Letters to the Seven Churches by Jeff Culver isn’t just another commentary on the book of Revelation—it’s a deep, revealing journey into the cultural and historical world behind the text. With clarity and depth, Jeff Culver takes readers beyond the surface, unpacking how Jesus’s words to each of the seven churches were tailored specifically to the cities' reputations, customs, and even their monuments. This is the book that finally answers, “Why did He say that to them?” by reconnecting modern readers to the first-century world that originally heard the message. Rather than ...

Augustine and the Cure of Souls situates Augustine within the ancient philosophical tradition of using words to order emotions. Paul Kolbet uncovers a profound continuity in Augustine's thought, from his earliest prebaptismal writings to his final acts as bishop, revealing a man deeply indebted to the Roman past and yet distinctly Christian. Rather than supplanting his classical learning, Augustine's Christianity reinvigorated precisely those elements of Roman wisdom that he believed were slipping into decadence.

Com base em questionamentos como esses, os autores criaram um dos mais populares cursos da Universidade Yale, em que discutem o sentido da existência humana e como podemos alinhar nossa vida prática com nossos princípios essenciais. O objetivo deste audiolivro é expandir essa discussão, apresentando argumentos e pontos de vista distintos – às vezes até opostos – para refletirmos sobre assuntos como vida e morte, bem e mal, sucesso e fracasso, ética e virtude, justiça e propósito.

I want to make it clear right away that this commentary series is not necessarily for Bible scholars, pastors, or anyone else who is well versed in the Hebrew and Greek of the Bible. Although, I do think they can benefit from it as well. Instead, this commentary series is for everyone else who does not fit into that group of scholars. I wrote this commentary series for those of you who would like to study the Bible with the knowledge of what the significant Hebrew and Greek words mean and how they fit into the context of each verse, chapter, and book that you may be studying. As a pastor ...

How would you describe the Abundant Life? Some would describe it from a financial perspective. Some would describe it from the perspective of power and influence. Some would describe it from the perspective of health and well-being. Jesus said that He came so that we might have life and have it abundantly. He made it clear that the only sure foundation for the Abundant Life is the good, sound theology of the Word of God, Holy Scripture, and a living faith relationship with Him. And the more we know and live that Word, the deeper that relationship with Him, the more abundant life becomes. As...

This book offers a close reading of Romans that treats Paul as a radical political thinker by showing the relationship between Paul's perspective and that of secular political theorists. Turning to both ancient political philosophers (Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero) and contemporary post-Marxists (Agamben, Badiou, Derrida, and Žižek),

The first section summarizes the case laws. The author tenderly illustrates how the law is for our good, and makes clear the difference between the sacrificial laws and those that apply today. The second section vividly shows the practical implications of the law. The examples catch the reader's attention; the author clearly has had much experience discussing God's law. The third section shows that would-be challengers to God's law produce only poison and death. Only God's law can claim to express God's "covenant grace in helping us."

Recently, the Holy Spirit prompted me to write a book about the healing I have received from various sports injuries. I had included a paragraph listing sports injury healing testimonies in my two previous books on healing: "The Bible Promises of Healing 16 Letters to Mom" and "The Bible Promises of Healing Vol II" (available on Amazon and Audible). But when I went back over what was in the two previous books, I realized there was so much there was so much more I'd have to share so that others could receive the same healing for their injuries. God is a healer. He heals not only sickness, ...

Why do Christian groups hold conflicting beliefs? What’s a reliable resource to guide you through conflicting ideas, worldviews, and denominationalism? Look no further. The Bible vs. Theology not only addresses whether theology replaces the Bible, but also challenges misconceptions about unity, diversity, and divisions among Christian movements.

The Revelation has long been a source of mystery to Christian and non Christian alike. Thought by many to be a prophecy concerning the end of the world, The Revelation stirs the emotions of all who read it. But has this cryptic book been properly understood? Is it a prophecy of doom or is it a prophecy of hope - or both? Now for the first time in modern history, the message of The Revelation has been made clear. Agree or disagree with the interpretation of Pastor and writer D. Eric Williams, but be sure that upon reading this explanatory rendering of The Revelation, your understanding of ...

The central energizing question driving the present study is to arrive at some kind of reasonable conclusions about the extent to which Ecclesiastes constitutes an enigma or an unknowable mystery in terms of its overall meaning. A great deal of contemporary biblical scholarship posits that it is extremely difficult if not impossible to know what the writer of Ecclesiastes was really thinking or what were the central motives and, therefore, it is essentially impossible to understand with confidence to any degree of certitude. Given that Ecclesiastes is so summarily perplexing in such ...

In December 1967, my life was in more trouble than I could realistically handle. While in the midst of those struggles, I asked the Lord to forgive me for all the wrong that I had done and to put my life on a path that would lead me out of my difficulties. More than fifty years later, I can now say that He was faithful to do exactly that. He changed me from the inside out. Then He changed the dreadful circumstances of my entire life. Since that night in 1967, I have experienced the joy of knowing the God of the universe and the one and only Creator of everything. Through the years, I have ...

Much can be (and has been) written and said about Church Growth, and the Church Assimilation processes. My intention, in this book, is not to overwhelm you with the details of either of these two topics, but, rather, to give you a basic, workable, strategy that you will be able to build upon and customize to your own church, and culture. Church Growth is certainly important; especially to the heart of God. Nevertheless, if most of the people coming in your “front door” are very soon afterwards exiting through your “back door”, there will be very little, if any, church growth (more ...
