Excerpt from The European War in the Light of Bible Prophecy War. Each nation loudly proclaims that it did not want war, but preferred peace, and that war was forced upon it against its wish. It is fair' to assume that in this, all are sincere, for no nation would willingly enter into so gigantic a struggle, knowing the indescribable misery and incalculable loss it would incur, to say nothing of the possibility of national ruin for all time.

Excerpt from The End of the European War in the Light of Scripture Again, surely there are many future events that we are bound to discern even now in the light of Scrip ture, for when they do come to pass there will be no need for any aid to faith at all, for we shall then be walking by sight not by faith, and of that character is the event that is the subject of this paper. My purpose then, at least, is to seek by the mercy of God the light of the Scriptures on the present roaring of the sea and the rolling surge 2 and see if they do not give a bright path of light over even these stormy waters, leading up to the Lord Himself.

New York Times Bestseller • Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize • An Oprah's Book Club Selection “Powerful . . . [Kingsolver] has with infinitely steady hands worked the prickly threads of religion, politics, race, sin and redemption into a thing of terrible beauty.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review The Poisonwood Bible, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, established Barbara Kingsolver as one of the most thoughtful and daring of modern writers. Taking its place alongside the classic works of postcolonial literature, it is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in Africa. The story is told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it—from garden seeds to Scripture—is calamitously transformed on African soil. The novel is set against one of the most dramatic political chronicles of the twentieth century: the Congo's fight for independence from Belgium, the murder of its first elected prime minister, the CIA coup to install his replacement, and the insidious progress of a world economic order that robs the fledgling African nation of its autonomy. Against this backdrop, Orleanna Price reconstructs the story of her evangelist husband's part in the Western assault on Africa, a tale indelibly darkened by her own losses and unanswerable questions about her own culpability. Also narrating the story, by turns, are her four daughters—the teenaged Rachel; adolescent twins Leah and Adah; and Ruth May, a prescient five-year-old. These sharply observant girls, who arrive in the Congo with racial preconceptions forged in 1950s Georgia, will be marked in surprisingly different ways by their father's intractable mission, and by Africa itself. Ultimately each must strike her own separate path to salvation. Their passionately intertwined stories become a compelling exploration of moral risk and personal responsibility.

A literary history of our most influential book of all time, by an Oxford scholar and Anglican priest In our culture, the Bible is monolithic: It is a collection of books that has been unchanged and unchallenged since the earliest days of the Christian church. The idea of the Bible as "Holy Scripture," a non-negotiable authority straight from God, has prevailed in Western society for some time. And while it provides a firm foundation for centuries of Christian teaching, it denies the depth, variety, and richness of this fascinating text. In A History of the Bible, John Barton argues that the Bible is not a prescription to a complete, fixed religious system, but rather a product of a long and intriguing process, which has inspired Judaism and Christianity, but still does not describe the whole of either religion. Barton shows how the Bible is indeed an important source of religious insight for Jews and Christians alike, yet argues that it must be read in its historical context--from its beginnings in myth and folklore to its many interpretations throughout the centuries. It is a book full of narratives, laws, proverbs, prophecies, poems, and letters, each with their own character and origin stories. Barton explains how and by whom these disparate pieces were written, how they were canonized (and which ones weren't), and how they were assembled, disseminated, and interpreted around the world--and, importantly, to what effect. Ultimately, A History of the Bible argues that a thorough understanding of the history and context of its writing encourages religious communities to move away from the Bible's literal wording--which is impossible to determine--and focus instead on the broader meanings of scripture.

Excerpt from The Why and the Wherefore of the European War: Bible Study Now I want you to notice that to night I wish to lay down some methodsand some ways by which God gauges the nations. For instance, in the eighth cen tury before Christ one of the most epoch making nations of antiquity was the most successful in military achieve merits, and that nation, because of its military exploits, was disposed to boast of its great achievements. Now in the l0th chapter of Isaiah we get into the very heart and secret of why that na tion was successful. That nation is the Assyrian nation. I will begin from the 10th chapter and the 5th verse. (5th to 7th verses.) And now a num ber of statements are made relative to what this Assyrian says in his heart, which I will not read, but I will start from'the 12th verse. In the 15th verse is What God says concerning this boast. The Lord says of this Assyrian, with such great military achievements and such great boasts, What is he? Why he is an axe - I hew it; he is a staff I swing it; and when I am done with it, I will break it in pieces and get me another one.
