| This book has a modest goal, namely to give students of theology the necessary information in this field. It concentrates on the Graeco-Roman sphere; it does not deal with Judaism, with which Christianity has quite a different (closer) relationship.Originally written in German, this book has been translated and revised in this great edition. A splendid guide in which Klauck treats civic and domestic religion, the mystery cults, popular beliefs (astrology, soothsaying, miracles, and magic), the cult of rulers and emperors, philosophy and religion, and gnosticism. Fascinating to read and a valuable reference. |

| No story has more significance than this: the death and resurrection of Jesus. But somehow the oft-repeated tale of Christ's Passion can become too familiar, too formalized, for us to experience its incredible immediacy. The meditations in Reliving the Passion, which received a Gold Medallion award in 1993, follow the story as given in the gospel of Mark -- from the moment when the chief priests plot to kill Jesus to the Resurrection. But these readings are more than a recounting of events; they are an imaginary reenactment, leading the reader to re-experience the Passion or perhaps see it fully for the very first time. As only a great storyteller can, Walter Wangerin takes his readers inside the story of Christ's passion. Drawn from the Gospel of Mark, Reliving the Passion translates the events - from the moment when the chief priests plot to kill Jesus to the Resurrection - into the realm of feeling, image, and experience. In richly personal detail, Wangerin helps us recognize our own faces in the streets of Jerusalem; breathe the dark air of Golgotha; and experience, as Mary and Peter did, the bewilderment, the challenge, and the ultimate revelation of knowing the man called Jesus. A perfect devotional for the Lenten season. |

| The collection of books known as the Bible contains history's greatest stories. One of the most intriguing -- and controversial -- is the Book of Jonah. Tucked in near the end of the Hebrew Scriptures, the book chronicles the almost-legendary story of a prophet sent to preach to one of the ancient world's most brutal regimes, Assyria. And that is precisely the problem with Jonah; was he real? Or, as modern commentators like to speculate, was he some mixture of myth and truth? In this book, beloved conservative scholar Henry Morris presents compelling evidence that Jonah was in fact very real. Not only that, the "great fish" that swallowed him was also real. The spiritual insights that Morris has gleaned over the decades sparkle in the light of biblical truth. Readers will find their faith strangthened by the reality of Jonah's life, and the lessons he has for all of us. |

| Far from being an engaging fable, the account of Job in the Bible is one of the most historically and scientifically accurate records of the ancient world. Perhaps the oldest book in the Bible, the Book of Job touches on many subjects of science and history: an ice age and hydrologic processes in the oceans, to accounts of cave-dwelling people. This commentary on the controversial Book of Job is very different from most of the seminary and Church teachings so prevalent today, for it attests to the historicity of a man named Job who understood at the end of his life that God cannot be "figured out," but He can most certainly be trusted. |
