In Reformation Women, Rebecca Vandoodewaard introduces listeners to 12 16th-century women who are not as well known today as contemporaries like Katie Luther and Lady Jane Grey. Providing an example to Christians today of strong service to Christ and his church, these influential, godly women were devoted to Reformation truth, in many cases provided support for their husbands, practiced hospitality, and stewarded their intellectual abilities.

The Confessions of St. Augustine is one of the most moving diaries ever recorded of a man's journey to the fountain of God's grace. Writing as a sinner, not a saint, Augustine shares his innermost thoughts and conversion experiences, and wrestles with the spiritual questions that have stirred the hearts of the thoughtful since time began.

For many, the medieval world seems dark and foreign - a miraculous, brutal, and irrational time of superstition and strange relics. The pursuit of heretics, the Inquisition, the Crusades, and the domination of the "Holy Land" come to mind.

El Jesús Judío que Nadie Nos Enseñó revela al Mesías desde sus raíces hebreas, devolviéndolo al contexto cultural, religioso y social en el que vivió, enseñó y transformó vidas. Durante siglos, la imagen de Jesús ha sido filtrada por interpretaciones alejadas de su identidad original. Este libro invita al lector a reencontrarse con Yeshua —su nombre hebreo— como maestro judío, profeta poderoso y guía espiritual, cuya misión cobra un nuevo significado cuando se estudia desde las fuentes más antiguas: la Biblia hebrea, la historia judía del siglo I, la arqueología y la tradición rabínica.

The growth of Christianity in the early centuries of the Common Era is one of the most extraordinary stories in world history. What began with a preaching day laborer and his dozen or so disciples soon grew to be the largest religion in the world, eventually taking over the entire Roman Empire. How did that happen? How was such a movement possible?

Divine Providence is one of the major works of the Enlightenment scientist and religious seer Emanuel Swedenborg. It provides a coherent and satisfying solution to what has been called "the problem of evil": How are God's goodness and power reconcilable with evil's presences in the larger world and in the human mind and heart?

If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness. Cynthia Bourgeault is a masterful guide to Jesus' vision and to the traditional contemplative practices you can use to experience the heart of his teachings for yourself.

New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples...

Refusing to practice a religion foreign to your conscience and belief is the very epitome of what it means to be Protestant. When a tyrannical power forbids a people from practicing according to their own religious belief and conscience, and they do so anyway, even if in secret, they are acting in Protest. James A. Wylie brings the principle that is Protestantism nearer in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ to its beginning. We learn in these pages that there were protesters long before the moniker became universally used following the 16th century.

Jesús de Nazaret fue más que un hombre. Las pruebas lo confirman. Solo hay dos alternativas: Jesús es Dios o no lo es. El objetivo de este audiolibro es ayudarle a decidirse. Pongamos todas las preguntas sobre la mesa: ¿mentía Jesús cuando se declaraba hijo de Dios? ¿Era acaso un loco? ¿Se inventaron otros su mito y lo convirtieron en algo que nunca fue? ¿Manipulación, mito, mentiroso, maniaco o Mesías? No hay más. Pero si descartamos las cuatro primeras, se verá obligado a aceptar la última.

In twelve short chapters, Cynthia Scott highlights key moments in U.S. history–the Pilgrims and Puritans, the Great Awakenings, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Emancipation Proclamation, and more–revealing God’s providence in founding and shaping our nation. Each chapter concludes with a Scripture-based prayer, making history both personal and practical for listeners of every generation.

The Cloud of Unknowing (an anonymous 14th-century Christian mystical text often presented in modern editions with Evelyn Underhill’s introduction/editorial work) is a practical guide to contemplative prayer that teaches the seeker to move beyond discursive thinking and images in order to “know” God by love rather than intellect.

The success of books such as Elaine Pagels’s Gnostic Gospels and Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code proves beyond a doubt that there is a tremendous thirst today for finding the hidden truths of Christianity--truths that may have been lost, buried, or even forbidden by institutional religion over...

Bendita Sea Su Nombre es una adaptación en prosa de un guion “inspirado” escrito por Barbara Oleynick en el año 2000. La obra se basa en los escritos espirituales de María de Jesús de Ágreda, devota monja franciscana nacida en Ágreda, España, conocida como Sor María de Ágreda (1602–1665).

What if we have been missing a whole stage of how the canonical gospels came to be? What if there were a whole raft of prior Jesus narratives, the fragmentary vestiges of which now appear in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? This would explain why these gospels seem over-crowded with incompatible understandings of Jesus ("Christologies")?

The Gospel of Thomas is a lost and rediscovered voice from the earliest days of Christianity—a collection of secret sayings attributed to Jesus that point not to external authority, but to inner revelation. Long excluded from the biblical canon, this text invites the listener into a world where enlightenment comes through self-knowledge and awakening to the divine already within.
