Study Commentaries

For C. S. Lewis, reason and logic are the sensible way to approach faith and ethics. Much of the 20th century's ills are caused by ill-founded beliefs and opinions. Lewis' original approach remains as vital today as ever. He is able to take the most convoluted subject, turn it side on and shed bright illumination on it. To be able to see along things rather than at them - just like a beam of sunlight that invades the darkness of a toolshed - is, to Lewis, the way to understanding.

I can think of no greater privilege than to bring to light the incredible works of a great American mystic, Neville Goddard, a prolific author, teacher, and a true man of God. Over his 40 years of teaching he left behind a legacy of printed material that rivals most metaphysical authors. It would be impossible to over-estimate the spiritual value of the teachings he left behind. He not only published 10 books, but he also left us over 300 printed lectures during his lifetime.

On The Way serves as a companion on a journey through the ancient texts of the Old Testament.

Plus l'Humanité se raffine et se complique, plus les chances de désordre se multiplient et leur gravité s'accentue ; car on n'élève pas de montagne sans creuser des abîmes, et toute énergie est également puissance pour le bien et pour le mal. Tout ce qui devient souffre et pèche. La vérité sur notre attitude en ce monde, c'est que nous y sommes en croix.

Studies in the book of Colossians (Pauline Epistles Series Book One) is one of “a verse by verse analytical study series" and is written to combat errors in the Church and show that believers have everything they need in Christ. …Be heavenly minded…think on things above… However we should not be so heavenly minded that we are of no earthly use nor so earthly minded that we miss our heavenly goal. Studies in the book of Colossians is a book of connections, a book of an embattled Church, a book of timeless truth. A book that presents Christ as the head, power source, the redeemer, the...

Take a wild but eye-opening ride through the pages of the Bible and learn the stories they don’t teach in Sunday school. In his latest work, Paul Kasch is not afraid to offer sound commentary on the R-rated and X-rated content found in the scriptures. It is, after all, part of God’s Word. You will come away from these Bible lessons for adults spiritually charged, understanding that God did not always use perfect people to accomplish His will. That means he can even use the likes of you and me. A bit of warning, however: You might be absolutely blown away by the stories of some of the ...

Può sembrare incredibile ma nella Bibbia, quando Dio sceglie una persona per affidarle una missione, si tratta quasi sempre della persona più sbagliata che si possa immaginare. Ordina a una coppia anziana e sterile di generare un popolo, chiama a sé un balbuziente perché diventi oratore e profeta, mette giustizia e verità nelle mani di ladroni e prostitute. Le figure più venerabili dell'Antico Testamento, come Abramo, Mosè, Davide e Salomone, sono in realtà segnate da una moltitudine di colpe, destinate a coprirsi di ridicolo.

Author Suzanne R. Buerer saw a pattern throughout the Bible showing that the animals are very caught up in the affairs of mankind, carried along with humans in the Fall, in punishments, in blessings, AND in restoration. The author found that animals have the breath of the spirit of life which comes from God, and one book even discusses the spirit of the animal. The author shows how the Bible emphasizes that God is very involved with His animals—He knows them, He talks about them (in more than one book), they cry out to Him, and He feeds and saves them.

Il Cristianesimo come fatto mistico rappresenta una tappa nel cammino dell'evoluzione umana, mentre i processi dei Misteri e gli effetti che ne conseguirono sono la preparazione di questo fatto mistico. Il Cristianesimo, secondo Steiner, trasse il contenuto dei Misteri dall'oscurità dei Templi alla chiara luce del giorno.

The beginning of the modern contraceptive era began in 1882, when Dr. Aletta Jacobs opened the first birth control clinic in Amsterdam. The founding of this facility, and the clinical provision of contraception that it enabled, marked the moment when physicians started to take the prevention of pregnancy seriously as a medical concern. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Donna Drucker traces the history of modern contraception, outlining the development, manufacturing, and use of contraceptive methods from the opening of Dr. Jacobs' clinic to the present.

The King James Bible has often been called ‘the Book of Books’ both in itself and in what it stands for. Since its publication in 1611 it has been the best-selling book in the world, and many believe it has had the greatest impact.The King James Bible has spread the Protestant faith. It has also been the greatest influence on the enrichment of the English language and its literature.

God has provided a tactful and solemn weapon for us to use in our daily Christian walk, but we must understand what we have and how to use it. In Making the Most Use of Your Bible, Dr. Ricardo Holloway has provided brief summaries and scripture examples for each book of the Bible, an explanation of the intertestamental books, and book reference charts for the Old and New Testaments.

What would Jesus read? Ever heard of the Book of Ahikar? It is an ancient Hebrew legend replete with proverbs, which is explicitly referenced in Tobit, and is also alluded to in Sirach and by Jesus and the Apostles in the New Testament.

Si l'Église réfléchit depuis déjà longtemps autour de la protection de la nature, jamais un pape ne lui a consacré une encyclique, son mode d'expression le plus solennel. Les mots italiens "Laudato si': Dieu soit loué", qui ouvrent la première encyclique du pape François sont les premiers du "Cantique des créatures", écrit par Saint François d'Assise peu avant sa mort en 1226. Considéré comme l'un des premiers textes de la littérature italienne, le Poverello y célèbre Dieu à travers sa création : frère soleil, sœur lune, frère vent, sœur eau, frère feu, notre mère la terre.

This is an audiobook about living immortals in their own words. Yes - I mean that - people who are hundreds if not thousands of years old are living in our world today. Their commentaries come from a discussion board I have been using for a couple of years to market my earlier book: Physical Immortality: A History and How-To Guide. There are over 12 distinct immortal personalities who posted on this board, and they all have different perspectives on their lives as immortals.

Questions about life, faith, God's purposes, and ours which are asked in the Bible.
