This is the incredible true story of a Galilean stonemason who changed the course of the world forever. He lived and died over 2,000 years ago, fulfilling expectations that existed long before his birth. His birth had been mystically foretold by astrologers for hundreds of years, yet the rulers of his day dreaded his coming. This humble builder-teacher became a magnet for the poor and down trodden, a symbol of love and mercy, who transformed the lives and restored the health and purpose in all who encountered him.

In the late 1820s, John Nelson Darby abandoned his career as a priest in the Church of Ireland to become one of the principal leaders of a small but rapidly growing religious movement that became known as the “Plymouth Brethren.” Darby and other brethren modified the Calvinism that was common among their evangelical contemporaries, developing distinctive positions on key doctrines relating to salvation, the church, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the end times.

Throughout the modern era, Galileo Galilei has been presented as a victim of cruel torture of conscience, theological narrow-mindedness, and ecclesiastical harassment typical of a dark, closed-minded Church. Frequently portrayed as such in theaters due to prevailing political ideologies, the story of Galileo points to the long-held tension between “science and faith,” “technology and ethics,” and “progress and the Church.” The story of the real Galileo, however, which has not been told—until now—is sure to rock the established narrative.

Christianity in England is in decline. Congregations are dwindling and ever fewer young people believe. Should we merely shrug our shoulders and accept this as inevitable and even healthy, or is something important being lost? Bijan Omrani argues that this decline is the most momentous change to occur in English history. He shows how a religion that has been part of our national story for over 1700 years was instrumental in the creation and development of the English nation, its codes of law and morality, and its structures of government and kingship.

It’s fashionable among scholars to say that the Gospel of Thomas is not gnostic. Indeed, excessive interpretations and wrong assumptions about Gnosticism have dogged the interpretation of this text in the past. But “gnostic” is a matter of definition, and definitions can be enlightening or unhelpful. Key features like salvation by gnosis, opposition to archons, the inner light, opposition to flesh, opposition to the world, and a seekership outlook combine to make the Gospel of Thomas a key instance of Gnostic spirituality. This book introduces the Gospel of Thomas as a gnostic text ...

Many people are interested in exploring nondualistic interpretations of the experience of Jesus. But all too often, nondualism is understood in only a vague way, without specifying the dualisms that are sought to be overcome. There is often an emphasis on an experience of oneness with God. But how does such an experience relate to the historical Jesus? How does it relate to his understanding of himself as the Messiah/Son of Man/Son of God? What do these terms and ideas mean in the Jewish context of his time, and what can we say about their origin, and how these ideas relate to other ...

The year was 1848 and three people, their lives previously unconnected, were about to reshape the world. Karl Marx's Manifesto rolled off London presses as women gathered at Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s convention in Seneca Falls, N.Y. to demand equal rights. At the same time, Alfred Russel Wallace sailed to Brazil to collect specimens for something being called natural selection. This pivotal year marked the moment Western civilization began a two-century descent—not merely from tradition, but Creation itself. In this sweeping historical and cultural analysis, “The Age of Envy” traces ...

A voice from out of the past reminds us of radical issues which have not yet been resolved by the Reformation, nor even by Christians living in this modern age. This book reveals that the early church existed, even thrived with only the Holy Spirit guiding her. No formal programs . . . each day was different. No paid clergy . . . the brothers and sisters shared Christ.

Christians yearn for rapid advances in the progress of conversion in the world, holiness in their lives, and fruitful labor for the cause of God and truth. They want God-sent revival. These twelve chapters explore the periods and persons in American history that saw observable advances in these pervasive Christian hopes. Some manifested greater doctrinal purity than others, some highlighted distinctive personalities more than others, and some generated impressive statistics in the number of persons affected.

In all the discussion of women’s roles in the Church, we’ve ignored a pressing question: Why don’t men go to church anymore? Why are the most common traits of the modern Church doves and quilts and little old ladies? Dr. Leon Podles documents the current feminized state of the Western Church, the masculine traits that once characterized Christianity, and how they can be restored. While the masculine exodus from churches is dangerous for the Church, it is also dangerous for society as a whole. Masculinity will out.

The Pseudo-Clementine Homilies are an early Christian novel presenting a theological and philosophical narrative in the voice of Clement of Rome. Structured as a travel memoir, the story follows Clement’s journey through the eastern Mediterranean alongside the apostle Peter. Central to the work are Peter’s public debates with Simon Magus, which serve as a vehicle for the text’s engagement with topics such as divine providence, free will, the nature of truth, and the proper interpretation of Scripture. The narrative also explores themes of family, identity, and divine guidance, giving ...

If God is our creator and wants us to follow Him, why does everything have to be so complicated? Timeline gaps and the laws of physics forcefully argue against such vague spiritual nonsense. No wonder so many ignore God Almighty and His primary means of communication, the Bible.

Ken Boutwell and I became fast friends soon after he sent me a manuscript to publish as his first book in 2016. He was referred to my publishing company by a mutual friend who was his pastor at First Baptist Church in Tallahassee, Florida. He told me at that time that he was also working on a second book which would address racism and bigotry throughout history with an invitation to join him and others in changing these cruel cultures around the world.
