What happened during the four centuries between Malachi and Matthew? For many readers, the Old Testament ends and the New Testament begins with little explanation of what changed in between. Yet the world Jesus entered was profoundly different from the world of the prophets. Synagogues had become central to Jewish life. The Torah had become the defining marker of identity. The Greek language had spread across the Mediterranean. Jewish communities lived throughout the ancient world. Rome ruled Judea. Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes, and apocalyptic movements had emerged. Messianic hope burned ...

Abraham is unquestionably one of the most outstanding and influential figures in world history. He had no political or military achievements, and he left no literary remains, yet today billions of people claim him as their spiritual father.

In this richly detailed account of his life and times, John Lennox helps us to see through mists of the past to the real flesh-and-blood man, with all his strengths and weaknesses, to better appreciate all that Abraham stands for as a model of faith today.

A fresh reading of the Old Testament text in light of the ancient Near Eastern context can open new avenues of awareness.

What happens when God asks one man to speak the truth to a nation that refuses to listen? Jeremiah lived through one of the most dramatic periods in biblical history. Empires were rising and falling.

Called by God while still a young man, Jeremiah was given a mission that would consume his life. He warned kings. Challenged priests. Confronted false prophets. Spoke against injustice. And told his...

There are two gods, not one. And the one who made this world is not the good one. A man is diagnosed with cancer at forty-one. A child dies of meningitis in a single night. An earthquake buries ten thousand people in their sleep. For thousands of years, anyone who believed in a good and all-powerful God has had to carry the weight of one brutal question: if He is good, and He is able, why all of this? The ancient Gnostics answered in a way official history preferred to bury. They did not defend God. They turned the question inside out. What if a good God never made this world at all? What ...

The gospel you were given is not wrong. But it may be missing more than you realize. Most people who grew up in church received a version of the Christian story that begins with Eden and ends with personal salvation. True as far as it goes, but it leaves whole sections of Scripture unexplained. The principalities and powers. The obsession with idolatry. The strange passages about imprisoned angels. The cosmic confrontations Paul treats as central to the gospel. Those passages are not background noise. They are the story.
