  Septuagint : Clouding Gods Word

  $12.98

  Most of academia does not consider the Jewish Scriptures and the Old Testament portion of the Christian Bible to be one and the same. According to them, the original text of this part of God’s Word has been lost and is in need of “recovery.” To restore the original text, they maintain that the Hebrew Masoretic Text, the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the Septuagint must be compared.

  The Septuagint (LXX) is an ancient translation of the Old Testament from Hebrew to Hellenistic Greek. This is almost the only hard fact concerning this translation that is truly verifiable. As the LXX is supposedly over 1,100 years older than the most ancient surviving Hebrew manuscripts, and as it often reads differently from them, text critics presume that the LXX was translated from an older, thus more reliable, Hebrew text.

  Believing the LXX contains readings that have been lost or corrupted in the Hebrew Scriptures, critics hold that the Septuagint may be used in determined places to “correct and restore” these adulterated readings. Such is the status that the LXX holds in Old Testament text critical circles.

  Indeed, one constantly reads that the Septuagint was “the” Bible of the early Christians. But-we wonder-is such veneration by academia justified? Does the New Testament frequently quote from the LXX instead of the Hebrew?

  Rather than offering fanciful theories, this fresh critical analysis examines the above questions by presenting numerous side-by-side comparisons of the LXX Greek and Hebrew Masoretic text, as well as significant mathematical contrasts. This approach allows readers to discover the truth for themselves. The result will be surprising.

  Purple Basics : Understanding The Message Of The Gospel In The New Testamen

  $14.99

  The Purple Basics is the “prequel” to The Purple Book-the bestselling Bible study covering biblical foundations. The focus of this study is what has been called “The Gospel Creed”:

  The gospel is the good news that God became man in Jesus Christ. He lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died . . . in our place. Three days later He rose from the dead, proving He is the Son of God and offering the gift of salvation and forgiveness of sins to anyone who repents and believes in Him.

  Millions have attended church and studied Scripture yet lament they lack confidence to share the gospel. This study will give you both the confidence and clarity to communicate this life-changing message with others. Christ’s death and resurrection provide the truth that the gospel is “public truth”-that Jesus actually lived, died, and rose again from the grave.

  You can spend a lifetime studying Scripture and barely scratch the surface of God’s knowledge. Yet He has communicated enough for you to know that He exists and how you can enter into a relationship with Him.

  Each chapter includes:

  *Introductions to the Gospel Creed
  *Bible study questions to understand the gospel
  *Gospel summaries to master the message

  Rightly Dividing The Word

  $16.99

  Study to show yourself approved to God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. -2 Timothy 2:15 (kjver)

  As a follow-up to his highly successful and much sought after work Dispensational Truth, Baptist minister Clarence Larkin wrote Rightly Dividing the Word to explain how the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith should be “rightly divided” in a series of contrasts, such as law and grace, faith and works, sin and salvation.

  Larkin’s aim was not to express his opinion or the thoughts of other writers, but to present biblical concepts “based solely on the Scriptures,” with chapter and verse given for every statement.

  The Bible, Larkin said, “is not a heterogeneous jumble of ancient history, myths, legends, religious speculations, and apocalyptic literature. There is a progress of revelation and
  doctrine in it. You cannot understand Leviticus without Hebrews, or Daniel without Revelation. The judges knew more than the patriarchs, the prophets than the judges, and the apostles more than the prophets.”

  While the Bible is written for everyone, he maintained, it is addressed to three classes of people: Jews, gentiles, and the church.

  Larkin’s goal in writing this fascinating book was “to confirm in the Christian faith those who are wavering and to instruct those who have not been clearly taught the great cardinal doctrines.”
