Gabriel regularly faces death threats from terrorists, condemnation from critics, and attacks from the "PC police", yet she refuses to back down.

Jörg Schwarz zeichnet ein vielgestaltiges Bild der mittelalterlichen Stadt. Wer lebte dort? Welche sozialen Gruppen gab es...

Lernen ist Wissen, Wissen ist Macht. In Geschichtsbüchern und in den Schulen wird so wenig über die jüngste Vergangenheit berichtet. Vom Kuckucksruf und den Sirenen der Luftangriffe, von der Besetzung Wiens spannt sich der bewegende Bogen der vielen spannenden Tondokumente der österreichischen Nachkriegsgeschichte über den Staatsvertrag 1955, den Ungarnaufstand und das Treffen Kennedy-Chrustschow in Wien bis zu Bruno Kreisky.

Do we have anything in common with the bad guys of the Bible? The sins of wrath, idolatry, and abuse of power are closer to us than we think. How do we guard against them? We learn not only by following moral exemplars; we also need to look at the warnings of lives gone wrong. In this fictionalized narrative, JR. Forasteros reintroduces us to some of the most villainous characters of Scripture. He shows us what we can learn from their negative examples, with figures such as Cain, Jezebel, and even Satan serving as cautionary tales of sin and temptation.

Kriege sind das große Paradox der Menschheit. Damit Gesellschaften sie führen können, ist nach innen eine umfassendere – und oft auch selbstlosere – Kooperation nötig als bei fast jeder anderen Tätigkeit. Und nach außen das genaue Gegenteil. Nur so können sich Menschen ohne Rücksicht auf das eigene Leben gemeinsam auf Fremde stürzen, um diese zu töten. Diese Ausgabe von G/Geschichte geht der Frage nach, wann und wie dieses widersprüchliche Verhalten begann. Und ob es einen Ausweg daraus gibt.

Christianity is a picture of reality. It explains why the world is the way it is. When the pieces of this puzzle are properly assembled, we see the big picture clearly. Christianity is a true story of how the world began, why the world is the way it is, what role humans play in the drama, and how all the plotlines of the story are resolved in the end. In The Story of Reality, best-selling author and host of Stand to Reason Gregory Koukl explains the five words that form the narrative backbone of the Christian story.

One of the most inspirational and influential spiritual leaders of the 20th century, minister and best-selling author Norman Vincent Peale transformed the lives of millions worldwide with his groundbreaking book, The Power of Positive Thinking. In The Positive Power of Jesus Christ, the revered pastor of the world-famous Marble Collegiate Church proclaims his unshakable faith in Christ the Savior with inspiring stories of healing and hope, of the ways in which his life and the lives of others were profoundly touched by the holy hand of God's Son.

Top Jesus scholars Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan join together to reveal a radical and little-known Jesus. As both authors reacted to and responded to questions about Mel Gibson's blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, they discovered that many Christians are unclear on the details of events during the week leading up to Jesus's crucifixion. Using the gospel of Mark as their guide, Borg and Crossan present a day-by-day account of Jesus's final week of life. They begin their story on Palm Sunday with two triumphal entries into Jerusalem.

Wie kommt es, dass Christi Geburt in der Tradition nach Bethlehem verlegt wurde, obwohl doch historisch wenig dafür spricht, dass er dort geboren wurde...

Rom 1657: Der aus Westfalen stammende Geheimkämmerer des Papstes erhält einen verzweifelten Hilferuf des Bischofs von Paderborn, der sich mit einer explosionsartig anschwellenden Zahl "vom Teufel Besessener" konfrontiert sieht. Was soll er tun? Soll er, wie viele seiner Untertanen fordern, eine Hexenjagd in Gang setzen?

Is God a sadistic torturer? Coldhearted judge? Genocidal maniac? Unfortunately, our popular caricatures often make him out to be. God has some skeletons in the closet. At least, that's what many of us fear. "How can a loving God send people to hell?" "Isn't it arrogant to believe Jesus is the only way to God?" "What is up with holy war in the Old Testament?" These are difficult questions that our family, our friends, our culture - even we ourselves - are asking.

The prophets of old were not easy to listen to because they did not flatter. They did not cajole. They spoke hard words that often chafed and unsettled their listeners. Like the Old Testament prophets, and more recent prophetic voices like Frederick Douglass, Dr. Eric Mason calls the evangelical church to a much-needed reckoning.  

John Newton, Charles Simeon, and William Wilberforce suffered lifelong opposition and endured for the causes of gospel truth, missionary zeal, and political justice. They found, in solid doctrine and humble joy, the tough roots for habitual tenderness in response to their adversaries - without doctrinal or moral flinching. They are examples of remarkable grace. In the third book of the Swans Are Not Silent series, best-selling author John Piper looks at the lives of these three great men and how they not only endured great opposition but did so with joy and without bitterness.

In the midst of our hectic, overscheduled lives, caring for the soul is imperative. Now, more than ever, we need to pause - intentionally - and encounter the Divine. Soul care director Barbara Peacock illustrates a journey of prayer, spiritual direction, and soul care from an African American perspective. She reflects on how these disciplines are woven into the African American culture and lived out in the rich heritage of its faith community.

Like the ancient Israelites, the African American community has survived a 400-year collective trauma. What will it take for them to reach the promised land that King foresaw - to be truly free at last? In this classic historical and cultural study, Carl Ellis offers an in-depth assessment of the state of African American freedom and dignity. Stressing how important it is for African Americans to reflect on their roots, he traces the growth of Black consciousness from the days of slavery to the 1990s, noting especially the contributions of King and Malcolm X.
