The present book contains a course to learn the Greek of the New Testament. 42 lessons are given; every 7th lesson is a repetition. Thanks to modern computer programmes we can offer a unique method, as it was possible to order a vast number of data, so as to present them in a useful fashion. An assimilating learning technique is used. That is to say, one is immersed immediately into the Greek of the N.T., also called Koine. At first one learns simple phrases. Later on these become complete sentences. In this way the student gets used to the Greek of the New Testament from the beginning and gradually is trained to advance. Most grammar and vocabulary has been worked into the sentences and learning those one gets acquainted with the Greek in a playful way. This ia a very useful and commendable book for the beginner of New Testament Greek. For enough grammar and words are learned to set one on his or her way towards reading the New Testament by oneself.

A fictional tale full of biblical advice and the description of a growing conflict, true to life, between an evangelizing bible basher and one of his adepts. Among the many things discussed, one is whether or not there will be sex in eternity. This christian bloggish novel is among other things a discussion about what heaven will be like. Will it be like the Muslim's paradise, or like the Christian's heaven? It is interspersed with background events to embellish the story. Also I have interlaced it with my ethical theology to lend backbone to the plot. If you are looking for compelling narrative drive, look away. This is more a fictitious diary full with philosophical ideas, a play of sorts, and is meant to educate rather than to entertain.

A plea for the Christian faith in the era of so-called Postmodernism. It introduces the term of autotheism as an analysis of the sin-sickness that has been upon us since the Fall of man. This essay begins with an attempt to arrange the main religions under common denominators and subsequently counters them with a Christian apology.

In this thesis laws concerning consanguinity and affinity in the late Roman empire are studied, along with the relevant and contemporary patristic and conciliar decisions. Mainly laws for marriages between cousins and between a man and his sister-in-law on the wife's side are discussed.

Three essay are given in the book. The first steers a middle course between hypercalvinism and universalism by using the O.T. altar as a pattern of understanding. The second essay unnerves the theology of the Jehovah Witnesses with biblical arguments. The third essay is a study in biblical symbolism and in parallels and connections between the four gospels and Old Testament types.

This study treats of Cicero's De Natura Deorum (on the nature of the gods) and Minucius Felix' Octavius and revolves around the pre-christian influence of philosophy on later christian apologetics, which is shown to borrow from the ancient reasonings. In the first work Epicureanism and Stoicism are balanced by the Academy under the supervision of Cotta. In the second one a pagan is persuaded to embrace christianity. Ignoring the many quotes in Latin, it is still interesting reading for students of both theology and philosophy and one can always consult the translations mentioned in the bibliography.

In this book we have collected counsels and commandments from the New Testament, recommendations for our talk and walk in this world. Many Christians read magazines, Bible commentaries and other things; but reading the Bible by itself, they hardly get to do that. And that though the Bible itself gives us the advice to long for the pure 'milk', as many of us are still babies in the faith. The Bible verses contained in this work are however also meant for those Christians that are already longer on their way to the heavenly City. For them the advice holds, from the Bible itself, that the Word of the Lord 'live richly among you'. May this work serve as an incentive to pay more attention to the bestseller of all times. The Lord Jesus said that 'he that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me and he that loves me will be loved by my Father and I will love him and I will reveal Myself to him' (John 14. 21). Hence this book!

Een verzameling bijbelteksten uit het Nieuwe Testament, die tezamen de raadgevingen en (in)directe geboden vormen voor de handel en wandel van de christen. De Here Jezus zei dat 'degene die mijn geboden bezit en zich aan ze houdt, die is het die mij liefheeft en degene die mij liefheeft zal het voorwerp van de Liefde van mijn Vader zijn en ik zal hem liefhebben en zal mezelf aan hem open-baren' (Johannes 14: 21). Vandaar dit boek!

Dit is een beginnerscursus voor het Grieks van het Nieuwe Testament, ook wel Koine genoemd. De meeste aandacht gaat uit naar de grammatica en het leren van een woordenschat. Gelijk in het begin zit de lezer al in het Nieuwe Testament d.m.v. eenvoudige Griekse zinnetjes. Later worden die geleidelijk ingewikkelder. Veel van de grammatica is verwerkt in deze zinnen. Op deze manier wordt het leren eenvoudiger gemaakt. Moderne computer programmatuuur maakte het mogelijk om allerlei taaltechnische zaken op te sporen en op een rijtje te zetten. Ook worden woordenlijsten, wat leesoefeningen, extra lesmateriaal en achtergrond informatie aangeboden. De cursus bestaat uit 42 lessen (elke 7de les is een herhalingsles). Dit boek is bedoeld als voorloper op de Cursus N.T.-Grieks voor Gevorderden. De cursus bevat genoeg grammatica en woordenschat om de beginner van N.T.-Grieks op weg te helpen. Een aanrader wat betreft de assimilerende methode!

Dit is het vervolg op de beginnerscursus voor het Grieks van het Nieuwe Testament. Deze cursus is op dezelfde leest geschoeid, d.w.z. de meeste aandacht gaat weer uit naar de grammatica en het leren van een woordenschat. En wederom wordt de leerstof in Griekse zinnen verwerkt, direct uit het N.T. genomen. Veel van de grammatica is verwerkt in deze zinnen. Op deze manier wordt het leren eenvoudiger gemaakt. Moderne computer programmatuuur maakte het mogelijk om allerlei taaltechnische zaken op te sporen en op een rijtje te zetten. Ook hier worden woordenlijsten, wat leesoefeningen, extra lesmateriaal en achtergrond informatie aangeboden. De cursus bestaat uit 28 lessen. De lesstof van deze 2 boeken tesamen, zijn vergelijkbaar met 2 jaar Griekse studie (d.w.z. van het Koine).

This study treats of the influence of prechristian philosophy on early christian apologetics. Cicero's De Natura Deorum (On the Nature of the gods) and Octavius (an early christian book) are used to outline this phenomenon. Ignoring the quotes in Latin, it is still interesting reading for the student in philosophy and theology as well as history.

This book deals with marital laws in the late Roman empire (4th and 5th centuries). Consanguinity and affinity are central topics. The ancient codices of Theodosius and Justinian are studied, translations improved and the patristic and conciliar background expounded upon. The focal point concerns the laws about marriages between cousins and a man and his sister-in-law on the wife's side.

Three christological studies are given here. The first an analysis of Christ's suffering on the cross and point the way between the cliffs of universalism and hypercalvinism; the second against the theology of the Jehovah Witnesses and the third study concerns biblical symbolism and typology in connection with O.T. parallels.

Vandaar dit boek!

Dit boek bevat veel herderlijke aantekeningen die vervat zijn in allerlei omstandigheden van het leven; waar de Bijbel rijk aan is. En zo rust het de lezer toe met praktische wijsheid. Vaak zijn christenen druk bezig met evangelisatie, muziek, zogenaamde christelijke films en ook met leerstellige kwesties. Maar vaak wordt er niet echt omgekeken naar het welzijn van de ziel. Of we bemoedigen onze medebroeders en zusters niet of niet voldoende. Een complimentje kan zeldzaam tot zeer zeldzaam zijn. Daarom dit boek.

3 christologische essays over het kruislijden van Christus aan de hand van het O.T. altaar en bijbelse typen en antitypen en symbolisme. Een van deze studies is een geconcentreerd wederwoord tegen het gedachtegoed van de Jehovah Getuigen. De eerste studie weerlegt beide de leer van de alverzoening en het hypercalvinisme.
