This book discusses one of the most important set of verses in one of the most important chapters in one of the most important books of the Bible. The whole doctrine about being born again is based upon a conversation that Jesus had had with a Pharisee named Nicodemus. From that conversation, one can easily see the analogy between the brass serpent on a pole in the Old Testament and Jesus on the cross at Calvary. That analogy makes it clear that Jesus is the only way of salvation. People may try whatever they like. But John 14:6 says that no one comes to the Father except by the Son. All of...

Honestly, what is the real truth of salvation? What must we really do to obtain eternal life? In the book The Salvation Equation, Gabriel Ansley Erb answers these questions very clearly through a simple equation.

Remarkable Hope reveals a pattern of hope where individuals were surprised by Jesus in drastic ways after they placed their hope in him and were-at first-disappointed. Their stories show his work was rarely what they anticipated. As we observe Christ's faithful commitment to these Biblical characters who hoped in him, we are wowed by his unseen plan. We are comforted by his orchestration of circumstances and revived by his enduring presence. Remarkable Hope helps us gladly declare, like the apostle Paul, that "our hope does not disappoint us."

In Dirty God: Jesus in the Trenches, Johnnie Moore draws on both Scripture and his extensive experience with other cultures and religions to show how the God of the Bible is unique in his willingness to be near us in all of our messiness. Moore outlines the central importance of the doctrine of grace while introducing readers to a humble and human Jesus who reaches out to us at our worst and pulls us up to our best. Grace, Moore argues, is something that is both gotten and given, and the two-part structure of the book allows listeners to explore both of these dynamics.

El apóstol Juan escogió siete milagros de los muchos que realizó el Señor durante su ministerio y los ordenó para explicar quién es Jesús y cómo nos afecta su persona. Por eso, no son solo milagros sino señales. Describió estas señales de tal forma que al final de cada una nos lleva a sacar nuestras propias conclusiones y a tomar una decisión de fe en relación con la persona de Jesús. Pero el apóstol no solo pretendía narrar algunos prodigios para impresionar a sus lectores. Escogió cuidadosamente algunos de los que él mismo presenció y los relató de tal manera que ...

El soliloquio, es un género literario poco explotado, pero muy antiguo. Se refiere a la escritura donde no hay dialogo, sólo un monólogo de una persona consigo misma, en general en voz alta y sola. El soliloquio permite un acercamiento a la intimidad de las personas de una forma que otros estilos literarios no permiten. En este texto, el autor se concentra en lo que pudieron ser los pensamientos de quienes tuvieron la posibilidad de interactuar con uno de los hechos más portentosos de la historia: La resurrección de Cristo. Son pensamientos imaginarios, pero que no deben estar muy ...

In Who is Jesus?, Leander E. Keck discusses the quest for the Jewish Jesus of history and challenges listeners to think seriously not only about Jesus' historical existence but also about his ongoing moral and theological significance. Keck clarifies the difference between the way Jesus is presented in the gospels and the way critical historians portray him.

The Hebrew word, 'elohiym, for "God" was used at least two thousand six hundred and six times in the Old Testament. Its first use in the scriptures was in Genesis 1:1. The Hebrew word, yhwh, for "LORD" was used six thousand five hundred and nineteen times in the Old Testament. Its first use in the scriptures was in Genesis 2:4-5. Those two Hebrew words when put together become yhwh 'elohiym and form the expression "LORD God." That combination appears five hundred and nineteen times in the Old Testament. But each of those words was also used separately throughout the scriptures with other ...

People sometimes have difficulty understanding the Trinity. But if that is the case with someone reading this Introduction, then he or she should not feel too bad. It took the scholars and theologians of the early Church about five hundred years after the Incarnation of Jesus to even begin to figure it out. The whole idea of one God is not too difficult to understand. But when the same scholars and theologians start talking about one God in three persons, then the whole matter becomes much more complicated. Is it biblically correct to say or think of three different persons of deity, daily ...
