Bibleandkoran.net seeks to foster understanding between Muslims and Christians by giving access to both the Bible and the Koran (Qur’an). One great feature of this site is the ability to search both books so that you can compare what each book says about a particular subject or person.

Peace Lost, Restored and Made: Part 2, Peace in the Old Testament

Posted in Bible, Peace, Theology on June 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Peace (shalom) in the Old Testament Before we can see how the gospel brings peace, we need to first better understand what peace is. The concept of shalom (peace) in the Old Testament is complex and worthy of diligent study. It connotes much more than just an absence of conflict. It also includes the ideas [...]

Peace Lost, Restored and Made: Part 1, Introduction

Posted in Bible, Peace, Theology on June 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I recently wrote a paper titled, “Peace Lost, Restored and Made: The Centrality of Peace in the Gospel.” I have seen that peace is a major theme in the Bible, but unfortunately it doesn’t get the attention it deserves because when we talk about it too many people think we are merely talking about war [...]

The Jesus Storybook Bible for kids is one of the best children’s Bibles we’ve read. We love the subtitle: Every Story Whispers His Name. Understanding that the whole Bible speaks about and points to Jesus Christ is crucial if we are going to understand what the message of the Bible is. Here is a video [...]

Evidence of the Resurrection

Posted in Bible, Jesus Christ on April 3, 2010 | 2 Comments »

From the Crossway blog: Excerpt modified from chapter 9 of Doctrine (Read the full chapter). Without the resurrection, the few billion people today who worship Jesus as God are gullible; their hope for a resurrection life after this life is the hope of silly fools who trust in a dead man to give them life.

Contentious Issues – The Son of God, Part 6: Believers Are Sons and Daughters of God

Posted in Bible, Contentious Issues, Theology on February 28, 2010 | 2 Comments »

(If there are awards for longest time between posts in a blog series, I would be a serious contender.) In one sense all people are children of God. Paul affirmed this in his sermon to the people of Athens, who were idol worshipers. He told them that God made us all so that we would [...]

A few years ago I taught a course on systematic theology at our church. One of the things I gave the students on the first night was a list of verses from Psalm 119 (the Zabur) that speak about our heart and attitude when we study the Bible. Since I posted about how Muslims are [...]

Posted in Bible, Contentious Issues, Jesus Christ, Theology on December 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Now we come to the most contentious part of this contentious issue. We have seen that the Bible teaches Adam was the son of God, the people of Israel were the son of God, the son of David was the son of God and that Jesus Christ fulfills each of these so that he is [...]

Happy Thanksgiving (belated) Eid Mubarak This week we celebrated Thanksgiving and Eid Al-Adha. They go together really well. Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks to God, the one to whom all thanks is due, for all good things are from him.
