Quem era esse homem que provocava verdadeiras revoluções por onde passava? Quais eram suas credenciais? Quem eram seus pais? Onde nasceu? Como foi educado?

In order to understand God’s Word more completely and effectively we must have our spiritual eyes opened. This “opening of spiritual eyes” involves correctly understanding and discerning the different symbols and figures of speech that God has employed in the revelation of his Word. The Bible is radically different from all other books in the world. God has divinely preserved the Bible for centuries and despite the fact that powerful leaders throughout the centuries have tried to destroy it, it is still the number one best seller! No other book comes close to the number and variety of...

Two short letters from Paul. Two completely different situations. Both more urgent than they first appear. The first is addressed to Titus, a young leader trying to hold firm in one of the most corrupt societies of his day. The second is an apology letter to Philemon on behalf of Onesimus, a runaway slave who had stolen from his master, fled to Rome, and somehow found his way to Paul. Whatever the circumstances of that meeting, Onesimus walked away a changed man. Writing from prison, Paul asked Philemon to receive him back, not as property, but as a beloved brother. In the Roman world, that...

Come away to ancient Jerusalem in the time of King Solomon - a city of great splendor and great squalor, of many gods and goddesses, of paupers and kings.

The most senseless violence and the most exquisite wisdom. All are joined together in Alexander Kuprin's brilliant Sulamyth.

Men have debated, discussed, and even denied who Jesus truly is. But who really is this Jesus, anyway? Was He just a good man? Was He simply another charismatic and influential religious teacher?

This volume answers those and other questions that will edify you and strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ. It looks at His many attributes and presents the evidence of Jesus Christ being exactly whom He claims to be--the Messiah, the Only Savior of the world.

Il Cantico dei Cantici è considerato uno dei testi più enigmatici e controversi della Bibbia: è un componimento poetico millenario, scritto probabilmente nel IV secolo a. C.
