Ο ΕΡΧΟΜΕΝΟΣ -WILLIAM GRIER. Αυτό το βιβλίο παρουσιάζει με απλά λόγια τη βιβλική διδασκαλία σχετικά με την Δευτέρα Παρουσία και ζητήματα που σχετίζονται με αυτή. Μαζί με τους ορθοφρονούντες χριστιανούς κάθε εποχής, ο συγγραφέας υποστηρίζει ότι η επιστροφή του Κυρίου μας θα είναι προσωπική, ορατή, ξαφνική και απρόσμενη, λαμπρή και θριαμβευτική. Από τις τρεις απόψεις που υπάρχουν δηλαδή τον Χιλιασμό, τον προ-Χιλιασμό και τον α-Χιλιασμό, υποστηρίζει τον τελευταίο ως Βιβλικό και δείχνει ότι έχει διατηρηθεί από μια μεγάλη πλειοψηφία των Πατέρων και των Μεταρρυθμιστών της Εκκλησίας. Σε δύο πολύτιμα κεφάλαια που ασχολούνται με την ερμηνεία της προφητείας, ο ίδιος επισημαίνει ότι η κατά γράμμα άποψη οδηγεί λογικά σε παραλογισμούς και δεν έχει υιοθετηθεί από τους συγγραφείς της Καινής Διαθήκης, οι οποίοι δηλώνουν συγκεκριμένα ότι πολλές από τις προφητείες της Παλαιάς Διαθήκης έχουν εκπληρωθεί, αν και με ένα πνευματικό νόημα … Μια γενική θεώρηση της διδασκαλίας της Καινής Διαθήκης σχετικά με το θέμα, ακολουθείται από μια πιο λεπτομερή ανασκόπηση της θεολογίας των Ευαγγελίων, των Επιστολών και της Αποκάλυψης, όπου ιδιαίτερη προσοχή αφιερώνεται στη σημασία της χιλιετίας στην Αποκάλυψη κεφάλαιο 20. Εδώ είναι ένα βιβλίο που θα ανταμείψει τη μελέτη από εκείνους που προσπαθούν να κατανοήσουν την αλήθεια που είναι βασική για την χριστιανική πίστη και ελπίδα. 110 σελίδες . 10/ 3,00€ (70%)

ΜΙΛΩΝΤΑΣ ΓΙΑ ΑΓΑΠΗ ΚΑΙ ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ -ΑΛΕΞΗ ΤΟΜΑΡΑ 2010
Μιλώντας για αγάπη και αλήθεια – Ένα παράξενο βιβλίο… Δυστυχώς, η αγάπη και αλήθεια που διδάσκονται σε πολλές «τοπικές» εκκλησίες δεν παράγουν αποτελέσματα αλλαγής, ειρήνης, αγιασμού. Πικρίες, σχίσματα, χλιαρότητα, κοσμικότητα, ανοησία, ντροπής πράγματα, βρίσκονται παντού. Οι δυνάμεις του σκότους πολεμούν ασταμάτητα την εκκλησία σε όλα τα επίπεδα. Μερικοί κοιτούν, άλλοι κοιμούνται, άλλοι παίζουν, άλλοι κλαίνε, άλλοι γελάνε, άλλοι φωνάζουν. Μεγάλη τραγωδία. Μετά από τις δυνάμεις του σκότους, πρώτες φταίνε οι ηγεσίες, μετά φταίνε και τα ποίμνια. Αυτή είναι μία αλήθεια που πρέπει να αρχίσει επιτέλους (!) να λέγεται ανοιχτά από όλους που την συνειδητοποιούν. Στενάχωρες ερωτήσεις συχνά ακούγονται εδώ και εκεί: Πώς γίνεται να