My purpose for writing a book of Genesis commentary for all readers is to help kids and grown-ups understand the stories in the Bible better. Genesis is a very important book that tells us about the beginning of the world and the first people. The commentary will explain the stories in Genesis in a way that is easy to understand, using simple words and examples that a ten-year-old can grasp.By writing this commentary, the author wants to show how the stories in Genesis can teach important lessons and help you think about big questions. You can learn about things like how the world was created, why there is good and evil, and how we all should treat one another. The commentary will help everyone see the true meaning behind the stories and how they can be relevant to our lives today.This commentary was written to encourage conversation and discussion among readers. It helps to create a space where kids and grown-ups can talk about the stories, ask questions, and share their own thoughts and ideas. By doing this, the author hope to make Genesis more engaging and enjoyable for everyone, fostering a deeper understanding of the Bible and its teachings.

Michael A. Milton uncovers the treasures of one of the Bible's regularly overlooked books in this pastoral treatment of Leviticus. God's call changed everything for the Israelites. Amid the vast, severe wilderness landscape of the Sinai region, in sun-scorched sorrow and disappointment over a recent national sin - the creation and worship of an idol of smelted jewelry - life abruptly changes. With the first line of Leviticus, "And the Lord called," God interrupts time and space, regret and reason, futility and hope. He reveals the pattern of the gospel: the holiness of God, the problem of human sin, God's plan of salvation, His call to holiness through His gracious provision. He shows a way for sinful humans to live in the presence of a holy God. Leviticus for modern-day Christians This call doesn't just affect the ancient Israelites - Milton shows how Leviticus still speaks to Christ's followers today. This book of the law points consistently to Jesus, the fullness and fulfilment of every antitype. It reveals to us in stark terms the abhorrence of sin, and the barrier it creates between mankind and God. Beginning with a helpful overview of Leviticus, and after providing some beneficial information about its title, authorship, time and biblical context, Milton tackles the book in four sections: Called to Worship (chapters 1-7) Called to Ministry (chapters 8-10) Called to Purity (chapters 11-16) Called to Holiness (chapters 17-27) Throughout, we see how this call applies not only to the ancient Israelites, but also to us. Get into this fascinating book Approaching God will be excellent for personal bible study, or for a pastor or small group leader working through the book.

Der Jalkut Schimoni ist ein Sammelwerk rabbinischer Auslegungen zur gesamten Hebräischen Bibel. Unerforscht ist, nach welchen Kriterien die Auslegungen ausgewählt wurden und ob das Werk als umfassendes Nachschlagewerk für exegetische Fragen, zur Verbindung von Bibelauslegung in Talmud und Midrasch oder zur Reform der rabbinischen Auslegungstradition konzipiert wurde. Die Übersetzung des Werkes ist ein erster Schritt, diese Fragen zu beantworten.

When unexpected events cause us to question what we have previously "known," do we stop and reexamine the foundation and content of our own beliefs and values? Do we seek to learn and separate "truth" and "facts" (i.e., reality) from the "knowledge" that we acquired simply by rote memorization or that we thought "felt right" -- what we wanted to be true. The most profound truth is acquired by correcting our mistakes or errors. This is especially relevant to the most crucial of life's concerns: our spiritual health and relationship with our Maker. At times, we need to be reminded of, reeducated in, or encouraged in the basic foundations of life itself.Come, take a journey through God's inspired message to mankind and experience what God has done and seen taking place over time. He welcomes and desires your accompanying presence, as well as your thoughts and questions, as you journey with Him through His story with His beloved mankind.

As the late Coy Roper taught Critical Introduction to the Old Testament year after year, he improved and expanded the notes that he shared with his undergraduate students.

The heart of his work is a thoughtful and engaging summary of each Old Testament book. The Old Testament: A Study Guide offers seasoned insights and connections to numerous essential resources for the effective study of the Hebrew Bible.

This book comprises an expository and experiential study of Psalm 73 focussing on how the Christian believer can deal with doubts and distresses in the Christian life. The Rev.

Actualmente el ambiente que se percibe alrededor del mundo puede ser muy oscuro, lo que ha detonado que muchas personas pierdan la fe en el Senor Jesus y decidan hacer caso a los mensajes malignos que les envia Satanas.Estas circunstancias tambien tratan de afectar a los ministros, ya que cada dia tenemos que enfrentarnos a nuevas batallas tanto en nuestra congregacion como en nuestra vida personal.

