Be anchored in the faith "once for all entrusted to the saints" (Jude v. 3) with timeless wisdom shared from church history.
The Christian faith is founded upon unchanging, timeless truth. From the days of the early church until the day of Christ's return, all of Christianity proclaims that "Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:11). This is our unchanging and unceasing confession upon which all our hope and all our joy rests.
The Timeless Truths Bible will encourage you through the always timely wisdom of those who came before us. Devotional notes and commentary from trusted theologians and pastors from the second century up to the twentieth will stir your affections. The ancient creeds and confessions of the faith will grow your understanding of what we believe--and have always believed. And artwork created throughout the history of Christianity will deepen your worship of the one we call Lord.
