      The book of Nehemiah’s opening verse immediately declares that “Nehemiah, son of Hacaliah,” contrary to other so-called historical books of the Old Testament, is named as the author of this book. Nehemiah’s name means “Yahweh/Jehovah comforts,” and his father’s name means “Yahweh/Jehovah is hidden.” Thus, Nehemiah began his own personal account of his memoires as directed by the Holy Spirit. The first seven chapters of Nehemiah are all written in the first-person pronoun, as well as the material in Nehemiah 12:31-13:31. Therefore, we are given an unusual and unique look into the heart and life of an outstanding servant-leader of God. Nehemiah combined a steady life of prayer, a deep trust in the Lord, along with unusually careful planning, good organization skills and energetic action in the twelve years of his administration over the province of Judah.

      The Biblical Case for Eating Meat

      The book explores the historical context of vegetarianism within Christianity, highlighting that it was once viewed as just an option rather than a moral imperative. It emphasizes that the biblical tradition does not elevate a plant-based diet over meat consumption, affirming that eating meat is permissible and even divinely sanctioned. This perspective challenges common assumptions about spirituality and diet in the Christian faith.

    • Practical, scriptural discussions of tough topics such as polygamy, genocide, and the role of women in the Old Testament The God of the Old Testament can seem very foreign to Christians. His actions appear to starkly contrast with the God of grace in the New Testament and with modern notions of justice and propriety. In this short volume, Old Testament scholar Walter Kaiser devotes each chapter to a different difficult subject, including creation, the wrath of God, the genocide of the Canaanites, God's knowledge of the future, polygamy, Satan, the view of women, and application of the Old Testament law. He addresses each topic in a practical, accessible tone, with pastoral insight and humor, consistently focusing on the Scriptures. The reader will find that there are not two different gods in the Bible and that the Old Testament is not an antique artifact that should now be jettisoned from Christianity. The Old Testament and the God it depicts is One with the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. His actions, when properly understood, are not at variance with the New Testament; rather, a view of the beautiful unity in the Bible as a whole will strengthen the church's faith and aid in Christian witness and apologetics.

      Abraham is referred to in Scripture as the "Father of many nations." In fact, the Ishmaelites, the Edomites, the offspring of Keturah, and all the Israelites come from him! There are two other nations, viz., the Moabites and Ammonites, that come from his nephew Lot, a man whose life and times were closely related to those of Abraham. This makes Abraham, therefore, somewhat of unique character, for even though Abraham takes a most central position in the book of Genesis, he is not the ancestor of just one single national group. As a consequence, most of the story about Abraham must be gathered from a number of stories in this book of Genesis instead of a single "Abrahamic source." The material that covers the life and work of Abraham emphasizes the Covenant between God and Abraham and the most significant part of that document, the promise of a son and heir of all Abram has been blessed with. It is this emphasis that makes its resemblance to the gospel in the New Testament so special and noteworthy!

    • Der Eurofrust des Dr. Thilo Sarrazin

      Fakten und Folgerungen aus und zu dem Buch "Europa braucht den Euro nicht"

      Die Bildzeitung fragt: "Hat Sarrazin Recht?" Der Ex-SPD-Finanzminister Steinbrück meint, das Buch sei "unpolitisch aufs Scheitern fixiert". Ein Ökonomie-Professor ist der Ansicht, es sei "ein langweiliges Technokratenbuch". Und die F.A.Z. schreibt: "Ein preußischer Europäer - Sarrazin sagt mehr Vernünftiges als viele seiner Kritiker". Die Urteile über Sarrazins Buch sind wieder einmal geteilt. Sarrazins Buch ist auch diesmal keine leichte Kost. Es erfordert Zeit, Mühe und Konzentration, um es intensiv zu studieren. Zumindest Grundkenntnisse der Volks- und Finanzwirtschaft wären für das Verständnis äußerst hilfreich. Dieses kompakte Taschenbuch ist interessant für Sie, wenn Sie a) Sarrazins Buch nicht gekauft haben, aber dennoch mitreden möchten, b) es gekauft haben, aber nicht oder nicht ganz gelesen haben oder c) es gelesen haben, aber nochmals wichtige Aussagen zusammengefasst und leichter verständlich sich in Erinnerung rufen wollen. In allgemeinverständlicher Sprache, mit vielen Abbildungen und ergänzenden Informationen aus Tages-, Wochenpresse und Internet erhält man einen fundierten Einblick in die kritische Diskussion zur Eurorettung.

      Benedikt und Machiavelli - Zwei historische Führungsphilosophien

      DAS BUCH Literatur über Managemend und Führung füllt Bibliotheken. Empfehlungen bewegen sich zwischen sanfter Manipulation auf der einen Seite und harter Repression and der anderen. Zwei Führungskonzepte haben die Jahrhunderte überdauert und beeinflussen das Führungsverständnis heute noch. Es sind die Regeln des Mönches Benedikt von Nursia (480-547) für das klösterliche Leben und es ist das Buch "Der Fürst" vom Machtpolitiker Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527). Angelehnt an Original-Zitate wird analysiert, wie sich die unterscheiden und was davon heute noch gültig sein könnte.

      In this book Walt Kaiser makes the case for the unity of the Bible. The theological unity of the Bible celebrates the diversity of the Bible, but does so with the conviction that even though that unity can be tested historically, ethically, and otherwise, it has not detracted from the central case for the theological harmony that is found in the text. This has been the general conclusion of two millennia of Judo-Christian exegesis.
