Childrens Stories Of The Bible
$15.49
The Bible’s children’s stories are often a child’s first glimpse of God. Recent surveys show that a high percentage of Christian adults still believe these childhood stories to be literally true. But most believers have never heard the adult versions of these stories with their additional detail and background, information that not only enhances their validity but also reveals new insight into the character of God. And for non-believers who’ve dismissed them as fairy tales or fables, this information provides logical reasons to reconsider their decision and open their hearts to God once again. Here, then, are the adult versions of the Bible’s children’s stories, actual occurrences of God’s earliest revelation of Himself to man. For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope (Romans 15:4).

Render Unto Caesar
$28.99Add to cartThe revered Bible scholar and author of The Historical Jesus explores the Christian culture wars–the debates over church and state–from a biblical perspective, exploring the earliest tensions evident in the New Testament, and offering a way forward for Christians today.
Leading Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan, the author of the pioneering work The Historical Jesus, provides new insight into the Christian culture wars which began in the New Testament and persist strongly today.
For decades, Americans have been divided on how Christians should relate to government and lawmakers, a dispute that has impacted every area of society and grown more rancorous over the past forty years. But as Crossan makes clear, this debate isn’t new; it can be found in the New Testament itself, most notably in the tensions between Luke-Acts and Revelations.
In the texts of Luke-Acts, Rome is considered favorably. In the book of Revelations, Rome is seen as the embodiment of evil in the world. Yet there is an alternative to these two extremes, Crossan explains. The historical Jesus and Paul, the earliest Christian teachers, were both strongly opposed to Rome, yet neither demonized the Empire.
Crossan sees in Jesus and Paul’s approach a model for Christians today that can be used to cut through the acrimony and polarization roiling our society and dividing us.
