Bible Theology

In this Audio Bible Study, Twelve Women of the Bible, Lysa TerKuerst, Elisa Morgan, Jeanne Stevens, and others look at the spiritual lessons learned from 12 biblical women and their implications in life today.

Babylon is not a place but rather the seducing spirit of Antichrist, which has quietly infiltrated the pulpits, pews, bookstores, and homes of the Christian ranks. Armed with a vast array of worldly charms and enchanting indulgences, she has deceived believers into exchanging a vibrant life in God for the empty shell of powerless religion. Intoxicated with Babylon rips the mask off this harlot’s face and exposes how she has subtly woven her mindset into the fabric of the end-times Church.

Christians in Bible-believing churches often do not receive explicit teaching on angels because expositional sermons focus on the meaning of the text—and the biblical authors are rarely focused on discussing angels. The consequence is that legends or superstitions often cloud our reflections about supernatural beings. Pastors also rarely receive in-depth exposure to this subject in seminary. This book satisfies a need for teaching about the angels for a popular audience who want to speak and think biblically about the spiritual realm.

Guiding us through a rich tapestry of new discoveries and ancient scriptures, The Jewish Gospels makes the powerful case that our conventional understandings of Jesus and of the origins of Christianity are wrong. In Boyarin's scrupulously detailed account, the coming of the messiah was fully imagined in the ancient Jewish texts. Jesus, moreover, was embraced by many Jews as this person, and his core teachings were not at all a break from Jewish beliefs and teachings. Jesus and his followers, Boyarin reveals, were simply Jewish.

IN his inmost heart every man seeks good and loves God. But God is great, and man is small; good is complex, while passion is simple and insistent. Hence all men forsake the good, and disobey God. This, in the concept form of philosophy, is the truth contained in the historical-pictorial representation that Adam was created holy, and subsequently fell. External quest of goods less than the best is easily forgivable: internal habits of hugging self and pushing God and the good away, though harder to eradicate, are still forgivable. Only the confirmed perversity that hates and despises ...

With The Chronological Guide to Bible Prophecy, author and illustrator Todd Hampson will deepen your sense of wonder for the Bible’s complete accuracy while guiding you through a timeline of God’s pledges to his people.

Revive the Christian meaning of heart-centered living. The role of the heart in the quest to love God and to follow Christ has been lost. By cultivating a pure heart devoted to loving God, one follows the teachings of Christ. The Bible is saturated in references to the heart. By examining the heart-related verses in the four Gospels, it is apparent that Christ makes multiple points regarding the heart and its primacy in Christian life. Christ states that the heart is the human origin of both good and evil; the heart is the home of the spiritual discernment (not the mind or intellect); to ...

I had the opportunity to visit Rome several years ago. It is a city steeped in history. One can’t walk but a few steps before encountering some relic of the past. As we would walk down the city streets, some quite ancient, we would notice these black posts on most blocks. They appeared to be quite old and as we approached, we discovered that they were fountains providing fresh water. We refilled our bottles as often as we needed so we could continue on our journey. The book of Romans is much like that. It is an old book, but as you wander through its pages you will find streams of living ...

Heaven has received a lot of attention in recent years as best-selling books and movies have told the stories of people who claim to have been there. But what does the Bible actually say about heaven? What difference does it make? What happens the moment after we die? What will our relationships be like in heaven? Chip Ingram sets aside the hype and myths and digs into scripture to discover what God actually wants us to know about the hereafter. Most importantly, Ingram shows why our understanding of heaven matters now, in this life.

Robin Meyers, a rising star of liberal Christianity, restores the true mission of the faith that captures the heart of Jesus's concern for people over "right belief." Saving Jesus from the Church will resonate deeply with those who enjoy the works of John Shelby Spong, Marcus Borg, and John Dominic Crossan.

The Gospel of Ruth vests every woman’s life with kingdom purposes and frees us to embrace wholeheartedly God’s calling. This story of two women who have lost everything contains a profound message: God created women not to live in the shadowy margins of men or of the past, but to emerge as courageous activists for his kingdom.

The Bible and ancient Near Eastern texts reveal in stunning detail how under the guise of his ancient aliases, Satan directed angels to descend on Mount Hermon to create a race of hybrids, how he raised up one called “Lord of the Earth” who was the first and foremost post-flood hybrid, and how he attempted to open the abyss and release his army to ensure his unending reign upon the Earth.

This book walks through six covenants from Genesis to Revelation, helping us grasp the overarching narrative of Scripture and see the salvation God has planned for us since the beginning of time―bolstering our faith in God and giving us hope for the future.

Was the nation of Israel replaced by the Church, or is that just one of many lies we're told? Replacement Theology is taught in many churches around the world, so it's important that we understand exactly what it's about and if it has any biblical basis.

When did Satan fall? We know that the angels were created prior to the Earth. We find Satan had already fallen in Genesis 3. The mystery is, when did he fall? It appears that there are substantial Scriptural references to his rebellion, his agenda, and the subsequent catastrophic judgment that ensued. This raises the whole issue of the origin of evil. And why hasn't God simply wiped him "and sin" out completely?
