This anthology presents forgotten gospels and epistles, showcasing a range of literary styles from poetic prose to doctrinal argumentation, offering profound insights into the diverse beliefs that flourished in early Christianity. The volume challenges traditional narratives by examining these texts in their socio-historical context, prompting readers to reevaluate the development of Christian doctrine and authority. The editors of this collection draw on extensive scholarly expertise and a commitment to preserving the integrity of ancient sources. Their backgrounds in theology, history, and textual criticism uniquely position them to curate these writings, invoking the voices of early Christians who shaped the faith yet remain sidelined in conventional biblical studies. Their work is a testament to the rich and often contested history of Christianity, revealing the complex tapestry from which the New Testament emerged. This book is a vital resource for scholars and lay readers alike, encouraging a deeper understanding of early Christian thought. By illuminating these marginalized texts, it invites readers to engage with the original New Testament in a more nuanced and enriched manner, making it an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in the foundational narratives of Christianity.

When the Journey Hurts - Finding...

Kelly M. Kapic, M. Elizabeth...

Transform Your Suffering with Tools from Theology, Psychology, and Spiritual Formation  
We don’t like pain. 
So, we find creative ways to go around it. We try to ignore, minimize, or deny our suffering, but we're still left hurting. 
Drawing on six years of research, When the Journey Hurts untangles common misconceptions about suffering, instead helping you find meaning in it. The authors integrate theology, psychology, and spiritual formation to provide actionable steps and tools that teach you how to suffer well in relationship with God and others. 
This book introduces seven key practices to help you uncover meaning in your suffering, equipping you to engage with suffering in a healthy, faithful way: identifying with Christ's suffering; lament; surrender; forgiveness; fratitude; memento mori (remembering our mortality); and weaving our story of suffering into God's story. 
Rather than diminishing the weight of your pain, this book is designed to help you transform suffering into an opportunity for spiritual growth and deeper connection with God. With When the Journey Hurts, you'll find that your pain can lead you closer to Jesus.

Stuck: Audio Bible Studies - The...

Jennie Allen

Do you feel stuck?
So many of us live stuck. Stuck in trying to seem perfect. Stuck in sadness. Stuck feeling numb. Stuck pursuing more stuff to make us happy. Stuck in something we can't even name. These stuck places often go unattended inside of us and they are shaping our lives more than we would like to think.
In Stuck, Bible teacher Jennie Allen shows us where we are stuck and why: We are stuck in anger because we aren't trusting God to defend us. We are stuck in discontentment because we are looking to the wrong things for fulfillment. We are stuck in worry because we have made something other than God our idol. We are stuck doing too much because we don't know our real purpose. We are stuck in sadness because we have wrong expectations.
Through deep Bible study and practical exercises, Jennie shows us how we've been trying to fix this stuck feeling with everything but God. He has a plan for these spaces inside of us, the places we feel broken, but we have to go to Him. Stuck is a journey to take an honest look at the fight going on inside, leading us to the God who has a plan to restore us. Our stuck places are the very places that make us ache for God, and we find Him waiting there for us with hope and freedom.
