February 1, 2003. A light flashed over a Texas sky and twisted metal rained across the countryside.

What is the proper Christian attitude toward Mary, the mother of Jesus? Should Christians honor the mother of Jesus, or would such behavior conflict with the will of God? If Christians should honor Mary, why should they do so, and what form should that honor take? Does Jesus care whether Christians honor his mother? Do Christians who honor Mary receive a blessing in return? Many Christians, having never searched the Scriptures for answers to these questions, nevertheless have formed strong opinions on these matters. Wishing to promote informed interfaith dialogue, and believing that God is ...

Do we have anything in common with the bad guys of the Bible? The sins of wrath, idolatry, and abuse of power are closer to us than we think. How do we guard against them? We learn not only by following moral exemplars; we also need to look at the warnings of lives gone wrong. In this fictionalized narrative, JR. Forasteros reintroduces us to some of the most villainous characters of Scripture. He shows us what we can learn from their negative examples, with figures such as Cain, Jezebel, and even Satan serving as cautionary tales of sin and temptation.

The account of Joseph’s life in the Bible begins with a seventeen-year-old being sold off as a slave and concludes with him becoming second-in-command of all ancient Egypt.

Everything included in this story has a foundation either from ...

Modern readers of the New Testament often notice its varying ideas about women. Some passages encouraged women to be submissive and remain silent. Yet in others, women characters owned property, headed households, or spoke with approval. Women in the New Testament World helps listeners understand this conflicting evidence. It argues that social norms of the time encouraged traditional feminine virtues. However, as Susan Hylen argues, women in the culture enacted these virtues in a variety of ways, including active leadership in households, associations, and cities.
