Can Christians ever "win" if the Christian life is a drudgery of ups and downs? Where only some days we conquer our sinful desires, and only sometimes we succeed at loving unconditionally? No. That's counterfeit success, if any is found in such a life at all, says Charles Trumbull in Victory in Christ. The true essence of living a full Christian life means we quit trying. Instead, we let Jesus Christ live His life through ours. This book reveals the tremendous freedom that is for every believer who truly releases control, and learns to rely 100 percent on the Lord.

Why are scholars so prone to fabricate a new Jesus? Why is the public so eager to accept such claims without question? What methods and assumptions predispose scholars to distort the record? Is there a more sober approach to finding the real Jesus? Commenting on such recent releases as Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus, James Tabor's The Jesus Dynasty, Michael Baigent's The Jesus Papers and the Gospel of Judas, Craig Evans offers a sane approach to examining the sources for understanding the historical Jesus.

Descubrirás a un Jesús diferente, uno que cambiará radicalmente tu forma de ver a Dios, a ti mismo y a los demás; un Jesús que nunca se dará por vencido contigo y que jamás dejará de amarte. Él quiere que lo conozcas, que lo ames y que seas amado por Él. Esta es una perspectiva que cambia la vida, lo mucho que Jesús anhela ser tu amigo, y una garantía de que cuando comprendes a fondo el poder de este mensaje, tu vida se verá diferente. Todo cambiará, y entrarás en la experiencia más satisfactoria que puedas imaginar.

Tout ce que la Bible a à dire sur l'Évangile se trouve dans la révélation de son message central : Jésus-Christ a vécu et est mort pour sauver les pécheurs. L'Évangile est à propos de lui ; il répond à la question clé de Jésus : « Qui dites-vous que je suis ? » Dans La Bonne Nouvelle, John MacArthur examine ce que la Bible nous révèle au sujet de Jésus-Christ et encourage les chrétiens à considérer la portée de tout ce qu’il a accompli pour eux. C'est un livre qui ravivera votre amour et vous remplira d’admiration pour notre Sauveur.

La Bible enseigne que Dieu est un en substance et trois en personne—le Père, le Fils et le Saint-Esprit. Bien que la Trinité soit clairement enseignée dans la Bible, celle-ci a été attaquée tout au long de l’histoire de l’Église, et de nombreux chrétiens aujourd’hui ne comprennent toujours pas cette doctrine fondamentale. Dans ce petit livre, R. C. Sproul explique clairement la Trinité. Même si la Trinité est mystérieuse, elle ne constitue pas une contradiction, et elle est essentielle pour comprendre la nature de Dieu.

Les chrétiens peuvent facilement avoir l’impression que Jésus est perpétuellement déçu et frustré par leur marche chrétienne, voire qu’il est même sur le point de les abandonner. Ils savent ce que Jésus a fait pour eux, mais ils ont souvent une connaissance superficielle de sa personne. Quels sont les sentiments qui l’animent lorsqu’il considère les péchés et les échecs de son peuple ? Dans Matthieu 11, Jésus se décrit comme étant « doux et humble de cœur », désirant ardemment que son peuple trouve le repos en lui.

Understanding Judaism—and the way in which Judaism and Christianity became separate religions—is essential for a rich and holistic Christian identity. As a follower of Jesus who was raised in a Jewish home and who continues to live a Jewish life, Jennifer Rosner has seen firsthand how a Christian faith can become impoverished when divorced from its Jewish roots. Finding Messiah follows Rosner's own journey in rediscovering the role of Judaism and God's covenant with Israel in Christian life and practice.

The question of the historicity of Jesus' resurrection has been repeatedly probed, investigated, and debated. And the results have varied widely. Perhaps some now regard this issue as the burned-over district of New Testament scholarship. Could there be any new and promising approach to this problem? Yes, answers Michael Licona. And he convincingly points us to a significant deficiency in approaching this question: our historiographical orientation and practice.

