New Testament English

Long before the New Testament was a document, it was a sacrament. Jesus called the Eucharist by the name Christians subsequently gave to the latter books of the Holy Bible. It was the "New Covenant," the "New Testament," in his blood. Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could be read at Mass.

They’ve been called legalists, hypocrites, and the ultimate villains of the Gospels. But what if everything you think you know about the Pharisees is wrong? For centuries, they’ve been cast as rigid enforcers of outdated laws, standing in opposition to everything good and true. But history tells a different story. The Pharisees weren’t just rule-makers—they were the architects of a religious revolution. They took Judaism out of the Temple and into the home, shaping a faith that could survive war, exile, and destruction. Their debates laid the groundwork for modern Jewish thought, ...

Why do three Gospels tell the same story—yet speak with such distinct voices? For centuries, scholars, pastors, and Bible readers alike have wrestled with the mystery of the Synoptic Gospels.

Holland walks you through all the 66 books showing you how they are all connected and lead to one person, Jesus Christ.

It can seem as though today's culture encourages weakness, not strength. And this attitude has crept into the church: Don't take a strong position of faith. Don't take a strong view of evangelism. Don't maintain strong moral values. Yet God's people are called to be soldiers, and to fight for His cause and kingdom. Based on the book of Joshua, Be Strong is an inspiring guide to pursuing a victorious life. Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe's best-selling "BE" commentary series, Be Strong has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh.

New Testament scholar N. T.

Often seen as the author of timeless Christian theology, Paul himself heatedly maintained that he lived and worked in history's closing hours. His letters propel his listeners into two ancient worlds, one Jewish, one pagan. The first was incandescent with apocalyptic hopes, expecting God through his messiah to fulfill his ancient promises of redemption to Israel. The second teemed with ancient actors, not only human but also divine: angry superhuman forces, jealous demons, and hostile cosmic gods.
