If there's one portion of the Old Testament that troubles most modern Christians more than any other, it has to be the chapters of the book of Joshua that describe Israel’s conquest of the Promised Land. We wonder how the loving, merciful God we know in Christ could have tolerated Israel’s attempt to destroy the inhabitants of Canaan.

God appointed Adam and Eve to rule over creation on his behalf. And he commanded them to increase the human race in order to spread its rule over the whole earth. This was humanity’s royal obligation.

“Hermeneutics” is a common word in theological and biblical studies, but we don’t use it often in our daily lives. What does it really mean?

There are times in history when God acts and speaks more dramatically than at other times. And as a result, revelation in biblical history rises and falls, even as it moves forward toward its final destiny.

From our modern standards, we expect trustworthy historical accounts to be comprehensive, precise and objective. However, Old Testament authors often wrote according to their didactic purposes, and not by our modern sensibilities.

Because prophecy was fundamentally a tool God used to motivate his people to obey his covenant, it was also fundamentally conditional. In other words, the prophecies about Israel’s restoration were conditioned upon Israel’s repentance and renewed covenant obedience.

As a work of divine grace, forgiveness involves all three persons of the Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

We’ll consider the basic idea of God by looking at what theologians often call the “singularity” of God, the fact that the God of the Bible is the one and only true God.

The Bible is long, and memorizing all of God's instructions for his people is difficult. This is why teachers in the Bible sought to find which of God's Biblical instructions should be prioritized.

God established feasts to give Israel regular ways to enjoy the blessings of his presence, and the gospel of John made clear how Jesus fulfilled the significance of these feasts.

When we look at Scripture, it quickly becomes clear that the Bible often speaks of God revealing himself in his actions as well as words. Both word and act revelation are important for us to understand what God teaches us.

We can be confident that what Old Testament poets told their readers about the past, present and future was true. But they often described history in ways that were something other than straightforward. And for this reason, to know what poets actually intended to communicate about objective historical facts, we have to understand the literary conventions of Old Testament poetry.

Although the Bible was written for us, it is not written directly to us. What are the significant similarities and differences between the church in Acts and the contemporary church?

Many religions and philosophies teach that the material universe is amoral, that is, neither good nor evil. Others actually say that the world is evil. Is creation inherently good?
