Fortællingen om Noas ark hører til en af vores mest yndede historier. Ifølge Biblen strandede arken på Ararats bjerg og det siges, at vraget stadig skulle ligge på den sneklædte bjergtop i det nordøstlige hjørne af Tyrkiet. Adskillige mennesker har i gennem tiden forsøgt at vove sig op på toppen af bjerget i et forsøg på at finde vraget, men indtil videre uden resultat. I "På sporet af Noas ark. Sandheden om syndfloden" fortæller Kristian Kristiansen om myten om Noas ark og om en række kontroversielle kendsgerninger, han mener er en nøgle til fortiden.Kristian Kristiansen (f. 1953) er en dansk forfatter. Han har udgivet en række folkekulturhistoriske bøger og opslagsværker om blandt andet ordsprog, mytologi og overtro til både børn og voksne.

"Kristenånden. Tolv populære foredrag over åndshistorie" er en samlet udgave af foredrag afholdt af den danske forfatter og dramatiker P.A. Rosenberg. Den røde tråd gennem bogen er det kristne åndsliv, som P.A. Rosenberg mente burde have en central plads i dansk kultur. Som han i efterskriftet til bogen gør opmærksom på, har kristendommens kendsgerning en psykologisk og en historisk side. Rosenbergs foredrag er i denne bog alle en undersøgelse af den historiske side af kristendommen og det kristne åndsliv, som blandt andet fokuserer på hebræernes historie, Abraham, Moses, gnostikerne, trosbekendelsen og de første tre evangelier.P.A. Rosenberg (1858-1935) var en dansk forfatter, dramatiker, lærer og foredragsholder. Han var uddannet i religionsfilosofi og underviste ved flere københavnske privatskoler. I stor kontrast til samtidens kulturradikalisme med Georg Brandes i spidsen, var Rosenbergs liv præget af en kristen verdensanskuelse, og han var stor fortaler for nationale traditioner i åndslivet. Han debuterede som forfatter med fortællingen "Af et digterliv" i 1881 og udgav efterfølgende en lang række skuespil, digte og fagbøger om blandt andre Herman Bang og Søren Kierkegaard.

"Denne bog tilstræber at være et oplysningsværk om universet og vor jords udvikling. Den vil helt igennem og på alle punkter forsøge at sammenligne traditionen med nutidens videnskabelige resultater, så at læseren selv kan dømme om, hvor sandheden findes."I "Universet og traditionen" sammenligner Gerhard Heilmann de traditionelle fortællinger om universet og Jordens skabelse, som vi læser dem i Bibelen, og videnskabens udlægning af historien.

Som kunstner er Gerhard Heilmann kendt for sit arbejde ved Royal Copenhagen og illustrationer på danske pengesedler.

Helge Rodes skuespil tager fat på den ældgamle myte om Kain og Abel fra Det Gamle Testamente. Kains lillebror, Abel, er forfærdeligt interesseret, da Kain fortæller, at han har set en rigtig kvinde. Endda en ung kvinde, der ikke er bøjet og udslidt som deres mor, men smuk og dejlig at se på.Da Abel hører, hvad Kain har tænkt sig at gøre med kvinden, bliver han imidlertid urolig. Et kim af ufred er sået mellem de ikoniske brødre.Helge Rode (1870-1937) var en dansk forfatter.

Helge Rode var en af hovedfigurerne i det kulturkonservative opgør med Georg Brandes og det moderne gennembrud.

"Förargligt nog var det inget speciellt med den där dagen då fru Bengtsson dog.Hon hade inte slutat röka, inte helt i alla fall. Inte räddat världen. Inte heller fått den där snilleblixten – uppfinningen som skulle underlätta hela mänsklighetens fortsatta existens. Det var inte ens en dag då hon hade gjort något särdeles elakt eller dåligt.Utan att något av särskild betydelse alls hade hänt, så gick fru Bengtsson helt sonika hädan."Vad händer när en desperat hemmafru möter Gud i sitt badkar? Vad ska vi tro, när hon påstår att hon sett Satan på andra sidan gatan i villakvarteret?I "Fru Bengtssons andliga uppvaknade" tar författaren ett humoristiskt grepp om det gamla testamentet och de tio budorden. Vi följer fru Bengtsson på en andlig resa, som bakom en komisk fasad tar sig an livet stora, komplexa frågor.Caroline Grimwalker är en svensk författare vars författarskap har en stor bredd och variation, mest känd är hon för sina böcker inom skräckgenren. Hennes böcker har översatts till ett flertal språk och hyllats av läsare världen över.

The small book of Zephaniah is Narrative History and Prophetic Oracle. Zephaniah wrote it circa 630 B.C. very soon before the fall of Judah in the Southern Kingdom. The purpose of this book was to show that God raised up his prophet Zephaniah to proclaim a warning of coming judgment and to encourage repentance.The Southern Kingdom was complacent in their wicked lives. They not only suffered under wicked kings they also would suffer under the holy judgment of God. Zephaniah was God’s method in bringing a stern warning of the day of the Lord "Near is the great day of the Lord...a day of wrath is that day" (1:14-15). He also brought a message of hope, when the nation would be restored.Christopher Glyn became a Christian at the age of 21, giving up a promising theatrical career in the U.K. to engage in full time missionary work.

