Despite its title, this book isn't about Dr. Peterson. It's about something far greater. It's about the gaping chasm that currently exists separating the Biblical and scientific world views. More precisely it's an attempt to bridge that gap.
Written as a series of personal emails to a close friend, a former pastor, the author attempts to "interpret" the Biblical narrative in the light of modern science. Walking a tightrope that balances a solid understanding...

In every line of God's Word, there are volumes of wisdom and knowledge waiting to be revealed to His people.
I believe that every book of the Bible has alternative meanings locked into them to put our Lord's wisdom into our hearts, while standing in its power timelessly. These do not negate, nor diminish, the obvious and literal meaning of the words of that book but are revelations into parallel meanings, revealed only through the Holy Spirit, much...

The prophetic books Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah are brief but powerful. They comfort us with the assurance that, when nothing in this life makes sense, God is still in control. They toughen our faith in the face of the world's ugly realities. And they reveal the complexities of humans in relation to God. Jonah ran from his divine commission. Habakkuk questioned God concerning his ways. Repenting under Jonah's message, the city of Ninevah...

How do the scriptures speak to us today?
Where do our stories mirror biblical stories? Herbert O'Driscoll, beloved Anglican preacher, storyteller, author, and hymn writer, invites us to imagine what the "back story" of our favorite scriptures might have been.
By doing Christian midrash-telling the stories within the Story-Dr. O'Driscoll has filled in the gaps by creating new homilies and parables based on the text. Some are narratives, such as Jesus...

Isaiah has always been considered the greatest of the Old Testament prophets and while many of his prophecies have already been fulfilled, many are yet to come to fruition. Chapters 40-48 are the comforting promises of the salvation and restoration of the exiles. Chapters 49-55 are messages of deliverance by the Messiah and chapters 56-66 are admonitions to obedience and promises of not only Israels future glory, but the raptured saints as well. In...

It was to Paul that the Lord gave the meaning of the New Covenant, which is the meaning of the Cross, which incorporates the entire Plan of God. Paul, as no other Prophet or Apostle, tells us how to live a Victorious Life in Christ. Although it runs through the entirety of his Epistles, the greater thrust is found in Romans, Chapters 6, 7, and 8. While one can be Saved without understanding what Paul taught about the Victorious Life, pure and simple,...

JUAN Del texto bíblico una aplicación contemporánea LA MAYORÍA DE LOS COMENTARIOS BÍBLICOS solo son un viaje de ida: nos llevan del siglo veintiuno al siglo primero. Pero nos dejan allí, dando por sentado que de algún modo sabernos regresar por nosotros mismos. Dicho de otro modo, se centran en el significado original del pasaje, sin embargo, no se adentran en su aplicación a la vida contemporánea. La información que ofrecen es muy valiosa,...
