Late Revelations introduces a revolutionary model for understanding the creation of the gospels in the New Testament and beyond. Rather than viewing the gospels as static and finished works published at one time, this book proposes that the initial gospels were "waves" of rolling traditions—stories, teachings, and sayings that evolved within early Christian groups. These traditions were fluid and dynamic, initially lacking the apostolic authorship attributed to them by later generations.

For Christians, the Bible is a book inspired by God. Its eternal words are transmitted across the world by fallible human hands. Following Jesus’s departing instruction to go out into the world, the Bible has been a book in motion from its very beginnings, and every community it has encountered has read, heard, and seen the Bible through its own language and culture. In The Bible, Bruce Gordon tells the astounding story of the Bible’s journey around the globe and across more than two thousand years.

This book examines the origins of the evil creator idea chiefly in light of early Christian biblical interpretations. It is divided into two parts. In Part I, the focus is on the interpretations of Exodus and John. Firstly, ancient Egyptian assimilation of the Jewish god to the evil deity Seth-Typhon is studied to understand its reapplication by Phibionite and Sethian Christians to the Judeo-catholic creator. Secondly, the Christian reception of John 8:44 (understood to refer to the devil's father) is shown to implicate the Judeo-catholic creator in murdering Christ.

From the taking of the holy city of Jerusalem in the 7th century AD by Caliph Umar, to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire following the end of World War I, Christian popes, emperors and kings, and Muslim caliphs and sultans were locked in a 1300-year battle for political, military, ideological, economic and religious supremacy. The House of War offers a wide, sweeping narrative, encompassing the broad historical and religious context of this period, while focussing on some of the key, pivotal sieges and battles, and on the protagonists, political and military.

In the year 1904 a revival like the world has never seen before broke out in Wales. While it started in small, rural communities, the news of God moving in power blazed throughout the whole world and sparked countless other revivals, and continues to have an incredible impact today. Led by the young Evan Roberts, who spent months seeking God for four hours a day, starting a 1 a.m. for revival, an incredible 100,000 people were brought to the feet of Jesus in less than a year.

David Livingstone is primarily known as perhaps the most famous explorer of Africa, but he was so much more than that. He was a missionary and man of God who took the Gospel of Jesus Christ to some of the most dangerous, unreached, and rural places on earth. He faced spears and arrows, countless sicknesses, ferocious animals, and more perils than you or I can imagine. This classic biography, originally published in 1912, tells his story in a powerful way. It doesn’t just share the great adventures of Dr. Livingstone, but it shows the tender, human side of a seemingly superhuman man.