If Jews and Christians both believe in the same God, why is there such division? Why is history littered with deathly accounts of this division, from the early Jewish persecution of Christians to the Crusades' slaughtering of Jews? The Lion of Judah unpacks the roots of this division, showing how jealousy, theology, the law, and the integration of Gentile believers into what was once a predominantly Jewish early church contributed to the schism. It then goes on to reveal how Jesus magnificently fulfilled every word in the Bible.

A short booklet that asks this most important question.

Waarom is Jezus gekruisigd? Waarom moest Hij sterven? Wat heeft dat met mij te maken? Wie heeft Hem eigenlijk de dood ingestuurd? Het antwoord op die laatste vraag is: dat deed God. Een verbijsterende gedachte, want Jezus is immers Gods Zoon. Toch kun je uit de Bijbel geen andere conclusie trekken. Als de Bijbel over het sterven van Jezus spreekt, draait het echter niet om die vraag. Dan gaat het om de bedoeling van Zijn dood. Welk doel stond God voor ogen?

What did Jesus - the original Jesus - say about the pressing issues of his and our day? He didn't mention homosexuality but did call for the poor and marginalized to be protected and championed; he never spoke of abortion but did criticize the wealthy and complacent; he didn't side with the rulers and wealthy but did condemn those who judged and exploited others and turned their eyes away from those in need and from the cry for justice. This was Jesus the rebel, Christ the radical, who turned the world upside down and demanded that his followers do the same.

Live with freedom and abundance as you freshly discover the cross of Jesus through the powerful stories and biblical insights of influential preacher and musician Josh White. “[A] vision of gospel hope.”—John Mark Comer Desperation reverberates at the very center of our anxious age...

Christians, rightly called “people of the cross,” look to Jesus’s death and resurrection as the central points of his earthly mission. But in order to understand more fully the person and work of Christ, it’s important for believers to fix their minds on his entire ministry — his life, death, resurrection, and ongoing ministry today — and not solely on his work on the cross.

Prompted by a friend to describe Jesus as he is - not as he was or will be in the coming days - Dick Eastman found himself stammering. What followed over many months was a desire to get to know the Jesus who had changed his life, but in a much fuller and richer way - now! From then on, on scraps of folded paper in his pockets, Eastman found himself recording adjectives describing the nature and character of Jesus Christ, expanding them later into a personal devotional journal.

A New Christ, the first book by the inspirational author Wallace D. Wattles, is an attempt to ascertain by scientific study what Jesus was, how he lived, and what he taught. Wattles explains that in the common concept of Christ that arose in the Middle Ages, he was held up as a weak and meek figure who was despised. The author quotes from scripture to show that he was educated, that he had a commanding presence, and that he was not humble in the way the church portrays him.

John Owen (1616 - 1683) was vice chancellor of Oxford University and served as advisor to Oliver Cromwell. The Death of Death in the Death of Christ is a polemical work, attempting to prove, among other things, that the doctrine of universal redemption is unscriptural. It is divided into four parts. The first sets forth his thesis that the work of Christ on the cross was made for the full and complete salvation of those whom God intended to save.

James Denney was a Scottish New Testament scholar, pastor, and theologian (1856 - 1917). The author was convinced that the death of Christ was not given the proper importance in the common Christian mind, measured against its centrality in the New Testament. The purpose of the evangelical and theological work The Death of Christ is thus to explain the place held by the death of Christ in the scriptures, and the interpretation put upon it by the apostolic writers.

A sermon by Charles Spurgeon, in which he claims that Christ died out of sheer pity for the ungodly.

The way of the cross is not confined to a lonely road in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago:it is a busy highway winding through every village, town and city in our modern world. Fr Denis McBride C.Ss.R. reflectively guides us along the way of the cross. He contrasts the beauty and solemn simplicity of the more traditional Stations by artist Curd Lessig with modern images that challenge us to link Jesus’ story to the struggle of our everyday life.
