Romans is the definitive statement of Christian doctrine - the most comprehensive book in the New Testament. Its impact on history is unequaled. This is the first in a trilogy (Galatians, Hebrews) on Habakkuk 2:4 - "the just shall live by faith" - which later became the mantra of the reformation. It has an international outlook: As a Roman citizen, and with both Hebrew and Greek culture of history, religion, philosophy, poetry, science, music, etc., Paul's Epistle to the Romans is the most profound writing that exists anywhere.

Human life is made up of a series of journeys, and every stage is an experience and purpose in the long history of life’s challenges. But there are two journeys every person must undertake, a physical and a spiritual one; and whilst the physical one is essential there is also need for a spiritual one. The Torah as a guide enables us to attain both ends. To be a Jew is to be on a journey and as a people we have never stood still. Judaism teaches that life is one long journey through time, and each movement and stoppage serves a higher purpose and better future. In his role as rabbi and ...

This 14-episode devotional study of The Lord's Prayer for individual or small group use includes clear bible teaching and practical insight about how this powerful passage defines what it means to be a Christ-follower.

Jesus is the most influential man who ever lived. More has been spoken, written, and sung about him than any other person in history. And yet, as his story makes its way through the filters of time and culture, much has been lost—if not replaced. Can we peal back the layers of religion, politics, and sentimentality to discover Jesus’ true mission and message? Is it possible to shake off our preconceptions and prejudices and simply experience Jesus as his first followers did? Yes. Through the written words of a man named John Mark. The Gospel of Mark is the earliest and shortest of the ...

From a basket in the Nile to the courts of Pharaoh—Moses was born to lead. Before his name echoed through history, Moses was a child marked for death, born under a brutal regime bent on erasing his destiny. Yet, God had other plans. Adopted into Egyptian royalty and raised in the palace of his people’s oppressor, Moses’ life was a divine paradox—royalty on the outside, deliverer on the inside. This compelling biography explores: The miracle of Moses’ survival in a time of genocide His dual identity as both prince and Hebrew The shaping of a leader caught between two worlds God’s...

UNO DE LOS DEBATES MÁS CRUCIALES DE NUESTRO TIEMPO! La Nueva Perspectiva sobre Pablo (NPP), promovida por autores como N.T. Wright, James Dunn y E.P. Sanders, afirma que el entendimiento sobre la justificación de los reformadores y de la iglesia evangélica desde la reforma es erróneo, que han malinterpretado a Pablo y al judaísmo. La NPP clama tener un entendimiento superior y más avanzado sobre el Judaísmo, la literatura y el contexto histórico del Segundo Templo (515 a.C al 70 d.C.), modificando así el entendimiento tradicional de la Imputación, la Justificación, y la ...

As we race towards the end of this age, these Biblical revelations become vital to understand for each believer.

The purpose of this book is to offer you material for your “work, planned exercise and conscious development of the believing, hoping and loving life” as a human being dedicated to God. As Biblical Students we know that what we have imbibed we share with others in our lives and by means of passing on our beliefs to the youth - the future of our Church and our world. In my reflections on the Scripture passages, I use a method known as Lectio divina, (Latin for divine reading, or spiritual reading). It is a traditional Christian practice of scriptural reading and prayer intended both to ...

Everyone knows death is coming. Christians possess the joyful belief of life beyond the grave; however, when the death a doctor is talking about is your own, personal faith cries out for understanding. The impending great adventure provokes our faith in ways that living cannot do. The irony is profound. The Approaching Adventure is a book about heaven. The bible is filled with understandable descriptions, and prophecies about heaven; this book illuminates them. Heaven is a real place not some surreal, mystical dimension. Originally written to encourage a dying friend in hospice, this book ...

The Mosaic Law and other laws like it (found in many Fundamental fellowships) are intended for those who are unregenerate. What we are taught in Romans 12 is fit only for those indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who wills and equips us to do what pleases the Father. While all Scripture is for our edification and benefit, the law of the Old Covenant was for those in that covenant. The Law of Moses does not and never has bound people outside that covenant community. If you are in Christ, there is a better law, fit for a spiritual people. We have a covenant built on better promises, mediated by a ...

This 3rd edition of Divorce and Remarriage includes a chapter on forgiveness and expanded teaching for teachers, deacons, and pastors.

This booklet was written for Christians who need to know what the Bible says about divorce, a no nonsense education using scriptures to answer your questions. Christian ministry, after divorce, is also addressed.

In Practice Resurrection Peterson brings the voice of Scripture — especially Paul’s letter to the Ephesians — and the voice of the contemporary Christian congregation together in understanding what is involved in the practice of becoming mature — growing up to the “stature of Christ.”

James Montgomery Boice challenges believers to follow the first-century church, encouraging them to glean the vital principles that enabled the early church to expand, and then to apply them to our modern-day church.

In his new book, When a Jew Rules the World, Richardson paints a picture of what that 1,000-year reign will be like, along the way blow-torching the notion that gentile Christians have "replaced" the Jews and Israel as the people of promise. Richardson lays out the tragic history of anti-Semitism within the church from the very beginning in what may be the most thorough repudiation of what has become known as "Replacement Theology", or, as Richardson calls it, "Supersessionism".

What was the apostle Paul's relationship to Judaism? How did he view the Jewish law? How did he understand the gospel of Jesus's messiahship relative to both ethnic Jews and gentiles? These remain perennial questions both to New Testament scholars and to all serious Bible readers. Respected New Testament scholar Matthew Thiessen offers an important contribution to this discussion. A Jewish Paul is an accessible introduction that situates Paul clearly within first-century Judaism, not opposed to it.
