Martin Luthers store Kirkepostil udkommer nu i en ny dansk oversættelse. Den omfatter Luthers prædikener over hele kirkeårets første tekstrække med både evangelierne og brevene. Kirkepostillen fremkom ikke fuldt færdig på én gang. Afbrudt af de historiske begivenheder omkring reformationens voldsomme begivenheder udkom den over en årrække i større og mindre stykker. Først i 1543-44 forelå den fuldt færdigt med Luthers forord. Det er denne udgave der her bringes i en ny dansk oversættelse, sammenholdt med den tidligere dansk-norske oversættelse udgivet i Stavanger 1862. På grund af Kirkepostillens store omfang udgives den nu 3 bind: Bind 1: Advent til helligtrekonger Bind 2: Første søndag efter helligtrekonger til pinse Bind 3: Trinitatistiden På net-siden lutherdansk.dk findes der en samlet oversigt over alle prædikenerne. Desuden er der her mulighed for at søge på ord og vendinger i hele Kirkepostillen.

En praktisk guide på syv skridt til at høre Gud, visdomsord og profetisk nådegave. Ian Banner skriver: Jeg har været en kristen siden 1990 og er "faldet over" tjenesten som rejseprædikant og underviser af profetiske tjenester. Gennem mine egne erfaringer har jeg lært, hvordan jeg hører Guds stemme, og hvordan jeg bruger den forståelse i måden, jeg prædiker, beder og betjener mennesker på. Jeg tror på, vi alle kan gøre dette, og jeg vil gerne hjælpe dig i gang. Af mennesker, der holder af mig, bliver jeg hele tiden mindet om, at jeg ikke er en afsluttet historie. Jeg har taget nogle skridt på min rejse med Gud, og jeg kan hjælpe dig med at tage lignende skridt. Hvis vores kristne liv og vores vej til modenhed er et maraton , så er jeg højst halvvejs igennem - hvis du er lidt efter mig, så lad mig hjælpe dig med at tage de næste få skridt.

'Jesu Hellige Hjerte' med undertitlen - At blive Jesu discipel - giver et fascinerende og udfordrende indblik i discipelskabets vej. Således skriver præst Ole Skjerbæk Madsen i forordet, og han kalder bogen et 'wake up call' til "sløve" kristne. Bogen inviterer til at efterfølge Jesus og gennem bøn ligedanne vore hjerter med Jesu Hellige Hjerte. I 'Jesu Hellige Hjerte' kalder Jesus insisterende på os: Min datter, se på Mit barmhjertige Hjerte! Giv Mig dit hjerte, Min søn! og Jesus anviser os, hvordan vi gennem tillid, valg, hengivenhed og viljens overgivelse kan forvandles og få et nyt sind og Kristus-formes. Jesus opfordrer os til at give Ham vort hjerte, og til gengæld vil Han skænke os sit kærlige og barmhjertige Hjerte ind i vort hjerte - ikke for vor egen skyld, men for at Jesus gennem os kan sprede sit lys, sin kærlighed og barmhjertighed til hele menneskeheden. 'Jesu Hellige Hjerte' er fyldt af visdom, smukke billeder og kernetekster fra den kristne åndelige tradition. Den er den anden bog i en trilogi om mysterier. Den første bog i trilogien, 'Maria Mysterier' med undertitlen 'Maria som Discipel', beskriver den ideelle discipel.

Denne bog indeholder de forelæsninger, som Yamada Mumon Roshi holdt for sine munke, da han var Mester i Shofukuji-klostret. I 25 år som søgende delte Yamada Mumon livet i praksis med sine unge munke.

Mødet med den tyske mystiker Jakob Böhme (1575-1624) åbner for horisonter og aspekter af livet, som man som ganske almindeligt menneske måske kun har fantaseret om eller anet. At møde et menneske, som i den grad skriver fra hjertet, og hvor man som læser kan mærke autenciteten bag ordene, er en sand gave. Jakob Böhmes tanker er klare og dybsindige og samtidig ganske enkle og ligetil; og hans åbenbaringer er både overvældende og forførende. Det er en sand gave, han forærer os, når han giver os anvisninger til at følge i hans fodspor, så vi hver især kan udfolde og udvikle vor indre væsen og erfare det, han beskriver, så vi selv kan modtage perlen, Kristus-barnet, fra den ædle Sophia. Vejen til Kristus er oversat fra et original-manuskript og består af seks små bøger, der viser vejen. "Hvis et menneske vil iklæde sig Kristus, så skal han gennemgå hele hans proces, lige fra hans menneskeliggørelse til hans himmelfart."

Among the religious traditions of humanity the Imami Shi'ah tradition within Islam is unmatched in its rich corpus of devotional texts (<i>du'a</i> and <i>ziyarah</i> literature) handed down from the original leaders of the faith, the Prophet Muhammad and the Imams of his family, the <i>Ahl al-Bayt</i>.The <b><i>Mafatih al-Jinan</i></b> is the most popular manual of Islamic devotional observances and prayer-texts by <b>Shaykh Abbas Qummi</b>, which draws its contents from well-known, reliable sources. As a manual of devotional literature, the <i>Mafatih al-Jinan</i> follows a long tradition established by the <i>Misbah al-Mutahajjid</i> of Shaykh Tusi (d. 460/1067) and followed up in the works of Sayyid Ibn Tawus (d. 664/1265), Kaf'ami (d. 905/1499) and others. Most of the contents of the <i>Mafatih</i> are drawn from these earlier works. Since its publication, the <i>Mafatih</i> has enjoyed an uncontested popularity among Farsi-speaking Muslims, and its Arabic and Urdu versions are widely used by the devout in the Arab world and the Indian subcontinent.

Today, there is renewed interest in the history and traditions of the patriarchal period. Recent publications have sought, among other things, to show that the biblical patriarchs were a literary, even fictional, creation of the first millennium BC, produced to provide the nation of Israel, which came into prominence only then, with ""founding fathers."" Much of this new writing is helpful in distinguishing what are traditional or speculative interpretations from the basic texts of Genesis. Sometimes archaeological evidence has been adducted in support of the historicity of the patriarchs and their cultural background in the second millennium BC which can no longer be sustained. Sometimes, however, the value of such evidence is ignored or belittled.-- from the preface
