Prof Lennox focuses on the areas of evolutionary theory, the origins of life and the universe, and the concepts of mind and consciousness to provide a detailed and compelling introduction to the science and religion debate.

O ataque terrorista cometido contra israelenses no dia 7 de outubro de 2023 entrou para a história como o pior ato de violência contra os judeus desde o Holocausto. No dia seguinte, em vez de condenação total do ato, o mundo testemunhou uma prova da desordem moral do Ocidente no século XXI: nas universidades, nas ruas e na imprensa, as pessoas tomaram partido não dos judeus, mas de seus assassinos. Como isso aconteceu? Por que tantos membros das elites educadas deram de ombros diante do pior pogrom antissemita em quase 80 anos? Por que “antifascistas” se aproximaram dos fascistas do Hamas?

In un tempo in cui la tecnologia domina le nostre vite e spesso ci allontana da ciò che conta davvero, la storia di Carlo Acutis appare come una luce semplice ma potente. Non è la storia di un eroe irraggiungibile, ma di un ragazzo normale che ha scelto di vivere in modo straordinario. La sua esistenza terrena fu breve, durò solo quindici anni, dal 1991 al 2006. Eppure in quel lasso di tempo apparentemente minuscolo, Carlo riuscì a condensare un insegnamento capace di attraversare i decenni e di parlare con straordinaria chiarezza alle nuove generazioni.

What if Jesus Himself walked you through the most misunderstood book in the Bible — and showed you it was never about the end of the world, but the unveiling of His face? After the manger. After the miracles. After the cross. There is a throne — and a Lamb standing in the center of it as though He had been slain, holding a scroll that no one in heaven or earth could open. Until He did. In Revelation with Jesus, the final book of Scripture is retold through the voice of Christ — the Alpha and Omega who dictated the vision, who walks among the seven lampstands, and who rides out of an ...

Angels are not what you think. What most people believe about angels did not come from Scripture. It came from culture. Soft images. Harmless figures. Comforting ideas that feel right but say nothing about what is actually there. The Bible does not describe gentle symbols. It reveals formidable beings that operate with purpose inside a structured, unseen world that most people never stop to question. Angels of the Bible pulls back that veil. Grounded entirely in Scripture, this book strips away assumption, tradition, and distortion to reveal what the biblical text actually says about angels...

As the adopted son of two cult leaders, Benjamin Risha was raised to someday assume a place of leadership in the Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation with the Bible, and his parents’ interpretation of it, as his guide.
