The Babylonian Empire, one of the greatest civilizations in human history, left an enduring legacy of cultural achievements, monumental architecture, and military conquests. But beyond its impressive power and influence, Babylon holds a pivotal place in the biblical narrative, serving both as a historical empire and a profound symbol of human defiance against Jehovah. In The Babylonian Empire, Edward D. Andrews offers a detailed exploration of Babylon’s rise to dominance, its lasting impact on the ancient world, and its role in Scripture. From the grandeur of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign to ...

The story of the New Testament’s transmission is one of dedication, resilience, and faithfulness. In The Early Versions of the New Testament: Their Origins, Transmission, and Reliability, Edward D. Andrews recounts how imperfect yet committed individuals worked tirelessly to translate and preserve the sacred texts, ensuring that the message of the apostles could be shared with people across the world. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the major early versions, including the Diatessaron of Tatian, the Syriac translations (Old Syriac, Peshitta, Philoxenian, and Harklean), the ...

The Bible. God inspired it. But who wrote it? The Bible is called "the Word of God" because God inspired it, but that's not precisely the same as saying that He wrote it. In fact, the Bible itself contains dozens of statements showing who the human authors were. As with so many things in our world, God the Almighty did His work through human agents, agents that He moved to write down the words by which He has inspired, informed, and encouraged His people for thousands of years.

The use of intercessory beings in prayer hasn't always been the normal accepted practice. As Christianity and paganism began to merge under the rule of the Byzantine Empire, many elements that existed within paganism were "Christianized" and adapted for use by the Church. This article will trace a possible origin for the use of intercessory beings in Christian prayer and will use evidence from the scriptures and noncanonical Christian books to weigh the use of intercessory beings against prayer.

Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis der drei großen Weltreligionen Christentum, Islam ist in den medialen Diskussionen allgegenwärtig. Es ist vom "Kampf der Kulturen" die Rede, von Interreligiosität (was aber genau ist das?), v.a. aber von politischen Problemen und Konflikten, die mit religiösen, ethnischen, gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen eng verknüpft sind. Doch liegt es nicht nahe, zu allererst die Urdokumente der Religionen, ihre Heiligen Schriften nämlich, zu befragen und nach Besonderheiten, Charakteristika und Gemeinsamkeiten abzuklopfen?

Issus de "l'étincelle divine", nous sommes tous un fragment de la force créatrice de Dieu le Père et Dieu la Mère. Si notre cerveau possède deux hémisphères, l'un masculin, l'autre féminin, il en va de même du miroir de la création. Notre Père, co-créateur de l'univers, immobile et imperturbable, est pur intellect, alors que Dieu la Mère est le dieu émotif et actif qui peut "interférer" avec notre plan de vie.

It might be unrealistic to try to write a book about what the Bible really says about tithing. But that is exactly what I have tried to do. The reason is because for several months I have felt like this is a book that the Lord has wanted me to write. However, I have resisted until now. Invariably I know that many people will disagree with some of the things that I have written. But in the pages that follow, every verse in the Old Testament and in the New Testament which says anything about tithing or about giving has been discussed. The honest intent has been to express what I believe the ...

This book begins by examining the two occasions when Satan and the "sons of God" presented themselves in heaven before the Lord. A brief explanation will be offered at that time concerning the use of the term "sons of God" and what it has meant in other places in the Bible, especially in Genesis 6:2 and Genesis 6:4. From there, the discussion will show how people can know that Job actually lived and when he had probably lived. The point will even be made that some theologians believe that Moses might have been the author of the book of Job. Next, the visit to Job by his three friends will ...

This book has been written about Joseph, the son of Jacob. He had had two dreams about his family members bowing to him, and those dreams had made them very angry with him. In fact, they hated him so much that they actually tried to get rid of him. They sold him to some merchants going to Egypt. Then, an Egyptian captain bought him out of the local slave market and brought him into his household. Because the Lord was with him, Joseph excelled everywhere he went and in everything that he did. But that did not keep him from getting into a lot of trouble. He ended up in prison when the ...

Sir Oliver Mowat served as a Christian lawyer, politician, premier of Ontario, and was one of the Fathers of Canadian Confederation. He was known by all his contemporaries as being a godly man who sought to do what was right in the sight of God, and who believed passionately in the proclamation and defense of the gospel, and the administration of its graces. Near the end of his life, he published two works on Christianity and its evidences and Christianity and its influence as his contributions to the development of a holistic Christian apologetic.

Israel: A Biblical Perspective begins by defining who Israel is, tracing its origins back to the patriarch Abraham and the formation of the Twelve Tribes. These tribes, descended from Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel), each inherited territory in the Promised Land under a divine covenant.
