Some have compared Paul's Letter to the fellowship at Galatia as the "Magna Carta" of the liberty of Christians. It is Paul's passionate defense against a sect known as Judaizers, who insisted Christ's followers were still required to follow certain Old Testament laws and observances to the letter. Paul says otherwise, and urges the brothers and sisters of the Galatian ecclesia to "stick to their guns" and continue to follow the path of Christ, where faith, not the legal requirements of Mosaic law, is the path into the Kingdom of God through Jesus Christ. - Summary by Mark Penfold

The Epistle of Paul to the Romans, usually referred to simply as Romans, is the sixth book in the New Testament. Biblical scholars agree that it was written by the Apostle Paul to explain that Salvation is offered through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is by far the longest of the Pauline epistles, and is considered his "most important theological legacy". (Introduction by Wikipedia)

This second letter from the Apostle Paul to the congregation of believers in the bustling port city of Corinth gives us a much more personal understanding of Paul's apostleship. He defends it rigorously, convincing his followers of his authority from God and his rights under that authority. His appeals to patience and understanding display a great emotional vulnerability in the seasoned preacher and missionary. He discusses the need to support the congregation in Jerusalem with their gifts, and reaffirms and vindicates his position as apostle to the Gentiles. - Summary by Mark Penfold

This is the Apostle Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth, Greece, a seaport filled with a diversity of not only people but religions. This letter gives advice, teaching, and stern warnings to his fellow Christians, especially warnings against sexual immorality. Paul also discusses division within the assembly and addresses some difficult issues surrounding such things as marriage. (Introduction by Mark Penfold)

Paul's letter to the Philippians contains some of the most quoted passages of the pastoral letters, including "to live is Christ and to die is gain" and "closes with the poetic passage urging Christians to contemplate whatever is true, pure and lovely. This reading is the whole letter complete in one chapter to encourage listeners to engage with the flow of Paul's themes. - Summary by Beth Thomas

Indudablemente Isaías fue uno de los más importantes profetas. Su libro, junto con el de los Salmos es el más leído del Antiguo Testamento. Se piensa que asi lo fue también para los judíos del tiempo de Jesucristo, ya que se encontraron más copias del libro de Isaías que de cualquier otro en los descubrimientos del Mar Muerto. Isaías profetizó por un período de unos cuarenta turbulentos y difíciles años, concentrándose exclusivamente al reino de Judá. Su función fue no solo de profeta sino también la de un consejero de estado. Su esposa fue designada como “la profetisa”, y...

La epístola del Apóstol San Pablo a los Romanos, versión Reina Valera.

Pablo tiene muchos recuerdos agradables de los días que pasó con la pequeña iglesia de Tesalónica. Su fe, esperanza, amor y perseverancia frente a la persecución son ejemplares. La labor de Pablo como padre espiritual de la nueva iglesia fue ampliamente recompensada, y su afecto por ellos se palpa en cada línea de su carta.En las cartas del apóstol Pablo a los tesalonicenses, él los alienta a perseverar en su nueva fé, a aumentar su amor mutuo y a regocijarse, orar y dar gracias siempre. Él cierra su carta con instrucciones sobre el regreso del Señor, cuyo advenimiento significa ...

Mark's Gospel is certainly the shortest, and possibly the earliest of the four canonical gospels. It covers Jesus' life from his Baptism to his Resurrection, but concentrates particularly on the week leading up to the Crucifixion. It appears to have been written for a general audience, and its relative simplicity makes it perhaps the most accessible of the four Gospels for a first time reader. (Paragraph by Justin)

Jeremías, a menudo llamado "el profeta llorón" debido a su persistente mensaje del juicio de Dios, profetizó a la nación de Judá desde el reinado del rey Josías en 627 a. C. hasta la destrucción de Jerusalén en 586 a. C. Dictó sus profecías al escriba llamado Baruch (36: 4,32). La tarea de Jeremías como profeta era declarar el juicio venidero de Dios. Sin embargo, a lo largo del libro también vemos la preocupación de Dios por el arrepentimiento y la justicia, tanto en los individuos como en las naciones. Este enfoque dual se ve en las instrucciones de Dios a Jeremías: Él debía ...

El evangelio según Juan se considera uno de los 10 libros más leídos de la Biblia, por lo que a mi respecta, es mi favorito y te invito a que lo leas con una mente abierta, no solo una vez, sino varias veces, ya que cada vez que lo lees Dios te habla de una manera personal y te muestra cosas que no viste antes. Juan escribió su evangelio para persuadir a la gente a creer en Jesús. En sus versos iniciales declara que Jesús es Dios, enfatizando su relación única con Dios el Padre. Se concentra en siete milagros de Jesús para demostrar su divinidad. Jesús invitó a la gente a tener fe ...

El Apóstol Judas era probablemente el medio hermano del Señor Jesucristo y el hermano de Santiago. Se cree que Judas probablemente escribió este libro alrededor del año 69 DC.En esta carta Judas advirtió contra aquellos que, habiendo ganado la admisión en la iglesia estaban pervirtiendo la gracia de Dios, negando "a Dios que solo es el que tiene dominio y a nuestro Señor Jesucristo" (versículo 4). Judas usó ejemplos del Antiguo Testamento para advertir de estos "defectos" en la iglesia. Escribió múltiples denuncias de estas personas impías que "contaminan la carne y rechazan la ...

Published in 1904, The Twentieth Century New Testament is considered the first translation of the Bible into modern English. It was produced in Britain over a period of 15 years by approximately 20 people -- ministers, housewives, school teachers and businessmen -- who were united by their desire for a New Testament in the language of the people. They were advised by such scholars as J. Rendel Harris and Richard Weymouth so their rendering is quite accurate. In addition they made some effort at rearranging the New Testament books in the order scholars believe they were written -- Mark comes ...
