CHRISTIAN STUDIES / MYSTICISM "In this rich and lucid translation,
Jean-Yves Leloup unlocks mysteries of the enigmatic bridal chamber
found in the Gospel of Philip and sheds new light on their
associations with Jewish esoteric tradition." --Margaret Starbird,
author of The Woman with the Alabaster Jar: Mary Magdalen and the
Holy Grail "For scholars and seekers alike, every page of this book
opens profound new dimensions in the teachings of Jesus." --Jacob
Needleman, author of Lost Christianity and The American Soul The
mainstream position of the Christian church on sexuality was
perhaps best summed up by Pope Innocent III (1160-1216) when he
stated that "the sexual act is so shameful that it is intrinsically
evil." Another Christian theologian maintained that "the Holy Ghost
is absent from the room shared by a wedded couple." The apostle
Philip, however, records in his gospel that Christ said precisely
the opposite: The nuptial chamber is in fact the holy of holies.
For Philip the Holy Trinity includes the feminine presence--God is
the Father, the Holy Ghost is the Mother, and Jesus is the Son--and
neither man nor woman alone is created in the image of God. It is
only in their relationship with one another--the sacred embrace in
which they share the divine breath--that they resemble God. The
Gospel of Philip is best known for its portrayal of the physical
relationship shared by Jesus and his most beloved disciple, Mary
Magdalene. Because it ran counter to Church dogma, however, which
condemned "the works of the flesh," Philip's gospel was suppressed
and eventually lost until rediscovered at Nag Hammadi in 1947.
Orthodox theologian Jean-Yves Leloup's translation of the gospel
from theCoptic and his analysis of this scripture are presented
here for the first time in English. What emerges from this
important source text is a restoration of the sacred initiatic
union between the male and the female principles that was once at
the heart of Christianity's sacred mystery. JEAN-YVES LELOUP, an
Orthodox theologian and professor of theology, philosophy, and
psychology, is the founder of the International College of
Therapists. His other books include The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
and a forthcoming translation and commentary on the Gospel of
Thomas. He lives in France.
ESV Illuminated Scripture Journal: 1-3 John pairs the entirety of
the books of 1-3 John with a lightly dotted blank page opposite
each page of Bible text and hand-lettered illustrations
interspersed throughout-providing space to creatively engage with
and reflect on the Word of God.

This collection of essays explores the rhetoric and practices
surrounding views on life after death and the end of the world,
including the fate of the individual, apocalyptic speculation and
hope for cosmological renewal, in a wide range of societies from
Ancient Mesopotamia to the Byzantine era. The 42 essays by leading
scholars in each field explore the rich spectrum of ways in which
eschatological understanding can be expressed, and for which
purposes it can be used. Readers will gain new insight into the
historical contexts, details, functions and impact of
eschatological ideas and imagery in ancient texts and material
culture from the twenty-fifth century BCE to the ninth century CE.
Traditionally, the study of "eschatology" (and related concepts)
has been pursued mainly by scholars of Jewish and Christian
scripture. By broadening the disciplinary scope but remaining
within the clearly defined geographical milieu of the
Mediterranean, this volume enables its readers to note comparisons
and contrasts, as well as exchanges of thought and transmission of
eschatological ideas across Antiquity. Cross-referencing, high
quality illustrations and extensive indexing contribute to a rich
resource on a topic of contemporary interest and relevance.
Eschatology in Antiquity is aimed at readers from a wide range of
academic disciplines, as well as non-specialists including seminary
students and religious leaders. The primary audience will comprise
researchers in relevant fields including Biblical Studies, Classics
and Ancient History, Ancient Philosophy, Ancient Near Eastern
Studies, Art History, Late Antiquity, Byzantine Studies and
Cultural Studies. Care has been taken to ensure that the essays are
accessible to undergraduates and those without specialist knowledge
of particular subject areas.
