We know the stories -- Adam and Eve, David and Goliath, Jesus feeding the five thousand. We know the verses -- John 3:16, Psalm 23, 1 Corinthians 13. But how many of us can take the separate pieces and fit them into the Bible as a whole? With the common practice of taking passages out of context, even active Bible readers tackling a chapter or more every day can easily lose sight of the whole biblical story.James Chatham, a beloved minister and Bible teacher, has spent decades offering the panorama of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation to those who want to understand God's Word more fully. He now spreads the wealth in this practical volume. In twenty-six short segments designed to facilitate Bible study, Creation to Revelation weaves the disparate stories and familiar verses into a complete narrative and thematic framework, taking "the whole counsel of God" into account. Pertinent sidebars, carefully designed discussion questions, and two helpful appendixes -- a chronology of the Bible's story and select daily Bible readings -- enhance Chatham's overview.Extremely accessible to a wide audience, this pithy book is meant not to replace the Bible but rather to lure us into reading it -- and to help us better understand its message.

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.

Reading Revelation Responsibly is for those who are confused by, afraid of, and/or preoccupied with the book of Revelation. In rescuing the Apocalypse from those who either completely misinterpret it or completely ignore it, Michael Gorman has given us both a guide to reading Revelation in a responsible way and a theological engagement with the text itself. He takes interpreting the book as a serious and sacred responsibility, believing how one reads, teaches, and preaches Revelation can have a powerful impact on one's own--and other people's--well-being. Gorman pays careful attention to the book's original historical and literary contexts, its connections to the rest of Scripture, its relationship to Christian doctrine and practice, and its potential to help or harm people in their life of faith. Rather than a script for the end times, Gorman demonstrates how Revelation is a script for Christian worship, witness, and mission that runs counter to culturally embedded civil religion.

Under the guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars, you and your small group will here discover that the bizarre images of Revelation conceal one of Scripture's clearest and most dramatic visions of God's plan for creation.

Creation Cries Out! is the first book in The Original Revelation series. The 14 books in The Original Revelation clearly define the great deception, the false religion, the false messiah, the true Messiah, the Kingdom of God (Yahuah), and the renewed covenant. In this first book Creation Cries Out! we begin our search for the truth with a journey back to Creation to define the message written in the stars by our Creator Yahuah. We reclaim that message to His Glory. We will take a critical look at the origin of mankind, the fall of the angelic realm, myths of the gods that rules over humanity, myths of giants, myths of vampires, and more to help us understand the world in which our ancient ancestors lived. A world communicated throughout the Ages using Mythology as their means of communication. We'll look at the truth behind the myths. We'll explain the origin of the many "solar messiahs" throughout history, and much more. Creation Cries Out! 3rd Edition - The book of the Mazzaroth, is the most complete book ever written on what the Bible calls the Mazzaroth and what we today call the Zodiac. It is the Heavenly Scroll and source of all the prophets in the Bible. In the Mazzaroth the Plan of Salvation is laid out by the Creator and the Messiah's role is defined. In the Mazzaroth, we find the first prophesies of: - The Sabbath - The Ages of mankind - The first and second comings of the Messiah - The Messiah ben Joseph (suffering servant) - The Messiah ben David (conquering King) - The Fall and Spring Feast Cycles of Yahuah - The Wedding Portrait, the Bride and Bridegroom - The Two Houses of Israel - The source of all pagan kings and "Christs" - The age of individual life (70 years) ... and much more. In this book I explain how Yahuah used the Zodiac to witness the Gospel to all the prophets, Abraham, the Galatians, Sha'ul (Paul the Apostle), and John the revelator. I explain in detail the visions of Ezekiel, Daniel, and John in Revelation and how they were told to "Behold! The Heavenly Scroll" and described the Enoch Zodiac in great detail. I explain how the Mazzaroth/Zodiac is the real meaning behind the English word "heaven". I bring to light many scriptures throughout the Bible that are specifically speaking of the Zodiac/Heavenly Scroll. In this book, difficult concepts are explained in plain English. I address the question "does the Bible condemn the Zodiac, or proclaim it?" What is "divination", what is the difference between a Prophet and a Soothsayer? What is Astrology and is there a righteous example of it? This book is 430 pages of fully illustrated and well defined Truth that has alluded mankind since the creation of man. I explain how the message in the Zodiac has been perverted and the Battle of the Ages between the Truth of the Creator and sun worship comes down to the Zodiac. The false messiah is defined by the corrupted message found in the Zodiac. The True Messiah is the fulfillment of the Original Revelation from Yahuah to all mankind found written in the stars. This book lays the foundation for The Original Revelation Series.

Slightly rev. version of the author's thesis (Ph. D.)--Macquarie University, 2009.

Foreword by Peter Machinist Hermann Gunkel's groundbreaking Schöpfung und Chaos, originally published in German in 1895, is here translated in its entirety into English for the first time. Even though available only in German, this work by Gunkel has had a profound influence on modern biblical scholarship. Discovering a number of parallels between the biblical creation accounts and a Babylonian creation account, the Enuma Elish, Gunkel argues that ancient Babylonian traditions shaped the Hebrew people's perceptions both of God's creative activity at the beginning of time and of God's re-creative activity at the end of time. Including illuminating introductory pieces by eminent scholar Peter Machinist and by translator K. William Whitney, Gunkel's Creation and Chaos will appeal to serious students and scholars in the area of biblical studies.
