Long before the New Testament was a document, it was a sacrament. Jesus called the Eucharist by the name Christians subsequently gave to the latter books of the Holy Bible. It was the "New Covenant," the "New Testament," in his blood. Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could be read at Mass.

"Hope is not a sedative; it is a shot of adrenaline, a blood transfusion." Through clever word pictures like this, best-selling author and former pastor Warren Wiersbe preaches the same message Peter preached so long ago. Turning each enlightening page, believers gain increasing confidence in true Hope, a God in whom they don't just wish for eternal life. In Scripture, hope means the promise of salvation for those who have accepted Him and His Son's death and resurrection.

Tal vez un hombre sin alma no sea un hombre. Puede que sea un monstruo, como aseguran algunos, o puede que sea mucho más que un hombre. Ni siquiera yo, que conozco toda la historia, me atrevo a juzgar a un ser único. El Gris, aquel que no tiene alma, es por definición un fenómeno insólito. ¿Cómo describir lo que siente un hombre sin alma? Tal vez ni siquiera se deba intentar.

An outstanding selection of stories from the classic King James version of the Bible.

L'ancien Père Abbé de Ligugé propose ici une approche dynamique du mystère de la Trinité. Il l'introduit par différents aspects touchant à la rencontre du Christ à la fois comme un phénomène lié à notre humanité, mais aussi comme expérience de la Parole de Dieu, de la liturgie, des sacrements et de la communion ecclésiale. Il montre qu'une telle rencontre se vit dans la force de l'Esprit divin : pour cela il revisite la vision de l'homme selon la Bible et la place qu'y tient l'Esprit saint.

By popular demand, a new and complete audio version of the classes I have taught on the Book of Revelation for more than 20 years.

How should Christians conduct themselves in an increasingly secular society? Jesus answered this troubling question on the eve of His death with some of the most poignant, powerful teachings in His entire ministry. During those hours, Jesus taught His apostles and, consequently, all believers throughout history, How to Survive in a World of Unbelievers.

The Bible Companion helps you discover hope in the stories of His people. In the books of Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther, The Bible Companion Book 4 travels with Israel into exile and back. When coming home does not bring the relief, God’s people hope for, disillusionment leads to a crisis of faith. If you are in a hostile environment or overwhelmed by life’s disappointments, God has a word for you: Don’t give up. He is at work even if we cannot see Him. What He has planned is greater than anything we can imagine.

It's almost second nature for Christians to call God Father. Jesus taught his followers as much, although for them it was apparently a surprising practice. The worshiping community of the Old Testament used fatherly images for understanding God's character and actions, but "Father" was not a common way for believers to address God. In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Christopher Wright explores in depth the images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms, and prophetic texts of the Old Testament.

Top Jesus scholars Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan join together to reveal a radical and little-known Jesus. As both authors reacted to and responded to questions about Mel Gibson's blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, they discovered that many Christians are unclear on the details of events during the week leading up to Jesus's crucifixion. Using the gospel of Mark as their guide, Borg and Crossan present a day-by-day account of Jesus's final week of life. They begin their story on Palm Sunday with two triumphal entries into Jerusalem.

The Book of Revelation is probably the most frightening and perplexing book of the New Testament. Full of signs and symbols, predictions and warnings, it speaks of extraordinary times marked by falling stars, a bloodcovered moon, the collapse of empires, and widespread havoc. Such hyper-dramatic language characterizes all apocalyptic literature. Fr. Alfred McBride, O. Praem. sets the record straight with an authentic Catholic interpretation of the Book of Revelation. He gives you three keys to understanding the Book of Revelation.

Samuel. Saul. David. Goliath. Jonathan. When we think of 1 & 2 Samuel, these names and the stories that make them memorable generally come to mind. But these narratives are more than mere history. Peter Leithart offers here a typological reading of 1 & 2 Samuel as a unified book. By giving careful attention to the book's literary structures and its patterns of types and antitypes, Leithart unveils the symbolic world of Samuel's cumulative and cohesive story.

In this timely message, Matthew Robert Payne examines the words of Jesus to his disciples in Luke 9:23. “Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.’” Each of these three key points stands as a section heading, and Matthew then expands upon each one with several subheadings.
