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,...

Explore Judeo-Christian beginnings and theological foundations through this in-depth study of the first five books of the Bible. Make the journey with Moses and the Israelites through the desert to grasp more fully the reality of the Gospels.

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.

Quienes fueron Lucas y Juan? Despues de la resurreccion de Cristo, su mensaje de salvacion comenzo a propagarse fuera de Jerusalen. El Evangelio de Lucas quiere comunicar ese mensaje a toda la humanidad.

The author of the Book of Revelation, who identified himself as John, offered Christians the hope and encouragement they needed during a time of persecution by writing a book coded with signs and symbols familiar to his audience yet unfamiliar to the ruling Romans. In writing his book, John used apocalyptic images, symbols, and language. These signs or symbols must be interpreted in their proper literary form and not taken literally. 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...
