularly invoke the Bible to support their positions on many controversial political topics - gay marriage, poverty, war, religious liberty, immigration, the environment, etc. - and this book will help facilitate those conversations. Tremper Longman provides a hermeneutical approach to using the Bible in this manner, then proceeds topic by topic, citing important scriptures to be taken into consideration in each case and offering an evangelical interpretation.

The Bible remains the best-selling book of all time, believed by nearly two billion Christians and Jews to be divinely inspired. But in this hard-hitting new book, author Robert J. Hutchinson proposes that it is actually much more than this. The ideas enshrined in the Bible, he says, triggered a revolution in human thought and established the moral and philosophical foundation for Western civilization.

Science and religion have two seemingly opposing views of the universe’s biggest questions. But what if the real story told you they were both right? Vancouver, 2009. Physics engineer and CEO Daniel Friedmann loves solving problems. When the avid scientist dives deep into scripture, he’s faced with questions he feels compelled to answer: Is it possible to harmonize the scientific timeline for the development of the universe with the biblical timeline described in Genesis 1? How do the evolution of human history and prophecies surrounding the End of Days fit in?
