Here, among other texts, are writings describing the girlhood and betrothal of Mary and her life before Christ's birth; the childhood of Jesus, as described by Peter and Nicodemus; and the appearance of Christ before the gates of Hell, from whence he...

I am part of a vast ocean of Christians that view the Word of God through a different set of eyes than those of many pastors, professors, and church staff members. I have interest in the deep theology of scripture and recognize my need to be exposed to and covered by the Word of God similar to that of my "called" brothers in Christ. Yet I want it delivered to me in a simple "worker's language." Recent translations have strived toward this end and...

This book was not written; it was built. I was not the architect, but a laborer under the direction of the Holy Spirit whose purpose is to honor the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not intended for casual reading, but to inspire further study of the Word. It is my hope and prayer that readers will be inspired to build upon the concept of the church as Gods alternative society. It is my hope that many sermons will grow out of what the Holy Spirit has given...

Es un hecho mil veces constatado que, observadas con la perspectiva que privilegia la mirada histórica, las manifestaciones proféticas de la Biblia se comprenden de forma más objetiva si se integran en el marco cultural extenso de los textos de tema profético que, desde su redescubrimiento moderno, se han ido exhumando en las principales geografías del Oriente Bíblico (Mesopotamia y Egipto). Así, este número de Reseña Bíblica contiene artículos...

The author's wife has frequently reminded him that there is a sermon in everything! The parables of Jesus demonstrate clearly to us that spiritual truths can be readily communicated with the aid of everyday objects. Just as Jesus used real life situations such as sowing or lost coins, so the attempt is made here to draw spiritual lessons from objects met every day. The emphasis in this book is on familiar objects, such as will be met frequently in...

We are told by the church that "man is born into sin and that only through the shedding of blood can he be saved." The true message is that humankind is created in the image of God and that we are "good." Humans do sin but not because of Adam and Eve or a serpent in a garden or an evil being called Satan. Humans have free will and often...

This Gist-Bible is a paraphrase of the Torah of the Bible, it is not a verseby- verse paraphrase, or a paragraph-by paragraph paraphrase; we may have made a full page out of one short paragraph, or a short paragraph out of a full page. It was a team effort. Winner Torborg, the president of Bread of Life International Ministries has noticed how people get confused so easily from basic translations of the Bible. Many translations have a clear rendering...

Tuvieron que pasar cinco siglos para que los cristianos osaran representar a Jesús crucificado. Muerte infame y discurso paradójico a la vez, el Mesías crucificado es "escándalo para los judíos y locura para los paganos" (1 Cor 1,23), tanto actualmente como ayer. Pablo, Marcos, y, luego, todos los demás, lo catalogan de Buena Noticia para todos, de "Evangelio". En el concilio de Nicea, en 325, los obispos heredarán su reflexión y forjarán...
