Jesus is the most enigmatic figure in human history! Jesus wants us to seek Him, find Him, know Him and imitate His example, but "who" is Jesus? The knowledge of this truth is the cornerstone to understand the Image Bearer series. "Image" is a scripture-based book about the identity of Jesus that explains why He does what He does. How was He able to perform all those miracles and walk on water? This insightful book reveals the answers to those mysteries.Jesus is Lord. This benchmark of Christian theology is the keystone of our salvation, yet our comprehension of who Jesus is has been minimized by man-centric and mystical doctrines which have forgotten the greater aspects of who He is, was, and always will be. Jesus was not promoted from a junior lieutenant position to govern all creation as the reward for living a sinless life and being raised to life again; Jesus has always been Lord of all.There are 111 names for Jesus in the Bible. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, and the always Eternal One who proceeds from the Father since before the beginning of anything. Jesus is Lord over all. Jesus created everything and He is the Image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15-18). Jesus is the Manifested One. Once we come to the knowledge of this truth, that Jesus is King of kings and Lord over everything in heaven and on earth, we will then be able to fully grasp His identity as is found in all books of the Bible, we will be able to comprehend the larger picture of our faith in Christ, and we will more fully understand our true identity in Christ as well.Jesus is the Message and the Messenger. Jesus came to earth as the Son of Man for one primary reason: to teach us about the Father and show us how to live as sons and daughters of our heavenly Father. We get our identity from Jesus. Our true identity is found - in Christ!

A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.

Perhaps no book in the history of the world has been as misunderstood and misappropriated as the Book of Revelation. Those people versed in the methods of scholarly interpretation (exegesis) may understand the symbolism of this work, but what about the general reader? How is he or she to know whether this book is being soundly interpreted or misinterpreted? Father Chapman writes for the general reader, for the many who need to understand the truth of The Message of the Book of Revelation -both its historical message and its message for Christians today. He explains, phrase by phrase, in clear, direct terms what has been learned about the genre of writings called apocalyptic literature - of which Revelation is a part - and how that knowledge can be properly used to interpret the images and symbols of Revelation. Faithful to the teaching of the Church, this explanation of Revelation "reveals" this biblical book to be an inspiring, hope-filled, poetic portrayal of the triumph of Christ and his followers over the powers of evil. The Rev. Charles T. Chapman, Jr., was raised and educated as a Southern Baptist. He joined the Episcopal Church in 1980 and was ordained priest in 1987. He holds degrees from Union University and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, with further training at the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest. With Bible teaching and writing among his principle interests, Fr. Chapman offers this commentary in the hopes that reason and scholarship can shed light on a biblical work where baseless, extravagant imagination has long cast its shadow.

One of the biggest mysteries in Christianity is the meaning of the number 666. It refers to man and the beast. But how? And who gave it that meaning? In her book, The Revelation of 666 Man and Image, author Leticia “Lee” Verdin reveals the ultimate image created by man. There is no other image that can surpass 666 as 666 was made in the image of man, who was made in the image of God. Created in the image of God, 666 can choose to mirror the Creator in deed, but the man-created image was set up in honor of the beast. Man can choose to worship and serve God or to worship and serve the beast. It’s a spiritual matter of life or death. In the insightful and thought-provoking The Revelation of 666 Man and Image, Verdin details the importance of knowing more about the relationship between God and Satan. You will also learn how Satan uses his wiles to corrupt us and take our souls. Knowledge can provide the tools necessary to defeating the beast.
