I wrote these books, Part One and Part Two, for all those who demanded of me believable answers to their thoughtful and intelligent questions. With or without me, these people so often found themselves in the presence of the Risen Christ and subsequently had even more questions about Jesus of Nazareth. He was and is to them the man Jesus, before the transformation wrought by the resurrection. Our subsequent myths have bred confusion, making Jesus of Nazareth remote and incomprehensible and the Risen Christ an unrelated magical figure.

The theologian Clarence Larkin (1850-1924) examines each chapter in The Book of Daniel and its meaning. It includes a chapter on the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel’s interpretation of it. Published in 1918, the book prophesied the re-establishment of the State of Israel.

Romans is more than a collection of proof texts for Reformed theology. It is an exposition of God's plan to take back the world. In this new commentary, Douglas Wilson tackles Paul's meaty letter passage by passage, explaining Paul's central message: Jesus’s death and resurrection have transformed the world. God has brought an end to the old covenant and ushered in a new covenant, joining Jews and Gentiles in one new people.

Você crê mesmo no que a Bíblia diz? Para alguns, esta pergunta pode até parecer esquisita, vinda de um livro que, provavelmente, será lido, na maior parte, por cristãos. Mas eu não a considero tão esquisita assim. A Bíblia contém assuntos bem estranhos—assuntos estes que são difíceis de acreditar, principalmente no mundo moderno. Não estou me referindo aos grandes tópicos, tais quais a vinda de Jesus à terra como Deus, que depois morreu na cruz e ressuscitou de dentre os mortos.
