For Christians, Flavius Josephus’ (37 to c. 100 A.D) works are one of the most essential extra-biblical chronicles written in the first century. His Jewish Antiquities are particularly valuable for Christians as a fountain of knowledge about the intertestamental period, from the destruction of Solomon’s temple by Antiochus Epiphanes in 167 B.C. to the Roman procurator Florus in 64 A.D. But Josephus’ writings also take us back in Jewish history to God’s creation of the world, providing interesting sidelights to the Hebrew Scripture narratives from oral testimonies and other ancient, ...

What if every name God reveals about Himself is a lesson in who He is and who He invites you to become? When Moses stood before the burning bush and asked God for His name, he received far more than a label. He received a revelation.

In Leviticus with Jesus, the eternal Word opens the book that most readers skip and reveals it as the beating heart of the gospel. Through His voice — warm, authoritative, and deeply personal — Jesus explains why the Father required blood on the altar, what the priest...
