In Killing a Messiah, New Testament scholar Adam Winn weaves together stories of historical and fictional characters in a fresh reimagining of the events leading up to Jesus's execution. Based on what we know of the first-century context, Winn's narrative offers compelling explanations for gaps in the Gospel accounts. The social, political, and religious realities of Jesus's world come to life and shed new light on our reading of the biblical texts. In a city full of political entanglements, espionage, and competing interests, the blame for the crucifixion is complex.

The book of Revelation says that half of the world’s population is going to be wiped out. At current numbers, that means three or four billion people will die. Imagine most of the world’s great cities destroyed, their shiny skyscrapers reduced to piles of smouldering rubble. And all this happens in the book of Revelation before we even get to the battle of Armageddon. Before that, Revelation says there is going to be a one-world government headed by Antichrist. No one will be able to buy or sell without having the ‘mark of the beast’ (666) on their right hand or forehead. Those who ...

This is perhaps the most sustained critique of the formal doctrine of Protestantism, Sola Scriptura, from a Latter-day Saint in print that I am aware of. All the "proof-texts" are exegeted carefully, including 1 Cor 4:6, 2 Tim 3:16-17, Rev 22:18-19, Rom 15:4, Acts 17:11, and Isa 8:20. There is also an appendix discussing important patristic-era authors and how they did not function in a way commensurate with the doctrine/practice of Sola Scriptura and the formal sufficiency of the bible (e.g., Irenaeus of Lyons). I also discuss texts and arguments one should *not* use against this doctrine,...

THE CHRONOLOGICAL BOOK OF END TIMES Some will most likely open the first page of this book and say, "Oh no, another book about the end of the world." I can almost imagine the smile on their face as they roll their eyes in unbelief that someone would dare write about the end of the age and destruction of humanity. Especially when it seems we could be on the brink of a global war. The end is going to happen. God’s Word declares it. Key events must occur leading up to that moment we call “The Day of the Lord.” God’s Word also declares this to be true. It is a fact that “What We Don't...

Guigo II the Chartusian (1114 - c. 1193) was the ninth prior of the Grande Chartreuse. His Ladder of Monks is one of the great spiritual classics that has inspired the method of lectio divina –spiritual reading of the Holy Scriptures– since the early Middle Ages. We find its influence, for example, in the reflection of Saint John of the Cross on lectio divina –see: “When God Speaks: Lectio Divina in Saint John of the Cross,” and it provides the key to understanding William of Saint-Thierry’s “On Contemplation.”