"But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?" The book of Job is challenging. Its Hebrew is often obscure, its length and subject matter are intimidating, and its meaning has been debated throughout the history of biblical interpretation. In this commentary, Duane A. Garrett presents a fresh argument for the book's meaning. Job demonstrates the inability of Wisdom, as a theological tradition, to solve the problem of evil. Without rejecting Wisdom, it shows that only God can truly deal with evil. God's answer to evil is found only in Christ, who is anticipated in the book of Job. The Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series is a premiere biblical commentary rooted in the original text of Scripture. Each volume includes historical and literary insights and addresses exegetical, pastoral, and theological concerns, giving readers a full understanding of the text and how to apply it to everyday life.

This book is a meticulously researched and thought-provoking study that delves into the analysis and comparison of rituals in two distinct settings: the ancient Book of Leviticus and traditional Malagasy culture on the island of Madagascar. Author Olivier Randrianjaka invesigates why Malagasy Christians connect with Leviticus despite the apathy of the Western church. As this book demonstrates, the key unifying themes are sin, purification, and sacrifice. Profound parallels emerge between Levitical rituals (such as postpartum purification and the Day of Atonement) and Malagasy rituals (such as taboo violation, postpartum purification, and the New Year royal bath). The study highlights the universal relevance of sin, purification and sacrifice rituals, inviting reflection on their significance in diverse cultural and religious contexts."This is a remarkable book that represents a groundbreaking exploration of the intricate connections between Leviticus and Malagasy traditional rituals. The author¿s meticulous analysis and profound insights into the themes of sin, sacrifice and atonement offer invaluable knowledge for Christian readers. I highly recommend this work to anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of Madagascar¿s religion, particularly its rich tapestry of traditional rituals."¿Dr. Razivelo Mariette, Lutheran Faculty of Theology (SALT), Madagascar"Rituals for purification play a significant role in most cultures, and this book contributes to the understanding of these phenomena in general. It provides insight into these rituals in Malagasy society and their description in the Book of Leviticus in the Bible. The book focuses on religious praxis, as described in texts and demonstrated in life. Every person will encounter these phenomena, and here is a tool to grasp their meaning."¿Magnar Kartveit, Emeritus Professor of Old Testament at VID Specialized University, Stavanger, Norway

The Babylonian attack on Jerusalem in 587 BCE forced upon the Israelite survivors the realization that Yahweh, one of the gods they had venerated, was an overwhelming presence in their affairs. The attack on their city had been devastating, overturning virtually the only world they knew. Such a disaster had been prophesied by several prophets of Yahweh who had warned them against worshipping other gods than Yahweh and ignoring his commandments. These prophets reminded them that in the ancient past Yahweh had established a special relationship with their people, binding them to himself through a covenant in which Yahweh promised to protect and lead their people while they were to honor him as their only god and keep his commandments. The community of survivors living as exiles in Babylon, and their heirs who would return to Judah after 539 BCE, believed that Yahweh had caused the destruction of their society because of the refusal of their people to abide by the terms of the ancient covenant. Indeed, they saw it as an act of Yahweh's love, an appeal for them to honor him as their only god so that he could show them his favor. Anthropologist Robert Canfield examines the process by which this transformation in religious understanding took place, describing it as an example of how human beings imaginatively imbue their affairs with moral significance.

El propósito de este libro es mostrar la historia, doctrina y la relación profética entre el Antiguo y el Nuevo Testamento. La conclusión es que, en su esencia, desde el Génesis hasta Malaquías, el Antiguo Testamento es una sombra del Nuevo Testamento. Vamos a reducir esto a términos simples; el tema de toda la Biblia es el deseo y el plan de Dios para tener una relación con nosotros. En el Antiguo Testamento Dios prepara un pueblo a través de los cuales un Mesías vendrá. En el Nuevo Testamento, el deseo y el plan se cumplen en el nacimiento, vida, muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo. Para simplificar aún más, el tema del Antiguo Testamento es: el Mesías ha de venir, trayendo salvación. El tema del Nuevo Testamento es ¡el Mesías está aquí, trayendo salvación!"Mi fe creció a medida que leí el libro de John y me di cuenta de una manera más profunda de cómo las Escrituras me proporcionan una descripción de la actividad de Dios en toda la Biblia que es coherente, planificada y claro. Vi el carácter amoroso de nuestro Padre en el cielo que ha trabajado para tener una relación con nosotros desde el principio de los tiempos." - Gregg Marutzky (del prólogo)