The books of Chronicles were originally one book, as in the case of Samuel and Kings. The Hebrew title is translated the "words of the days", yet the word Chronicles is mainly adopted by a theologian named Jerome who thought that they ought to bear the title from the Greek word for time which is "Chronos". This title created a distraction from the true meaning and purpose of this wonderful book. The main purpose of Chronicles was to form a genealogical description of the 12 tribes of Israel from the earliest recorded time. This was very important considering that there was a mixed multitude that had returned from Babylon, and it was also important to determine the lineage of Judah, and to reestablish the functions and order in which each individual tribe was required to perform.The author of Chronicles has a fervent desire to make the people of Israel aware of the true glory of their kingdom, realizing that it traces back to David and Solomon. There is nothing that would impress upon them a greater understanding than taking them back through a detailed history of their kingdom, with all of its glory and prosperity and also the horrible sin that led to the captivity and the downfall of the theocracy. The author of Chronicles had a constant focus on the Temple which had been destroyed and the dynasty of King David. There is hardly any mention of the northern kingdom of Israel, it is mainly concerned with Judah and the events in connection with King David, and the building of the Temple. Solomon is not necessarily a huge focus other than his preparations for building the Temple and its dedication. The worship of the Temple is paramount and the functions of the Levites as well. The Kings of Judah are stressed with great importance as well as the idolatry that seduced the people of God.Hebrew tradition credits Ezra has the author of the books of Chronicles, in the beginning of the books trace the genealogical records all the way back to Adam which took place in approximately 4004 BC. The book concludes with the Jews in Babylon after the captivity.Christopher Glyn became a Christian at the age of 21, giving up a promising theatrical career in the U.K. to engage in full time missionary work.

The book of Song of Solomon is a large love poem filled with smaller poems of different kinds. Solomon is the author and he wrote it sometime during his reign 970-930 B.C. It is a story of a bridegroom who is in love with his bride. Key personalities are King Solomon, the Shulammite girl, and friends.The story greatly emphasizes the sanctity of marriage and that it is designed, blessed and consecrated in the eyes of the Lord. The purpose of "Song of Songs", as it is also called, is a picture of God’s love for His people. Although there is explicit sexual content, it is a book in which we can learn the depths of God’s authentic love for us and what should be in the sacredness of marriage.Christopher Glyn became a Christian at the age of 21, giving up a promising theatrical career in the U.K. to engage in full time missionary work.

At the beginning of Numbers, Israel prepares to continue the journey from Mount Sinai to the promised land.

Entering the desert, the people begin to complain about everything from the lack of interesting food to Moses’s leadership.Christopher Glyn became a Christian at the age of 21, giving up a promising theatrical career in the U.K. to engage in full time missionary work.

Israel’s next judge, Samuel, is born to Hannah, a previously barren woman. Hannah gives Samuel to Israel’s chief priest, Eli, to be raised as a Nazirite. The priesthood in Israel is in a general state of decline, and Eli’s sons are disobeying God’s laws. God declares that he will choose a new priest for Israel from outside Eli’s family and begins delivering messages to Samuel as a young man. Samuel becomes a recognized prophet throughout Israel, delivering God’s messages to the people.Christopher Glyn became a Christian at the age of 21, giving up a promising theatrical career in the U.K. to engage in full time missionary work.

The book of Habakkuk is Narrative History and displays Prophetic Oracle. Habakkuk wrote it approximately 612-589 B.C. just before the fall of Judah in the Southern Kingdom. Key personalities are Habakkuk and the Babylonians. As is true of the many other prophets, Habakkuk is a short book. The information in it was vital since it carried God’s message to His people. Its purpose was that Habakkuk was announcing a familiar message of judgment. He was identifying the wickedness and sin of Judah before them. Habakkuk declared that God is the "Rock" (1:2) and that they would be judged.Christopher Glyn became a Christian at the age of 21, giving up a promising theatrical career in the U.K. to engage in full time missionary work.

The Book of Genesis opens the Hebrew Bible with the story of creation. God, a spirit hovering over an empty, watery void, creates the world by speaking into the darkness and calling into being light, sky, land, vegetation, and living creatures over the course of six days. Each day, he pauses to pronounce his works "good" (1:4). On the sixth day, God declares his intention to make a being in his "own image," and he creates humankind (1:26). He fashions a man out of dust and forms a woman out of the man’s rib. God places the two people, Adam and Eve, in the idyllic garden of Eden, encouraging them to procreate and to enjoy the created world fully, and forbidding them to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.Christopher Glyn became a Christian at the age of 21, giving up a promising theatrical career in the U.K. to engage in full time missionary work.

After Joshua’s death, the tribes of Israel continue their conquest of the southern regions of Canaan, but they are unable to cleanse the land thoroughly of its native inhabitants. God declares that these remaining people will be an impediment to Israel’s enjoyment of the promised land.

He was raised up to preach God’s judgment for a second time to Nineveh. Jonah was the first about 120 years earlier.Its purpose is to pronounce the final warning and judgment upon Nineveh, and he also addresses the rest of the Assyrian empire. They returned to wickedness shortly after they repented back in Jonah’s day. They would neglect Nahum and his message.Within fifty years, Nineveh would be completely decimated and utterly wiped from the face of the Earth.Christopher Glyn became a Christian at the age of 21, giving up a promising theatrical career in the U.K. to engage in full time missionary work.

The genre of Proverbs is mainly "Proverbs" as the name describes, there are also some Parables and Poetry. This book was written mainly by Solomon, the wisest king ever to rule, however some of the later sections are written by Lemuel and Agur. It was written during Solomon’s reign 970-930 B.C. He asked God for wisdom to rule God’s nation and He granted the request.The main purpose of this book is to teach wisdom to God’s people. Proverbs are short clever explanations, which are easy to remember. They contain truisms. These are things which are typically true however, not always. For example, "He who tills his land will have plenty of bread" (12:11), it is typically true that one who works his land will have bread but it is not a guarantee to always be true. They deal with life, principles, good judgment, and perception. They often draw distinctions between a wise man and a foolish man with parable type examples.Christopher Glyn became a Christian at the age of 21, giving up a promising theatrical career in the U.K. to engage in full time missionary work.
