If I could make it to the bridge, the pain would stop. I just had to make it to the bridge, and the hopelessness would end. It became a refrain, running over and over in my head as I raced down the highway. Make it to the bridge, and the pain will end. It's hopeless. Just wanna die. Make it to the bridge.

After a century of scholarship discounting even the possibility of knowing the Jesus of history, more and more contemporary scholarship is accepting the historicity of the Gospels and defending their reliability. LaGrange writing in the 1920s was the first to expose the prejudices and misconceptions of the German scholarship that rejected the miracles of Jesus and credibility of the believers' testimonies captured in the New Testament. Rev. Murphy-O'Connor does this in this riveting series of talks.

The Bible is a piercing drama, a tale of prophets and wandering spirits, heroic mothers and flashing swords, cosmic mountains, and a dry, shadowy Sheol. It is a true story that defines the nature and purpose of reality, and its claims are astonishing. But few modern listeners experience the Bible that way. In this groundbreaking audiobook, celebrated storyteller Blaine Eldredge draws upon years of research to illuminate the story of the Bible through the lives of six kingly characters.

In The Bible Is a Catholic Book, Jimmy Akin shows how the Bible cannot exist apart from the church. In its origins and its formulation, in the truths it contains, in its careful preservation over the centuries, and in the prayerful study and elucidation of its mysteries, Scripture is inseparable from Catholicism. This is fitting, since both come from God for our salvation. If you're a Catholic who sometimes gets intimidated by the Bible, The Bible Is a Catholic Book will help you better understand and take pride in this gift that God gave the world through the church.

Ein Mann ringt mit Gott – und mit sich selbst. In Ein Handel mit Gott erzählt Matthias Joos von einer persönlichen, spirituellen Reise, die nicht auf Wegen dogmatischer Gewissheit geht, sondern sich zwischen Zweifel, Stille und Gewahrsein entfaltet. Inspiriert vom biblischen Bild Jakobs, der mit Gott ringt und verletzt zurückbleibt, öffnet sich ein poetischer Raum für Fragen, Zweifel, Staunen und stille Gewissheit. Dieses Buch ist kein theologisches Traktat, sondern eine existenzielle Spurensuche.

With deft, insightful, and humorous strokes, award-winning biographer Jared Brock weaves archaeology, philosophy, history, and theology to create a portrait of Jesus we've never seen before. This is a groundbreaking biography about the historical Jesus we don't usually think about: The child refugee. The "carpenter" who most likely worked with stone. The adult who walked at least 21,525 miles in His lifetime and yet never tasted tomatoes or potatoes. 

Od momentu, gdy jako pierwsza zobaczyła Jezusa po zmartwychwstaniu i ogłosiła to światu, na temat jej dalszych losów Biblia milczy. Jednak ślady jej obecności i podróży do Rzymu, Efezu, Egiptu czy Francji można znaleźć m.in. w niekanonicznych ewangeliach i apokryfach. Aby je poznać, autorka odbyła długą drogę. Wiedzy i natchnienia szukała np. w bogatych archiwach Watykanu, docierając do najstarszych manuskryptów i zapomnianych ksiąg.
