From one point of view Genesis is the most remarkable book in the Bible. Without this book, the others could never have been written because each is an outgrowth of the first and inseparably linked with it in one way or another. Every portion of the law, prophets and holy writings (Luke 24:44) is intricately related to Genesis. Jesus, the apostles, and each New Testament letter are inextricably connected with and based on the Genesis account. From the foreword by Stephen D. Eckstein Jr., Ph.D.

In studying the Bible, students often read its component parts at various times and in different ways. For example, some Christians have studied Genesis and Exodus 1-20, and then skipped to the New Testament. Others have studied Matthew, Acts, Romans and Hebrews without any prior examination of the whole Old Testament. Some have even tried to study Revelation without earnestly searching out the riches in the prophets, which are of great value in helping a student to understand the final New Testament letter. Therefore, it is my conviction that a new emphasis should be made upon Old Testament study in order to lay a proper foundation for understanding much of the New Testament. It is quite possible that such an intensive effort extended over several years could alter considerably our concepts of these twenty-seven letters.The obvious place to begin a study of the Old Testament is in the. first five books -the Jewish Law (Torah). The rest of the Bible is based firmly upon these scriptures and their meaning. Thus, it is with a keen sense of responsibility that I embark upon this effort to expose in a small way with my limited insight these inexhaustible treasures of God given to men. From the Foreward by Stephen D. Eckstein, Jr., Ph.D.

This book looks at the problem of biblical illiteracy in the American teaching institutions of families, churches, and schools. It examines the biblical passages, factors, and consequences of biblical illiteracy.

The material for this project is intended to facilitate the study of the book Roman Catholics and Evangelicals: Agreements and Differences by Norman Geisler and Ralph MacKenzie. It was presented to a group of people, followed by a nine-question evaluation in the form of a retrospective post-then-pre survey design because it is a popular way to assess learners' self-reported changes in knowledge, awareness, skills, confidence, attitudes, or behaviors.The open letter to a Roman Catholic is intended to provide a starting dialog with practicing Roman Catholics about the doctrinal areas in which they both agree and disagree with Evangelical Protestants. It is my experience that many Roman Catholics sound more like Evangelical Protestants in the practice of their faith than they do Roman Catholics. They love Jesus and believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God. The intent, as always with a civil dialogue, is to discuss truth that is based upon biblical Scripture, in hopes that reconciliation over the differences may occur based upon that truth search. The assumption of this open letter is that the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the only source of authority for Christians to follow in the practice of their faith.

This monograph defines the nature and problem of moral evil from a philosophical perspective as presented by several notable philosophers of religion and theologians. Some personal examples of tragedy are shared. Four main categories of the deductive, inductive, intellectual, and emotional problem of evil were defined with several additional subcategories being noted.The main chapters analyze the classical arguments from evil by Augustine and Leibniz. The problem of evil in recent scholarship looks at the writings of several theistic and atheistic philosophers of religion from the contemporary period of the twentieth century up the present. A modest cross-section of some efforts toward constructing a biblical theodicy was provided by several scholars from a philosophical, biblical, theological, and practical perspective.The conclusion notes the challenge and difficulty of constructing a Christian theodicy by presenting a multi-faceted approach to the problem of evil.

In these powerful pages, Timothy Gordon argues that Christ did more than establish a clerical patriarchy - an all-male priesthood. He also created a lay patriarchy of male householders who act as priests, prophets, and kings of their families.

An examination of how Americas colleges have become an intellectual hell on Earth for anyone who wishes to think rationally and seek truth and wisdom, as well as a plan for how young citizens can claim and safeguard the learning and heritage to which they are entitled.From safe-spaces and trigger warnings, to grievance studies and neo-Marxist indoctrination, to sexual degeneracy and hook-up culture, to student loan indentured servitude, to useless degrees with no translatable real-world application, the modern-day American university now functions as the complete inversion of its original purpose. Rather than creating civically-minded, competent citizens and adults able to provide for themselves, their families, and their society, America's universities now function as institutional assembly lines for the production of the new 21st century global citizen-serf: atomized, infantilized, dependent, and pacified. This book provides the definitive diagnosis of what exactly happened to America's universities while giving the reader a blueprint for how young citizens, parents, and local communities alike can safeguard, escape, and begin resisting such pernicious indoctrination and illogical woke nonsense.
