"In The Many Faces of Christ religious historian Philip Jenkins refutes our most basic assumptions about the Lost Gospels and the history of Christianity. He reveals that hundreds of alternative gospels were never lost, but survived and in many cases remained influential texts, both outside and within the official Church. We are taught that these alternative scriptures--such as the Gospels of Thomas, Mary, or Judas--represented intoxicating, daring...

What will your eternity look like? What if you learned you were part of an experiment where the next 24 hours would determine the quality of the rest of your life? Everything from the job you hold to the neighborhood and house you live in will be tied to how you navigate a single day. How would you approach those 24 hours? Would you be intentional, or would you leave things to chance and hope for the best? This idea might seem far-fetched, but it...

2017 is the 500th year anniversary of Martin Luther's nailing his Ninety-five Theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, the event marking the beginning of the Reformation-and the end of unified Christianity. For Catholics, it was an unjustified rebellion by the heterodox. For Protestants, it was the release of true and purified Christianity from centuries-old enslavement to corruption, idolatry, and error. So what is the truth about...

South African pastor Andrew Murray and his elder brother, John, studied theology at the University of Utrecht. Both were members of the Het Réveil, a religious revival movement that arose in opposition to theistic rationalism. Murray believed that missionary work was "the chief end of the church". Important to this end is the concept of humility, which he discusses in this work. In his preface he writes "In these meditations I have, for more than...

"Michael Coren has had a profound spiritual and personal change of heart. Epiphany is about how and why that happened; the reaction from both sides of the fence; and how the Christian doctrine, when studied closely and without bias, heartily supports Michael's findings. As a middle-aged, very white, very straight, very Christian man, he was obliged, first reluctantly and then eagerly, to explore the complex dynamic between faith and homosexuality...

With numerous reports, articles and books written about the end of the world, many are concerned about the future. According to the Bible, the end will come at a time when no one expects it. Will it be for all to see, or will it happen at night, when fewer are awake? Can we place a specific date or time on it, or is it going to be random? There are many signs of prophecy that have already been fulfilled to allow us to understand the time is getting...

Description
During a time of crisis and God's intensified dealings with the nations of the earth, our insight into the meaning of events must increase. We must see beyond earthly reality and turn our eyes more towards God in order to gain true understanding. We cannot rely upon insight that comes from man's intelligence and his rational thinking systems, nor can we depend on the narrow function of a prophetic order that is primarily gift based. The prophetic...

Casi todos los grandes artistas han tratado de mostrar la fisonomía de Jesús de Nazaret, han compuesto sinfonías, poemas o relatos.

Sin embargo, no tantos han leído alguna de sus cuatro breves biografías, escritas poco después de su muerte.
El autor presenta una explicación sencilla de la vida de...