υπάρχουν «γεννημένοι από τον Θεό» που ενώ οδηγούνται από Το Πνεύμα, να μην χρησιμοποιούνται από τις εκκλησίες; Γιατί τείνουν να σπανίζουν τα αληθινά θαύματα σε πολλές «τοπικές» εκκλησίες; Πού είναι τα (δίκαια) πειθαρχικά μέτρα, αλλά πριν από αυτό, που είναι η ενότητα, η ομοφωνία, οι άνθρωποι «πλήρεις Πνεύματος Αγίου» να προπορεύονται οδηγούμενοι από Το Πνεύμα και εμείς να ακολουθούμε στο παράδειγμά τους; Γενικώς, τι συμβαίνει; Κηρύγματα πολλά, λόγια εντυπωσιακά, έργα άκαρπα, ύποπτες συμπεριφορές, ψεύτικες διδασκαλίες, όλα εκ των οποίων προσθέτουν στην εξάπλωση ενός ανώριμου (και όχι μόνο) Χριστιανισμού που με την σειρά του δημιουργεί κακομαθημένους Χριστιανούς που όλο και αυξάνονται· όλο και πιο πολλοί από αυτούς λαμβάνουν διοικητικές θέσεις στην Εκκλησία (Ησα.3:4-5,12). Ο Θεός τα επιτρέπει όλα, τα επιβλέπει, σιωπά και περιμένει· σε λίγους «αναπαύεται» Το Πνεύμα Του (Α’Πέτ.4:14). Στα κεφάλαια αυτού του βιβλίου θα βρεις αλήθεια, λόγους, απαντήσεις, λύσεις, αλλά και κατευθύνσεις προς αυτά. Με την χάρη Του Θεού, προσπάθησα να αφυπνίσω την Εκκλησία στα «μικρά» και στα «μεγάλα», στα ατομικά και στα ομαδικά, στην πραγματικότητα (της) που η ίδια -θεωρώ το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της- αιώνες τώρα δημιουργεί. Η παγκόσμια Εκκλησία πρέπει να ενωθεί και να μεταρρυθμιστεί εκ νέου ή μάλλον να μεταρρυθμιστεί πρώτα και μετά και να ενωθεί. Ενώ η προηγούμενη Μεταρρύθμιση ήταν μόνο μία αρχή, έκτοτε, πιστεύω λόγω κεκτημένης ταχύτητας, ζήλου, άγνοιας, υπεροψίας, αλαζονείας, βιώνετε πλέον -αν όχι από τους περισσότερους- από πολλούς, ως τελικός προορισμός, ενώ βάσει της Γραφής και της απλής παρατήρησης, προφανώς… αποκλείεται να ήταν! Έπρεπε να την βλέπουμε αλλά και σταθερά να την βιώνουμε ως μία αυξανόμενη τάση προς το θέλημα Του Κυρίου (όπως αυτό βρίσκεται στη Γραφή), τάση που καλούμαστε -πρώτα ατομικά και μετά όλοι μαζί- στη πράξη να συνεχίσουμε, αλλά και να μεταδώσουμε στους επόμενους. Πρέπει όλη η Εκκλησία να ταπεινωθεί και να αποδεχτεί ό,τι ήταν και είναι στην πρόθεση Του Θεού να έχει, να πιστεύει, και να ζει, αν βέβαια θέλει να συνεχίσει να φέρει δικαίως Το Όνομα του Χριστού αλλά και να έχει Τον Δυναμικό Θεό με τις ευλογίες Του στην ζωή της, αλλιώς… ντροπή μας και όχι μόνο.

