Israel in Transition 2 is the second in a two-volume work addressing some of the historical problems relating to the early history of Israel, from its first mention around 1200 BCE to the beginnings of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. During this four century transition period Israel moved from a group of small settlements in the Judean and Samarian hill country to the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah, occupying much of the land on the west side of the Jordan.

The present volume engages with the relevant texts. These include various inscriptions, such as the Tel Dan inscription and...

The Christian church hides a multitude of secrets; it is, after all, a mysterious religion. For instance, what if Jesus did not start Christianity? What if Paul, who knew Jesus only through visions, created it? In Cover-Up, author and lay minister Lawrence Goudge disputes the Christian theology that has dominated the world for millennia.

In this first installment of his "Biblical Sense" series, Brad Miller takes you on a read-along journey through the opening book of the Bible - one filled with tragic intra-familial strife, thrilling grain shortages, miraculous feats of precipitation, and produce-hawking serpents. A world of awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping discovery awaits, if you can get past that dud of an opening chapter. Seriously. Who'd have thought that creating the universe could be so dull?

In this second installment of the "Biblical Sense" series, we follow the Israelites out of Egypt and into forty years of sun-drenched famine. The sequel's always a bit darker than the original, and Exodus is no exception - it's the Empire Strikes Back of the Pentateuch, if you will, except instead of Imperial Forces and the Dark Side of the Force we have Egyptian chariots and a golden cow. Aside from that it's pretty much the same thing. They had manna on Hoth, didn't they?

In this third and most painful installment of the "Biblical Sense" series, you learn everything you've always wanted to know about being a Levite priest. Been dying to know how to build your own tabernacle, treat a leprous patch of skin, or atone for accidental homicide? We've got the answers right here, down to the cubit, ointment, and unblemished ram. Lots of unblemished rams, actually. Not to spoil the ending, but few of them make it out of Leviticus alive. Even fewer make it out with their intestines.

..".I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth." (1 Timothy 3:15)

In the 1950's and 60's, a spiritual war was waged within churches of Christ. At issue were fundamental questions of authority and church governance that are still relevant today:

• How is Bible authority established and applied.
• Can churches build and fund human institutions through which they perform their work?
• Is the "sponsoring church" arrangement...
