In this first Volume of Origins, that question that has been so often asked over that ages finally has an answer as do so many, many more. While Origins IS a Great Adventure story, the Real Reason that Great Pop had me experience and write it was like He said in the Beginning "So there would be No Question Left, about Him, Origins, Medicine, Real Spirituality, the How of things and pretty much everything else".

When it comes to the history of the universe, many believe that science and faith are mutually exclusive. But in this revised version of Origins, physics professors Loren and Deborah Haarsma explore what God's Word and God's world teach us about creation, evolution, and intelligent design. Clearly explaining the science, the authors focus on areas where Christians agree. They also present the strengths and weaknesses of areas where Christians differ. Origins helps you develop a deeper understanding of the origins of the universe and sort out your own views on faith and science. Small group discussion questions follow each chapter. A companion website provides resources for further study.

You can believe with great intellectual integrity what the Bible says about Adam and the origin and history of man!

A growing number of professing evangelical leaders and scholars are doubting or denying a literal Adam and a literal Fall, which thereby undermines the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Last Adam, who came to undo the damaging consequences of Adam’s sin and restore us to a right relationship with our Creator.

Enhance your understanding pertaining to the biblical evidence for taking Genesis as literal historyDiscover the scientific evidence from genetics, fossils, and human anatomy for the Bible’s teaching about AdamUnderstand the moral, spiritual, and gospel reasons why belief in a literal Adam and Fall are essential for Christian orthodoxy

Recognizing the absence of a God named Yahweh outside of ancient Israel, this study addresses the related questions of Yahweh's origins and the biblical claim that there were Yahweh-worshipers other than the Israelite people. Beginning with the Hebrew Bible, with an exhaustive survey of ancient Near Eastern literature and inscriptions discovered by archaeology, and using anthropology to reconstruct religious practices and beliefs of ancient Edom and Midian, this study proposes an answer. Yahweh-worshiping Midianites of the Early Iron Age brought their deity along with metallurgy into ancient Palestine and the Israelite people.

Hailed as "the most radical repackaging of the Bible since Gutenberg", these Pocket Canons give an up-close look at each book of the Bible.

In How on Earth Did Jesus Become a God? Larry Hurtado investigates the intense devotion to Jesus that emerged with surprising speed after his death. Reverence for Jesus among early Christians, notes Hurtado, included both grand claims about Jesus' significance and a pattern of devotional practices that effectively treated him as divine. This book argues that whatever one makes of such devotion to Jesus, the subject deserves serious historical consideration. Mapping out the lively current debate about Jesus, Hurtado explains the evidence, issues, and positions at stake. He goes on to treat the opposition to -- and severe costs of -- worshiping Jesus, the history of incorporating such devotion into Jewish monotheism, and the role of religious experience in Christianity's development out of Judaism. The follow-up to Hurtado's award-winningLord Jesus Christ (2003), this book provides compelling answers to queries about the development of the church's belief in the divinity of Jesus.

Have you ever wondered where the Universe came from? Did it come from a big bang billions of years ago or did an Intelligence far beyond our own create it? If the Universe was created then why was it created and what’s its purpose? What’s man’s purpose, where did we come from, did we evolve from primordial ooze, or were we created in the likeness of that same intelligence? Did this intelligence, this God, always exist? Where did he come from, how did he come into existence? Why would this God, this spirit, have the likeness of a man with arms, legs, and feet? Answers to these questions have eluded mankind since the dawn of time. Many theories have attempted to answer them but there are always flaws. Questions still remain. Questions such as, where did the matter and energy of this big bang come from, how could it just happen to be there? I believe that hidden deep in the pages of the Bible lay the answers to all of these questions, and for thousands of years no one has realized it nor been able to put it all together. However, after seven years of research I believe that this book can answer all of the above questions without leaving any loose ends. I believe that contained within the pages of this book lay the answers to all of mankind’s deepest questions. Answers to questions such as, where did God come from, why was the Universe created, what is mankind’s purpose, and the age-old question, which came first, the chicken or the egg? This little book can also tell you where we as a civilization are headed and what our ultimate fate will be, all from the Bible.

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 readers to know what they believe and why they believe it. The companion leader's guide helps evangelistic study groups, small groups, and Sunday school classes make the best use of this book in group settings.