FINDING YOUR FEET AFTER FUNDAMENTALISM -DARRELL LACKEY 2017
Did you grow up in the world of Christian fundamentalism or evangelicalism? Have you grown uncomfortable in those traditions? Have you contemplated leaving? Or, have you left those worlds and now feel homeless in a religious or spiritual sense? If any of those categories describes you, then this book is for you. Author Darrell Lackey was once where you were or are now. He was pastor of a Southern Baptist church. Raised in the Southern Baptist world, and educated at a Southern Baptist seminary, he knows first-hand what that world is like. In Finding Your Feet After Fundamentalism, Lackey explodes the myths of certainty and “chosen-ness,” deconstructs the end-of-the-world revenge fantasies fundamentalists thrive on, considers the ridiculous things pastors say, calls out fundamentalist idolatry of the Bible, critiques the right-wing’s utter abandonment of Good News, and documents his journey toward reconstructing a healthy faith. Join him on that journey. This book is a summation of his reflections—his reasons—for leaving that world. It’s not a “how-to” book or a purely autobiographical walk down memory lane. It is, rather, an attempt to articulate a way of viewing the Christian life in a way that is helpful rather than toxic. 147 pages. 5€

Unitarian? What’s That? Questions and Answers about a Liberal Religious Alternative -Cliff Reed (Lindsey Press 2018)
As a religion which imposes no creed or dogma on its followers, Unitarianism is not easy to define. This short book introduces readers to Unitarian values and principles by means of a simple question-and-answer format, based on questions that people have actually asked when encountering Unitarians for the first time: questions such as “Where does the word ‘Unitarian’ come from?” … “Are Unitarians Christians?” … “Is there a Unitarian morality?” … “Do Unitarians mix religion with politics?” … “How do Unitarians view sexuality and gender identity?” … and “What do Unitarians think of other faiths?”. The author warns: “This text is not the Unitarian party line, for there is no party line. It does not presume to speak for all Unitarians on any or every issue. It is essentially my own personal perspective as a lifelong Unitarian.” 66 pages. 5 /2,50€ (50%)
THEY NEVER TOLD ME THIS IN CHURCH -GREG DEUBLE 2006
A call to read the Bible with new eyes. There is a consensus among many New Testament scholars that much of what the historical Jesus and his apostles taught has been submerged by an influx of post-biblical tradition. Subtle foreign influences, mostly from pagan Greek philosophy, which neither Jesus nor his first-century followers would recognize or endorse, have obscured the original Gospel as Jesus preached it. Most churchgoers accept without question, unbiblical traditions which they have never seriously investigated. In They Never Told Me This in Church! Greg Deuble invites the reader to a careful re-examination of “the faith once delivered” in the light of the Hebrew heritage which formed the framework of all that Jesus taught in regard to himself and his Gospel mission. From the Foreword: “This does not mean at all that Greg has given up faith in holy Scripture. Far from it. There is nothing trendy or gimmicky in his approach. Rather, he has learned to read the Bible from its own Hebrew perspective, and shedding a large quantity of traditional baggage has made the Bible all the more brilliant and telling. Because he is an honest student of truth, Greg has been rewarded…with unusual insight. He has a knack of getting to the heart of the issues. He has brought in a wealth of modern scholarly support for his argument, and the quotations gleaned from his wide reading are impressive. He adds a pleasing dose of Aussie humour to his writing while he invites us to re-examine all the major issues of biblical theology. The personal warmth of the author and his pastoral touch are evident in all he writes.” They Never Told Me This in Church! will inspire and challenge all who claim devotion to Jesus, and many who are searching for the meaning of his role in history. They will be enabled to read the Bible with new eyes! The confused state of divided Christendom in our time demands just such an honest and radical investigation. 17×24 cm. 470 pages. 5€

I AM NOT ALONE – TOD RADDATZ 2017.
