New Testament Times

Much of the contemporary discussion of the Jesus tradition has focused on aspects of oral performance, storytelling, and social memory, on the premise that the practice of communal reading of written texts was a phenomenon documented no earlier than the second century CE. Brian J. Wright overturns that premise by examining evidence that demonstrates communal reading events in the first century.

In this non-fiction departure, Donley makes her somewhat reluctant debut as Hadassah, an end-times prophet with a message from God for modern believers past, present, and future. In this laid-back yet detailed first-person account, Donley details her call to the ministry by God in 2024— with God Himself as her special interview guest.

Her brash, bold brand of spiritual authenticity and urgency, cultivated by a lifelong ...

You probably know the story of St. Paul’s shipwreck. (Acts 28) You remember how the apostle and his companions were exceedingly tossed with a tempest for thirteen days. Neither sun nor stars in many days appeared. All hope that they should be saved was taken away. But do you recollect that when the fourteenth night was come, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country? They sounded and found it twenty fathoms. When they had gone a little further they sounded again and found it fifteen fathoms. Then fearing lest they should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four ...

As the father of a son with special needs, I’ve long been drawn to Jesus’ encounter with a paralytic in Luke 5. When previously pondering this encounter, I always did so from Jesus’ perspective.

When we see a person of great strength and ability but also with a fatal flaw, it’s often said that they have “feet of clay”. Did you know that expression came from the Bible? The heroes of the Bible had great strengths and abilities and were used by the Lord to do wonderful things, but their stories are not preserved for us without including their struggles and failures.

In a day of religious controversy, no one is so useful to his generation as the man who contributes a little “light.” Amidst the din and strife of ecclesiastical warfare, amidst the fog and dust stirred up by excited disputants, amidst assertions and counter-assertions, a thinking man will often cry with the dying philosopher,—“I want more light: give me more light.” He that can make two ears of corn grow where one grew before, has been rightly called a benefactor to mankind. He that can throw a few rays of fresh light on the theological questions of the day, is surely doing a ...
