An examination of sex and the Bible by one of the leading biblical scholars in the United States. For several decades, Michael Coogan's introductory course on the Old Testament has been a perennial favorite among students at Harvard University. In God and Sex, Coogan examines one of the most controversial aspects of the Hebrew Scripture: What the Old Testament really says about sex, and how contemporary understanding of those writings is frequently misunderstood or misrepresented.

The wisdom of Solomon was part of the Greek Bible most often quoted by Jesus Christ and the Apostles. To what degree did Jesus and the Apostles regard the content of this book, and incorporate it in their teachings? The evidence is in the text itself. Conceptual themes are considered with respect to frequent allusions made throughout the New Testament.

Is your life an act of God? Is it predestined? Or are you living a life based on free will, choices and personal desires, expressing quantum energy? Or are all of these questions the same. You can not control the wind but you can adjust your sail.

The Gospel According to Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels, and some believe it may have been written as a sort of “tract” meant to be read by a fast moving and “on the go” type of people.[1] It was, of course, written by Mark, or sometimes called John Mark in the Bible. Mark’s readership is a Roman person. His life is busy and fast paced He is always on the move and traveling He doesn’t have a lot of time for incidentals So Mark cuts right to the chase. Again a quote, “The abruptness with which he announces his subject, and the energetic brevity with which, passing by ...

Our Spiritual Compass: The Conscience and Morality provides an overview of man’s immaterial parts (spirit, soul, heart, flesh, will, mind, and conscience). It uses this background to provide an in-depth Biblical study of the conscience. The latter part of the book is dedicated to understanding morality from the standpoint of conscience, examining how 200 years of worldly thought have corrupted our understanding of morality and ethics, and the ways in which modern life and philosophy are at odds with God’s guidance. Clear, accessible, and well researched, this is the book you need.

The Fall of Satan and Rise of the Antichrist is my flagship book! Some important Bible prophecies are about to overtake us! This book corrects prophetic misconceptions. It also helps us to understand the season. Many teachers have said that Christ’s coming is eminent. But their accounts are too often generalized.

Such as the destruction of Damascus and the Turkish led invasion into Israel. We can only recognize these events as we ...

Delve into a verse by verse study of the book of Leviticus from a prophetic perspective. This volume of the Prophetic Perspective Commentary is an expositional inquiry of the book of Leviticus, chapter by chapter. Expositional study of the Bible (verse by verse, chapter by chapter) gives the reader access to a level of narrative and inspiration than the more common topical study. In Leviticus, God instructs Moses and the people of Israel regarding the protocols of worship around the Tabernacle (the elaborate, ceremonial tent where God’s presence dwelled at the time). What can the modern ...

Almost all thinking people know that this world is approaching some sort of climax. And people want to know the conclusion of this climax. The Bible is the only credible document that claims to answer man’s questions about human future. Christians should always remember that the book of Revelation is no mere speculation. It is the written record where God, Who knows no time, Who sees the future as the presentTells us what will happen in our future It is not a prediction. It is a record.

I remember when I first began to live for the Lord, Mike Riggs and I were doing a Bible study at noon on the job site, and Mike told me that I should underline the word faith each time it is used in this chapter. It is one of the most impressive chapters of all the Bible. You will notice with me that the chapter begins with the definition of faith. This is traditional Jewish literature in that the Apostle summarizes all that he plans on presenting to us in just the first few words. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders ...

Imagine if someone who had never heard of Judaism or Christianity read the Old Testament. How could the relationship between God and humanity possibly be understood? In Joseph's Bones, Segal approaches the Bible from this fresh perspective—one framed by the story of the Israelites' fidelity to Joseph—and finds something an account of the human condition that reads like an existential novel about the struggle of mankind against the unpredictable and often unwarranted wrath of God. This is a rarity in Biblical interpretation—brilliant and rigorously argued, "a work of stunning originality."
