The book lays bare the lives of humanity’s forefathers and reveals ancient history through a contemporary experience. If you’ve always wanted to read the Bible and understand it ...

Stephen Mitchell’s gift is to breathe new life into ancient classics. In Joseph and the Way of Forgiveness, he offers us his riveting novelistic version of the biblical tale in which Jacob’s favorite son is sold into slavery and eventually becomes viceroy of Egypt. Tolstoy called it the most beautiful story in the world. What’s new here is the lyrical, witty, vivid prose, informed by a wisdom that brings fresh insight to this foundational legend of betrayal and all-embracing forgiveness.

Using Open and Relational Theology, Unblaming God presents alternative in- terpretations to four Old Testament stories—Noah and the Flood, God “telling” Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, Canaanite genocide, and the book of Job. These new interpretations better reflect God as love, not as a God of control.

Do you ever wonder about lives in other planets? If you did, don’t worry about it. Such thoughts are beautiful. You are a special kind of smarts. Efficient and wondering minds almost always were/are the creative minds. When you think out of the box, it is because you want to learn and create. You are being inquisitive—a trait reserved—for smart folks. If you were criticized for such thoughts as being overly too smart, look at those doing the bad criticism as being overly too unable to think outside the box. But you must give them some respect. Being very smart is a gift. And the not ...

The books of the Bible were written at different times by different authors over a period of approximately 1,500 years from around 1400 BC through 90 AD. The Old Testament was written in Biblical Hebrew, excluding the books written during "the Chaldean captivity" such as Daniel and Ezra which were written in "Biblical Aramaic" during the "Chaldean captivity". Many of the books of the Old Testament bear the names of the prophets who authored them.

Walter Brueggemann is one of the most highly regarded Old Testament scholars of our time; talk-show host Krista Tippett has even called him "a kind of theological rock star." In this new book Brueggemann incisively probes our society-in-crisis from the ground up. Pointing out striking correlations between the catastrophe of 9/11 and the destruction of ancient Jerusalem, Brueggemann shows how the prophetic biblical response to that crisis was truth-telling in the face of ideology, grief in the face of denial, and hope in the face of despair.

Prepared to be awed by our God. The books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Malachi are viewed by Biblical scholars as the Minor Prophets. Yet the insights and messages contained within these books are anything but minor. These prophets offer a unique, firsthand view of an all-powerful God who longs to intimately connect with His people. This study examines their personal stories to discover how He interacts with our world in truly amazing ways.

Are we hapless victims of life's whims? Are we driven along by some blind and impersonal force? A thousand times, "No!" says pastor and author Alistair Begg. Instead, Begg says we are the objects of God's providential care. We reside under his guiding and protecting hand. In this richly textured study of Joseph's life, listeners will discover God at work shaping Joseph's circumstances so that he can ultimately redeem and reconcile his family. And they'll see the hand of God in their own lives, lovingly guiding them through their disappointments and struggles to a place of peace.

On the third day, God planted the garden in the east of the earth, on the border of the world eastward, beyond which, towards the sunrising, one finds nothing but water, that encompasses the whole world, and reaches to the borders of heaven.

Stories live beyond generations. It is, in part, for that reason that the Almighty has created an enormous library of stories specifically selected and edited by inspired prophets—a library called the Holy Scriptures. For thousands of years the children of God have studied and applied those same stories to their own lives.

Psalms speak to us as they express an array of human emotions — joy, fear, gratitude, rage, hope, and more. Yet, much of this is lost in most translations because: Few English speakers understand or can even read the original Hebrew. Nuances and poetry in the Hebrew words of Psalms are difficult to translate. Psalms often refer to people, places, events, and practices unknown to us today. The translator's word choice sometimes infers meanings not intended in the Hebrew.So, we lose much of the emotion that tugs at the heart every bit as much as it calls to the intellect. Much of Psalms is ...

The Old Testament is not merely a collection of ancient writings; it is the heartbeat of history, the foundation of faith, and the unshakable framework upon which the world’s moral, spiritual, and cultural fabric has been woven. It is a saga of triumphs and tragedies, a testament to divine promises and human frailty. In its pages, we encounter the raw power of creation, the depths of human rebellion, and the unyielding grace of a God who remains faithful despite our failings.

At various points in Israel's history, God dwelt in specific, significant places, most notably in the tabernacle and the temple. These structures, meticulously planned, extravagantly furnished, and regularly frequented by the devout, were more than just places of worship and sacrifice. They were pictures of God's relationship with his chosen people and of the atoning work that would be done by the Messiah. To understand the tabernacle and the temple, then, is to understand how we are brought into God's family through the sacrifice of his only son, Jesus.
