The Bible is ever ancient and ever new--a compilation of many books from unique periods of antiquity that makes it "a library within a library." As the most revered of Christian texts, the Bible is the best known and most sold, but perhaps the least understood book in the world. Father William A. Anderson lays groundwork for the reader to understand the historical and cultural contexts, "hear" the oral traditions, and "meet" the writers of each book of the Bible.

After the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, the Christian message began to spread to areas outside of Jerusalem. The gospel of Luke addresses Jesus' message of salvation to all of humanity.

Rev. Anderson asserts that though this gospel addresses all humanity, we will find in God's Word here that Luke has a special concern for all outcasts: "the poor, the sick, sinners, women, foreigners, and conquerors. He writes a gospel filled with compassion and mercy for the downtrodden."

Jesus' message is also for the whole of our being: physical, emotional, and spiritual. With Rev. Anderson,...

They symbolize a world in spiritual, not physical, turmoil. The Book of Revelation: Hope in the Midst of Persecution attempts to break John's code...
