Nem tudo o que se justifica com versículos bíblicos retirados de aqui e acolá é compatível com Jesus. Nem tudo o que se fala ou se faz em nome de Deus é compatível com Jesus. O que não combina com Jesus, o que não recebe o aval de Jesus, você deve descartar. Jesus, o Cristo, é o Alfa e o Ômega, o Princípio e o Fim.

Two monumental works on the nature of the modern age by Romano Guardini, one of the most important Catholic figures of the 20th century. This expanded edition of The End of the Modern World: A Search for Orientation includes its sequel, Power and Responsibility: A Course of Action for the New Age. In both, Guardini analyzes modern man's conception of himself in the world, and examines the nature and use of power.

Ihr seid das Licht der Welt. Die Stadt, die oben auf einem Berg errichtet ist, kann nicht verborgen bleiben! Ihr stellt ja auch euer Licht nicht unter den Scheffel, sondern hoch oben auf einen Leuchter, sodass es für alle scheint, die im Haus sind! So lasst euer Licht vor den Menschen leuchten, damit sie eure guten Taten sehen und sie den Vater im Himmel loben.

When someone thinks of Jesus, “genius” is not likely the first word that comes to mind. But when studied in detail, Jesus’s teachings and interactions with others combined high levels of knowledge and insight, verbal skill, and simplicity—showing his genius. In The Surprising Genius of Jesus, Peter J. Williams examines the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to show the genius, creativity, and wisdom of Jesus’s teachings. He used simple but powerful stories to confront the Pharisees and scribes of the day, drawing on his knowledge of the Jewish Scriptures to teach his audience.

What do the books of Luke and Acts teach us about God, Jesus, and the early church? How do these two books relate to each other? In this accessible and compelling introduction, Michael Bird draws us into the wide-ranging narrative of Luke-Acts to discover how Luke frames the life of Jesus and of the first disciples who set out from Jerusalem to "the ends of the earth" proclaiming the Good News. Bird shows us how these two books, when read together, tell a cohesive narrative about Jesus, the Church, and the mission of God—with implications for the whole of our lives today.

Everything about the gospel message leads to the cross, and proceeds from the cross. In fact, within the narrative of Scripture, the crucifixion of Jesus is literally the crux of the story—the axis upon which the biblical story turns. But it would be a mistake to think we could sum up the significance of the crucifixion in a tidy sentence or two. That kind of thinking only insulates us from the magnificence of what God has done. In our ongoing quest to make meaning of the cross, we need to recognize that this conversation will never conclude-that there is always something more to be said.

Walk through the Bible's earliest source for the life of Jesus with scholar Amy-Jill Levine as she examines John the Baptizer, the Little Apocalypse, the Transfiguration, and several of Jesus's most notable stories and parables. The Good News of the gospel message comes alive in this book as listeners see Jesus as divine and human, powerful and weak, approachable yet mysterious. The book features an in-depth study of select passages and illuminates the Gospel in its historical context and as a source for the other gospels.

Prodigals digs deeply into each line from Jesus's famous parable about the prodigal son, inviting all listeners—those down on their luck or high on their horse—to identify as prodigals. A prodigal is anyone who accepts they have a sinful human nature and turns toward the love of home, the place where we find a deeper relationship with God. Rather than divide the world into prodigals and nonprodigals, Taylor invites listeners to find themselves in the teaching of Jesus as either younger or elder siblings.
