First Testament

What if Jesus Himself walked you through forty years of wilderness? After the tabernacle was built. After the sacrificial system was taught. After everything Israel needed to know was delivered at the foot of Sinai. They knew everything. And almost none of it was enough. In Numbers with Jesus, Christ narrates the brutal, beautiful stretch of ground between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Through His voice — intimate, unflinching, and full of a grief that only God can carry — Jesus walks you through the book the church rushes past to get to the Promised Land. This is not a ...

At times this masks the distance between the New Testament text and modern audiences. Scripture continues to speak to us but it speaks as an ancient text to the modern world. New Testament scholar Scot McKnight offers a translation of the New Testament with a daring approach to the ancient text. Clever in its expression and at times stunning in its boldness, The Second Testament will challenge listeners to experience God's Word anew.

The book lays bare the lives of humanity’s forefathers and reveals ancient history through a contemporary experience.

David Bentley Hart undertook this new translation of the New Testament in the spirit of "etsi doctrina non daretur", "as if doctrine is not given". Reproducing the texts' often fragmentary formulations without augmentation or correction, he has produced a pitilessly literal translation, one that captures the texts' impenetrability and unfinished quality while awakening listeners to an uncanniness that often lies hidden beneath doctrinal layers.

Andrews examines the writings of Flavius Josephus, the first-century priest, general, and historian whose works preserve invaluable accounts of Judea, Rome, and the key figures who shaped biblical history.

What if Jesus Himself walked you through the most misunderstood book in the Bible — and showed you it was never about the end of the world, but the unveiling of His face? After the manger. After the miracles. After the cross. There is a throne — and a Lamb standing in the center of it as though He had been slain, holding a scroll that no one in heaven or earth could open. Until He did. In Revelation with Jesus, the final book of Scripture is retold through the voice of Christ — the Alpha and Omega who dictated the vision, who walks among the seven lampstands, and who rides out of an ...
