For centuries, the story of Adam and Eve has resonated richly through the corridors of art, literature, and theology. But for most moderns, taking it at face value is incongruous. Author John Walton explores the ancient Near Eastern context of Genesis 2-3, creating space for a faithful reading of Scripture along with full engagement with science for a new way forward in the human origins debate.

The Bible is widely considered to be the most profound collection of books in all of history, and it includes messages and stories that are still referenced today in the secular world. But it’s long, complicated, hard to read, and not organized in chronological order. In The Short Bible, author Dr. Peter Bylsma offers basic facts about the Bible, discusses the development of the modern Bible, and reviews its themes. He summarizes all the books of the Old and New Testaments in 25 short, easy-to-understand chapters, capturing the epic stories, characters, and main ideas.

A thorough exposition of the book of Romans, with emphasis on the major doctrinal points. With outlines, definitions of key words, insights from the Greek, and a clearly labeled discussion of each verse.

Do you already have a good grasp of the Old Testament? Wonderful. This book will be an enjoyable review. Do you not know the difference between the Bible and The Hobbit? Also fine. This book will be a helpful map into unknown territory. By the time we're done, you won't know all the ins and outs of the story, but you will have a strong grasp of the major movers and shakers. We will sit shotgun with patriarchs and prophets. Each one will take us a little farther down the Old Testament road until we get to the goal: to Jesus, the one in whom the whole story finds fulfillment and meaning.

Ecrit dans une période comprise entre l'an 80 et l'an 120, par un auteur qui vivait en Syrie en un temps où les trois autres Évangiles étaient déjà en circulation, le manuscrit, en grec et non en hébreu, a été ultérieurement mis en ordre par un rédacteur dont on ignore presque tout, même s'il est présenté comme "le disciple qu'aimait Jésus".

Serious students of the Bible quickly discover the diversity that stems from the human origins of Scripture, such as different authors writing in different times, places, genres, and languages. Written by an expert in biblical theology, this short, accessible book helps listeners understand the unity that springs from the divine authorship of Scripture and how the whole Bible fits together.

The letters from Jesus to the Revelation churches must be the most misunderstood chapters in the Bible. Many people dismiss them as too hard, too strange, or too scary. “Did Jesus really say that?” Contrary to what you may have heard, these letters are good news from start to finish. They are love letters from Jesus to all of us, and they reveal the extreme goodness and favor of God. In Letters from Jesus, Paul Ellis unpacks the astonishing good news found in these ancient letters. In them he finds answers to tough questions.

In Revelation Unveiled, Dr. Tim LaHaye, co-author of the best-selling Left Behind series, reveals the scriptural foundation of beloved novels.

God Is Disappointed in You is for people who would like to read the Bible...if it would just cut to the chase. Stripped of its arcane language and interminable passages, every book of the Bible is condensed down to its core message, in no more than a few pages each. Written by Mark Russell with cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler, God Is Disappointed in You is a frequently hilarious, often shocking, but always accurate retelling of the Bible, including the parts selectively left out by Sunday School teachers.

Critics outside the church often accuse the Old Testament God of genocide, racism, ethnic cleansing, and violence. But a rising tide of critics within the church claim that Moses and other "primitive," violence-prone prophets were mistaken about God's commands and character. Both sets of critics dismiss this allegedly harsh, flawed, "textual" Old Testament God in favor of the kind, compassionate, "actual" God revealed by Jesus. Are they right to do so?

Jacob seems to be anything but a model disciple. He's a trickster, liar, and selfishly ambitious man who fathers children with four women and leads a dysfunctional family rife with jealousy and backstabbing. But Jacob is also Israel, the namesake of the Old Testament community of God, chosen and blessed. As such, this sinner-saint, who limps along with the Lord, burdened by weakness and beset by problems, is the mirror image of all of us who follow Jesus.

"Le livre de Job" est l'un des Livres du Tanakh (religion juive) et de l'Ancien Testament (religion chrétienne). Poème didactique écrit en prose, on considère généralement qu'il porte sur le problème du Mal. Dans ce récit dramatique, Satan accuse Job devant Dieu et prétend que Job ne servirait plus l'Éternel s'il se trouvait dans l'affliction. Dieu va donc prouver à Satan que son serviteur Job lui demeure fidèle, même dans la souffrance. Dieu permettra au diable de le frapper.

"Le livre de l'Exode" est le deuxième livre de la Bible et de l'Ancien Testament. Il raconte l'exode hors d'Égypte des Hébreux sous la conduite de Moïse, le don des Dix Commandements et les pérégrinations du peuple hébreu dans le désert du Sinaï en direction de la Terre promise. Son titre originel en hébreu est Shemot, littéralement "les Noms". Traditionnellement, la rédaction du livre est attribuée à Moïse.

The books of the Bible were written at different times by different authors over a period of approximately 1,500 years from around 1400 BC through 90 AD. The Old Testament was written in Biblical Hebrew, excluding the books written during "the Chaldean captivity" such as Daniel and Ezra which were written in "Biblical Aramaic" during the "Chaldean captivity". Many of the books of the Old Testament bear the names of the prophets who authored them. Moses compiled the earlier parts of Genesis and directly authored the remaining portion.

The book of Acts bursts with the passion of early Christians embracing God's work and spreading Jesus's message worldwide. It also lays bare the challenges churches face, demonstrating that 'normal church life' has never been plain sailing.
