Joseph Lumpkin's concise study of Deuteronomy, the fifth and final book of the Torah, offers a profound exploration of its role as a pivotal bridge between the wilderness narratives and the subsequent history of Israel in the Promised Land, detailed in Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. The name "Deuteronomy," derived from the Greek "Deuteronomion," meaning "second law," aptly captures its purpose as a reiteration and expansion of earlier laws.

This book welcomes listeners to appreciate the origins of Christianity within the Roman world in which early Christianity got its first foothold. It does that by immersing listeners in the life and culture of two thriving first-century towns—Pompeii and Herculaneum. Those towns (destroyed in the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE) act as showpieces of the world into which the early Christian movement was spreading.

John's Gospel offers listeners a new language—of being born anew, of living water, of wind and spirit, of the "I am"—that enhances how we understand the divine, how we experience the world, and how we participate in the mystery of faith.

Matthew 24 stands as one of the most significant and debated chapters in the New Testament, primarily for its prophetic content regarding the end times and the second coming of Christ. This section, part of the extensive Olivet Discourse, captures Christ's detailed response to his disciples' questions about the signs preceding the end of the age and the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. As Christ foretells of immense turmoil, from wars and rumors of wars to the rise of false prophets, listeners are drawn into a vivid prophecy of a world in spiritual and physical upheaval.

The birth of Christ is possibly one of the most controversial sto-ries among believers. Was Mary really a virgin when she got pregnant or was Joseph the father? Did Christ fit the signs of the Messiah in the Old Testament or should we be looking for another? Only two of the four synoptic gospels go in depth about the birth and early years of Christ. As we read through the books of Matthew and Luke, we begin to get a clearer picture of the first twelve years of the life of Christ. Understanding those early years are vital when it comes to knowing who it is we believe in and why.

The life of Christ is the central focus of the entire New Testament. His birth was prophesied in the Old Testament, and those that knew of his coming patiently awaited his arrival. While not much is known about the early years of his life, we do have bits and pieces scattered throughout the gospels, that give us glimpses of what Christ’s life was like prior to him starting the ministry we are mostly familiar with from the latter part of his life.
