You know, a prophetess sent me a word through my wife right here, and she said 'Tell your husband that Jesus is going to physically appear in his meetings.' I'm expecting to see - I'm telling you, I feel it's going to happen.

by Albert Persohn
No one is more surprised than Shlomo Sand that his latest academic work has spent 19 weeks on Israel’s bestseller list – and that success has come to the history professor despite his book challenging Israel’s biggest taboo.

Exclusive: The Birth of the Great Housing Bubble
|
|
|
by John Evans
About fifty-six years ago, when I was still an undergraduate student at the University of Texas, I decided to major in economics. In those days, the economics department at Texas was heavily oriented toward the study of economic history and was well-known for its strongly “institutional” bent and its benign view of leftist ideology. Its best known professor was Clarence Ayres, a man of immense learning and a great capacity to inspire awe in inquiring young minds, who seemed to feel that it was his special mission to disabuse students as of any notions about the existence of a benevolent deity. Appropriately, his heroes were such scholars as Thorstein Veblen, John Dewey, and Charles Darwin. In my case, however, his message generated an intellectual resistance that has grown steadily stronger over the ensuing decades.

News: The Economy of the Kingdom
|
|
 |
by Jay Voorhees
Bear Sterns. Lehman Brothers. Fannie May and Freddie Mac. AIG. Washington Mutual. Just a few months ago these were names that we may have been familiar with, but were hardly on the tips of our tongues. These days, however, their names are recited daily as symbols of an economic crisis spiraling out of control around us. Our leaders in Washington are scurrying around, trying to find some way to repair the damage, to keep things solvent, arguing over which approach is the best. On Friday, the men who are vying to be the rulers of our kingdom tried to explain why their plan is the better one for restoring economic vitality. Yet, far removed from the stratosphere of Washington and Wall Street investment bankers, thousands of Americans looked at the growing pile of bills, the increasing debt, and the letters from the mortgage company threatening foreclosure, and wondered what they were going to do.

News: Gospel Today magazine pulled from Christian bookstores’ shelves
|
|
 |
That’s not something a buyer would typically find in a Christian bookstore. Not unless it’s one of the more than 100 Lifeway Christian Bookstores across the United States, including about six in metro Atlanta. Gospel Today, the Fayetteville-published magazine, was pulled off the racks by the bookstores’ owner, the Southern Baptist Convention. The problem? The five smiling women on the cover are women of the cloth — church pastors.

Exclusive: Getting Daniel Past the Second Century BC: Daniel 2
|
|
|
by John Evans
This is my second article in a series devoted to a critical examination of what I term the middle of the road position on the Book of Daniel. In choosing this term, I have in mind those scholars in what I like to call mainstream biblical academia who believe that the prophecies of Daniel were written so as to call for fulfillment during the time of Jewish persecution by Antiochus IV in the second century BC but who also believe that they were appropriately reapplied to the time of Christ in the first century AD. Most of these scholars seem to believe that the prophecies of the “visions” half of Daniel (chapters 7-12) were written in the second century BC before the death of Antiochus (in late 164 or early 163), and some of them, no doubt, assume the late authorship of Daniel 2. In other words, among these scholars are evidently some who believe that even though at least some of Daniel’s “prophecies” are actually quasi-prophecies or even false prophecies in terms of their primary fulfillments, Jesus and His followers appropriately saw them as genuine prophecies that are messianicly Christian.

Preterism: A Revival in Eschatology?
|
|
|
From Parson's Pen
The first time I heard it, I felt a gnawing apprehension deep inside what many call “the gut”. Instinctively, I knew nothing of lasting good could come out of it. Twenty-five years later, the Apostolic movement struggles with the backlash of the decade of abused eschatology. Though hundreds were reported to have been converted in these “end-time” revivals of the 1980s, eschatology preaching and teaching no longer incites the interest of the masses. Has the backlash from the 80s doomed the study of prophecy to only Bible geeks with nothing better to do?

In case anyone is interested, I may finally have volume I of my book out in early 2009. The thing is so long I decided to split it into two volumes. Volume I will be about 350 pages; volume II will be about 450 pages. It is the product of eight years of labor!

Exclusive: Getting Daniel Past the Second Century BC: Introduction
|
|
|
by John Evans
In the fifteen or so years during which I have been devoting a great deal of attention to the Book of Daniel, I have sought to make the case for believing that there really was a Daniel the prophet who lived in Babylon during the sixth century BC and prophesied about the Coming of the Messiah in the person of Jesus Christ. In doing so, I have argued that the sequence of four earthly kingdoms presented in Daniel 2 and 7 should be understood to be Babylonia, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome, and I have suggested that the great statue of Daniel 2 serves as a timeline whose five different sections correspond remarkably well with the recorded history of Judea and the adjacent lands during the period running from 605 BC, when the Kingdom of Judah was incorporated into the Babylonian Empire, to about AD 30, which is often given as the probable year for the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ.

News: New Study Shows Solar System is Unique
|
|
 |
Research conducted by a team of North American scientist shows our solar system is special, contrary to the accepted theory that it is an average planetary system. Using computer simulations to follow the development of planets, it was shown that very specific conditions are needed for a proto-stellar disk to evolve into a solar system-like planetary system. The simulations show that in most cases either no planets are created, or planets are formed and then migrate towards the disk center and acquire highly elliptical orbits.

Scientists in Israel are taking digital photographs of the Dead Sea Scrolls with the aim of making the 2,000-year-old documents available to the public and researchers on the Internet. Israel Antiquities Authority, the custodian of the scrolls that shed light on the life of Jews and early Christians at the time of Jesus, said on Wednesday it would take more than two years to complete the project.

News: Pelosi gets unwanted lesson in Catholic theology
|
|
 |
Politics can be treacherous. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi walked on even riskier ground in a recent TV interview when she attempted a theological defense of her support for abortion rights. Roman Catholic bishops consider her arguments on St. Augustine and free will so far out of line with church teaching that they have issued a steady stream of statements to correct her.

Study Resources: Determinism and Responsibility
|
|
 |
by Gordon H. Clark
Unless one has been recently disgusted by a surfeit of discussion on this sometimes barren topic, a religious thinker will almost invariably be carried away into a heated argument. This is better than to denominate the question barren, for such an attitude is agnostic, and to be disgusted is merely to be exhausted. Every Christian must face this problem squarely, and especially must the Calvinist so do, since he believes that much of the learned disrespect of Christianity is owing to the loose thinking of Catholics and Arminians.
Note: First published in The Evangelical Quarterly (London, 1932).

News: A Young Earth—It’s Extremely Relevant
|
|
|
by Tim Chaffey
Many Christians have been led to believe that the debate over the age of the earth is unimportant because it is “just a side issue.” In our new book Old-Earth Creationism on Trial, Dr. Jason Lisle and I provide abundant biblical, theological, and scientific evidence to demonstrate that this thinking is erroneous. In this article, allow me to share a brief part of my testimony to show you that this issue is extremely practical.

News: Young Earth Creationist: Dinosaurs helped build the pyramids
|
|
|
Far from becoming extinct 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs actually co-existed with early humans, and even helped in the construction of the pyramids.
This is the word of Vince Fenech, Evangelist pastor and director of a fully licensed, State-approved Creationist institution which admits children aged between four and 18. “Of course the ‘dinoceros’ existed (as Fenech pronounces the word). It is mentioned in the Book of Job. They were used to help build the pyramids,” he says, adding that this latter observation is only “his personal belief”, and that it does not form part of the school’s curriculum.