A Study on the Son of God Doctrine by an Ex-Oneness Advocate. In “I Am Not Alone” the Oneness (Modalistic Monarchian) doctrine is brought to task in light of Biblical truth and the history of dogma by a long-time advocate of the same! The author begins by establishing clear, and irrefutable biblical rules for interpreting the Bible. Then he shows how false methods of interpretations (for example, jumping to conclusions and leaning on extrabiblical ideas) are how both the Trinity and Oneness doctrines are arrived at. Next the author leads the reader back to the Old Testament (OT) as the schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, with an eye toward showing how its foundational ideas stand in stark contrast to certain pagan and Gnostic views which have been adopted and modified for use by Trinitarians and Onenessians in defining their beliefs. This information will help the reader clearly see how well-established the OT terms and concepts of Messiah really are (for example “Christ,” “Son of God,” “agency” and “foreknowledge”). Being empowered with such knowledge, the reader will be able to easily discern unbiblical (false) terms and concepts (for example “dual natures” and “incarnation”) with a healthy amount of suspicion rather than reverence! The next step is showing the reader how clearly and plainly the New Testament retains the foundational OT concepts in proclaiming Jesus the Anointed (Christ) as the prophesied Son of God, just as the Apostles understood, preached, and taught him to be. Finally, the author addresses, and exposes, the ways in which Onenessians have reinterpreted certain “proof-texts” through unbiblical lenses in an attempt to support their man-made theories, comparing their methods all along to the same methods used by their archrivals, the Trinitarians. In this way the grammatical trickery of both Trinitarians and Onenessians is exposed like a con-artist’s sleight of hand! The goal for this book is to restore Oneness believers in search of truth to the simple, pure, undiluted faith once delivered by Jesus Christ through his apostles: that, “Jesus the Anointed, is the Son of God!” The truth is, those two openly proclaimed facts (Jesus being “anointed” and God’s “son,”) clearly mean, biblically speaking, that Jesus is quite decidedly, not an incarnation of God Himself. And that is why Jesus’ very own words refute the Oneness position; just as Jesus himself said, “I Am Not Alone!” 17X24 cm. 623 pages. 25€
One God & One Lord: Reconsidering the Cornerstone of the Christian Faith -Mark Graeser, John Lynn, John Schoenheit 2010
“Who do you say that I am?” . Jesus of Nazareth posed this question to his followers nearly two thousand years ago, but the question still hangs in the air, requesting an answer from every person. Indeed, the question of the identity of Jesus Christ is the most important theological issue of all human history, because he claimed to be the human Son of the one true God. In ONE GOD & ONE LORD, the authors carefully re-examine the biblical evidence in light of modern textual research and a thorough survey of scholarly opinion. They argue that the biblically accurate answer to the question of his identity is provided by Peter, John, Mary, Paul and other first-century believers who unanimously proclaimed him to be “the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Building an impressive and compelling case for the unity of the biblical testimony concerning the true humanity of Jesus, “the last Adam,” the authors reveal the profound significance of the two aspects of his coming: suffering and glory. They seek a view of Christ that allows for a total appreciation of his steadfast obedience to God in the face of temptation, suffering and even a humiliating death. Vindicated by his resurrection, he entered into glory and now sits in a position of functional equality with God, analogous to the relationship of Joseph and Pharaoh in the Book of Genesis. ONE GOD & ONE LORD shows how the traditional view of Jesus Christ actually demeans both his accomplishments and his heroism by attributing to him “intrinsic deity” that essentially eliminates the possibility of either authentic temptation or failure. Because the Gospel of John is often isolated and magnified to establish and fortify orthodox Christology, the authors explore in depth the unique depiction of Christ in “the Fourth Gospel”. They succeed in placing John’s testimony harmoniously and understandably within the margins of the prophetic portrait of the Messiah. This portrait had already been drawn out in detail in the Hebrew Scriptures and was then fleshed out in the Synoptic Gospels. Nowhere in this portrait is it clear that Messiah was “God incarnate,” “God the Son,” or a pre-existent divine visitor. Appealing primarily to scriptural authority and logical reasoning, ONE GOD & ONE LORD also thoroughly examines the historical process by which traditional Christian orthodoxy came to be established. A combination of misguided Christian piety and pagan speculation are shown to be responsible for the intrusion of unbiblical concepts into basic Christian thought and doctrine. ONE GOD & ONE LORD is challenging, but profoundly encourages both Christian devotion and a deep appreciation for the integrity of the Bible. It will reward the careful attention of the critic of Christianity, the new Christian, students of the Bible, pastors, teachers and scholars. SIZE 28,4X22,4 cm. 704 pages. 45€
