In una fortezza nell'alto dei cieli gli angeli della Guardia Reale, guerrieri dello spirito, soldati azzurri con giubbe e calzari, fanatici delle missioni esclusive, sono riuniti in attesa del prossimo incarico. La chiamata arriva, il prescelto è Gabriele, che dovrà far brillare nuovamente lalleanza tra Dio e gli uomini, annunciando l'arrivo del Figlio. Comincia così la grande riscrittura dei Vangeli da parte di Eraldo Affinati, uno dei principali autori italiani che ha scelto di credere nell'educazione dedicando le proprie energie agli alunni più difficili.

Das biblische Gleichnis vom verlorenen Sohn (Lukas 15, 11-32) ist einer der populärsten Texte des Neuen Testaments. In neueren Übersetzungen wird es auch als "Gleichnis von den beiden Söhnen" bzw. "Von der Liebe des Vaters" bezeichnet. So weit die Bibel. Ihr geht es vor allem um Gott als den liebenden Vater. Der in die Welt gezogene und reumütig zurückgekehrte Sohn ist halt ein Sünder, der sich zu schämen hat. Was aber war wohl eigentlich seine Motivation, das Vaterhaus zu verlassen? Und was mag die Mutter gedacht, empfunden haben, von der im Gleichnis gar keine Rede ist?

"Evas bog" er en åbenbaring. Ikke fordi den har emne fra Biblen, men fordi Marianne Fredriksson er en ægte og stor fortæller. Hun beretter om, hvordan Eva havde det, da Kain havde slået Abel ihjel, og Adam bare gik ud i lunden og talte med sin gud. Ingen i familien kunne leve videre uanfægtet, og for Eva var det nødvendigt at søge tilbage til barndommens Paradis - eller hvad det nu var - og ind i sig selv. Det bliver en lang rejse, indimellem skræmmende og undertiden betagende, men til slut kan hun vende hjem og fortsætte det liv, som er hendes.

Christianity, from a priest and a nun - two stories crossed by the secret, by the suffering of not recognizing themselves in their ”sins”, in denying a reality that is telling them, more and more strongly, that they are weak before the acceptance of their wrong decisions. The characters are just mere figures placed in the plot to delve into a constant and disturbing message: Someone is always on top of someone else; someone who sentences with ideas conditioned to their benefit.

Hölderlin war ein leidenschaftlicher Wanderer, seine innige Liebe zur Natur hatte sicherlich einen großen Einfluss auf sein Denken. Also tun wir es ihm gleich: Wir wandern und lauschen gleichzeitig den Geschichten aus seinem Leben, seinen Gedichten, den Briefen seiner WeggefährtInnen, seiner Mutter, seiner Geliebten. Dies soll keine literaturwissenschaftliche Lehrstunde sein, sondern eine emotionale Annäherung an die vielschichtige Gedankenwelt eines Dichtergenies, welches es nie schaffte, im "profanen Alltagsleben" Fuß zu fassen.

"Hay una miríada de relatos en la tradición judía, y en parte también en la musulmana, que describe a Caín de forma diferente a la versión bíblica; y yo, que al fin y al cabo no soy más que un cuentacuentos, he trabajado sobre esos relatos alternativos." En esta obra, Andrea Camilleri ofrece una visión insólita y sorprendente del primer homicida de la historia. Se trata de un Caín inventor del concepto de elección, y por tanto de la idea de responsabilidad de la que descienden las nociones tan radicadas en la cultura occidental, de culpa y culpabilidad.

Die Erzähler der Sagen und Märchen aus der Bibel gehen deftig und handfest ans Werk, und ihre Gestalten mögen riesige Umrisse zeigen, sie bleiben menschlich. Keinen dieser vielen Erzähler kennen wir mit Namen. Es gibt keinen Homer, keinen Vergil, keinen Wolfram, Rabelais, Tolstoi oder Faulkner, nur eine lange Reihe von Schreibern, deren Geschichten uns aber seit Ewigkeiten begleiten und großen Einfluss genommen haben.

In a systemic era where the nation seemed to have forgotten the biblical standards set forth by Father God, tensions were high. Families struggled to maintain normalcy amid immorality and injustice. Seth and Gloria Echols were no exception. Like other families that stood on the word of God, they purposed to do the same. Yet, as the nation began to tear away from the very heart of God, they faced yet another crisis: Their marriage was falling apart. How would they sustain the normalcy that modeled the definition of Christianity in the face of a national crisis?

Two thousand years ago, when the Romans came to arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, the disciple Peter cut off the ear of an innocent man. Jesus rebuked Peter and quickly healed the servant's ear - and the Sword of Peter took on supernatural powers. Fast forward to modern day where a Biblical archaeology quest for the Sword of Peter is imperative to both Israel and to the Christian world.

Will it be successful, or will this also result in disaster?

Thousands of years ago, Moses was given the stone tablets with God's Commandments. They were kept in the Ark of the Covenant for a time, but they're no longer there. In modern day, Achava is a spiritual warrior. And a wife and a mother-to-be. Now, in their final mission from God, Achava and Sam must find and return the stone tablets of the Commandments of God into the Ark of the Covenant. It's their most dangerous mission ever - not only will Achava have to fight her greatest battle, but she must do it while carrying their child.

On the shore of the Sea of Galilee, in the first century Palestine, a spirit possessed a woman, Mary of Magdala—a generous and learned woman of business. Mary drew together a community of outcasts, rescued from lives of poverty and humiliation. Longing for children, she brought into her circle a Greek slave girl, Demetria, and adopted her as a daughter. Though she was a devout Jew, it was natural for Mary to show compassion to all those who were looked upon as "other"—gentile, prostitute, and leper.

Step back into New Testament times - to Ancient Palestine at the time of Christ and of the historical Roman Empire, and ask: What could a cynical, non-conformist dry-goods salesman, a disgruntled blacksmith, and a musing mendicant all have in common? The answer: Down deep, they all seek something better. But will they find the true fulfillment they are seeking?

Based on the holy bible and representing a new and innovative genre of bible literature, this scripturally-based yet fictionally-portrayed book is about 26 people, written from the perspective of those who were directly or indirectly involved with Jesus the Christ. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were spectators who participated in the miraculous events associated with Jesus' life. Their stories, completed in the first century, are eyewitness accounts of Jesus interacting with, ministering to, and helping people.
