Summary

Fascination with the end times is not just a recent phenomenon.
The young church at Thessalonica, having taken root during Paul's brief stay there, pondered when the end might come as well. Paul, in order to instruct them more fully, wrote them two letters, which taken together expound the "already-and-not-yet" character of the end times. His instruction and counsel can serve us well today.
Throughout this commentary, G. K. Beale explains what each letter meant to its original hearers and its application for us today.

    Many people who knew Jesus understood him well enough to admire him, to respect him, and to love him. Others were terrified of him. Some of his own relatives said he was out of his mind. But the politically and religiously intolerant leaders of first-century Israel hated him. So they murdered him. But that wasn't the end of the story. Not by a long shot. Today, more than 20 centuries later, respected Bible scholars Dr. Charles Missler and Dr. William Welty bring Jesus of Nazareth to you in the most unconventional way possible...by bringing Jesus of Nazareth to talk in his very own words about himself, his purpose, his nature, and his mission. By the time you've finished listening to I, Jesus: an Autobiography, you'll have learned why this rabbi from Nazareth rose from literal obscurity - as well as from the grave - to change the very course of history.

    The "Book of Nicodemus," also known as the "Gospel of Nicodemus" or the "Acts of Pilate," is an ancient Christian apocryphal text not included in the New Testament. It is divided into two parts: the "Gospel of Nicodemus," which offers an account of Jesus's descent into Hades and the rescue of righteous figures from the Old Testament, and the "Acts of Pilate," which details the trial of Jesus before Pontius Pilate, providing additional insights into the crucifixion and its political and religious context. This text emphasizes the redemptive power of Christ's sacrifice and the transformative impact of encountering Jesus, despite not being part of the canonical Christian scripture. It has had a profound influence on Christian art, literature, and theology. 
    While the "Book of Nicodemus" is not considered part of the official Christian canon, it has had a significant influence on Christian art, literature, and theology throughout history. It has been the source of inspiration for various artistic representations of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus and has contributed to the development of Christian eschatology and ideas about the afterlife. The text has been preserved in different versions and translations over the centuries, attesting to its enduring relevance within Christian tradition.

As the patriarch Jacob draws his final breath, his sons gather in Egypt—carrying secrets, guilt, and fragile hopes for the future. In this deeply human retelling of Genesis 49 and 50, the legacy of Joseph and the rift among his brothers set the stage for the Exodus long before Moses is born. 
    This is the story of what came before:Joseph, mourning his father while defending the family that once betrayed himAsenath, navigating her dual role as Egyptian noble and Hebrew matriarchDinah, finally stepping into healing and unexpected redemptionEphraim and Manasseh, caught between privilege and prophecy 
    Through palace whispers, tribal tension, secret plots, and unexpected acts of grace, The Moses Chronicles: Prelude traces the emotional and political fault lines that shape the world Moses will inherit. 
    Written with reverence and resonance, this is the story before the staff struck the Nile. The story before the sea parted. 
    This is the story before the basket on the Nile. 
     The quiet before slavery.
