Bolder even than the ambitious books for which Stephen Greenblatt is already renowned, The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve explores the enduring story of humanity's first parents. Comprising only a few ancient verses, the story of Adam and Eve has served as a mirror in which we seem to glimpse the whole long history of our fears and desires, as both a hymn to human responsibility and a dark fable about human wretchedness.

In today's world, we are surrounded by various forms of visual media, such as photo albums, pictures, and videos capturing memories of our loved ones, including children, grandchildren, and friends, that we love to share with others. Similarly, if my beloved heavenly Father had left a photo of His son, Jesus, and His suffering, whom He loved, I would want to see and know everything about it and share it with others.

This is the time for revealing and understanding the mysteries of God that have been hidden for centuries and millennia, where things we have been deceived about are brought to the light, where lies are broken, truth is told, and justice prevails. It is the time when history books will be rewritten for those who desire to know the truth.

The Late- Scholastics, as they are called, were the first to engage in a systematic moral analysis of the ethical issues associated with trade and commerce. In doing so, they arrived at solutions that are in many senses indistinguishable from the ideas of many modern free market commentators. In this revised edition, Chafuen bolsters his case by including recent and pertinent material which gives rise to new questions and concerns. Listening this audiobook will force to consider what they understand to be an authentically Christian approach to economic questions.

Ulrich Zwingli was a revolutionary thinker, fiery preacher, and fearless reformer whose impact on the Protestant Reformation was profound yet often overshadowed by his contemporaries. Ulrich Zwingli offers a detailed exploration of Zwingli’s life, tracing his rise from a child in the Swiss Alps to a leader who reshaped the religious and political landscape of Zurich.

The sixteenth-century Reformation is a monumental period in church history. The gospel of Jesus Christ, which had been obscured in darkness for centuries by the Roman Catholic Church, was brought to light by a powerful act of God. The core doctrines of the Christian faith that had been lost were rediscovered in God’s Word by Martin Luther and the Reformers. But sadly, the church today has drifted once again from these bedrock truths back to dangerous error and ignorance.

Paul the Pharisee celebrates not just the New-Paul as Jew but the New-New-Paul as Jewish Pharisee. Granted past Christian, Jewish, and Roman matrices of interpretation, this book explores the historical Paul through the fourth matrix of Evolution. (Think of those matrices as four Russian nesting Matryoshka dolls.) We are not on the Titanic; we are the iceberg. What, then, does Pauline “resurrection” have to do with human evolution?

Across a wide array of religious traditions, temples are sacred, private spaces where observers can worship with other members of their congregation. Temple worship in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly called the Mormon Church, is kept virtually secret from outsiders. And even Mormons themselves might find certain aspects of worship confusing. While respecting the privacy of church members, Jonathan A. Stapley's Holiness to the Lord provides an insightful, fresh overview of Latter-day Saints temple worship.

In Why Four Gospels? noted Greek and New Testament scholar David Alan Black concisely and clearly presents the case for the early development of the gospels, beginning with Matthew, rather than Mark. This is much more than a discussion of the order in which the gospels were written. Using both internal data from the gospels themselves and an exhaustive and careful examination of the statements of the early church fathers, Dr. Black places each gospel in the context of the early development of Christianity.

In Readers of the Lost Ark Kevin McGeough explores the different ways people have interpreted and made sense of the Ark from ancient times to the present, in biblical literature, theological discourse, art, popular film, travel souvenirs, toys, faith-healing events, and alternative histories. The book recounts stories of people who have sought to find the Ark of the Covenant and examines how it takes on new meanings across the globe.

The Apostolic Fathers is an important collection of writings revered by early Christians but not included in the final canon of the New Testament. Here a leading expert on these texts offers an authoritative contemporary translation, in the tradition of the magisterial Lightfoot version but thoroughly up-to-date.

Jezebel was the most wicked woman in the Bible, a powerful seductress who killed the prophets, led Israel into idolatry and immorality, and emasculated men. In twenty-first-century America, Jezebel is not a person. But it's as if the spirit of Jezebel is alive again today. The influence of the same demonic force is being felt in the massive increase of pornography and sexual temptation, the militant spirit of abortion, the rise of radical feminism, and most importantly, in the attempt to silence prophetic voices.

As a young Methodist circuit preacher, affectionately nicknamed "Little Preacher" by the locals, Liggin navigates the isolated communities and winding dirt roads of the North Georgia mountains in the 1950s. Through a collection of poignant and humorous short stories, we witness the challenges and triumphs of a dedicated young preacher. With vivid detail and heartfelt reflection, Little Preacher paints a touching portrait of a time when faith was steadfast and the road less traveled often led to unexpected blessings.

From 1846 to the present day, the Vatican has maintained quite the same message brought forth from Heaven by different messengers across time and across vast distances and continents. This message echoes the gravest of admonitions and calls mankind to convert and find refuge through the knowledge of the truth, which today threatens the very basis of world peace...

This book examines the origins of the evil creator idea chiefly in light of early Christian biblical interpretations. It is divided into two parts. In Part I, the focus is on the interpretations of Exodus and John. Firstly, ancient Egyptian assimilation of the Jewish god to the evil deity Seth-Typhon is studied to understand its reapplication by Phibionite and Sethian Christians to the Judeo-catholic creator. Secondly, the Christian reception of John 8:44 (understood to refer to the devil's father) is shown to implicate the Judeo-catholic creator in murdering Christ.
