Study Commentaries

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.

Read how God has revealed himself to this person and the message is for everyone to hear. You will read about where we actually get created and what becomes of each and every one of us, as well as what the Bible says is going to happen to the earth. This book will be hard to put away. You will sense the Holy Spirit in the writing but from one down-to- earth man. Sensitive to a world that has both believers and non-believers where scientists are constantly commenting on TV about how the earth is made and the universe. They never give God any credit nor do they seem to think any God could have created it all.

The year was AD 67; persecution was rampant and false teachers saturated the church. Many believers no longer desired to hear sound doctrine and, therefore, heaped up teachers to simply itch their ears (2 Tim 4:2-4). Timothy, a pastor in the church of Ephesus, most likely, was discouraged (1:7, 2:1). With some of his last words, Paul writes from prison to encourage his disciple, Timothy, to complete his ministry (4:5). He commands him to be like a good soldier (2:3-4), a victorious athlete (2:5), and a hardworking farmer (2:6). Above all, Timothy needed to stay faithful to Scripture: he was...

This guide is intended to help those who are learning about the historical context of the New Testament, its authors, and their audiences. Every book of the New Testament is explored with those context points as well as commentary. For those of you who are new to Christianity, I expect this guide to help you grow in your faith. The realization that most of the New Testament was written to an audience of “new” Christians will help it become more personal to you. For those of you who are Christians since youth, I hope that this guide serves to pull you back into the Bible, to revisit its ...

Disclaimer: Previously published by the author under the title of Understanding Genesis 1-11, From Adam to Abraham The narrative of humanity begins with creation—an expression of divine purpose, beauty, and intent. From the origin of life to human history, we see a consistent theme of relationship, promise, and redemption. This progression from creation to covenant transcends mere historical or theological accounts; it embodies God’s engagement with His people. Dr. Andrew Koh explores a major biblical theme, connecting the creation of the world to the sacred promises that shape our ...

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.

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...

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.

El reino de los cielos es un ítem principal en la Biblia, y a fin de entenderlo, debemos prestar atención al Evangelio de Mateo. En los capítulos del 5 al 7 de Mateo, el Señor explicó el reino de los cielos.

If you've ever wondered why the Bible is full of so many apparent contradictions, you're not alone. If you're afraid you might betray the God of the Bible if you question centuries-old traditions, you won't, as long as you let scripture speak for itself. To that end, Fish Tales (From the Belly of the Whale) plunges you headlong into an unrelenting search for biblical truth that will forever change how you think about the word of God.

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.

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.

Historicism is the method of interpretation that actually developed out of the Protestant Reformation, which is the reason why, to quote one critic, the “view was so widely held, that for a long time it was called the Protestant view”. That alone should pique interest to a deeper study of the view.

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.
