How to Study the Old Testament for Signs of Christ
Believers read Scripture to follow Christ and deepen their relationship with him. But since a majority of the Bible was written before Jesus's life and death on the cross, many people rely on the Old Testament for historical context and moral guidance alone. However, when studied in detail, we see how even the Old Testament reveals Christ as the center of God's plan for redemption.

El libro del Apocalipsis continúa sorprendiendo y fascinando con sus imágenes y símbolos. Para adentrarse en él hay que aceptar inicialmente el "pacto de lectura" que el autor hace con sus lectores. Una vez aceptado, todo fluye sin complicaciones. La presentación que hacemos sigue el modelo narrativo, que tanta importancia sabemos que tiene en la Biblia. En efecto, el Apocalipsis de Juan está inspirado por el deseo de "narrar" la obra de Dios,...

Are you a member of a book club whose book you have never read?
The Bible is the best-selling book of all time. It adorns coffee tables and church pews. We swear on it in court and politicians take their oaths of office on it, yet few have actually read the Bible in its entirety and even fewer rightly divide and apply it.
However, what is most troubling are the ones who say that their beliefs and practices are based upon the eternal truths of the...

Opening Up the Scriptures was written by a group of eminent Catholics, including Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger -- now Pope Benedict XVI. In these erudite essays the authors contend that historical-critical interpretation of Scripture has long since run its course in both Protestant and Catholic exegesis. Instead, they argue, the future of interpretation lies in accepting that the Bible is not just a collection of historical documents but also a record...

Reading Paul's letter to the Ephesians should be enough to convert anyone to Christ. Try to imagine a devout Christian of our time suddenly converting to the worship of the Greek god Zeus, and being willing to endure fearful hardship, floggings, torture, imprisonment and eventual execution, in order to spread his beliefs around the world. Not only that, but this new convert now derides all other religions, and passionately insists that salvation and...

In this book, the author contends that communal holiness is the central theme of the vine metaphor in John 15:1-17. Illumination of the Johannine vine metaphor is illustrated by drawing on background information on the vine and its metaphorical usage in the Ancient Near East, Old Testament, and Second Temple Period and to suggest understanding in light of the communal holiness of the covenant people of God. Comparing the themes of holiness and corporateness...

For far too many Christians, life is little more than a series of mishaps, defeats and disappointments. Indeed, life can be difficult (Rom. 5:3), but it was never meant to be the hopeless grind and empty existence that many believers endure. To be sure, God has endeavored to take us on a journey-a magnificent journey, from hopelessness to hope, from emptiness to fulfillment, from worry to peace, from failure to victory, from regrets about the past...
