The Greek word apokalypsis means an unveiling or disclosure – apo = from, since; kalypsis = cover, veiled, being hidden. The English title Revelation and the traditional title Apocalypse express the same idea: something which cannot ordinarily be seen is being made known. Revelation does not principally attempt to conceal information within a collection of puzzles; it unveils the true character of the world by showing earthly history from the standpoint of the throne of God and the slain Lamb [ … ]

The story of Joseph begins within a family already marked by division. Genesis has traced generations shaped by rivalry, favouritism, deception and estrangement. The conflict between Cain and Abel established early the destructive force of jealousy between brothers. Later narratives repeat similar patterns in different forms: Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, Leah and Rachel. By the time Joseph appears, the family of Jacob already carries deep instability within itself [ … ]

The Book Of Exodus begins with a people who have become hidden beneath power. Descendants of Jacob remain in Egypt, yet the memory of Joseph has faded into distance. What once began in preservation has hardened into oppression. Pharaoh fears the increase of Israel because life itself appears threatening to a kingdom built upon control. Children of Israel are drawn into forced labour, their lives reduced to production and usefulness, their suffering absorbed into the order of empire [ … ]

The Mission: Bring Yourself To God is an invitation to rediscover the Bible as one unfolding story of God’s love for humanity. From the covenant with Abraham to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, from the call of Moses to the missionary journeys of Saint Paul, this richly illustrated volume traces the great drama of salvation history and reveals unity, which binds together Old and New Testaments [ … ]

The Epistle To The Romans combines the occasional character of an early Christian letter with extended theological argument concerning law, the Law, covenant, sin, salvation, and the relation between Jews and Gentiles. Written probably in the late 50s AD, and during Paul’s stay in Corinth, the letter was addressed to Christian communities in Rome which Paul had not himself founded. Unlike several of his other letters, Romans was not written primarily in response to a specific local crisis already familiar to him. Instead, it functions partly as an introduction to his teaching and partly as an attempt to address tensions emerging within mixed Jewish / Gentile communities in the imperial capital [ … ]

Unlike the Pauline letters, The Epistle To The Hebrews lacks a conventional opening associated with ancient correspondence and begins instead with sustained theological declaration. This resembles extended homily more than a letter, though concluding with epistolary features. Its author is unknown. There is remarkable confidence concerning the person of Christ, the meaning of Israel’s scriptures, and the nature of Christian faith [ … ]
