Books of Philemon, Hebrews, James Audiobook: From the Revised Geneva Translation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min
The Revised Geneva Translation (based on Shakespeare's favorite Bible translation) was borne of an actor's need to memorize and speak scripture out loud with specific meanings and inflections. It is a 21st century update of the very first widely distributed version of the Holy Bible in English, The Geneva Bible.Just as in all preceding centuries, Biblical text in the 1500’s was meant to be heard and seen, as much as read, because so many of those who received it were illiterate (especially Gentiles) and needed to memorize it and speak it back to each other often in order to facilitate meditation. That is why this Bible is called New Testament “Audiobook”. It is designed to be spoken and heard, repeatedly, and is built on the premise that a crucial key to revival in the present can be found in one simple practice from the past - speaking God’s Word back to each other in community.To that end, the RGT strives to preserve the textual cadence and poetry that is so essential to Elizabethan literature, while at the same time eliminating archaic and potentially distracting 16th Century words, phrases, and punctuation (such as employing the proper use of parentheses and quotation marks). It preserves the Geneva Bible’s unique poetic style (i.e. beginning every verse on a new line - which aids tremendously in memorization). However, unlike the Geneva Bibles of the 1500’s, there is no commentary or other human adornment. The RGT intentionally omits these things and makes single interpretive choices, based primarily on the translations of William Tyndale and F.H.A. Scrivener (1894). The acknowledgement and study of textual variants is left to other Bibles more properly suited for that purpose. Again, the particular purpose of this Bible is to encourage the speaking, hearing and sharing of the simple, powerful, illuminating Word of God alone (John 12:48-50).In scholarly terms, the RGT is a formal or complete equivalency, based on the Byzantine tex ungekürzt.

Secrets of Scripture: God's Wisdom & Applicable Knowledge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
Are there even secrets of the Bible or is this some gimmick?Jesus told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables.” (Mark 4:11)“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.” (Proverbs 25:2)Talking with thousands of Christians, we noticed many believers were unaware or didn’t understand the depth of the Bible’s wisdom or its secrets. After teaching for seven years, we realized many of these secrets were not known to people or they didn’t know the value of these fruitful lessons. We will try to explain these concepts to you so that you can understand them on a deep level to have a huge impact on your life.Secrets of the kingdom of heaven are real.The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” He replied, “Because, the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.” (Matthew 13:10-11)When I learned about this, I spent 16 years trying to find all the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, for each one benefited my life tremendously. The more I learned, the more it empowered me in life and blessed me. Rick Warren says there are 7,000 promises in the Bible, and my journey has been to find all of them.For, every good and perfect gift comes from God, so why are we going elsewhere to get gifts of lower value?What is the point of this audiobook?Learning the secrets of Scripture helps us fight the evil one with more ammunition in our arsenal, and we benefit greatly in knowing our inheritance and knowing what God has laid up for us. Through Secrets of Scripture, we’ll explore what Jesus taught about what creates a fruitful and fulfilling life according to God’s word. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis Logan.

How the Bible Actually Works: In Which I Explain How an Ancient, Ambiguous, and Diverse Book Leads Us to Wisdom Rather Than Answers - and Why That's Great News , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min
Controversial evangelical Bible scholar, popular blogger, podcast host of The Bible for Normal People, and author of The Bible Tells Me So and The Sin of Certainty explains that the Bible is not an instruction manual or rule book but a powerful learning tool that nurtures our spiritual growth by refusing to provide us with easy answers but instead forces us to acquire wisdom.For many Christians, the Bible is a how-to manual filled with literal truths about belief that must be strictly followed. But the Bible is not static, Peter Enns argues. It does not hold easy answers to the perplexing questions and issues that confront us in our daily lives. Rather, the Bible is a dynamic instrument for study that not only offers an abundance of insights but provokes us to find our own answers to spiritual questions, cultivating God’s wisdom within us.“The Bible becomes a confusing mess when we expect it to function as a rule book for faith. But when we allow the Bible to determine our expectations, we see that Wisdom, not answers, is the Bible’s true subject matter,” writes Enns. This distinction, he points out, is important because when we come to the Bible expecting it to be a textbook intended by God to give us unwavering certainty about our faith, we are actually creating problems for ourselves. The Bible, in other words, really isn’t the problem; having the wrong expectation is what interferes with our reading.Rather than considering the Bible as an ancient book weighed down with problems, flaws, and contradictions that must be defended by modern listeners, Enns offers a vision of the holy scriptures as an inspired and empowering resource to help us better understand how to live as a person of faith today.How the Bible Actually Works makes clear that there is no one right way to read or listen to the Bible. Moving us beyond the damaging idea that “being right” is the most important measure of faith, Enns’ freeing a ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Enns.

Assur: The History and Legacy of the Ancient Assyrian Empire's Capital City , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
In northern Iraq, on the banks of the Tigris River, lie the ruins of the ancient city of Aššur. This was the first capital and the most important religious center of the Assyrian Empire. Underneath the cover of sand and soil are almost six meters of dense stratigraphic layers that reveal the passage of millennia. Known today as Qal'at Sherqat, and also as Kilah Shregat, the city dates back to the third millennium BCE. In that time period, the Assyrian army became the largest yet seen, and their warriors were both the greatest and cruelest in the land. They conquered an empire from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea; they despoiled the great city of Babylon, and they enslaved the tribes of Israel. Even the pharaoh of Egypt paid them tribute. No army had ever carried war so far. Indeed, Aššur was the heart of one of antiquity's most infamous war machines. When scholars study the history of the ancient Near East, several wars that had extremely brutal consequences (at least by modern standards) often stand out. Forced removal of entire populations, sieges that decimated entire cities, and wanton destruction of property were all tactics used by the various peoples of the ancient Near East against each other, but the Assyrians were the first people to make war a science. When the Assyrians are mentioned, images of war and brutality are among the first that come to mind, despite the fact that their culture prospered for nearly 2,000 years. Like a number of ancient individuals and empires in that region, the negative perception of ancient Assyrian culture was passed down through Biblical accounts, and regardless of the accuracy of the Bible’s depiction of certain events, the Assyrians clearly played the role of adversary for the Israelites. Indeed, Assyria (Biblical Shinar) and the Assyrian people played an important role in many books of the Old Testament and are first mentioned in the book of Genesis: "And the beginning of his kingdom was Babe ungekürzt.
