Every religion claims divine authorship for its "holy book." But when, one asks whether the claims to divine authorship are supported by history, archeology and sound scholarship, the answer is usually a resounding "no!" But, is this the case with the Bible? Is the Bible simply another book mixing history and historical fiction? Is the Bible mythology or Divine revelation? This small booklet brings together the facts of history, archeology, cosmology...

Kings and Chronicles cover the era of Israel's kings, which spans almost four centuries. Kings picks up with the last days of David, while Chronicles commences with the death of Saul, Israel's first king. Chronicles follows only the Davidic dynasty; references to Israel's kings occur only as a necessary part of the narrative. The writers of Kings and Chronicles had different objectives. The writer of Chronicles intended to encourage disheartened Jews...

The overall theme of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon is succinctly stated in Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Concisely put, to know God is what knowledge means and such understanding should prompt fearful awe of Him. In his early years, Solomon's son learned that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom...

First and Second Samuel trace the lives of three Jewish men in the eleventh century B.C.: Samuel, the last of the judges and the first of the prophets; Saul, the first of the kings, but rejected by God; and David, the beloved shepherd-king. Hannah, whose name means grace, "asked of the Lord" (the meaning of Samuel's name) and received a male child who selflessly served the Lord's people his entire life. Saul's name means "asked for," but he was not,...

Many Christians have read the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations, but few (including myself, until recently) have made these a topic of thorough study. Some contend that the prophetic narrative of Jeremiah and its epilogue, Lamentations, have Jewish historical significance only and no application for the Church today. Others choose to merely, skim these texts because their "doom and gloom" format is distressing, they may glean little from these books...

The author has not avoided issues and has included thorough research both from Church history and the original language of the New Testament. The section dealing with the objections to the head covering reveals the desperate attempts that have been made in recent times to avoid the clear implications of the 1 Corinthians...

In Moses' day the Israelites failed to obtain God's rest in Canaan because of disbelief (Heb. 4:4-6). Under Joshua's leadership, the Israelites did enter the land and after seven years of conquest obtained God's rest, but then failed to secure their inheritance in faith after receiving it. Consequently, the rest Jehovah had for them was never fully realized and, in time, was lost. The writer of Hebrews uses their failure as an exhortation, "Let us...

The whole Bible is an expression of divine truth. Our understanding of that truth is not gained by the private interpretation of any one particular Scripture (2 Pet. 1:20), but rather through the guidance of the Holy Spirit in comparing Scripture with Scripture (1 Cor. 2:13). By reviewing the whole of Scripture, we are able to answer with a high degree of confidence such questions as: Does God have a future plan to bless the Jewish nation of Israel?...

World religion is an exhaustive system of doings apart from God's truth and God's enablement. How does world religion obscure divine truth, thus preventing man from personally knowing God? What general trends are consistently found in humanized religion? What advantage does biblical Christianity have over the religions of the world? Why should I trust Jesus Christ alone to secure eternal life? These questions and many others will be posed and rationally...

The twelve Minor Prophets chiefly addressed God's covenant people between the ninth and fifth centuries B.C. One striking feature of their prophecies is how often expressions of God's grace and affection are embedded within scathing denunciations of Jewish stubborn waywardness. Joel's prophetic indictment concisely summarizes God's overall plan to restore the Jewish nation, to judge the wicked, and to establish Messiah's kingdom in the future. Scripture...

“Nexus” speaks of a connection, which links two or more things together. The Evil Nexus investigates seven ways that Christians can, often unwittingly, be unnaturally linked with the devil to accomplish his wicked agenda. Paul sharply rebuked believers in Galatia for their destructive conduct towards each other (Gal. 5:15). Regrettably, this onslaught continues to this day. The Christian community is the only army on earth, which regularly permits...

Numbers records the wilderness experience of God's covenant people, who are moving towards receiving the promises of God in Canaan, despite their failures and unbelief. It is a humbling story as far as man is concerned, but also a blessed and beautiful account of God's exhaustless patience and mercy, as He works to refine His people. Deuteronomy has more occurrences of the expression "the Lord our God" than any other book in the Bible. The frequency...
