God's identity is beyond what we could ever fully express in human words. But Scripture uses one particular word to describe the distinctiveness of God's character: the Hebrew word hesed. Hesed is a concept so rich in meaning that it doesn't translate well into any single English word or phrase. Michael Card unpacks the many dimensions of hesed, often expressed as lovingkindness, covenant faithfulness, or steadfast love. He explores how hesed is used in the Old Testament to reveal God's character and how he relates to his people.

"Chi legge l'Antico Testamento con la mente disincantata e vi si avvicina con l'atteggiamento sereno che avrebbe verso qualsiasi libro scritto dall'umanità, non ha alcuna difficoltà a cogliere l'evidenza dei fatti."

How can an evangelical view of Scripture be reconciled with modern biblical scholarship? In this book Peter Enns, an expert in biblical interpretation, addresses Old Testament phenomena that challenge traditional evangelical perspectives on Scripture. He then suggests a way forward, proposing an incarnational model of biblical inspiration that takes seriously both the divine and the human aspects of Scripture.

Are you ready for real and radical transformation? God Is Enough! This message comes through loud and clear in the lives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. While they failed time and again, God was faithful to convict, restore and bless them. And He is able to deal with our slipping and stumbling as well. Watchman Nee uses the lives of the patriarchs to show that God is able to turn our failure into success and our weakness into strength.

In one of his most enlightening works, C. S. Lewis shares his ruminations on both the form and the meaning of selected psalms. In the introduction he explains, "I write for the unlearned about things in which I am unlearned myself." Consequently, he takes on a tone of thoughtful collegiality as he writes on one of the Bible's most elusive books.

Il Cantico dei Cantici è considerato uno dei testi più enigmatici e controversi della Bibbia: è un componimento poetico millenario, scritto probabilmente nel IV secolo a. C. E' stato fra gli ultimi libri ad essere incluso nella Bibbia ebraica, probabilmente perché non parla né di Dio né di Israele, né è il racconto di una visione profetica.

In our modern age the biblical Genesis flood account has been probed and analyzed for answers to scientific, apologetic, and historical questions. It is a text that has called forth flood geology, fueled searches for remnants of the ark on Mount Ararat, and inspired a full-size replica of Noah's ark in a biblical theme park. Some claim that the very veracity of Scripture hinges on a particular reading of the flood narrative. But do we understand what we are reading? Longman and Walton urge us to ask, what might the biblical author have been saying to his ancient audience?

If God has spoken, then the highest human aspiration must be to hear what the Creator has said. God has indeed spoken, through the Ten Commandments, and Al Mohler explores this revelation of God and the implications for His people. The promise is to hear, to obey, and to live. These "Ten Words" tell us who God is and what His people should look like.

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.

In How to Read the Bible, Harvard professor James Kugel leads the listener chapter by chapter through the "quiet revolution" of recent biblical scholarship, showing time and again how radically the interpretations of today''s researchers differ from what people have always thought.

For over a decade, A Biblical History of Israel has gathered praise and criticism for its unapologetic approach to reconstructing the historical landscape of ancient Israel through a biblical lens. In this much-anticipated second edition, the authors reassert that the Old Testament should be taken seriously as a historical document alongside other literary and archaeological sources. Significantly revised and updated, A Biblical History of Israel, Second Edition includes the authors' direct response to critics, and includes updated archaeological data and new references.

You will come to understand why the Bible and especially its first five books, the Torah, are the most influential books ever written. Equally important, you will understand how they apply to your life. The Rational Bible, Dennis Prager’s commentary and explanation of these five books—rooted in his expertise in biblical Hebrew and its grammar—is widely considered the most important modern Bible commentary. Read the thousands of reviews on Amazon—written by people of many faiths and of no faith—and you will appreciate why this is so.

Enoch, discendente di Adamo, narra il suo viaggio attraverso i sette cieli, ricevendo rivelazioni sulla creazione, il futuro e segreti divini. I Libri di Enoch, considerati apocrifi, svelano conoscenze esoteriche e insegnamenti eretici. Frammenti trovati tra i Rotoli del Mar Morto suggeriscono l'influenza su pensieri del Nuovo Testamento. Il volume offre una prospettiva affascinante sulle prime credenze cristiane, approfondendo temi come Genesi, Noè, angeli caduti, demoni e la fine dei tempi.

Seine Hand drang in den Mondstrahl, warf langgezogene Schatten in das silberne Licht. In seiner Faust hielt er einen Dolch umklammert. Das Eisen sog durstig den Mondschein auf. Doch dem Führer der Klinge dürstete es nach mehr... Blut spritzte heiß auf Dinas Haut, rann zusammen mit ihren Tränen über ihre Wangen.

Kain wollte geliebt werden wie Abel. Wollte die gleiche Anerkennung von Gott wie Abel. Doch er war nicht bereit, dafür die gleichen Opfer wie sein Bruder darzubringen. Dieselbe Demut. Dieselbe Güte. Stattdessen wählte er einen anderen Weg.

Discover how God used Judah despite colossal dysfunction in his family. Surprisingly, "Judah" is the name from which we derive our modern words "Jew" and "Judaism". God works the same Judah twist (that is, spiritual transformation) in our lives when we believe and seek his guidance.

Economic theories, economists, and financial institutions increasingly play crucial roles in today’s society. Many question whether economics has now superseded both politics and religion as the dominant paradigm in which nearly all public policy and personal decisions are made. While the financial sector is said to have recovered from the latest financial crash, most people have not and still sense that they are losing ground. With the increased tension over making ends meet, the human propensity seeks out the causes for one’s lack of prosperity and thus the blame engine gets revved up.

Of all the figures in the Bible, David arguably stands out as the most perplexing and enigmatic. He was many things: a warrior who subdued Goliath and the Philistines; a king who united a nation; a poet who created beautiful, sensitive verse; a loyal servant of God who proposed the great Temple and founded the Messianic line; a schemer, deceiver, and adulterer who freely indulged his very human appetites.
