For the last 150 years, both popular and academic views have asserted that Jesus spoke Aramaic as his primary language of communication since supposedly Hebrew died out after the children of Israel were taken into Babylonian captivity. This view, however, is not based on the testimony of the Old Testament, the New Testament, historical sources, or Jesus' actual words. Just which language did Jesus and his disciples speak?

For many years, Michael Phillips assumed he clearly understood the life of Jesus. Though Jesus was in truth his Savior, and even his Lord, Phillips felt challenged to understand more of the remarkable life lived 2,000 years ago in Palestine. Then came a crisis in his spiritual pilgrimage. Challenged to discover the New Testament imperative for his life, Phillips takes a fresh look at the Bible to find out what is the essence, the foundation, of spirituality. He discovers a key that gives validity to an entire life's purpose as a Christian. And that key to Jesus' life was obedience.

Ruthless tyrant, nervous diplomat, victim of circumstance, or something else? The figure of Pontius Pilate has puzzled Bible readers for centuries. Simon Webb's new book takes a fresh look at our sources of information on Pilate, in the New Testament and beyond, and assesses what modern archaeology and historical research can tell us about the man who crucified Jesus.

In this bold and hopeful book, theologian Daniel C. Maguire writes that traditional, supernatural aspects of Christianity can be comforting but are increasingly questionable. A century of scholarly research has not been supportive of the dogmatic triad of personal god, incarnate savior, and life after death. Demonstrating that these beliefs have questionable roots in historical traditions, Maguire argues for a return to that brilliant and revolutionary moral epic of the Hebrew and Christian Bible.

This text was not written to show how much better the godly kings were than the ungodly kings. It was not written to try to show that God had loved the children of Israel more than the people of all of the other nations. To the contrary, this text was written to show that, in some instances, the godly kings did some things that were just as bad as any of the ungodly kings of Israel. It was written to show that the Lord loved the people who opposed the children of Israel just like He loved the children of Israel. The notion that He had showed special favor to one type of people over another ...

El Evangelio de Juan no solo contiene muchos pasajes sin equivalente en los otros evangelios canónicos, sino que aun los pasajes con cierta similitud son presentados de forma totalmente diversa en cuanto al contenido, al lenguaje, a las expresiones y giros con que predica Jesús de Nazaret y a los lugares de su ministerio.

What happens at the end of our lives and of the course of history? Will God bring about a just and peaceful world? What lies beyond this realm, and what can we know of the beings who dwell there? In Death, the End of History, and Beyond, Greg Carey offers resources for understanding multiple, even conflicting, ways that the Bible imagines these ultimate realities.

Few people understand how the Bible came to be, but the Bible itself clearly reveals the fascinating answer when you understand where to look.

What if your greatest interruption is actually God’s greatest invitation? Before Abraham became the “father of nations,” he was simply a man with a predictable life—until God disrupted it with a call that changed everything. The Life of Abraham explores what it means to step away from comfort and into calling, to walk in faith even when the road ahead is uncertain. This compelling journey through Abraham’s life shows that God often speaks in life’s interruptions—sudden changes, quiet stirrings, or divine nudges that won’t go away. With no roadmap and only a promise to guide ...

It is unclear when this book was written or who wrote it. However, there is speculation to conclude that it might have been written by King Solomon or another descendant within the lines of King David or a figure of authority in his times. There are two distinct voices at play in this book. One belongs to The Teacher, while the other is that of the author of the book. At the beginning of the book, the author begins with repeating the word “hevel,” which roughly translates to mean "meaningless."
