New Testament English

One of the best ways to understand the Bible is to read it as a whole from the beginning to the end. The stories in the Bible are not disconnected. They form one story. Your Sunday school teacher was wrong. She couldn't connect the storyline of the Bible. What she didn't do, this book steps in as a guide. In this book, H.K. Holland walks you through all the 66 books showing you how they are all connected and lead to one person, Jesus Christ.

Manuscript families are important and are a lot like people.It is important for a person when they can trace their ancestry back to a significant important historical person.

This book is the direct descendant of the original Gospel of Matthew written by the disciple of Yeshua (Jesus) himself, Matthew; diligently maintained, not by Christian scholars, but by the Jewish Masoretic community. It's importance to scholars and purists is incredibly important. What you will read in these pages is the version of Matthew that I have prepared to be ...

Romans chapter 9 has become a dividing point between competing theologies for years. Calvinistic authors ground much of their interpretation of the Bible and understanding of God's nature and character from this particular chapter. Christians that are unaware of the theological traps they can fall into by blindly following Calvin's theological determinism can result in a distorted view of God's nature and character. The consequence of this is surely problematic when applying a predetermined view of God to the rest of the Bible that the Scriptures simply will not support. This has at times ...

Peterson's Tell It Slant promises to deepen our understanding of Jesus' words, strengthen our awareness of language as a gift of God, and nurture our efforts to make all of our speech convey a blessing to others.

The Epistle of James is one of the most challenging letters in the New Testament. Written by the half-brother of Jesus, the Apostle James pulls no punches as he encouraged the believer to practice what he preaches. James writes with gut-level reality, and here’s why: while many of the New Testament epistles deliver what we are to believe, James declares how we should behave. In this practical volume, Stephen expounds on the truths of James and clarifies the theme of this powerful letter: our faith must be lived out!

What follows is not a translation in the ordinary sense of the word. It’s more like a paraphrase. Rather than worry over the letter of the text, the goal has been to illuminate the large scale patterns that structure it. The King James Version, for instance, renders Paul’s letter with uncanny beauty but is opaque as an argument. Modern translations tend to have the same problem. Their overriding concern is with the letter of the text, not with its logic. As a result, Paul’s forest is always getting sacrificed for the sake of his trees. But Paul’s work is too important, his good news...

Amazing New Testament Women What is the significance of the women mentioned in the New Testament? Many of the stories we read in the Bible, we read about the women that God used to do the work he needed done. Most of the stories are small parts that if we skip over, we don't get the real meaning of why the stories are in the Bible. The fact that these women are mentioned in the Bible should make us wonder why, and we should know that they are not in the Bible accidentally. God wanted us to read about them, and to know that they were special people in history, and important to know who they ...

The Book of Revelation is a work of profound theology. But its literary form makes it impenetrable to many modern listeners and open to all kinds of misinterpretations. Richard Bauckham explains how the book's imagery conveyed meaning in its original context and how the book's theology is inseparable from its literary structure and composition.

Typical translations of the New Testament make the biblical text as accessible as possible by using the language of our own day. At times this masks the distance between the New Testament text and modern audiences. Scripture continues to speak to us but it speaks as an ancient text to the modern world. New Testament scholar Scot McKnight offers a translation of the New Testament with a daring approach to the ancient text. Clever in its expression and at times stunning in its boldness, The Second Testament will challenge listeners to experience God's Word anew.

Jesus was the first to properly “exegesis” the heavenly Father. Thus, after asking Judith (my wife) to help me with a title for this book, she came up with the idea of including the word “exegesis” in the title for this book. Exegesis by definition mean critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially of Scriptures. However, “exegesis” is the Greek compound “ek,” which means “out-of,” that is something having its origin within that something; and “hegeomai,” which means, to lead. Therefore, Jesus was the first to lead us to the Father “out-of” the ...

At the very heart of the message of the New Testament is a Hebraic approach to the Almighty and His Good News. This approach is so vastly different from the Greek (and modern, Western) mindset, that without some basic appreciation of this foundational truth and perspective, the New Testament can be so totally misunderstood and misused as to render it’s central message null and void. This book looks at the question of the original language of the NT and what impact this has on the message contained therein.

Ever since he became a Christian at the age of 40, it has been Poirot actor David Suchet's dream to make an audio recording of the Bible.

This New Testament edition is excerpted from that Bible.

In this concise, engaging book, noted New Testament scholar Luke Timothy Johnson takes listeners on a journey back to the time of the early Roman Empire, when the New Testament was written in ordinary Greek (koine) by the first Christians. The author explains how the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, and Revelation evolved into the canon of sacred writings for the Christian religion, and how they reflect a reinterpretation of the symbolic world and societal forces of first-century Greco-Roman and Jewish life.
