Everyone wants to belong. But what does belonging—to God, ourselves, and each other—look like in the context of living within an empire and its ideologies? In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American writer Kat Armas explores this question both for the New Testament church and for us today. Armas gives listeners a sense of hope and belonging in their daily lives—belonging to ourselves, God, each other, and the earth—in ways that resist the lies of empire. Each chapter begins with a brief liturgy.

Historians have extensively studied the Old and New Testaments and used the scriptures to trace the rise of one of the world's earliest civilisations. Although it's difficult to confirm the stories in the Bible from a historical perspective, it's possible that myths originated from real events. This is why geologists are investigating the truth about the Flood and Noah's Ark, meteorologists and biologists are trying to understand the ten plagues that affected Egypt, and biblical scholars are searching for evidence of catastrophes that might have destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

In Reading the Bible, Dr. Bill Creasy takes you on an extraordinary adventure through the entire Bible, introducing you to unforgettable characters, gripping drama, uproarious comedy, and profound tragedy, all the while examining the literary genres and rhetorical strategies that make the Bible the greatest story ever told.

The Lord's Prayer is the most iconic and widely spoken prayer in human history. It's not only a sacred prayer, but the very essence of the Bible's message. Yet, familiarity often dulls the power of this profound prayer, leaving its deep meaning untapped and unlived. Every single phrase of the Lord's Prayer is loaded with revolutionary significance for Jesus' original audience—and for us. In this book, Brad Gray and Brad Nelson draw on decades of research to unpack these words in their original historical and cultural context, revealing the bold truths that can still shake our lives today.

Ask of Old Paths, by Grace Hamman meditates upon strange and wonderful word-pictures and explanations of virtues and vices found in medieval traditions of poetry, sermons, and treatises long confined to dusty corners of the library. It focuses on the ancient tradition of virtue language called the Seven Capital Vices and their Virtue Remedies: pride and humility, envy and love, wrath and meekness, avarice and mercy, sloth and perseverance, gluttony and abstinence, lust and chastity.

Redeeming Eden stands out by highlighting the often overlooked but significant role of women in shaping redemptive history. It weaves together a cohesive narrative that demonstrates how women, despite being frequently undervalued in Ancient Near Eastern cultures, courageously initiate and advance key movements in Scripture. From Eve, who anticipates God's redemption, to Tamar, whose boldness transforms Judah, Rahab, who saves the two spies, and many others, each chapter builds upon the next to reveal a comprehensive storyline.

Die Geschichte von Evas Apfel, die Mauer von Jericho oder die heiligen drei Könige kennt jedes Kind. Aber wussten Sie, dass Eva gar keinen Apfel gegessen hat, die Mauern von Jericho nie tatsächlich einstürzten und von drei heiligen Königen in der Bibel gar nichts steht? Der Bibelwissenschaftler Simone Paganini räumt auf mit uralten Mythen rund um altbekannte Bibelgeschichten. Mit spannenden Erkenntnissen aus dem Bereich der Bibelwissenschaften, Archäologie und Kulturgeschichte nimmt er seine Leser mit in die Welt der Bibel und erzählt, was wirklich hinter den Bibelgeschichten steckt.

En el siglo veinte, el evangelio de Jesucristo y los ideales utópicos marxistas se enfrentaron. Hoy, estas ideas se funden en un nuevo y confuso sistema de creencias. Esa mezcla orienta a la sociedad hacia una mentalidad mafiosa y deconstruye a la iglesia. Debemos oponernos a este falso evangelio y proteger las verdaderas enseñanzas de Jesucristo.

This is a book about reading the Greco-Roman classics as Christians—the why, the how, and to a lesser extent, the when. This exercise, equal parts intellectual and spiritual, is timely. Just as our bodies are what we eat, so are our minds what we consume. The past few years have seen the appearance of books on the value of literature in nourishing our minds and souls—developing the practice of reading not just the Bible but all that we read for spiritual formation. Most such books have focused largely on medieval and modern literature, involving antiquity only occasionally.
