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.

Meals have always been important across societies and cultures, a time for friends and families to come together. An important part of relationships, meals are vital to our social health. Author Tim Chester sums it up: "Food connects." Chester argues that meals are also deeply theological - an important part of Christian fellowship and mission. He observes that the book of Luke is full of stories of Jesus at meals. These accounts lay out biblical principles. Chester notes, "The meals of Jesus represent something bigger."

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.

Financial crisis, political crisis, environmental crisis - the list goes on. We’re confronted with calamity every time we read the headlines. But behind each of these lurks another kind of crisis, one we find harder to define: a moral crisis. In this wise and practical audiobook, Pastor Jonathan Dodson takes us back to the Beatitudes, the centerpiece of Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount. Dodson examines each of the Beatitudes in the context of the new morality that buffets our society today, presenting a compelling portrait of the truly good life, both personal and social.

From beginning to end, the very structure of the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes that Jesus is the son of God. At climactic points, Jesus is so identified - by Peter, by a Roman centurion, by Jesus himself, and by God the Father. With The Gospel of the Son of God, David Bauer provides a comprehensive introduction to this Gospel that has been so foundational to the Christian church. Arguing that the nature of Matthew itself should provide us with the framework for its study, he presents a holistic inductive approach with a literary, theological, and canonical focus.

Dies ist die vollständig gelesene Offenbarung des Johannes. Im Rahmen des Bibel-Projektes der Vertonung der Heiligen Schrift erscheint mit der Offenbarung des Johannes das erste Buch. Der Text basiert auf der Luther Bibel von 1912 und wurde gelesen von Seraphus Hermans. Stellenweise hat der Sprecher seine Wortwahl dem aktuellen Sprachgebrauch angepasst, um einen flüssigeren Lesefluss zu gewährleisten. Es wurde höchsten Wert darauf gelegt, den Inhalt sinngemäß identisch zum Originaltext zu belassen.

Die Sonderveröffentlichung "Die Ostergeschichte" knüpft konzeptionell an den Aufbau des Hörbuchs "Die Weihnachtsgeschichte" an. Neben der Lesung der Ostertexte interpretiert Jürgen Fliege liebevoll wie hinterfragend die Ostergeschichte anhand seiner eigenen Erfahrungen, mit denen er dem Zuhörer Einblicke "zwischen die Zeilen" der Bibel eröffnet.

"Wenn ich Matthäus lese, kommt ein unbestechlicher Jesus nach vorne, der nicht mit sich verhandeln lässt der in der Tradition des Moses steht und nicht nur süß und barmherzig ist. Er fordert." Jürgen Fliege. Matthäus ist Jude und sieht das Jüdische in Jesus. Er will belegen, dass Jesus der Messias ist, auf den das Volk seit 3 Jahrtausenden wartet. Matthäus ist ein harter Evangelist. Bei ihm muss alles stimmen, er begründet seinen Jesus aus dem alten Testament heraus. Bei Matthäus ist Jesus für das Volk Israels da und nicht für alle Welt.

Put James and Paul next to each other and some tough-to-answer questions come up. Paul says we're saved by faith alone, not works - and James seems to say the opposite. If you've been around the church for a while, you probably know enough to say "the right thing" if someone asked about these verses. But would your answers hold up to scrutiny? If pressed, would you know what to say? Dive into the life stories of both apostles, learn more about the context of their letters, and discover the truth about the shared message they both proclaimed.

Is gospel Christianity dead? Pundits are writing the obituary of historic, orthodox Christianity, but pastor and author J. D. Greear (Gospel, Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart) believes the postmortems are premature. Jesus promised to build his church. He said that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. The church is not going away. Along with this promise, Jesus gave clear instructions for how the church would prevail. He promised to build it on the rock of the gospel.

Remarkable Hope reveals a pattern of hope where individuals were surprised by Jesus in drastic ways after they placed their hope in him and were-at first-disappointed. Their stories show his work was rarely what they anticipated. As we observe Christ's faithful commitment to these Biblical characters who hoped in him, we are wowed by his unseen plan. We are comforted by his orchestration of circumstances and revived by his enduring presence. Remarkable Hope helps us gladly declare, like the apostle Paul, that "our hope does not disappoint us."

From the moment of his conversion, Paul was a man of prayer. His many prayers scattered throughout his letters are among the richest sources in all of Scripture for getting a practical insight into the subject matter of God-honouring prayer. Pink's detailed study captures the essence of the apostle's concern for the congregations on whose behalf he consistency prayed. However, Gleanings from Paul is much more than a mere study of Paul's prayers. Pink's insights help to gain a more rounded understanding of the apostle himself, the God he served, and the churches he worked with.

William Lyon Phelps (1865 - 1943) was an author, critic, and scholar. He had a radio show, wrote a daily syndicated newspaper column, lectured frequently, and published numerous popular books and articles. "Human Nature in the Bible" (1931) is an essay about the curiosities of human nature. Phelps looks at the Bible from another perspective than those based simply on dogma.

Figura chiave del cristianesimo nascente, Pietro è il primo ad aver visto Gesù risorto: un evento che fonda la sua autorità e fa di lui una delle "colonne" della comunità di Gerusalemme. Personaggio dai forti contrasti, unisce alla determinazione e alla responsabilità del capo la fragilità dell'uomo, che nel momento della difficoltà non esita a rinnegare il Maestro. Il suo martirio, avvenuto probabilmente a Roma sotto Nerone, lo ha indissolubilmente collegato a quella città, stabilendo - non senza dolorose fratture - il primato romano nella compagine delle chiese cristiane.

L'"Épître aux Galates" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Cette lettre est envoyée par l'apôtre Paul aux églises de Galatie. La date de rédaction est estimée entre 47 et 58 de notre ère, mais la plupart des historiens s'accordent sur une datation autour de 50/51 soit une vingtaine d'années après la crucifixion de Jésus. Il se qualifie comme "apôtre, non de la part des hommes ni par l'intermédiaire d'un homme, mais par Jésus-Christ et Dieu le Père qui l'a ressuscité des morts."

L'"Évangile selon Marc" forme, avec les trois autres évangiles, le cœur du Nouveau Testament, la partie la plus récente de la Bible chrétienne. Dès le prologue, Jésus nous est présenté comme le Messie, le Fils de Dieu. Poussé au désert par l'Esprit, Jésus se prépare à affronter son ennemi principal : Satan. Mais les anges le servent, et les bêtes sont témoins. Le Nouveau Souverain s'avance souverainement dans sa patrie, la Galilée. Il désigne ses premiers disciples, qui seront ses ministres. Il chasse les démons. Il parcourt toute la Galilée.

The Gospel and Its Ministry is a classic book in which Sir Robert Anderson deals in fresh and striking terms with the great truths of the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, grace, the cross, faith, repentance and the Spirit's work, substitution, righteousness, election, sanctification, reconciliation, and justification. Still in print 150 years after it was first published, this book is just as helpful and enlightening as it was then.
