This volume represents one of my favorite career challenges: creating this radio adventure for the Voice of Prophecy ministry. Our broadcast team always envisioned the national audience reached by our scripts: thoughtful Christians and seekers longing for a better life empowered by the gospel. Paul’s epistle to the Philippians is among the richest of scriptural gifts to the world! Believers everywhere have been encouraged by his exhortation: “I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me.

La traducción al latín de la obra de Maimónides "Moreh Nevukhim" (Guía para Perplejos) es considerada la obra judía más influyente de los últimos milenios. Marcó el inicio de la escolástica, un movimiento nutrido por pensadores judíos. Impresa por la primera imprenta mecánica de Gutenberg, su influencia se extendió hasta el Quinto Concilio de Letrán (1512-1517), donde se instó a los eruditos a reconciliar la teología y la filosofía. La Guía revolucionó el currículo escolar al reintegrar las leyes del pensamiento en el ámbito de la fe, influyendo en el principio de razón suficiente de Leibniz.

The topic of Israel's scattered tribes is a prominent theme in scripture that most biblical scholars and students don't recognize. This short article highlights a few of the iconic chapters about the Lost Tribes of Israel and the messianic verses enbedded within.

Tired of religion? What if almost everything you were taught about Christianity is wrong? Would you give up on faith altogether? Or is it possible to rediscover - with fresh eyes - a richer and more satisfying understanding of God and spirituality? So You Thought You Knew is a refreshing journey written straight from the heart. It's about thinking outside the "institutional walls" of Christianity and asking the hard questions.

This College textbook is informative, stimulating, practical, contextual, and easily readable. It sparks students’ interest in studying the Catholic social teaching; it leads them to a more mature understanding of committed social engagement with the poor; it directs them to the discovery of the hidden Christ who “emptied himself and took the form of a slave” (Phil. 2:7); it connects or integrates their academic professional subjects and non-academic subjects to their Christian Faith; and it accompanies them to a committed and responsible engagement with labor and ecology. The ...

In his gospel, the Apostle John had recorded eight occasions when Jesus had made metaphorical statements about Himself. In chapter one of this text however, the evidence to show that he had actually written the gospel by his name will first be presented. One should note from that discussion that this gospel has not always had his name associated with it. So there had initially been some room for doubt. One should also understand that not everyone agrees about when this gospel was written. So that will also be a matter for discussion. Finally, chapter one will also consider some of the very ...

Indulgences are rarely understood and, therefore, ignored by most Catholics today—even by many clergy. Most no longer understand what they are nor do they understand how they can help us, the Poor Souls—and how they can fit into a healthy spiritual life.

"The Romance of Missionary Heroism" unites travelogues, ethnographies and biographies in the form of accounts of the experiences of Christian missionaries worldwide

The New Testament unequivocally presents the Trinity as comprising the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—three distinct yet coequal persons who share an unbreakable bond of divine essence. In this intricate interplay, each person of the Trinity maintains their uniqueness while harmoniously embodying the entirety of God's nature. Delving into the personhood of the Holy Spirit invites us on a profound expedition, a journey into the heart of God's character and His intricately woven involvement in the lives of those who believe. By delving deeper into sacred texts and traversing the ...

Have you loved God your whole life but also had a lurking fear in you about hell? What Did Jesus Say About Hell? can take that fear away from you forever, simply by guiding you through Jesus’ words in the Gospels on the matter and the essential context he drew from in the Old Testament, all in an easy listen. Once you learn for yourself what Jesus actually said, and did not say, it will change the way you think about hell forever.

In the Bible, the Apostle John twice says that "God is Love." Nowhere else do we find those precise words. Most people assume that simply means that God loves us. After all, the Bible says that in other places. But, while it is true that God loves us, this book suggests that John did not just mean that. It suggests that John's meaning might go well beyond that. Is it possible that John meant that God actually IS Love? That God is the ENTITY of Love? This book suggests that may indeed be what John meant.

What we believe about God has an impact on how we live. It will shape how we raise our children, treat our spouses, deal with strangers, engage with coworkers, and carry out our ministry to the Lord and others. Therefore, this study is extremely significant. We believe that after completing this study, you will love God and your Bible even more, and that while you will continue to fear (reverence/worship) God, you will no longer be afraid of Him because you will realize that He is a loving God who is exactly like Jesus. And you will yearn to be just like Him.

True Christians have been persecuted throughout the Church Age, and in some parts of the world continue in great trials. But the Savior is always there providing comfort and strength. No marvel, for Christ warned his followers that this would happen. Here, in Martyr of the Catacombs, we get a glimpse of the heinous persecutions in Ancient Rome and look inside the lives of those Christians whose very lives depended upon the place of refuge beneath the city of Rome.

How did our forebears begin to think about religion as a distinct domain, separate from other activities that were once inseparable from it? Starting at the birth of Christianity - a religion inextricably bound to Western thought - Jack Miles reveals how the West's "common sense" understanding of religion emerged and then changed as insular Europe discovered the rest of the world. Finally, in a moving postscript, he shows how this very story continues today in the minds and hearts of individual religious or irreligious men and women.

When will Jesus return? Are there signs in the Bible that tell us? There are hundreds of books written about prophecy and the signs of the times showing that we are in the end times because of something the author interpreted from the Bible. The problem with signs of the end times is that there is nothing in the Bible to back up what they say. The opposite is true, Jesus said we will not know when he will return, he will come like a thief in the night, so we need to be ready all the time. There are many Bible prophecies that have come true and many more that will come true. God has given us...

An eighteenth century Scottish poet wrote concerning war: "Rash, fruitless war, from wanton glory waged, is only splendid murder." An older preacher used this quotation when he wrote concerning a particularly brutal doctrinal attack on another elderly preacher by a group of younger, treacherous preachers. While many controversies among Christians and churches aren't this vicious, many Christians and congregations simply don't know how to navigate personal and doctrinal clashes; and thus, do more harm than good. Such situations expose some noble and naïve souls to some pretty treacherous ...

The central energizing question driving the present study is to arrive at some kind of reasonable conclusions about the extent to which Ecclesiastes constitutes an enigma or an unknowable mystery in terms of its overall meaning. A great deal of contemporary biblical scholarship posits that it is extremely difficult if not impossible to know what the writer of Ecclesiastes was really thinking or what were the central motives and, therefore, it is essentially impossible to understand with confidence to any degree of certitude. Given that Ecclesiastes is so summarily perplexing in such ...

¡UNA DE LAS OBRAS MÁS IMPORTANTES DE LA TEOLOGÍA! Publicado por primera vez en 1700, El Servicio Razonable del Cristiano (5 vols.) tuvo veinte ediciones holandesas sólo en el siglo XVIII. El título se deriva de Romanos 12:1, “Os ruego, pues, hermanos, por la misericordia de Dios, que presentéis vuestros cuerpos en sacrificio vivo, santo, agradable a Dios, que es vuestro culto racional.” Expresa lo que Dios requiere del hombre, y particularmente del cristiano, que le sirva en espíritu y en verdad, de manera inteligente, racional y en armonía y respuesta a la revelación que Dios ...

In 1520, Martin Luther debated Catholic theologian Johann Eck in Leipzig - and lost. After the debate, the pope threatened Luther with excommunication. He responded by writing this address to the German nobility, urging them to consider his reforms for the church. He argues that the Catholic church abuses undue power, and asks, “If we rightly hang thieves and behead robbers, why do we leave the greed of Rome unpunished?”
