Religion : Bible

Christianity has throughout the ages taught two important truths: God exists, and he constantly communicates his will and his love to his children. Instead of waiting for us to find him, God takes the initiative and reaches out to us. In the Old Testament, he spoke through patriarchs, prophets, and poets. In the New Testament, he spoke through Christ and through Christ's disciples. Whether you call it divine revelation, Holy Scripture, God's Word, or simply the Bible, the message is the same: God cares about us so much that he has given us a book that tells us what he is like and how we can have a loving relationship with him. more...

This substantial contribution to Pentateuch research shows paradigmatically how the politico-geographical concepts from Genesis 14 and the concepts of the theology of promise in Gen 15 are taken up and specifically re-formed in Gen 17 and the final editorial layer. The hypothesis of a basic priestly document is laid to rest for Genesis, and instead, Genesis 17 is acknowledged as the keystone which was created specially for the final compositional systematisation of Genesis as an immediate prelude to the publication of the Torah (approx. 400 BC) and left a lasting mark on the Biblical image of Abraham. more...

From the time George Washington placed his hand upon a Bible and swore the oath to become the first president of the United States, the Jews-and more important, a Jewish homeland-have occupied a crucial place in America's history. The second president of the United States, John Adams, declared toward the end of his life, 'For I really wish the Jews again in Judea an independent nation.' Now internationally renowned Middle East expert and biblical scholar Mike Evans traces the efforts of American Christians to help establish a Jewish State through a 'prophetic memorial,' a declaration presented to five successive American presidents outlining the biblical mandate for a Jewish homeland. Evans describes in fascinating detail the events that led in 1948 to the birth of the nation of Israel. The hatred of the Arab world for the West-and toward America in particular-can be traced entirely to this nation's identification with Israel. America flirts with danger, Evans says, when it accommodates the Arab world merely for the sake of oil. As God said to Abraham, 'I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.' America's prophetic future hangs on the nation's moral vision and clarity. The hostility of Islamic fundamentalists toward America can be explained succinctly, Evans asserts: It is rooted in bigotry, the ancient prejudice against Jews. Yet, says Evans, 'America is cursing what God has blessed (Israel) and blessing what God has cursed (rebuilding Babylon [Iraq]). Does the Bible reveal what will happen to a nation that does this? A thousand percent yes!' more...
