Ancient Christian Texts
by Origen
Translated by Thomas P. Scheck
Edited by Christopher A. HallOrigen of Alexandria (185-254), one of the most prolific authors of antiquity and arguably the most important and influential pre-Nicene Christian theologian, was a man of deep learning and holiness of life.

Edited by Herman J. Selderhuis
"I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? "My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth."

A Biblical Theology of Spiritual Adultery
New Studies in Biblical Theology

Belonging has never come easy to me.
Growing up, there was my mutated national identity to deal with—my not-quite-American, not-quite-Indonesian soul, restless in both countries. Later, when I came out as a celibate gay Christian, I found I didn't fit into the church as easily as I used to. I've often wondered what it ...

For many Christians, the book of Revelation inspires confusion and fear. It's seen as a coded screenplay for the end times, or it's just too strange to understand.

Revelation is one of the richest texts in Scripture ...
