In this volume, M. David Litwa employs underused data from the Nag Hammadi codices and early Christian writings to open up new vistas on the creative theologians who invented Christianities in Alexandria prior to Origen and the catechetical school of the third century.

The centuries after the Protestant Reformation brought about a radical reinterpretation of the epistles of St. Paul, disconnected from any historical reality. But Paul operated, during his entire life, as a faithful Pharisee within the Roman Jewish world. In Saint Paul the Pharisee: Jewish Apostle to All Nations, Fr. Stephen De Young surveys Paul’s life and writings, interpreting them within the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church.

Often seen as the author of timeless Christian theology, Paul himself heatedly maintained that he lived and worked in history's closing hours. His letters propel his listeners into two ancient worlds, one Jewish, one pagan. The first was incandescent with apocalyptic hopes, expecting God through his messiah to fulfill his ancient promises of redemption to Israel. The second teemed with ancient actors, not only human but also divine: angry superhuman forces, jealous demons, and hostile cosmic gods.

The book of Romans is the Bible’s most comprehensive summary of salvation by Jesus Christ.

This daily devotional lets you spend a year in Romans with Dr. R.C. Sproul as your guide.

This creative approach makes it easy to share the gospel and conveys a message far more valuable than a mere one million dollars: how to find the riches of everlasting life.

David Bentley Hart undertook this new translation of the New Testament in the spirit of "etsi doctrina non daretur", "as if doctrine is not given". Reproducing the texts' often fragmentary formulations without augmentation or correction, he has produced a pitilessly literal translation, one that captures the texts' impenetrability and unfinished quality while awakening listeners to an uncanniness that often lies hidden beneath doctrinal layers.

Mainstream Christianity has many rules and doctrines a Christian is compelled to believe and follow in order to meet the Church's requirements for salvation and eternal life. Does being a Christian have to be so complicated? Is following Jesus a demanding task? Jesus left behind a simple and straightforward teaching for all of us. The Letters in Red looks directly at the recorded words of Jesus. Looking at the four canonical Gospels, you’ll review the earthly ministry of Jesus and find the way a Christian should live according to Christ. If you’re a Christian who wants to learn Jesus’...
