Eyewitness Bible Series: Three...

Christian History Institute

The New Testament starts with the three Gospel books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. These three are known as the Synoptic Gospels. Gospel means “Good News,” and Synoptic refers to the fact that all three give an account of the same general events from the same point of view. The fourth book, John, is distinctly different from the three Synoptic Gospels and includes much information not in the other three Gospels. The four Gospels differ in what stories they include and how the stories are told. None of the four Gospels are meant to be a complete, detailed life of Jesus. Rather, as John wrote, “Jesus truly did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: but these are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God; and that by believing you might have life through his name.” “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they should all be written, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.” Together, the four Gospels comprise the vast majority of the direct information we have about the life and teachings of Jesus.

Stuck in the Present - How...

David George Moore, Carl R. Trueman

While the Bible is enough to take us to heaven, knowing history helps us live more wisely on our way. 
 
 
 
George Orwell observed in Nineteen Eighty-Four that those who pay attention to history have the potential to influence the future. Stuck in the Present offers a grounding in historical consciousness that allows us to better navigate the daily bombardment of information. Amnesia about the past makes us vulnerable to the shackles of modern-day hucksters who try to convince us that the present is all that matters. 
 
 
 
With wit and grace, Moore encourages listeners to avoid common historical fallacies and better understand the significance of the past. Through interviews conducted with leading historians, Moore invites listeners to better understand relevant topics like the living legacy of the Puritans, slavery and the Civil War, and the current struggles for Civil Rights. Stuck in the Present motivates listeners to be lifelong learners of history. By doing so, we are enriched and better equipped to engage the complexities of our world.

Parables of Jesus Book 8

Paul A. Lynch

Luke 15: 11-31  
The Prodigal Son  
Jesus gave them a parable and said, “A man had two sons.” 
“The younger son said to his father, Father, give me my inheritance from now.” 
“The father gave his two sons their inheritance.” 
“Some days later, the younger son packed his bags and went out of the country into another far country and there he spent his money foolishly.” 
“Now when he had spent all his money in that same country came a great famine.” 
“When this happened, he then began to be in need. He went and stayed with a citizen of that country, and he sent him out to work on the pig farm. He fed the pigs.” 
“And he ate the food that was for the pigs because no one gave him anything to eat.” 
“Then one day, he looked into himself and said, why am I here? How many of my father’s servants have enough bread to eat and I am here starving.” 
“I will get up and go back home to my father and say, I am sorry, and I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son but please make me a hired worker.”
