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.

D'après le titre de son livre, Michée a exercé son ministère sous les trois rois de Juda, Jotham, Achaz et Ezéchias (857-494 av. J.-C.).

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.
