paperbackMisquoting Truth
A Guide to the Fallacies of Bart Ehrman's "Misquoting Jesus"
by Timothy Paul Jones
"What good does it do to say that the words [of the Bible] are inspired by God if most people have absolutely no access to these words, but only to more or less clumsy renderings of these words into a language? . . .

Mysticism in C. S. Lewis
by David C. Downing
C. S. Lewis is generally thought of as a commonsense Christian, one who offers theology that is understandable and morality that is practical. And yet, when writing about Narnia to a class of fifth graders who asked if it were possible to visit Aslan's country, Lewis replied that the only way he knew of was through death but then added this curious qualifier: "Perhaps some very good people get just ...

The destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 587 BC is the likely setting for the book of Lamentations.

hardcoverThe First Testament
A New Translation

Most translations bend the text toward us. They make the rough places smooth, the odd bits more palatable to our modern sensibilities. In every translation something is gained and something lost.
In The First Testament: A New Translation, John Goldingay interrupts our sleepy familiarity with the Old ...