Glory to God in the Highest -Joel Hemphill (Trumpet Call Books 2010)

CAN THERE BE THREE PERSONS IN ONE GOD? RAYMOND FAIRCLOTH 2020
Why you Should Question the Trinity Doctrine! This book deals with the major subject of Christianity, namely, who is God? Is God one person? This is called Unitarianism. Or, is He an essence consisting of two persons—Father and Son? This is called Binitarianism. Or, does He consist of three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is called Trinitarianism and is the traditional belief. Also, it is vital to examine the equally important question of: Is Jesus the completely human “Son of God”? Or, is he ‘God the Son’ who pre-existed as a second person in the Binity or Trinity? Furthermore, some believe that Jesus pre-existed, but came into existence as an archangel! This is called Arianism. If, however, God is one person but can appear in different modes, did He leave heaven and come down into Mary’s womb in the ‘mode’ of a human—so that “God the Father” became the baby Jesus? This is called Modalism. These issues have raged since the second century when Jewish Christianity had gone out into the Gentile world with that world’s pagan Platonic philosophies. Most importantly, the Jews of Judaism, throughout its history, never taught that God consisted of two or three persons in one essence. So, the key question is: Did Jesus or any of his Bible-writing representatives change that belief? Did they reveal a truth that the Jews were unaware of? In other words, was Jesus really a Binitarian or a Trinitarian? Or did he confirm a strict Unitarian monotheism concerning His heavenly Father? Furthermore, it is claimed that the Christianity of the churches is one of the three great monotheistic religions, the other two being Judaism and Islam. However, with the definition of monotheism being the worship of one God, we must ask: Can a teaching of three persons in one God truly be monotheistic? The importance of this subject of “who God is” can hardly be overstated and this book demonstrates that the Bible teaches an entirely Unitarian view of who God is. In other words: God is one person, the Father. Furthermore, it shows that Jesus never literally pre-existed and has always been 100% human as existing from his conception in Mary’s womb. However, because the predominant teaching of the churches is that of Trinitarianism the material in this book focuses on the falseness of that view according to the Bible but, naturally, some of this information is also applicable to Binitarianism and to a lesser extent Modalism. Certainly, these last-mentioned doctrines are also a deviation from the original belief about God as found in ancient Judaism, in Jesus’ teachings, in the words of the Apostles, as well as those of the earliest Church fathers. Additionally, this book examines the associated Trinitarian doctrines of the eternal generation of the Son, the hypostatic union, kenosis, perichoresis, and coinherence—strange terms indeed, but ones that will be explained in the book! Indeed, these terms are all man-made expressions as ways to try to explain the Trinity. Furthermore, some defenders of the Trinity doctrine try to use analogies in this futile endeavour—futile because their analogies do not actually fit with the Trinity. Apart from revealing all the issues and problems with the doctrine of the Trinity as compared with the biblical data, the various parts of this book also reveal the biblical concept of ideal or notional pre-existence indicating that Jesus did not literally pre-exist, but did pre-exist in God’s mind, that is, God’s foreordination of “the Son of God,” so that there never was a “God the Son” or some other being from heaven. Part of the misunderstanding of the origin of Jesus is because of a misreading of the last gospel to be written, namely, the Gospel of John with many of Jesus’ sayings being in very figurative language and which should not be read in a literalistic way. Clearly, John’s Gospel account should be read after one has grasped the meaning of the birth narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. 17×24 cm. 364 pages. 5€

