This author should be placed along with the very greatest of historians.” In Ramsay's book Trustworthiness of the New Testament, he provides us with much valuable material ...

Interest in the end times is increasing, and there are some critical questions every student of end-time prophecy must come to terms with. How should scripture be understood when it speaks of the Antichrist: Literally or allegorically? And if the Antichrist and his persecution are literal events, will the church have to undergo this terrible time of persecution, or will she be removed before the time of great tribulation begins?

The books of the Bible were written at different times by different authors over a period of approximately 1,500 years from around 1400BC through 90AD. The Old Testament was written in Biblical Hebrew excluding the Books written during "the Chaldean captivity" such as Daniel and Ezra which were written in "Biblical Aramaic" during the "Chaldean captivity". Many of the Books of the Old Testament bear the names of the Prophets who authored them. Moses compiled the earlier parts of Genesis and directly authored the remaining portion.

For the most part Abraham's children—Jews, Christians, and Muslims—are strangers to one another, knowing what someone has told them about the other. In A Year with Abraham’s Children, you can read the words of each as they speak for themselves. Obviously, the three faiths are different or they would not be separate faiths. Still, they have much in common. Robert Flaherty has collected quotations from the three children of Abraham, primarily from the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, and the Qur’an, that emphasize what the three have in common. For each day of the year, there is ...
