The most famous story of Jesus retold
Prodigals digs deeply into each line from Jesus's famous parable about the prodigal son, inviting all readers―those down on their luck or high on their horse―to identify as prodigals.

Rather than divide the world into prodigals and nonprodigals, Taylor...

Jacob seems to be anything but a model disciple. He's a trickster, liar, and selfishly ambitious man who fathers children with four women and leads a dysfunctional family rife with jealousy and backstabbing. But Jacob is also Israel, the namesake of the Old Testament community of God, chosen and blessed. As such, this sinner-saint, who limps along with the Lord, burdened by weakness and beset by problems, is the mirror image of all of us who follow...

Discover Jesus Throughout the Old Testament! The son trudges uphill, bearing wood for his own sacrifice; his father has decided to give him up to death. What biblical event does this bring to mind? Is it Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, or Christ's passion in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? The kinship between these two stories is deeper than mere coincidence. Christ is present in the story of Abraham and Isaac. In fact, he is present...

In this highly accessible guide to the book of Jonah, Jared Byas invites modern-day readers to explore the context behind the story and consider the questions Jonah's early audience faced: questions about the relationship between justice and mercy, what it means to be a worshipper of Yahweh (and who gets to be one), and what happens when...
