Sobre IBD

Is death optional? No, but the fear of it is. Instead of denial, let Christ exchange your ultimate fear for his ultimate homeland security: heaven.Why is it that something as inevitable as death is the last thing we talk about? We seem to be in the grip of an ultimate fear. The Bible calls it a “lifelong slavery.” The good news is that God is the great emancipator of this slavery to fear. He sets us free and gives us instead the assurance of heaven. I have called it “forward nostalgia.” We long to be where we have never been.Once we allow God to remove this fear we can be ready to keep on living on earth, and to be equally ready to depart for an incredibly wonderful new life in heaven. It is a win-win, no matter what the future may bring. Death is not leaving home; it is going home.“With a lifetime of reflection and study, Al Lawrence has directed us to prepare for the ultimate journey with forethought and firm trust in the goodness and greatness of God.” Peter C. Moore, D.D., Dean/President Emeritus, Trinity School for Ministry, Ambridge, Pa.

    The Gospel of John was long assumed to be the work of an eyewitness, usually identified as John, son of Zebedee. More recently, many have judged it the unhistorical product of a ''Johannine community.'' Reconsideration by Richard Bauckham has suggested that the author was a Jerusalem disciple who housed the ''Last Supper.'' This book explores the possibility that he was present...

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
  • Tommaso Traetta and the Fusion of Italian and French Opera in Parma
    George W. Loomis
    In 1759, the court of the Italian Duchy of Parma adopted the inspiration of cultural creators who recommended a reform of Italian opera along French lines. These writers favored combining Italian-style music with the wider range of musical genres and scenic variety of French opera. As the music critic and commentator George W. Loomis shows in this groundbreaking volume, the you...

Moses was receiving the Ten Commandments when God added three lines of blessing to encourage the people on their journey to a place to call their own. Were they afraid? Of course. Venturing into th...

  • Puzzling Paradoxes
    Albert Lawrence
    The paradoxes of Jesus seem like contradictions, and they are. For example, Jesus says that we receive by giving; we find by losing; we rule by serving; we rest by laboring; we live by dying.However, the surprise is that out of these contradictions a new and profound truth emerges, one which might escape our notice. A British theologian put it this way: 'Paradox is truth standi...