A stunning work of scholarship, the Norton Critical Edition of The
English Bible, King James Version, is the most accessible edition
available. These acclaimed volumes bring together succinct
introductions to each biblical work, explanatory annotations, and
contextual and critical materials. Archaic words are explained,
textual problems are lucidly discussed, and stylistic features of
the original texts are highlighted. For the Old Testament, Herbert
Marks gives readers without Hebrew an entry into the complexities
of biblical literature, reconstructing its original contexts,
tracing its evolution, and pointing out productive strategies for
reading. For the New Testament and the Apocrypha, Gerald Hammond
and Austin M. Busch provide historical and cultural background
while illuminating the complexity of the original texts. Both
volumes include timelines, chronologies, diagrams, and color maps.
Originally published in 1995, The Selected Works of George McCready
Price is the seventh volume in the series, Creationism in Twentieth
Century America, reissued in 2021. The volume brings together the
original writings and pamphlets of George McCready Price, a leading
creationist of the early antievolution crusade of the 1920s.
McCready Price labelled himself the 'principal scientific authority
of the Fundamentalists' and as a self-taught scientist he enjoyed
more scientific repute amongst fundamentalists of the time. This
interesting and unique collection of original source material
includes five of his writings between 1906 and 1924, challenging
the new Darwinian theory of evolution and natural selection through
his writings on the natural sciences. His literature covers the
topics of evolution and biology and critiques biological arguments
for evolution. He also wrote widely on geology offering his own
alternative argument of 'flood geography' in opposition to the
Darwinian theory concerning palaeontology and geology. This volume
will be of interest to historians of natural history and the
creationism movement, as well as scholars of religion and American
history.
Originally published in 1995, The Antievolution Pamphlets of Harry
Rimmer is the sixth volume in the series, Creationism in Twentieth
Century America. The volume brings together original sources from
the prominent evangelist and pastor Harry Rimmer. The consortium of
pamphlets in this volume detail Rimmer's antievolutionist
sentiments, a notion which characterized his early writings. The
pamphlets detail Rimmer's rhetoric on evolution and science from
the early part of the 20th century as he travelled across America
to disseminate his writings. The works in this volume address
Rimmer's polemic on the danger posed by modern science and the
consequential disassociation with religion. While Rimmer did not
discount science itself, he argued for, what he termed, 'true
science', claiming that modern science was based only in scientific
opinion and not fact. As a self-proclaimed scientist, these
writings take a unique view of the relationship between religion
and science from this period through Rimmer's dual nature as both
scientist and pastor. This volume will be of great interest to
historians of natural history, science and religion.
Originally published in 1995, Creation and Evolution in the Early
American Scientific Affiliation is the tenth volume in the series,
Creationism in Twentieth Century America, reissued in 2021. The
volume comprises of original primary sources from the American
Science Affiliation, a group formed following an invitation from
the president of the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, in answer to
the perceived need for an academic society for American Evangelical
Scientists to explicate the relationship between science and faith.
The society confronted the debate between creation and evolution
head on, leaving a paper trail documenting their thoughts and
struggles. This diverse and expansive collection includes 53
selections that appeared during the organisation's first two
decades and focuses on the encounter between science and American
evangelicalism in the twentieth century, in particular the debates
surrounding the ever-increasing preference for evolutionary theory.
The collection will be of especial interest to natural historians,
and theologians as well as academics of philosophy, and history.

In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold
separately), bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us that the
Christian life is to be lived looking forward and with our eyes fixed
on the race in front of us—not looking back over at our shoulder at the
other runners or the past. In the Bible, the apostle said as much when
he wrote, "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected;
but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has
also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have
apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are
behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press
toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus" (Philippians 3:12-14 (NKJV).
Dr. Jeremiah draws on this key verse to show that while it is good at
times to look back, we need to make sure that we don't go back and
allow the past to dictate our future. We need to celebrate our good
memories but also celebrate our bad memories with finality—thanking God
for the lessons that He has taught us through the experience and
committing to use those lesson to make positive changes in our lives.