The Christian’s Hope – The Anchor of the Soul -John Schoenheit (Spirit and Truth Fellowship International 2016)
What the Bible really says about Death, Judgement, Rewards, Heaven and the future life on a restored earth. Clean air and pure water. All the land, even deserts, fertile and blooming. Pasturelands full of grazing animals. Rivers and seas teeming with fish. More than enough food for everyone. Starvation and hunger – distant memories. No crime and no war. Every weapon destroyed or converted for domestic use. Safety and security for everyone. Guaranteed justice for all. All animals living together peacefully, even the wolf and the lamb. Lions eating grass like cattle. New bodies for everyone, empowered by a new life force. No sickness or disease. The blind see, the mute talk, and the lame leap like deer. Too good to be true? Not if you take God’s Word for it. According to Jesus Christ, quoting from Psalm 37:11, the meek (those willing to believe God’s Word) shall inherit the earth. The biblical teaching that all saved people will live forever on a recreated and Eden-like earth has been virtually lost for modern Christians. Why? Because in the early centuries of the Christian Church, the doctrine of life on a new earth was replaced by the belief that “heaven” is an eternal dwelling place of those who are saved. The Christian’s Hope reaffirms in a straightforward yet well-documented way that the everlasting home of the saved will be on a lush and Eden-like Earth. It offers a biblically clear and vividly described glimpse of the glorious destiny that awaits every believer. Size 15x 23 cm. 340 pages. 5€
The Gift of Holy Spirit: The Power to be like Christ – Mark Graeser, John Lynn, John Schoenheit (Spirit and Truth Fellowship International 2006)
The subject of the Holy Spirit is one of the most misunderstood subjects in Christendom. Yet the gift of holy spirit is one of the greatest gifts God has given to mankind. Moses had it, and when he needed help administering the millions of Israelites, God took of the spirit that was upon Moses and gave it to the elders of Israel so they could rule with him. God gave His gift of holy spirit to the Judges of Israel, such as Deborah and Samuel. He gave it to kings such as David and Hezekiah. He gave it to prophets such as Elijah, Isaiah, and Daniel. John the Baptist had holy spirit from birth. Even Jesus was anointed with holy spirit before he started his ministry. Now we can walk in the power of holy spirit. This book will answer such questions as: o What is the difference between Holy Spirit and holy spirit? o Why is “holy spirit” sometimes referred to as “he” and other times referred to as an “it”? o What are the manifestations (sometimes called “gifts”) of holy spirit? o What is speaking in tongues, and why is it valuable for Christians? o What is “slain in the spirit”? This book shows that each Christian is sealed with God’s gift of holy spirit the very moment that he is saved. Furthermore, it shows that each Christian can manifest, outwardly show, that spirit in the nine ways spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12, including speaking in tongues. When we understand the gift of holy spirit and why God gave us such a wonderful gift, then we can take advantage of it in our lives. We can walk in the power of the holy spirit, and become more like Christ in attitude and action. Size 15×23 cm. 314 pages. 5€
Our Fathers Who Aren’t in Heaven -The Forgotten Christianity of Jesus the Jew- Anthony Buzzard (second edition 1999)
There is an impressive consensus among New Testament scholars that the Kingdom of God was the principal theme of all that Jesus taught. The Gospel about the Kingdom of God is actually the New Testament name for the Christian Message of salvation. Yet today we hear little or nothing in public evangelism about the Gospel of the Kingdom. Jesus has been divorced from his own Gospel. Anthony Buzzard contends that traditional Christianity has lost its grip on the Messianism of the Bible — that Jewish theme which Gentiles found, and still find, unfamiliar. If the various denominations are to find unity in a common belief in the Bible, it will have to be by a return to the Messianic Jesus and His Kingdom Gospel. No theme could be more heartening in our distracted world than the hope of a better world coming on earth when Jesus returns to take over the reins of world government. Subtle forces from the world of pagan philosophy have worked to make basic apostolic teachings unclear to the churchgoing public. The Bible read in its own Hebrew, Messianic context comes alive as a thrilling document inspiring hope for a resolution of all the world’s problems and offering frail humans the prospect of living not only for a thousand years, but forever. Used in very good condition. Size 17x 24 cm. 394 pages. 5€
