Ever wonder why much of American Christianity is pro-spanking, pro-tough-on-crime, anti-gun control, pro-war, and hell-affirming, even though Jesus taught mercy, non-violence and enemy love? When Michael Camp started deconstructing his evangelical faith, he noticed a pattern. The doctrines he questioned—original depravity, substitutionary atonement, God-ordained genocide in the Old Testament, the doctrine of hell, etc.—were all tied to retribution and violence.

The Book of Job is about a question for all of us. Why is there suffering? Job is a personal book that speaks to each of us as we face suffering and meaninglessness. Job is a theological book that both builds on the biblical worldview and prepares its listeners for the gospel. Job is a philosophical book that critically examines solutions to this question.

We can go on a treasure hunt in the Bible, to not only know more about our Lord Jesus Christ but also His instructions for us while we wait for Him. First and Second Thessalonians are written to a model church to give them further instruction and assure them of their pre-Tribulation rapture. First Timothy is Paul’s charge to Timothy to keep the doctrine the same as when Christ gave it to Paul, and how the local church is to operate. Second Timothy is Paul’s challenge to Timothy before his death. Titus is Paul’s instruction to Titus to continue the ministry in the midst of apostasy. ...

Shocked by the Bible sets the record straight with well-researched, controversial, myth-breaking assertions about what the Bible really does—and doesn’t—say. And guess on which day the Bible says Jesus died. Believe it or not, the Good Book doesn't mention Friday, and even more surprisingly, while the Bible says Jesus rose from the grave, it does not say it occurred Sunday morning. News veteran Joe Kovacs goes on a mission to help both Christians and non-Christians alike find out what the Bible really contains, and what it doesn't.

The Bible for Grown-Ups neither requires nor rejects belief. It sets out to help intelligent adults make sense of the Bible - a book that is too large to swallow whole yet too important in our history and culture to spit out. Why do the creation stories in Genesis contradict each other? Did the Exodus really happen? Was King David a historical figure? Why is Matthew's account of the birth of Jesus so different from Luke's? Why was St Paul so rude about St Peter?

The Pharisees and scribes have captured Jesus, who has been a nuisance to them for the past three years. Upon what crime, we don't know. First, the soldiers lead him to Annas for a pre-trial.

When I tell you the Bible is your biography, I am actually saying that you are God, and I mean it. We are told in the 82nd psalm: "I say, 'You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any prince.'" So I mean exactly what the psalmist said: that you are gods. But man has such a strange concept of the word "God".

For centuries, Romans chapters 9 through 11 have sparked intense debates over predestination, election, and Israel’s place in God’s plan. Many argue that Paul teaches God predestines certain people for salvation and others for damnation, or that Israel has been replaced by the Christian church. But what if these interpretations miss the mark? This verse-by-verse commentary offers a fresh perspective, challenging traditional views and proposing that election is God’s call to service, not salvation.
