A soma de quase todo nosso conhecimento - que se deve julgar de fato como verdadeiro e sólido conhecimento - se compõe de duas partes: O conhecimento de Deus e o conhecimento de nós mesmos. Como, porém, essas duas formas de conhecimento se entrelaçam com muitos elos, não é fácil, entretanto, discernir qual delesvem primeiro e dá origem ao outro. Por outro lado, é notório que o homem jamais chega ao puro conhecimento de si mesmo, se antes não contemplar a face de Deus e, da visão de Deus, descer ao exame de si mesmo.

Eric Huffman, author of 40 Days of Doubt, helps listeners understand and cope with confusion about the Bible and provides answers to questions by reframing it as a perfect and seamless story. Huffman illustrates how the Bible, even the parts some consider ungodly, presents the beautiful story that God intended to tell. Through storytelling from his own experiences and his take on Bible stories, Huffman helps listeners understand the Bible by interpreting the entire book through the lens of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.

The books of Genesis, Jubilees, and Jasher contain largely the same narrative, with the Genesis account of the Bible ending roughly at Jubilees 46:8 and at Jasher 59:28. However, the latter two books also include several striking deviations from Genesis which are quite revealing from a biblical standpoint. We believe that hearing them in this type of synchronized format allows for much more clarity in terms of perceiving both subtle and overt differences in the three narratives.

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery; masters could beat their slaves; creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt; and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

O salmista confirma a sentença precedente, demonstrando a grandeza de Deus à luz do maravilhoso caráter de suas obras. Ele não fala da essência secreta e misteriosa de Deus que enche céu e terra, mas das manifestações de seu poder, sabedoria, bondade e justiça, que são claramente exibidos, embora sejam tão vastos para que nosso tacanho entendimento os apreenda.

Clarence Larkin (1850-1924) was a pastor, author, and theologian. Published in 1918, The Book of Daniel examines the Biblical book of Daniel in detail. An entire chapter is devoted to the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel’s interpretation of it. Larkin also investigates and interprets the Book of Revelation, with reference to earlier books of the Bible.

Andrew Jukes (1815-1901) was an English theologian and deacon of St. John's Church, Hull. The Names of God in Holy Scripture (1888) examines the Old and New Testaments to find and interpret the names of the Lord.

Andrew Jukes (1815-1901), deacon of St. John's Church, Hull, wrote this classic work on the offerings of the Old Testament’s Book of Leviticus and their significance for the New Testament believer. The author considers the five tabernacle offerings of Leviticus as forms of Christ's work to enable the believer's fellowship with God.

People regularly give certain reasons for not believing in God, but they are much less aware of what the New Testament actually teaches. Although challenges to Christianity are perennial and have frequently been addressed, they are noticeably more common today and are currently of particular interest among evangelicals.

Before Harriet Tubman or Martin Luther King was identified with Moses, African Americans identified those who challenged racial oppression in America with Samson. In Black Samson: The Untold Story of an American Icon, Nyasha Junior and Jeremy Schipper tell the story of how this biblical character became an icon of African American literature.

Through it all, Bailey employs his trademark expertise as a master of Middle Eastern culture to lead you into a deeper understanding of the person and significance of Jesus within his own cultural context.

Pater Anselm Grün spricht mit Günther Gremp über das klassische Evangelium am Ostermontag. Er erklärt die Enttäuschung der Jünger, die Verheißung und das Erkennen beim gemeinsamen Brotbrechen.

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.

Was ist Glaube? Der Hebräerbrief gibt Antworten auf diese Frage. Im Gespräch mit Günther Gremp stellt sich Pater Anselm Grün gegen einen blinden Glauben und streicht heraus, dass Glaube Sinn und Verstand braucht, damit er einen festen Grund und Orientierung für die Menschen sein kann.

In der Suche nach Orientierung im Leben werden auch heute viele Antworten gegeben. Mit Petrus fragt Jesus auch uns an, welches Bild wir von ihm haben. Pater Anselm Grün regt im Gespräch mit Günther Gremp dazu an, die vielfältigen Facetten von Jesus immer wieder neu zu entdecken.

Engel als Boten Gottes begegnen uns in vielfältiger Weise. In der Geschichte der Begegnung Marias mit dem Engel streicht Pater Anselm Grün im Gespräch mit Günter Gremp heraus, dass es wichtig ist, dass wir wie Maria damals die Boten Gottes erkennen und uns auf ihre Botschaft einlassen müssen. Zum Beginn des Gesprächs wird die einführende Bibelstelle aus dem Lukas-Evangelium 1,26-38 von Elisabeth Verhoeven gesprochen.

The Book of Revelation is probably the most frightening and perplexing book of the New Testament. Full of signs and symbols, predictions and warnings, it speaks of extraordinary times marked by falling stars, a bloodcovered moon, the collapse of empires, and widespread havoc. Such hyper-dramatic language characterizes all apocalyptic literature. Fr. Alfred McBride, O. Praem. sets the record straight with an authentic Catholic interpretation of the Book of Revelation. He gives you three keys to understanding the Book of Revelation.
