In quietly dazzling language, Women Clothed with the Sun engages ninety women from the Old and New Testaments, the inconspicuous as well as the more prominent: Eve, Lot’s wife, Zipporah, Miriam, Judith, Ruth, Bathsheba, Mary, Elizabeth, Martha, the woman at the well, the wife of Pilate, the women of Jerusalem, and others. Without a feminist axe to grind in the foreground, without pretension or piety, but fearlessly and enthusiastically, Dana Littlepage Smith has imaginatively entered into each woman’s life, by turns boldly, delicately, sensuously, intelligently, always skillfully.

“This book is . . . my personal search ‘for the face of the Lord.’” –Benedict XVI In this bold, momentous work, the Pope––in his first book written as Benedict XVI––seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent “popular” depictions and to restore Jesus’ true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and incites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith. From Jesus of Nazareth: “. . . the great question that will be with us throughout this entire book: But what has Jesus really brought, then, if he has not brought world peace, universal prosperity, and a better world? What has he brought? The answer is very simple: God. He has brought God! He has brought the God who once gradually unveiled his countenance first to Abraham, then to Moses and the prophets, and then in the wisdom literature–the God who showed his face only in Israel, even though he was also honored among the pagans in various shadowy guises. It is this God, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the true God, whom he has brought to the peoples of the earth. He has brought God, and now we know his face, now we can call upon him. Now we know the path that we human beings have to take in this world. Jesus has brought God and with God the truth about where we are going and where we come from: faith, hope, and love.”

Whereas most students of the Bible have long held that some form of humanism or universalist religion would catapult the Antichrist to world power, this book systematically proves the biblical case for an Islamic Antichrist.

After more than a century of debate about the significance of imperial cults for the interpretation of Revelation, this is the first study to examine both the archaeological evidence and the Biblical text in depth. Friesen argues that a detailed analysis of imperial cults as they were practiced in the first century CE in the region where John was active allows us to understand John's criticism of his society's dominant values. He demonstrates the importance of imperial cults for society at the time when Revelation was written, and shows the ways in which John refuted imperial cosmology through his use of vision, myth, and eschatological expectation.

The book of Revelation contains great and important prophecies about the end of timesand significantly, about our redemption. But what should we be watching for? What are the signs of the fulfillment of these end-time prophecies, and what scriptural evidence is there to support what we may see? The Revelation 12 Sign explains how a major sign in the heavens will occur in September 2017 during the two-day feast of trumpets called Yom Teruah, which is also known as the hidden day. God will reveal this sign in the heavens for all to see, and it is foretold in Revelation 12:1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. This marks the prophetic birth of the corporate body of Christ known as the Church, and with this birth will follow the prophetic marriage of Christ and the churchthe Messiah and his church will become one flesh. As the days of Revelation draw closer and prophecy is both revealed and fulfilled, it is more important than ever for believers to understand the meaning of the characters, events, and symbols in Revelation as well as the appointed time known as Yom Teruah. The Revelation 12 Sign will elucidate powerful evidence supporting both the interpretation of this sign as well as how God desires his saints to be aware of what is to come.
