Hebrews Study

What if an angel hadn't stopped Abraham from sacrificing his son Isaac? What does Genesis seem to be telling us about taking revenge? Or what is it saying about capital punishment? Drawing on biblical commentary from throughout the ages, Alan Dershowitz shines a brilliant legal light on the stories that comprise the foundation of our society.

Marriage in the Bible is a fundamental theme that reflects the relationship between humanity and the divine, serving as a cornerstone of societal structure and spiritual symbolism. Throughout the scriptures, marriage is portrayed not merely as a social contract but as a sacred covenant established by God. This divine ordinance is evident from the very beginning, with the creation of Adam and Eve, where the union of man and woman is presented as a foundational aspect of human existence. This early biblical narrative establishes marriage as an institution designed for companionship, ...

Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 7 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explains how Egyptian wisdom–which greatly concerns itself with matters of the womb and birth, water, and the offspring of gods–was appropriated by the Hebrew holy books, and explains how the Hebrew account of creation is a clear repetition of Egyptian mythology.

Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to RAK CHAZAK and learn about the ancient Hebrew battle cry that the book is named after.

Many evangelical Christians have been taught that the Rapture could happen at any time. All those who died in Christ would be resurrected and given a new body. But the lucky ones are those who will be alive when Jesus returns, and they will be caught up from Earth to meet Him in the air. They would never have to face the horrors of death. Their bodies will be instantly transformed, and they will be taken to enjoy the marriage supper of the Lamb. Unfortunately, many who believed and taught this Divine Hope have since “gone on to glory” without fulfilling their dream of being raptured. Or...

Enduring faith in the God of the Word brings glory to God, no matter if the outcome is what we had hoped for or not. You know there are those who look at faith as a kind of currency. Believe and receive is a popular concept today among many, who view faith as their penny to put into God’s gumball machine. All they have to do to claim the prize, is to use their penny of faith and turn the handle by confessing their sincerity. That is not Biblical enduring faith. Biblical enduring faith waits patiently when life’s circumstances don’t match up to expectations, and looks to a future hope ...

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery, masters could beat their slaves, creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt, and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

האם החיים הם הבלים וסבל או אושר עילאי ? האם ישנה משמעות למעשינו תחת השמש? מה יהיה בסופנו ? האומנם יש יתרון לחוכמה ? מפני מה לא ניתן להקים משטר צודק ? מהם קשרי הגומלין בין אושר לעושר ומדוע איש אוהב כסף לא ישבע כסף ? מה מקור הרגשות ומה אנו יודעים על התשוקות ? האם ידיעת המוות יכולה לשמש כמדריך לחיים ? הכתוב במגילת קהלת מזמין את הקורא לחשוב בעצמו על כל הסוגיות שבהן התחבט המשורר החכם, מחבר המגילה. קהלת אינו מורה לנו לחשוב כמוהו וגם אינו מתווה לנו מסלול הליכה בעקבותיו.

In a world increasingly marked by despair, depression, and uncertainty, the need for hope has never been more urgent. "Faith’s Foundation: The Power of Keeping Hope Alive" by Rev. John Eugene Miller delves deep into the heart of Hebrews 11, offering readers a profound exploration of the unbreakable bond between hope and faith.

Miller reflects on Hebrews 11:1-6: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." This pivotal scripture underscores a vital truth: hope...

During its 2,500-year life, the book of Genesis has been the keystone to almost every important claim about reality, humanity, and God in Judaism and Christianity. And it continues to play a central role in debates about science, politics, and human rights. With clarity and skill, acclaimed biblical scholar Ronald Hendel provides a panoramic history of this iconic book, exploring its impact on Western religion, philosophy, science, politics, literature, and more.

Jacob and Solomon were polygamists. Tamar and Rahab were prostitutes. What are polygamists and prostitutes doing on the pages of holy scripture? And God told the prophet Hosea to marry a prostitute. What about Cain - did he really marry his sister? Abraham did, and he was also a polygamist. Lot offered his daughters up for rape, David committed adultery (or rape?), and the Bible calls both men righteous. Love, Old Testament style, was bizarre.
