Sobre IBD

Letters written under difficult circumstances are writings that reveal what is most important to the writer. Paul’s prison letters are no exception. They show the depth of his spiritual understanding. In particular, he reveals his deep appreciation of who Jesus Christ is in the opening chapter of Ephesians and in the Christ-hymns of Philippians 2 and Colossians 1. As is customary with Paul, we read first about the doctrinal foundations of our faith. Once the doctrinal foundation has been taught we move to the practical outworking of the truths. This truth is not so that we have a head knowledge of the faith, but is something intended to change our behaviour. In Ephesians Paul discusses our position in Christ, that we are seated in heavenly places in Him as the basis for our Christian walk and warfare. In Philippians two words or word groups are prominent: joy and mind. Christians are to have the same mind as Christ, earnestly following His example. It is for good reason that Paul says 'Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus'. Then we can rejoice in the Lord. Colossians teaches that following a set of rules is not the way to follow Christ while the letter to Philemon is a plea on behalf of a converted slave.

    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...

Loomis shows in this groundbreaking volume, the you...

    Revelation is probably the least read book of the New Testament even though it is the one in which a blessing is promised to those who read and listen to the words of the prophecy. The problem stems from several things. The unusual symbolism makes the message difficult to understand, a difficulty increased by the multitude of interpretations, some of which are hard to comprehen...

  • Letters to Encourage and Correct
    Don Stormer
    Paul had a deep concern for the Christians in the churches which he planted. This is something which is very obvious in the second letter to the church in Corinth and the letter to the Galatian churches. Paul’s integrity was being attacked by intruders in Corinth and he needed to defend himself in order that Christians there would not be destabilised in their faith. One of the ...
