The Bible Sex and You

Marriage, sex, birth control, abortion, divorce, homosexuality, fornication, adultery and masturbation are each analyzed from antiquity in an attempt to reverse numerous 2,000 year old misinterpretations. The Bible, properly understood, could be the best sex text of modern times.
Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus
Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus“This book will stir the pot of biblical scholarship for years to come. It will force many to rethink the origin of the Gospels and the Jewishness of Jesus.

Mishnah and the Words of Jesus
In this 64 page book Dr. Roy B. Blizzard presents comparisons between the words of Jesus and the words of rabbis prior to, contemporary with, and following Jesus, recorded for us in the Mishnah, Order Nezikin, Tractate Avot, or the Chapters of the Fathers (Pirkei Avot). Probably anyone who has ever focused on the teachings of Jesus in any depth is aware that he was a product of the religious milieu that emerged in the 1st century of this present era. The four gospels preserve for us the largest and the best corpus of material relating to the ideas and methods of teaching of the rabbis of that period. As we compare the words of Jesus with the other rabbis of his day, we can begin to understan...
Tithing Giving and Prosperity

The Mountain of the Lord

Blizzard presents a historical view of the Mountain of God (the Temple Mount), the individuals associated with it, the structures that occupied the site, as well as the present condition and future implications.

Dr. Blizzard describes the First and Second Temples in detail - their location, construction, furnishings, and inner courts - citing biblical and historical sources throughout. A vivid picture emerges as he explains the political, economic, and social forces tha...
Our Father Abraham
Although the roots of Christianity run deep into Hebrew soil, many Christians remain regrettably uninformed about the rich Jewish heritage of the church. Our Father Abraham delineates the vital link between Judaism and Christianity, exemplified by the common ancestry of the two faiths traceable back to Abraham. Marvin Wilson calls Christians to reexamine their Semitic heritage to regain a more authentically biblical understanding of what they believe and practice. Wilson, a trusted voice among both Jews and Christians, speaks to both past and present, first developing a historical perspective on the Jewish origins of the church and then discussing how the church can become more attuned to th...
Understanding the Difficult Passages in the Bible
So often we read passages from the Bible, but the beauty and richness of what we are reading is veiled from us because we neither understand the language, the culture, nor the context in which it was written. Dr. Blizzard and other contributors to this book take some of these important passages and shine a light of understanding on them so clearly that anyone reading can understand and enjoy the beauty of the Word of God.
