In The Mashiah, the author delves into the ancient prophecies of the Tanakh, seeking to understand exactly what the Biblical authors were predicting. Building upon a foundation of deep study and prayer, Mark Stouffer examines the Tanakh's messianic prophecies, contemplating whether or not they foretell the life and mission of Jesus. Please join him on this journey of discovery. Some of the questions we will consider in The Mashiah include: 1. Did the prophets give any indication that there would be two comings of the Messiah? 2. Why did Daniel predict that the Messiah would be killed?

Are you blending tradition into stories until they become something the biblical authors never wrote? Are you reading the Bible to confirm what ...

Imagine if someone who had never heard of Judaism or Christianity read the Old Testament. How could the relationship between God and humanity possibly be understood? In Joseph's Bones, Segal approaches the Bible from this fresh perspective—one framed by the story of the Israelites' fidelity to Joseph—and finds something an account of the human condition that reads like an existential novel about the struggle of mankind against the unpredictable and often unwarranted wrath of God. This is a rarity in Biblical interpretation—brilliant and rigorously argued, "a work of stunning originality."

When I tell you the Bible is your biography, I am actually saying that you are God, and I mean it. We are told in the 82nd psalm: "I say, 'You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any prince.'" So I mean exactly what the psalmist said: that you are gods. But man has such a strange concept of the word "God".
