A name created by translation? And what does the Bible actually say — as opposed to what later tradition assumed?

Most readers encounter the Gospel of Mark already knowing how it ends. They bring Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount, Luke’s birth narrative, and John’s cosmic prologue — and without realizing it, they read those other Gospels into this one. But Mark came first. It is rougher, faster, stranger, and more unsettling than anything that followed. Read on its own terms, without smoothing it over, it asks questions no other Gospel quite answers. Mark’s Gospel Unguarded walks through every literary unit of the earliest Gospel using the lenses that have shaped two thousand years of ...

Was there a woman before Eve? The question does not arise from a single text or a single moment in time. It moves across centuries, reappears in different forms, and is often attributed to writings that never posed it in this way. Between what is written and what later came to be told, a space opens—and it is within that space that legend takes hold. This book traces the emergence and development of this idea through the very texts and traditions that shaped it. It begins in the ancient world, where names associated with night, wilderness, and desolation belonged to the religious and ...

What are angels—and what are they not? For centuries, angels have fascinated the human imagination. They appear in Scripture as radiant messengers, guardians of God’s people, and warriors in His heavenly host.

This book returns to the Bible, the Church Fathers, and the wisdom of history to recover the truth about God’s holy angels. In this comprehensive deep dive, you will discover: The true nature and hierarchy of angels in Scripture The role of angels in the life and ...

In order to awaken to Truth, we have to be exposed to it. Truth is the mortal enemy of tradition. Paganism from the Sumerian culture (Babel) became imprinted on all humanity and scattered around the whole world. The confusion of languages was so powerful and effective, it remains to this day. The imprinted paganism from Babel is present also. Traditions are basically habits, and they behave much like an infection. They cling to the basic building-block of civilization: the family unit, and pass from parents into the children. This book will discuss how pagan traditions transformed into ...

What does it mean to read the plain meaning of the Hebrew Bible? Do the biblical prophets not speak in shrouded phrases? Does the Hebrew Bible not speak in allegory or metaphor at times? Does the simple reading of the text not imply a certain understanding of the historical and cultural context in which it was written? Can we accept the idea of a biblical text that requires an independent tradition to explain and provide the necessary foundation to even read the text in a correct grammatical form? These questions and the related answers cannot, in and of themselves, provide the foundations ...
