Some good, some benign, but MOSTLY HARMFUL. PRAISE FOR MOSTLY HARMFUL How could anyone outdo the feat of writing Beyond the Crusades?

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament … (Revelation 11:19) The Ark of the Covenant, along with the Mercy Seat positioned atop it, is the most mysterious of the furniture items within the Tabernacle of Moses. This is especially true in regards to the cherubim that were mounted on the two ends of the Mercy Seat. There is also the matter of the Arks contents and its ministry on the annual Day of Atonement. In this 6th addition to The Tabernacle Series, Isaac B. Dargan takes on the task of explaining the spiritual implications ...

In this book, Elwood examines the person and the life of Jesus and its relevance to our daily lives and to our relationships. Starting with the virgin birth, he examines the evidence in the story by Mary that her conception and pregnancy were unique and are consistent with the person of Jesus having a human and a divine origin. He then examines the life and teaching of Jesus and shows how this can enrich and give purpose to the lives of those who follow Jesus.

In this book I want to present the importance of water baptism according to the Bible. This is a very important subject and we need to look at the biblical evidence so we can be sure we have this right. I'll start by addressing the most popular arguments against water baptism for salvation. I have no doubt that you will find the truth at the end of this book. Some common beliefs about baptism are "its symbolic" or "is the first act of obedience". Well, both of those are not only wrong but there's not one single Bible verse that supports those ideas

The Book of Days sheds new light on a lost chapter of biblical history by connecting the 5,500-year genealogy from Adam to Christ, found in The Septuagint Bible, with The Great Five and a Half Day prophecy so prevalent in parabiblical literature. If this can be adequately accomplished, then it is my hope they will never again stand apart and so will finally be seen in the context that the God of The Bible originally intended for them.

The Abrahamic Covenant is one of the most foundational elements in the biblical narrative, forming the bedrock upon which the entire redemptive plan of God is built. It is a covenant that God made with Abraham, the patriarch of Israel, which not only shaped the history and identity of the Jewish people but also laid the groundwork for the coming of Jesus Christ, through whom the covenant finds its ultimate fulfillment. Understanding the Abrahamic Covenant and its completion in Christ is crucial for grasping the continuity and unity of the Bible, as well as the overarching story of God’s ...

Despite the commonly held assumption that the Bible says little about the mother of Jesus, there are many indications that Mary preceded and inspired her son in fostering the emergence of a new faith community. Setting aside presuppositions, Chris Maunder returns to the New Testament to answer the question: "Who was Mary?" He re-examines the virgin conception of Jesus, Mary's contribution to Jesus' ministry, and her central role in the events of the crucifixion and the resurrection. In so doing, Maunder casts a thought-provoking new light on Mary and the women who stood alongside her.
