Old English Bible

A Human-Shaped God approaches the humanlike accounts of God in the Old Testament as the starting places for theology and uses them to build a picture of the divine. This understanding of God is then brought into conversation with traditional conceptions that depict God as a being who knows everything that happens, is at every place at the same time, is constant and unchanging, and does not ultimately have material form.

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.

Do you want to play the game of life? Ecclesiastes is going to show us how to do this in a fallen world where things often don’t make sense and are messed up. For many, if not most, the book of Ecclesiastes is an enigma, packaged as a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, and then placed in some Russian dolls before it is locked up in Pandora's Box. “The Preacher” takes us on a journey from birth to death, running the whole gauntlet of life. Mysterious and challenging, this book is meant to be wrestled through as we discover that God is the answer to every longing of the soul.

In this text, I am not attempting to sway anyone from their current beliefs. Rather, I am attempting to sew together many of the loose ends of history, literature (including the Bible and the world’s other religious texts), science, and human experience. Though the observations might seem rather fantastical, I find them to be only deductions that incorporate the known facts. The reader must make his/her own decisions as to the authenticity of the citations used in this text and then make judgment as to the factual weights of both the pros and the cons behind the presence or absence of ...

BRILLIANTS ¬ Selected from the Writings of C. H. SPURGEON *** ¬ The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time, but using every hour for the highest ends. *** So sweet are the comforts of the Lord, that not only the saints themselves may sing of them, but even the heavens and the earth may take up the song. It Cakes something to make a mountain sing; and yet the prophet summons quite a choir of them. Lebanon, and Sirion, and the high hills of Bashan and Moab, he would set them all singing because of Jehovah's grace to His own Zion. May we not also make mountains ...

Each of the 25 chapters is a short, biblical commentary on the passage and how it relates to our lives.

In this short work, G.K. Chesterton writes with characteristic vivacity as he explores the compelling paradoxes of the book of Job, as found in the Hebrew Scriptures. Armed with keen precision and incisive wit, Chesterton revels in the reversions of expectation found in this story, particularly regarding the character of God. Indeed Chesterton names the God of Job a blasphemer, an atheist...and identifies the loneliness of God as the central idea of the Hebrew Scriptures. Listeners will delight in the twists and turns of Chesterton's thought.

Atheists often level charges at the God of the Bible as being angry and hateful. They claim that God condones genocide, that he is a cruel and oppressive megalomaniac, but this doesn’t seem to match what Christians claim about him being a God of love. How can a God who provides and saves also wipe out entire nations?

- The Book of Genesis, as the first Book in the Holy Bible, is considered as the living prelude to understanding the word of God. It gave us the broad lines that were manifested and realized in the Books to follow. In the Book of Genesis, as God reveals His love for man through creation, He continues to talk about His love by renewing creation, until the new earth and the new heaven appear in the Book of Revelation. - In the Book of Genesis, God promised Abraham that his children will inherit the kingdom of heaven. And, in the New Testament, the kingdom was revealed in the children of ...

The Old Testament is filled with stories that seem amazing on their own, but they also leave questions. If they are history, and not a part of the New Covenant that we have with Christ today, then why do we need these stories at all? What are they there for? Could it be that those stories were recorded and saved for us because there is something they can teach us? Could it be that those stories actually help us understand God and the New Covenant He has with us? Could it be that somehow those stories guide, teach and help us understand what God has for us as New Covenant believers? And ...