DELUSIONS AND TRUTHS CONCERNING THE FUTURE LIFE -RAYMOND FAIRCLOTH 2016
This book has the purpose of explaining that there is no teaching in the Bible that humans have an immortal soul that goes to heaven or suffers hell-fire torture at death. Such a teaching contradicts the biblical doctrine of the resurrection of the whole person. In other words biblically “death” means “death” i.e. the cessation of life, but always with the knowledge of a future resurrection of the whole person directly on an earth which will be a renewed paradise when Jesus Christ returns to establish God’s kingdom. 17X24 cm. 124 pages. 5€
IS THERE DEATH AFTER LIFE? MARK GRAESER, JOHN LYNN, JOHN SCHOENHEIT 2004
This book gives biblical answers to the following questions: What is death? Is death a graduation? Is death a friend or foe? What is the soul? Where are the dead? Why does God use the metaphor of sleep to describe death? When will the dead awaken? After laying the groundwork by answering these questions, the book deals with 13 sections of Scripture commonly used to prove that the dead are alive. With numerous references to other Christian books and magazines, the authors show how Greek philosophy shaped the current evangelical doctrine of the immortality of the soul, and they briefly point out how and why the Reformation failed to reform this totally pagan belief that is now even more firmly entrenched in Christendom. 17×24 cm. 120 pages. 5€
A Biblical Anthropology – Michael Bieleski (Mishma 2014)
The content of this book concerns the central religious questions of life-after-death, salvation and judgment, and whether the Christian scriptures present a cohesive view about these matters. It’s an enormous topic that has implications for virtually every aspect of human existence. In this book Michael approaches matters in a very biblically foundational way. He’s addressing evangelical Christians who, perhaps like himself, have assumed that conventional wisdom about immortal souls, eternal punishment, and the destiny of the righteous is a settled matter of biblical orthodoxy. Instead, this book demonstrates how theology can become captive to deep-seated cultural ideas, even when Scripture presents a consistently contrary view. The great strength of this book is the way Michael clearly and straightforwardly works through the relevant themes, along with the associated key scriptures, highlighting the dominant threads, while not neglecting apparently more difficult passages.186 pages. 5€

The Canon Debate: On the Origins and Formation of the Bible– LEE MARTIN, MCDONALD, JAMES SANDERS editors (HENDRICKSON)
What does it mean to speak of a canon of scripture? How, when, and where, did the canon of the Hebrew Bible come into existence? Why does it have three divisions? What canon was in use among the Jews of the Hellenistic diaspora? At Qumran? In Roman Palestine? Among the rabbis? What Bible did Jesus and his disciples know and use? How was the New Testament canon formed and closed? What role was played by Marcion? By gnostics? By the church fathers? What did the early church make of the apocrypha and pseudepigrapha? By what criteria have questions of canonicity been decided? Are these past decisions still meaningful faith communities today? Are they open to revision? These and other debated questions are addressed by an international roster of outstanding experts on early Judaism and early Christianity, writing from diverse affiliations and perspectives, who present the history of discussion and offer their own assessments of the current status.

MOSES PREDICTED COVID-19 -KERMIT ZARLEY
THE PAST 9 PANDEMICS SUGGEST COVID-19 MAY RELATE TO MOSES’ DIETARY LAWS. The Jews’ kosher diet is based on Moses giving the ancient Israelites food laws in which they could eat animals designated “clean” but not those “unclean.” Christians think these laws have no hygienic basis and that Jesus abolished them (Mark 7.19b). This author disagrees and claims COVID-19 proves it. Zarley shows that the past nine, major epidemics or pandemics starting with the Spanish Flu in 1918 were caused by zoonosis–the transmission of a virus from animals to humans–and in each case it was an “unclean” animal. Bats caused four of them, likely including COVID-19. And Moses’ commands for Israelites’ who touch unclean animal carcasses–to wash body and clothes and isolate outdoors until evening–are eerily similar to health directives for people exposed to COVID-19 pathogens. Zarley doesn’t say we all should eat kosher. But he does say the world should recognize this ancient insight and change its behavior toward animals Moses deemed “unclean.” The author concludes that this evidence shows that Moses’ food laws are prescient, indicate divine inspiration, and strongly attest to the existence of the God of Israel and the Christians.
