The assumption that Jesus existed as a historical person has occasionally been questioned in the course of the last hundred years or so, but any doubts that have been raised have usually been put to rest in favor of imagining a blend of the historical, the mythical, and the theological in the surviving records of Jesus. Historian and philosopher Richard Carrier reexamines the whole question and finds compelling reasons to suspect the more daring assumption is correct.

Sometimes the Bible reads like a museum gallery: Stories unfolding in bright swatches of color and brushstrokes of glory, with larger-than-life figures like Abraham, David, and Jesus Himself showcased in beautiful lighting with polished plaques gleaming beneath them. But hidden in the corners of the gallery and tucked between the pages of Scripture are the stories that have been passed over—ordinary people who remain minimized, forgotten, or unseen. In this teaching series, we'll encounter those who may have been overlooked for centuries, but were deeply seen, called, and used by God.

Who wrote Great Expectations? That’s easy: Charles Dickens. Who’s the author of Beloved? Toni Morrison, of course. Now how about the Old Testament? You’d think for a book as widely known, studied, and distributed as the Bible, the question of authorship would have been sorted out by now. But the question is more complex (and fascinating) than it seems. Why? Because asking it is to challenge everything we might assume about the Bible’s identity as a book, about what “writing” and “authorship” really mean, and about how a written text could become sacred.

In Through the Veil, seer and bestselling author Blake Healy unveils a powerful prophetic theme threaded throughout Scripture: the rise of man-made empires. It begins in Eden, when humanity first chose to define good and evil on its own terms. It continues through the Tower of Babel, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, and into the modern day―where empires are no longer built with bricks, but with ideas, identities, and ideologies. These cultural strongholds are attempts to recreate heaven on earth without God, often fueled by distorted justice and spiritual deception.

He who wants a correct understanding of holiness must first begin by examining the vast and solemn subject of sin. He must dig down very deep if he wants to build high. Wrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption. Practical holiness and entire self-consecration to God are not given adequate attention by modern Christians. The unsaved sometimes rightly complain that Christians are not as kind and unselfish and good-natured as those who make no profession of faith.

The book of Ezekiel contains some of the most incredible prophecies in the Bible, including detailed description of a nuclear war and the cleanup afterward. Ezekiel ministered to a nation experiencing judgment for its sins, and may have some lessons for us today. Ezekiel's name means "God strengthens, or God will strengthen". Ezekiel is one of the three that were called Captivity Prophets (the other two are Jeremiah and Daniel). Ezekiel never mentions Jeremiah in his writings, but he does mention Daniel three times.

It can no longer be assumed that most people - or even most Christians - have a basic understanding of the Bible. Many don’t know the difference between the Old and New Testament, and even the more well-known biblical figures are often misunderstood. It is getting harder to talk about Jesus accurately and compellingly because listeners have no proper context with which to understand God’s story of redemption. In this basic introduction to faith, D. A. Carson takes seekers, new Christians, and small groups through the big story of scripture. He helps listeners to know what they believe and why they believe it.
