If God is the one in whom we all live and move and have our being, then perhaps, we are the ones in whom God lives and moves and has being, too. If so, where does God end, and where do we begin? In this book, author Keith Giles asks us to reconsider our common assumptions about God and ourselves in ways we've never imagined before.

“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35) Before Jesus suffered His Passion, Death, and Resurrection, Jesus promised to remain with us until the end of time. Therefore, Jesus established the Sacrament of the Eucharist where He would become nourishment for us. However, many people have had a hard time believing that the Bread and Wine that we receive at church are truly the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Because of this, Jesus has performed many Eucharistic Miracles where the Bread and Wine are ...

The concept of the divine Logos was a central topic not only in the Church, but also among the philosophers and theologians of the first centuries of our era. Irenaeus of Lyon, the most significant apologist of that time, focused on human participation in the divine Logos, especially in his main work Adversus haereses. Based on the Holy Tradition and the Scriptures, he offered an orthodox view of the Logos as equal with God, the Creator of the universe. Irenaeus explained that the Logos is inherent in all creatures, but more so in humans and spiritual beings. Because of the divine Logos, ...

Wheaton College scholar Nicholas Perrin takes on Ehrman and others who claim that the text of the New Testament has been corrupted beyond recognition. Perrin gives us a layman's guide to textual criticism so that listeners can understand the subtleties of Ehrman's critiques, and provides firm evidence to suggest that the New Testament can be trusted.

The past 10 years of scholarship have seen an unprecedented shift toward an early, high Christology, the notion that very early in the history of the Jesus movement his followers worshipped him as God. Other studies have challenged this view, arguing that Mark's story is incomplete, intentionally ambiguous, or presents Jesus in entirely human terms. Christology in Mark's Gospel: Four Views brings together key voices in conversation in order to offer a clear entry point into early Christians' understanding of Jesus' identity

Ric Machuga argues on biblical, historical, and theological grounds that universal salvation is necessary for a coherent proclamation of the Gospel. A creation in which some people suffer unending torment because God either can’t or won’t bring them to repentance is not good news. This last sentence is sure to provoke protest: “But what about free will?” Machuga responds by exposing modern assumptions.

SU COMPASIÓN ES MÁS GRANDE QUE NUESTRO PECADO "El Corazón de Cristo en el Cielo hacia los Pecadores en la Tierra" fue publicado inicialmente en 1651. Pronto, se transformó en la obra más destacada de Thomas Goodwin (1600-1680). Este libro es una excelente muestra de su perspectiva centrada en Cristo, así como de su combinación de precisión teológica y sensibilidad pastoral. En esta obra, Goodwin busca demostrar a través de las Escrituras que, incluso en toda su majestuosidad celestial, Cristo no se encuentra distante ni despreocupado por los creyentes, sino que mantiene un ...

Walking on water. Multiplying the fish and the loaves. Raising Lazarus from the dead. The miracles of Jesus may be well known, but they are often treated as nothing more than fanciful tales. Written as a companion volume to The Storytelling God: Seeing the Glory of Jesus in His Parables, this book by Jared Wilson argues for the historicity and importance of the miraculous events surrounding Jesus’s life and ministry.

Some people are so radically changed once they meet Jesus that they become agents of Love. Once you drink of His living water you become a source of living water. One thirsty soul can become a river. You can tell who the other drinkers are, the other lovers, the ones who've met Him.They have a sparkle in their eyes when they speak about Him. They have a spring in their step and limitless hope and faith. Their lives are not their own because they are owned by Love. This is the story of how Jesus met the woman at the well. This is the story of how I met Jesus. This is the story of how Love ...

The first Christian authors after the New Testament were the Apostolic Fathers, who, as disciples of the Apostles, passed on the Gospel in their writings. These earliest writers of the Church were not a homogeneous group, but preachers from various philosophical backgrounds. They did not seek a scientific justification for Christianity or the truths of faith. In their writings they did not directly raise issues connected to the concept of the divine Logos. The texts of the Apostolic Fathers instead had a pastoral character and were concerned mainly with the problems of their contemporary ...

The story of the Virgin Mary began with the revelation of her to the Angels in a colossal event known as the Trial of the Angels.

When Jesus died on the cross, He gave us Mary as our own Mother. Since then, the Virgin Mary became our own Mother and began to love each and every single one of us as if we were her very own children. Therefore, the Virgin Mary has done everything and more to help ...

This text has been written to show the clear parallels between the children of Israel having been delivered from Egyptian bondage during the offering of the first Passover lamb and the possibility for deliverance from sin and the penalty of sin by the offering of the Passover Lamb, who is Jesus. It begins in the first two chapters by explaining how the children of Israel had become slaves in Egypt. It then shares the birth of Moses, a little bit about him and his life, and how the Lord had used him to bring the children of Israel out of their bondage. Starting in chapter five of this text, ...

In the current cultural climate, few theological concepts provoke more discomfort or resistance than the idea of God's wrath. To many, the notion of a wrathful God appears outdated, harsh, or incompatible with a modern understanding of love, tolerance, and inclusivity. Contemporary Western society, in particular, has been shaped by a dominant cultural narrative that emphasizes self-expression, therapeutic well-being, and moral relativism. Against this backdrop, the idea that God would be angry—let alone righteously angry—at human sin or rebellion seems not only archaic but morally ...
