"Scripture is a spring of life-giving, life-altering truth, but when we don't understand how and why it came to us, we end up misusing it."
How did we get the Bible? And why does it matter? History reveals that Scripture can be used for both life-giving and destructive purposes. Discovering the Bible's origins makes all the difference for fostering redemptive interpretation of Scripture. Bringing together both historical criticism and theology, this...

Hallowed is a fresh study of the Lord's Prayer against its Old Testament background. Rather than give an entirely new model for speaking with God, Jesus drew the message of his prayer from the Psalms, the ancient prayer book of God's people. In the Psalms, believers approach God in worship, seek him for life's necessities, confess their sins, and ask for his mercy. Echoing these prayerful voices, Jesus taught a profound lesson in what delights God...

When silent, we allow the enemy to bully us and keep us in bondage. Before purpose can be born or released, there is a process. Purpose Will...

We wouldn't consider letting Isis, Medusa, Pandora, or Persephone slip from our lexicon. To somehow forget the legend of Harriet Tubman, Anne Frank, or Mother Teresa would never cross our minds. And yet when it comes to the stories of Eve and other biblical characters, they are rarely known, barely appreciated, and ostensibly "lost" by most of us not deeply entwined within organized religion. Trapped in patriarchy and theological argument, dismissed...
