This work by Rabbi Moshe Weiner examines the Torah Law details and foundations of the Biblical Seven Noahide Commandments (the Seven Laws of Noah). Volume 1 (First Edition) delineates the Noahide commandments and describes the fundamentals of the Noahide faith, the prohibitions of idolatry and blasphemy, the dietary prohibitions associated with eating meat that was removed from a living animal (which includes a prohibition of causing unnecessary pain to living creatures). Other topics that are relevant for righteous gentiles include permissible Torah study, prayer, moral conduct, repentance, annulment of vows, and the prohibitions of cross-mating different species of animals and cross-grafting different species of fruit trees. Volume 1 also includes an introduction which explains the Torah Law basis of Jewish outreach to gentiles for the Seven Noahide Commandments, and the obligations of gentiles to observe the traditional rabbinical explanations and rulings about the Noahide Code as it is included as part of the Torah of Moses.

Interest in the Seven Commandments for the Children of Noah (Non-Jews) is growing, and great numbers of people around the world have committed themselves to observe these commandments. Until publication of The Divine Code (now in the Fourth Edition), a comprehensive, clear, and expertly researched guide for observance and study of these Divine precepts was lacking. The Divine Code is the result of an historic project by Ask Noah International. Originally published in Hebrew by Rabbi Moshe Weiner and endorsed by prominent Torah scholars, including two Chief Rabbis of Israel, it examines the Torah-law foundations and details of the Noahide precepts. Unique among the other books on this subject, this authoritative text is footnoted with extensively researched Talmudic and post-Talmudic sources, and supplied with additional explanations and enlightening Editor's Notes throughout. It identifies and applies the fundamental principles by which the practical requirements for righteous living are determined for pious Non-Jews. This Fourth Edition encompasses all of the Seven Noahide Commandments and their principles and offshoots. It is the authorized translation according to Rabbi Weiner's personal review and editing. The book contains eight parts, beginning with Fundamentals of the Faith, followed by the seven parts which provide comprehensive explanations of each of the Seven Noahide Commandments and their many offshoots. Also included are several section introductions by the renown Rabbi J. Immanuel Schochet, o.b.m., a leading Canadian rabbi and author of many popular books on Torah-based spirituality and philosophy. Additional introductions were contributed by Joe M. Regenstein, Ph.D., a leading expert on guidelines in the meat industry for improved animal welfare; Arthur A. Goldberg, J.D., author of Light in the Closet and Director of J.I.F.G.A.; Rabbi Shimon D. Cowen, Ph.D., Director of of the Institute for Judaism and Civilization, and Michael Schulman, Ph.D., editor of the book and Executive Director of Ask Noah International and Asknoah.org. It also includes an Appendix on the Pious Gentile and the Ger Toshav in Torah Law.Recommended for late teens and adults.

This work was inspired by the book Sefer Ha?Madah (The Book of Knowledge) by Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, also known as Maimonides. Sefer Ha?Madah is the first volume of his work Mishneh Torah, which is his monumental codification of the Oral Torah Law. In it, Maimonides explains the Torah's path to true and proper faith-based knowledge. The essential points of our present book, and much of its text, have been taken from Maimonides? holy words in Sefer Ha?Madah, Beyond that, we have added background information and explanations to produce a book meant specifically for those who are, or who want to become, righteous Gentiles in God's eyes. We have not attempted to include every proper and righteous outlook, character trait, and path in life for Gentiles. However, in a general manner, this book presents the proper views and behaviors for a righteous person of any nationality or culture.

