Outline: The essays presented in this volume challenge commonly held assumptions about the prophetic books from Hosea to Malachi, also known as the Minor Prophets, the Book of the Twelve, or merely the Twelve.

Society of Biblical Literature Symposium Series No. 35
The recent publication of the long lost Gospel of Judas, with its remarkable portrayal of Judas Iscariot as the disciple closest to Jesus, provides a fitting occasion to reconsider the figure of Judas as presented in ancient texts and traditions.1 Typically Judas has been demonized in Christian sources as the quintessential traitor, the disciple who betrayed his master for the infamous thirty p…
Gnosticism was a wide-ranging religious movement of the first millennium CE—with earlier antecedents and later flourishings—whose adherents sought salvation through knowledge and personal religious experience. Gnostic writings offer striking perspectives on both early Christian and non-Christian thought. For example, some gnostic texts suggest that god should be celebrated as both mother an…
Outline: Recent studies in the Holy Land have produced an evergrowing body of facts about the people, land, and customs, of the Old and New Testament world. Young's Bible Dictionary cuts through the layers of time to present those facts in light of the timeless truths of a timeless book, the Bible.
Outline: When missionaries and pastors minister to people from different cultural and social backgrounds, they invariably experience tension and conflict. To reduce this tension and improve the quality of their ministries, they should study Ministering Cross-Culturally. Marvin K.

Outline: As striking and dramatic as any conversion experience recorded in history are the words of Blaise Pascal found sewn into the lining of his jacket by a servant after his death: "From about half-past ten in the evening until about half-past twelve - FIRE. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and scholars. God of Jesus Christ." Known as the memorial, these w…
Outline: Of all the books of the Bible, few are as fascinating or as bewildering as Revelation. Its images grip the imagination: four grim horsemen, the Antichrist, the ten-horned beast, the ultimate battle at Armageddon, and, of course, 666, the "mark of the beast," variously interpreted to signify everything from Hitler and Kruschchev to credit cards and the Internet. Is the book of Revelatio…
Outline: Christianity Confronts Culture is a practical guide to effective communication in the crosscultural setting - which exists in fact when any one person meets another.

Overview : Dunia saat ini sarat dengan pragmatisme dan upaya pemajuan diri manusia. Di tengah-tengah "hikmat" dunia yang dangkal serta cepat berlalu dan berganti ini, kita perlu menyimak kembali ajaran John Calvin yang digalinya dari halaman-halaman Kitab Suci tentang hal-hal yang bernilai langgeng.
