THE EXCITING TRUTH ABOUT THE END-TIMES


Book Description

The prophets of old warned that certain "key" end-time prophecies wouldn't be revealed until "the time of the end." For centuries, scholars have curiously wandered through a valley of endless supposition, hoping to stumble upon a proper understanding of "end-time" events. Hence, much of our teaching about the "latter days" is not strongly supported by scripture! Well, finally, the "the time of the end" has come! Today, we can scripturally prove the answers to questions like: - Will the Rapture of the Church occur before, during, or after "The Great Tribulation Period?" - Will the "Beast" really be a man? - Will the "Door of Salvation" still be open when the tribulation period ends? - Who or what are the "two-hundred million killer horsemen" in John's vision? - Is our interpretation of end-time prophecy "emotionally obscured?" The scripturally sound answers to these questions will likely surprise you!




The Language of God

Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?




Revelations


Book Description

A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.