Kreeft considers all the fundamental elements of Christianity and Catholicism, explaining, defending and showing their relevance to our life and the world's yearnings. Here is a book to help you understand your faith more fully and to explain it to others more winningly. Like every religion, this faith has three aspects, corresponding to the three parts of the soul and filling the innate needs of all three parts. Kreeft uses these three divisions as the basic outline for his Christian apologetics. First, every religion has some beliefs, whether expressed in creeds or not, something for the intellect to know. Second, every religion has some duty or deed, some practice of program, some moral or ethical code, something for the will to choose. Finally, every religion has some liturgy, some worship, some "church", something for the body and the concrete imagination and the aesthetic sense to work at. Creed, Code and Cult; Words, Works and Worship, are a most useful way of outlining any religious faith, including the Catholic Faith of Christians. "These essays were written for Catholics by a Catholic. But I believe that nearly everything I say here will be found by the orthodox Biblical Protestant reader to be his faith as well: That solid and substantial core that C.S. Lewis called "mere Christianity" Peter Kreeft

Allah has sent His messenger Muhammad, peace be upon him, with the real guidance and the true religion as a mercy to mankind, as a model for those who do good, and as His argument against mankind. Through Muhammad and what was revealed to him (the Qur’an and the Prophetic sayings), Allah showed mankind all means of reforming itself and straightening its religions and mundane affairs in sound beliefs, right conduct, fine morals, and laudable manners. The Prophet, peace be upon him, “left his followers on a clear straight path, only the doomed will deviate from it” [Ibn Majah and Ahmed] His followers, the companions, their followers, and those who followed them faithfully are the best of mankind. They established his law, upheld his way, and held fast to it as a belief and practice, a moral and manner.

Biblical criticism, originally known as Higher criticism of the Bible, got started throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. At that time, Protestant scholars attacked the Bible: an intellectual, academic attack. They devised a method of studying the Bible that became known as higher criticism and now biblical criticism. These Bible critics taught that most of the Bible contained legend and myth. Some even claimed that Jesus never existed. For the liberal-moderate Bible scholar then and now, the Word of God, the Bible has become the word of man, and a very chaotic, distorted word at that. The modern-day liberal-moderate Bible scholar says that much of the Bible “is just wrong.” This thinking is the result of biblical criticism. Biblical higher criticism is conjectural and uncertain, doubtful in the extreme. Today, these Bible scholars who make up most of our seminaries explain the Bible accounts of miracles as myths, legends, or folk tales. They do not even entertain the idea that there is the possibility that they actually occurred. This viewpoint is subjective and gives no reliable reason to reject the Bible as inspired, fully inerrant, authentic, and trustworthy. Biblical criticism is highly defective, and its centuries-long assault on the Bible has not proven that the Bible is not the Word of God. Many conservative Christians have been doing their best to defend God’s Word. Herein, THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH puts Biblical Criticism on trial, judging their claims as subjective (based on or influenced by personal feelings or opinions), not objective (factual, actual, real, empirical, verifiable) in biblical studies.

It can no longer be assumed that most people--or even most Christians--have a basic understanding of the Bible. Many don't know the difference between the Old and New Testament, and even the more well-known biblical figures are often misunderstood. It is getting harder to talk about Jesus accurately and compellingly because listeners have no proper context with which to understand God's story of redemption. In this basic introduction to faith, D. A. Carson takes seekers, new Christians, and small groups through the big story of Scripture. He helps readers to know what they believe and why they believe it. The companion leader's guide helps evangelistic study groups, small groups, and Sunday school classes make the best use of this book in group settings.

This book gathers fourteen Catholic scholars to present, examine, and explain the often misunderstood process of ""deification"". The fifteen chapters show what becoming God meant for the early Church, for St. Thomas Aquinas and the greatest Dominicans, and for St. Francis and the early Franciscans. This book explains how this understanding of salvation played out during the Protestant Reformation and the Council of Trent. It explores the thought of the French School of Spirituality, various Thomists, John Henry Newman, John Paul II, and the Vatican Councils, and it shows where such thinking can be found today in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. No other book has gathered such an array of scholars or provided such a deep study into how humanity's divinized life in Christ has received many rich and various perspectives over the past two thousand years. This book seeks to bring readers into the central mystery of Christianity by allowing the Church's greatest thinkers and texts to speak for themselves, demonstrating how becoming Christ-like and the Body of Christ on earth, is the only ultimate purpose of the Christian faith.
