Many people today think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is not only outdated but irrelevant, irrational, and even immoral. This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible remains profoundly relevant - both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. It is the greatest moral guide and source of wisdom ever written.

Marcellino D'Ambrosio dusts off what might have been just dry theology to bring you the exciting stories of great heroes such as Ambrose, Augustine, Basil, Athanasius, John Chrysostom, and Jerome. These brilliant, embattled, and sometimes eccentric men defined the biblical canon, hammered out the Creed, and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It is they who preserved the rich legacy of the early Church for us.

The most important words ever written are the Ten Commandments. These words changed the world when they were first presented at Mt. Sinai to Israelites, and they are changing it now. They are the foundation stones of Western civilization. Given their staggering importance, you would think that all societies, and certainly our educational and religious institutions, would be intent on studying them closely. Sadly, this is not the case.

As a young Christian man, Matthew Vines harbored the same basic hopes of most young people: to someday share his life with someone, to build a family of his own, to give and receive love. But when he realized he was gay, those hopes were called into question. The Bible, he’d been taught, condemned gay relationships. Feeling the tension between his understanding of the Bible and the reality of his same-sex orientation, Vines devoted years of intensive research into what the Bible says about homosexuality.

We're facing an identity crisis. For decades our culture has tried to blur the lines between men and women, to make gender irrelevant, all in the name of equality. It’s a message that has slowly infiltrated our marriages, our homes, and even our churches. Yet instead of creating harmony, this message has only caused confusion, ultimately leading to a tragic breakdown of relationships and families. Divine Design calls us back to God’s original intent for men and women.

Christians who want to know more about the Jewish roots of Christianity need to understand the Torah, as do followers of Islamic tradition and those interested in the roots of Abrahamic faiths.

San Bernardino was the most lethal terror attack on American soil since 9/11, and it came on the heels of a coordinated assault on Paris. There is no question that innocents were slaughtered in the name of Allah. But do the terrorists' actions actually reflect Islam? The answer to this question is more pressing than ever, as many Muslim refugees are still migrating to the West, seeking shelter from the violent ideologies of ISIS, Al-Qaida, and other radical Islamic groups. In Answering Jihad, Nabeel Qureshi answers these urgent questions from the perspective of a former Muslim.

Publisher's summary
Islam, one of the Abrahamic faiths, originated in the seventh century, following the first revelation of the Holy Quran from Allah (God) to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He was the last of messengers who brought the final words of Allah to humanity.
Islam encompasses six articles of faith and five pillars, both of which allow Muslims to cultivate their relationship with Allah. The holy Quran is the most important sacred scripture among them. Its message promotes a comprehensive way of life that stands for "peace through submission to Allah". The belief in one God is what differentiates Islam from many of the pre-Islamic religion in Arabia. Nevertheless, worship is not limited to completing this primary act.
Islam also encourages spreading compassion and justice in society; a simple gesture of generosity or empathy is also a form of adoration. Furthermore, Islam offers guidance on many other matters of life, including diet, dressing, business, legal issues, and marriages, etc.
This book provides listeners with a concise and straightforward explanation of what Islam is, its origins, and the core components and principle under which it was founded. They will go through the historical and sociological concerns of the religion while tackling important questions: What is Islam? How did it begin? Who is a Muslim and what makes up faith for them?
But why this book? I wrote this piece because there are still many people who have no knowledge about Islam and are puzzled by the countless works that exist about the subject. It is meant to be a starting point, the introduction to Islam from a holistic but simple approach. That's said, the book's main goal is for listeners to achieve a better understanding of the nature and key concepts of this religion. In this sense, it explains the central theme of Islam.
I hope that after listening to this book, listeners can appreciate Islam and approach Muslims more adequately.

Story
Paul is second only to Jesus as the most important person in the birth of Christianity, and yet he continues to be controversial, even among Christians. How could the letters of Paul be used both to inspire radical grace and to endorse systems of oppression - condoning slavery, subordinating women, condemning homosexual behavior? Borg and Crossan use the best of biblical and historical scholarship to explain the reasons for Paul's mixed reputation and reveal to us what scholars have known for decades: The later letters of Paul were created by the early church to dilute Paul's message.

Story
The Old Testament is one of the most carefully studied books in the world’s history. It is also one of the most misunderstood. This founding text of the world’s three largest religions is also, Erich Fromm argues, an impressive radical humanist text. He sees the stories of mankind’s transition from divided clans to united brotherhood as a tribute to the human power to overcome. Filled with hopeful symbolism, You Shall Be as Gods shows how the Old Testament and its tradition is an inspiring ode to human potential.
