A debate not restricted to the Christian Community alone, but vigorously argued within the Secular realm as well. This book was written to encourage...

The Wisdom Literature of the Bible (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs) is filled with practical principles for everyday life. While some Christians are deterred by the pragmatic character of these matter-of-fact guidelines, they are as integral to God's purposes for His people as the...

This is the second part of a fascinating adventure – a quest to penetrate the veil, to step into another dimension, to learn what is happening in the world of spirits.

Among the countless books already in existence on the attributes of God, why add another? Will it be any better than they? Probably not? Will it say anything truly new? Very doubtful! So why? Well, I do have some things that I want to say, and I will perhaps say at least some of them differently,...

Biblical scholars have often contrasted the exegesis of the early church fathers from the eastern region and “school” of Syrian Antioch against that of the school of Alexandria. The Antiochenes have often been described as strictly historical-literal exegetes in contrast to the allegorical exegesis...

We live in an age in which economic, ecological, and political crises are not the exception, but the rule. The Cold War polarities that shaped an earlier “political exegesis” have been replaced; Bruce Worthington argues that increasingly, crisis is the engine of a global “turbo-capitalism.”...

How do we begin to carry out such a vast task-the examination of three millennia of diverse uses and influences of the biblical texts?
