The First Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ, also commonly referred to as The Infancy Gospel of Thomas (not to be confused with the apocryphal book simply called the Gospel of Thomas), dates to AD 185 and tells stories of the early events in the life of Christ, including miracles; although, also included are stories depicting the childhood Jesus behaving less sacredly than one might expect, which may be exactly the reason why the infancy gospels were never considered canon by the Church.

In 1384, a poor and illiterate peasant woman named Ermine moved to the city of Reims with her elderly husband. Her era was troubled by war, plague, and schism within the Catholic Church, and Ermine could easily have slipped unobserved through the cracks of history. After the loss of her husband, however, things took a remarkable but frightening turn. For the last 10 months of her life, Ermine was tormented by nightly visions of angels and demons.

We live in a tumultuous time. Upheavals and reversals in culture, popular opinion, morality, race relations, socioeconomic status, and so much more have entire generations feeling off balance or out of touch. How do we keep pace with the breathtaking rate of change in our society when we can hardly find time to keep up with our racing newsfeeds? And in the face of such enormous cultural forces, is there anything we can do to help shape our culture?

In zijn hoorcollege reconstrueert Etienne Vermeersch het leven van Jezus van Nazareth volgens een historisch-kritische methode. Deze bestaat uit een kritische analyse van de beschikbare bronnen en hun culturele en historische context om zo te beargumenteren wat historisch is en wat niet. Algemeen wordt aangenomen dat Jezus van Nazareth een Joodse profeet was die leefde van ca. 5 v.C. tot ca. 30 n.C. Vanaf ongeveer 28 n.C. trad hij in Galilea en Judea naar buiten als profeet. Op bevel van de Romeinse prefect Pontius Pilatus werd hij in 30 (of 33) n.C. door Romeinse soldaten gekruisigd. Echter, er bestaan geen strikt historische bronnen over Jezus.

L'opera ci parla degli avvenimenti epocali che scossero l'età del Rinascimento in Italia e in Europa: la Riforma protestante di Lutero, Calvino, Zwingli...

Erst durch das Christentum entstand im Frühen Mittelalter aus einer Reihe heterogener Stämme eine Einheit und somit die Grundlage für den Kulturraum Europa. Häufig floss bei Missionsversuchen Blut, denn die Missionare wollten ja die heidnische Kultur zugunsten einer christlichen überwinden. Letztlich aber war der Siegeszug des christlichen Glaubens unaufhaltsam. An seinem Endpunkt stand ein Europa, das durch die lateinische Sprache, durch Liturgie, Kirchenbaukunst und Kultur bei allen Unterschieden zu einem einheitlichen Gesicht fand.

¿Estuvo casado Jesús? ¿Es la Iglesia una organización nacida para ocultar la verdad sobre Cristo? ¿Son los evangelios una fabricación encargada por el emperador romano Constantino para obtener mayor poder? ¿Qué es el Priorato de Sión? ¿Y el culto a la diosa?

¿Cuál es el verdadero origen de Jesús? ¿Sería la publicación de los manuscritos del mar Muerto un golpe dirigido al corazón de las grandes religiones monoteístas? ¿O se trataba de una conspiración encaminada a ocultar la verdad al gran público? El descubrimiento en 1947 de los manuscritos del mar Muerto dio lugar a una serie de interrogantes que hasta ahora no habían encontrado una respuesta certera.

Luther ist allen bekannt und in aller Munde, aber deshalb ist er uns keineswegs mit dem vollen Bilde seines Wesens und Wirkens gegenwärtig. Nicht nur haftet meist der Blick zu ausschließlich an der religiösen Bewegung, die von ihm ausging, auch wird nicht genügend anerkannt, daß die Erneuerung der Religion ihre einzigartige Kraft und Wucht aus dem Ganzen eines eigentümlichen Lebens schöpfte, das in jenem Manne hervorbrach, und das in der Religion wohl seinen Höhepunkt fand...

When Augustine handed over the leadership of his church in AD 426, his successor was so overwhelmed by a sense of inadequacy that he declared, "The swan is silent", fearing the spiritual giant's voice would be lost in time. But for 1,600 years Augustine has not been silent - and neither have the men who faithfully trumpeted the cause of Christ after him. Their lives have inspired every generation of believers and should compel us to a greater passion for God.

We admire these men for their greatness, but the truth is Augustine grappled with sexual passions, Martin Luther struggled to control his tongue, and John Calvin fought the battle of faith with worldly weapons. Yet each of these men will always be remembered for the messages they declared - messages that still resound today. John Piper explores these men's lives, integrating Augustine's delight in God with Luther's emphasis on the Word and Calvin's exposition of scripture. Through their strengths and struggles, we can learn how to live better today.

Her fiery, independent spirit is evident as Arnold Dallimore sets the mother of Methodism within her culture and time in England.

Excerpts from Susanna Wesley's letters and writings of her husband and children are included.
