Showing results for "writers" in Bibles & Bible Study

A method of interpretation—a hermeneutic—is indispensable for understanding Scripture, constructing theology, and living the Christian life, but most contemporary hermeneutical systems fail to acknowledge the principles and practices of the biblical writers themselves. Christians today cannot employ a truly biblical view of the Bible unless they understand why the prophets and apostles interpreted Scripture the way they did.

In Egypt to Canaan, John Ritchie traces the epic journey of the Israelites from their redemption by blood all the way to the promised land. These incidents in Israel's history are illustrative pictures, or "types" (in the book of Hebrews they are called patterns, figures, and shadows), from which God will teach us important spiritual lessons if we are willing to learn them.

In Lucifer's mind, there are legions of demons bound to his will. His will is to unleash the hell humans have created with all their wrongs on earth so that everyone gets their due. His rue shall be done come kingdom come. His will is to right all wrongs including his own. To return to heaven and to make heaven a place on earth. After all, he's not just the Lord of Hell, he's also been given dominion over earth.

Christ as seen in the Offerings is a classic work by RF Kingcote which takes up in a simple way some of the offerings mentioned in Leviticus - a book which is commonly passed over as if it were not relevant to us today, but which is full of rich typical teaching.

In Elijah, Hamilton Smith traces the major events of the life of Elijah, the Prophet of God, with all the highs and lows in his work as a prophet. Elijah knew only too well the inadequacies of his own humanity - he was a man who was "subject to like passions as we are". But Elijah knew the living God, was conscious of His presence, and was aware that prayer brought him into contact with the greatest power in the universe.

There are a number of wonderful people who contributed in countless ways to my journey in writing this book. My gratitude goes to my family, who shared my time and provided love and support (my wonderful children, Daniel, Tinysha, and Bernadette, as well as their mom), and of course to a God who gives you an assignment that is bigger than you are. He knows you better than we know ourselves.

With the current "soft disclosure" of UFO/UAP activity by governments across the world and the explosion of television programs on ancient alien astronauts, ghost hunting, and cryptids, there has been a significant impact to the Christian faith. The church of Jesus Christ can remain silent no longer. This book addresses these paranormal activities from a Biblical worldview, giving much needed answers.
