Good News Babylon

The horrors of September 11, 2001, continue to haunt America. Even so, from the ashes of that tragedy came biblical signs from God that carry a message intended for the entire world to see. Good News, Babylon takes an in-depth look at prophesies of 9/11 to reveal God's warning to mankind. Using scriptural evidence, Dr. David Randolph studies the two most common signs of 9/11 the Cross of Jesus Christ found in the rubble of the World Trade Center and the image of the devil in the plumes of smoke after the attack to prove the existence of God. Dr. Randolph also draws parallels between 9/11 and ancient Babylon, comparing and contrasting the warning signs given to Babylon with those from 9/11. He then examines the prophesies of Isaiah and Joel, delves into the Mother of Christ Crusade, the Fatima Apparitions, the Mother Cabrini Shrine, and other modern-day phenomena that included the hidden signs of 9/11. With in-depth research and commentary, Good News, Babylon offers a detailed study of 9/11.

"In this tongue-in-cheek guide to the left's intersectional insanity, the writers of the satirical social media site The Babylon Bee teach examine: how to choose pronouns; how to blame everyone else for your problems; how to show the world how wonderful you are; the art of virtue-signaling; the basics of race, gender, and intersectionality; the truth about American history; problematic books and movies; how to tell if a baby is racist; and more."--Publisher's description.

With a biting, satirical style reminiscent of The Onion, How to Be a Perfect Christian takes a humorous look at the quirks of cultural Christianity while subtly challenging the reader to search for more than a cultural faith. Written in the trademark style of The Babylon Bee, this book humorously satirizes cultural Christianity while peppering in subtle challenges to the reader. Through humor and sarcasm (and a handy meter to rank your "holiness" as you progress through the book), readers will be called to find a more biblical understanding of the Christian faith, all while poking fun at the quirks of the modern, American Christian community.

In Good News Darrin Snyder Belousek explores the meaning of salvation in the Gospel of Luke. Through biblical reflections on the stories and songs of Luke's telling of the coming of Jesus the Messiah, this book explains the manifold message of "good news." Fully accessible to lay persons yet substantially informed by biblical scholarship, keenly aware of spiritual concerns and passionately engaged with social issues, this book offers a vision of salvation that is grounded in grace and nurtured by prayer, relevant to both the spiritual and the social, and inseparable from doing justice and seeking peace.

First published as Word Biblical Themes: 1 Peter (Word Publishing, 1989), this volume explores Peter’s effort to build a sense of identity and responsibility among the Christians to whom he wrote, scattered through several Roman provinces in Asia Minor. Their past is a biblical past, he tells them, rooted in the history of the Jews as the people of God. Consequently, they are called to live as strangers in a strange land, never fully at home in Roman society. Their present journey is a journey in the footsteps of Jesus, in paths of servanthood, and undeserved suffering. Their future is the completion of this journey to heaven, wrapped in a hope of victory over death and the devil and issuing at last in “joy unspeakable and full of glory” when their Lord Jesus Christ is revealed. Because these distant Gentile Christians are not personally known to Peter in Rome (which he calls “Babylon,” reminding them that he is as much a stranger as they are), he deals in the great universals of Christian experience: faith, baptism, and doing good; love, suffering and the hope of salvation. These universals make 1 Peter a letter for twentieth (or twenty-first) century American Christians no less than for his first century readers. The concluding chapter, “The Message of 1 Peter Today,” begins to explore certain parallels between Peter’s readers in the Roman Empire and Christians in America, where we, no less than they in the provinces and Peter himself in “Babylon” are not fully at home either. This is even more the case now than it was in 1989 when the book first appeared, so that we need to listen ever more closely to “The News from Babylon” that 1 Peter sent so long ago. To this end a postscript has been added, addressing candidly the difficulties of being Christian in America in a new millennium.

“An extraordinary real picture of human beings numbed by catastrophe but still driven by the unconquerable determination of living creatures to keep on being alive.” —The New Yorker “Alas, Babylon.” Those fateful words heralded the end. When the unthinkable nightmare of nuclear holocaust ravaged the United States, it was instant death for tens of millions of people; for survivors, it was a nightmare of hunger, sickness, and brutality. Overnight, a thousand years of civilization were stripped away. But for one small Florida town, miraculously spared against all the odds, the struggle was only just beginning, as the isolated survivors—men and women of all ages and races—found the courage to come together and confront the harrowing darkness. This classic apocalyptic novel by Pat Frank, first published in 1959 at the height of the Cold War, includes an introduction by award-winning science fiction writer and scientist David Brin.