We then need to allow our past memories to cultivate our dreams—boldly
stepping into the mission God has for us and allowing Him to
continually transform us to be more like Christ.
Now is the time to step past our comfort and our failure. Now is the
time to move forward in following God.

This tried and true classroom favorite by respected New Testament
scholar Gary Burge has been praised for its usefulness. The
expanded second edition has been revised throughout to take account
of current scholarship and introduces software tools that have
become available since the original edition was published.
Combining original insight with how-to guidance, this textbook
helps students interpret the Gospel of John and apply it in
teaching and preaching.
Lent is traditionally a time of repentance and penitence but it
also offers an opportunity to see the world afresh, with a new
sense of wonder. These readings, up to Easter and beyond, encourage
us not only to regard ourselves with a healthy realism and accept
responsibility for our shortcomings, but also to recognise the
nature and purposes of God and the never-ending renewal of
possibility, both within ourselves and in the world.
After an unforgettable three years, the charismatic teacher who
called you and your brother James to follow him says, 'Right, let's
go to Jerusalem' It's thrilling to be setting out on the next stage
of the adventure. But life in the company of Jesus is not for the
faint-hearted. Certainly there's fun, as lark about with the other
young disciples. But it's pretty edgy too, not knowing who is going
to turn up next and what might be expected of you. And as the days
pass by, the huge demands on Jesus as he heals and teaches invoke
both a strange tenderness, and a growing dread of why exactly you
are journeying to the holy city . . . Looking through the eyes of
the disciple John, The Journey follows Luke's chronology from Luke
9.51, as Jesus 'set his face to go to Jerusalem' Absorbing,
exuberant and affective, it offers daily (weekday) readings for
Lent, from Ash Wednesday to Good Friday, with a poem for each
Saturday. It is suitable to use individually or in groups.
Originally published in 1995, The Early Writings of Harold W. Clark
and Frank Lewis Marsh is the eighth volume in the Creationism in
Twentieth Century America series, reissued in 2019. The book is a
collection of original writings by the prominent creationist Harold
W. Clark, and the biologist, educator and young Earth creationist
Frank Lewis Marsh. Although both were significant figures in the
anti-evolutionist movement of the early 20th century, unlike other
members of the movement, both Marsh and Clarke were trained
scientists studying under eminent evolutionists of the time. Both
writers struggled to reconcile new scientific understandings of
geology, botany and palaeontology, supported by Darwin's theory of
evolution, with their own creationist beliefs in genesis and flood
theory. Both scientists as such began to develop their own theories
of evolution that remained in line with creationist beliefs. This
compact and unique collection includes the writings of Marsh and
Clark from this period, featuring some of their well-known works on
the subject including 'Back to Creation' and 'Fundamental Biology'.
This volume of original sources will be of interest to academics of
religion, natural history and historians of the 19th century.

Jeremiah in History and Tradition examines aspects of the Book of
Jeremiah from a variety of perspectives including historical,
textual, redaction, and feminist criticism, as well as the history
of its reception. The book looks afresh at the Book of Jeremiah
through the lens of intertextuality and reception history in the
broadest sense, exploring Jeremiah in its historical context as
well as the later history and interpretation of the text, and also
reconsidering aspects of the Book of Jeremiah's traditions. This
volume features essays from a unique assembly of scholars, both
seasoned and new. It is divided into two parts: "Jeremiah in
History", which explores a variety of readings of Jeremiah from the
point of view of classical historical criticism; and "Jeremiah in
Tradition", which discusses the portraits and use of both the book
and the figure of Jeremiah in extra-biblical traditions. Offering
challenging new theories, Jeremiah in History and Tradition is
invaluable to scholars and students in the field of Biblical
Studies. It is a useful resource for anyone working on the
interpretation of the biblical text and the readings of the text of
Jeremiah throughout history.
