Five years after his brilliantly successful, Pulitzer Prize-winning book about God as portrayed in the Old Testament, Jack Miles gives us his striking consideration of Christ. He presents Christ as a hero of literature based only in part on the historical Jesus, asking us to take the idea of Christ as God Incarnate not as a dogma of religion but as the premise of a work of art, the New Testament.

A Selfless God and a Priceless Gift explores the profound theological concept of selflessness and sacrifice through the lens of the Almighty God. The book delves into the idea that a benevolent God, motivated by unconditional love for humanity, manifested in human form with the ultimate purpose of sacrificing Himself for the salvation of all. Pastor E. Marcel navigates the life of Jesus Christ, portraying his birth, ministry, and eventual crucifixion as the embodiment of His selfless act. Jesus offers himself as a priceless gift so that mankind could experience rebirth and eternal life. The...

A lovely pocket booklet exploring the Holy Eucharist using Sacred Scripture, the Church Fathers as well as various Popes. It will undoubtedly inspire you

This book has been written to examine the seven statements that Jesus had made while He was on the cross. When someone is about to pass away, their final words are often worth remembering, and that is definitely true of the Lord. In the first five chapters of this text, many of the events that had led to His crucifixion will be discussed. The Old Testament prophecies about His coming, His mission while on earth, and His Incarnation will be considered. A conversation that He had had with Nicodemus will be examined to see why He had had to be crucified as opposed to experiencing some other ...

Life is precious. It is a terrible thing to waste life. We made fool of ourselves once when we squandered the opportunity given to us in as great a place as the Garden of Eden – opportunity to live life to the full. Out of that ideal place, the same opportunity has come up again to us to make a choice between life and death, and it has come in the form of Jesus, the Life. Take it or leave it, it is going to be the final decision. The Life is written specially to define life and state in clearest terms how can we live a life sans death. Life is no life it comes to an end one day. Life does...

The Bible teaches that every spirit which isn't from God denies that Jesus has come in the flesh, and is an antichrist spirit. The word “Christ” means “anointed one.” Antichrist spirits work against the anointing. All orthodox Christians acknowledge that Jesus came as a man, with a human body. However, it's easy to mentally acknowledge a truth but deny its implications. We can say something is true, yet actually think and act as if it isn't. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. If what we believe isn't producing power, we should consider how well we really understand the ...

Christianity is not a religion, but God's good news for the world. This implies that it has both a divine origin and a human relevance: it comes from God and it speaks to our condition. So, before we ask, 'What is the gospel?', we need to ask, 'What is a human being?' Radical indeed is the discipleship which takes all of this and Christ's lordship seriously. It's nothing short of a life-changing message.

This detailed outline for the end-time prophecies has been divided into thirteen chapters. It should probably be suitable for a diligent student of the Bible who wants to look through the prophecies in an outline format. It will also be good for anyone who wants an easier way to study the prophecies. Each chapter will begin with a focus for the entire chapter. Then a list of usually five questions will follow which are intended to guide the reader through the most important parts of the chapter. The structure of each chapter is in a somewhat loose outline format. That should make it easier ...

The "death" spoken of in Genesis 3:3 was clearly not death as we know the word today. Adam and Eve went on to live for another 930 years and started the human race, so evidently, the death spoken of here was referring to spiritual death, what most Christians like to refer to today as "separation from God".

La divinité du Seigneur Jésus-Christ est un principe essentiel—et non négociable—de la foi chrétienne. Il y a de cela très longtemps, Jésus a posé cette question à ses disciples : « Et vous, qui dites-vous que je suis ? » Voilà une question vitale à laquelle nous devons tous répondre. Heureusement, la Parole de Dieu nous éclaire sur l’identité de Jésus-Christ et apporte une réponse définitive à cette question. Dans ce livre, le pasteur et théologien John MacArthur présente une défense biblique de la divinité de Christ, la pierre angulaire de la doctrine chrétienne.

What if there is a way to recapture spiritual momentum? What if we could tap into the apostles' longing to simply be in the presence of the resurrected Christ without getting entangled in date-setting or disagreements about the Millennium? Pastor Chris Davis points the way forward. Exploring the return of Jesus on the terms of the New Testament letters, this audio study looks at portraits of Jesus' appearing, rhythms necessary to maintain expectancy (including gathering, fasting, and resting), and the practical transformation such anticipation effects.

Originally written for Jewish converts to Christianity, the book of Hebrews describes the many ways Jesus and the religion of Christianity fulfilled and surpassed the elements and practice of the Jewish faith.

The events of the Crucifixion continue to fascinate biblical scholars and artists alike. Amongst the drama of that momentous day was a humble request and the reply that it received, an incident that manages to crystalize something of the essence of Christianity. Dismas - The Penitent Thief: An Introduction seeks to explore what is known of the individual who made that request and discover his story, his significance, and how he continues to inspire others

Growing up in religion, I believed that I was blessed as long as I was doing something productive for God, or I was forgiven as long as I begged and pleaded for forgiveness. The words "free" or "gift" never clicked. Whenever I heard the gospel, there was a contingent on it, "You are saved by grace through faith, but…" This "but" would always lead to something extra one must do not to lose this free gift. This mixed message left me confused, burnt out, and further away from God.

Les chrétiens peuvent facilement avoir l’impression que Jésus est perpétuellement déçu et frustré par leur marche chrétienne, voire qu’il est même sur le point de les abandonner. Ils savent ce que Jésus a fait pour eux, mais ils ont souvent une connaissance superficielle de sa personne. Quels sont les sentiments qui l’animent lorsqu’il considère les péchés et les échecs de son peuple ? Dans Matthieu 11, Jésus se décrit comme étant « doux et humble de cœur », désirant ardemment que son peuple trouve le repos en lui.

In this five-session, audio Bible study (guide sold separately), Andy Stanley unpacks the power of faith and the need for maintaining your confidence in Jesus Christ amid the ups and downs of daily life. If you grew up in a religious home, you were probably taught that God answers prayers. Maybe you were even taught that if you just had enough faith, God would say yes to what you were asking him to do.

The title of this text is "The Life and Ministry of Jesus." But it is not just a story about Jesus' life. It is first of all a harmony of the gospels so that the reader can get a complete picture of His life. It is also a commentary on the gospel of John. What that means is that the twenty-one chapters of John's gospel are discussed. But in between those chapters are mixed in the different accounts by Matthew, Mark, and Luke. So with all of that, one gets a good chronological sequence of events of the life of Jesus. Also because John focused on showing the deity of Christ, one gets his ...
