Paul's letters to the Galatians, Ephesians, and Philippians have struck an indelible impression on Christian tradition and piety. In this ACCS volume, the expository voices of Jerome, Origen, Augustine, Chrysostom, Ambrosiaster, Theodoret, Marius Victorinus, and Theodore of Mopsuestia speak again with eloquence and intellectual acumen.
Often, human perspective and the mechanics of Christianity eclipse the true nature of God -- the God Who wants nothing more than to share an intimate friendship with His children. If you're wondering who God is, or if He cares, let Andrew Wommack show you The True Nature of God.
The NIV is the world's best-selling modern translation, with over 150 million copies in print since its first full publication in 1978.

In Galatians and Ephesians, Couch and Witmer help the reader discover both the heart of the apostle Paul and the heart of the New Testament gospel. In both epistles, the reader is enveloped in the truth that salvation is by Christ alone, through grace alone, by faith alone.
There are 27 books in the New Testament; in "The Bible According to Jeanne," I'm combining some of the books into a single volume. For instance, each of the 4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) are stand-alone ("The Gospels According to Jeanne"); next come Acts and Romans as the two books of "The Amazing Early Church." Next sub-series are "The Epistles of Paul the Apostle": 1st & 2nd Corinthians as one book; Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians will be one book; 1st & 2nd Thessalonians, 1st & 2nd Timothy, Titus, and Philemon will be one book; Hebrews will be one book. Then comes "The Epistles of the Apostles," with James, 1st & 2nd Peter, and I'm going to break with tradition to include Jude here; wrapping up with 1st, 2nd & 3rd John with Revelation. That will 12 books all told to cover the entire New Testament. Whew! Next year, I'll tackle the Old Testament ... maybe. Now I know a little how Eugene Peterson felt when he was writing "The Message" - a noble task, that takes years to accomplish.