RUTH: God's Favor with a Caress of TruthA Gentle perspective from the rural side of lifeThe unit of study you hold in your hands describes the way of the life of the farmer in Midwestern states. In the day of the book of Ruth, through the knowledge offered from the Bible is the clear unity of God to a female He loved. We explore the groundwork and learn how God made viable His graft of the lineage of Ruth and Boaz. The son they bore was of Christ's heritage and it was a declaration of the family unity supported by the hand of God. Knowing God had favor for a people group before Christ's birth brings a bond of favor to our hearts. The love of the Father to this region of the world was witnessed by two women of faith in the manner of pursuing Christ as well. The length of the study is simplistic so a small group can gather on a weekend retreat or even an evening commute and a regular expression of time can be adhered to.

Written amid a general sea-change in the way that Old Testament narrative texts are read among many of those who read them in academic contexts, this volume attempts to introduce the reader to a fairly broad range of issues which arise in relation to Kings, in the context of the kinds of issues which arise in relation to biblical narrative in general. Provan attempts to show, in relation to the many issues addressed, why different readers read Kings differently. Reflection on these fundamental issues should enable readers to form their own judgments on the matters under discussion, and to move beyond these to other matters which may be of interest to them.Iain Provan retired as the Marshall Sheppard Professor of Biblical Studies at Regent College. He is the author of The Reformation and the Right Reading of Scripture; Convenient Myths: The Axial Age, Dark Green Religion, and the World that Never Was; and Seriously Dangerous Religion: What the Old Testament Really Says and Why It Matters. He is the founder of the Cuckoos Consultancy and lives in the Vancouver area.

Do you think you know about Noah's Flood: where it occurred; when it occurred; whether it was a natural event; a world flood; and what happened after the flood? Then the answers in this book may surprise you! While there are many flood stories from around the world, this book focuses on Noah's Flood as described in the Book of Genesis from The Old Testament.About 14,700 years ago, as the Earth came out of the ice age, eight-mile-high glaciers in eastern Antarctica began melting and calving into the Indian ocean. The resulting mega-tsunamis traveled northward up the Persian Gulf and through the valley formed by the Tigris-Euphrates river system. Noah, an ancient Sumerian, was carried Noah northwest along the Tigris-Euphrates flood plain into southeastern Turkey. He and his descendants eventually settled in and around ¿anl¿urfa (Urfa), which claims to be Abraham's birthplace. It is located in the northwest corner of the present-day Harran Plain in Turkey. There, Noah and his descendants built monolithic temples to their pantheon of gods.Gobekli Tepe, only recently discovered, overlooks Harran Plain and is considered to be a site of religious temples. It has been dated to be over 13,000 years old (the oldest monolithic structure known). It is from this location that agriculture began 12,000 years ago. Perhaps as Noah's three sons and their descendants migrated; Ham (Africa), Seth (Arabian Peninsula), and Japheth (west into Greece and east into Persia and India), they carried with them the knowledge of agriculture.It is amazing how well the scientific data presented in this book fits with Genesis and ancient stories such as the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh and the older Babylonian epic of Atra-Hasis.If you think you know Noah's story then you should read this book.

My Sheep Hear My Voice is a deductive, rational, expository, and highly unique and informative study of the twenty-third psalm, written by a Christian physician with a fifty-year history of teaching God's Word.

Peace is a gift. One of the most sought-after states of being is peace of mind. People spend a tremendous amount of time and resources searching for the thing that will give them peace in culture and society, which increasingly thrives on disharmony, chaos, and what seems to be unending crisis. But the peace we seek is not found in other people, places, or possessions. The peace we seek is found in Jesus Christ. Our Savior came to bring peace by reconciling us to the Father. He left his peace in us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. He told us how to overcome the world--by seeking peace in him. He Gives You Peace is a devotional of biblical topics on how the peace of God impacts our lives and daily decisions. My prayer is that you will recognize and seek the peace of Jesus Christ as you engage with these devotional studies.Doris Willis A Measure of Grace

Does God's call on your life seem impossible?Have you thought . . .I'm not the one for the job. I don't know how to do what You're asking me to do. It's simply too much.I'm exhausted by my responsibilities. You aren't alone. When God called Moses to lead His people out of slavery, Moses begged God to choose someone else. Who could blame him? The job God had given Moses was massive! It seemed impossible. But God never expected Moses to do it alone. Called by God to an extraordinary, life-changing journey, Moses led a fledgling nation of doubtful and often discontented people to the Promised Land.
