Reconsidering Biblical Metaphors for Atonement
by Brad Vaughn

From the beginning of Genesis we encounter a vaulted dome above the earth, a "firmament," like the ceiling of a planetarium. Elsewhere we read of the earth sitting on pillars.

What We Miss If We Only Read the Bible
by D. Brent Sandy
Foreword by John H. WaltonLong before the words of the Bible were written, God's communication through the spoken word rang out loud and clear.
