Book Description
A Paraphrase on the New Testament first printed in 1685, Baxter's Paraphrase of the New Testament was the work of Richard Baxter, a Puritan who was known for his many writings on practical piety. Apparently, Baxter defamed the Church of England in this paraphrase and was imprisoned and severely punished as a result, but he was eventually released. The text contains doctrinal and practical notes throughout which are characteristically plain and brief but meant to help the reader in understanding the text. His paraphrase was also meant to aid families in daily reading and to help all people read and understand the New Testament. Interestingly, our copy contains a penned quote from the court trial of Baxter.

Book Description
The Interpreted New Testament integrates insights from 20 years of experience translating the New Testament into a minority language. This extended English paraphrase communicates the meaning of the New Testament simply and clearly, and can be especially helpful for new Bible readers. The paraphrase is accompanied by in-line commentary that explains historical and cultural background, highlights Bible themes, and gives alternate interpretations of difficult passages. To further aid new readers of the New Testament, the paraphrase is preceded by a harmony of the Gospels, a brief overview of Old Testament teachings necessary for understanding the gospel message, and is followed by several appendices. One of these discusses in detail what new believers should understand about their salvation and about following Jesus. Ideal for encountering the New Testament for the first time or studying it more deeply, The Interpreted New Testament is a unique resource for understanding God's word better.

Book Description
God is love and love is not self-seeking. (1Jn 4:8, 1Cor 13:5) Love rather than seeking self, is the principle of beneficence or giving. God, when He built His universe, constructed it to operate upon this principle of giving, an expression of His character of love. Harmony with this principle is life. Disharmony is death. Every breath you take you give away carbon dioxide to the plants which give back oxygen to you, a never ending circle of giving life is built to operate upon. You are free to transgress the law by tying a plastic bag over your head and selfishly hoarding your carbon dioxide to yourself. But, the wages of doing so is death. Thus, the Bible teaches sin is lawlessness and breaking the law results in death. (1Jn 3:4, Rom 6:23) Sadly, after Constantine converted, Christianity changed its view of God's law from the law of love, the design protocol for life, to an imperial Roman imposed law construct, in which the law has no inherent consequence and thus requires the ruling authority to inflict externally imposed punishments upon lawbreakers. Christianity changed from an organization of people who had such love they would lay down their lives for others (Jn 15:13), to a system that carried out the Crusades, Inquisition and burned dissenters at the stake. Why? God's design was replaced by an imposed law construct. All Bible translations have been done in the aftermath of Constantine's conversion and the acceptance of the imposed law construct. This has resulted in unintended misunderstanding of the message of Scripture. The Remedy refocuses our mind upon God's character of love and His law as the design protocol upon which He constructed life to operate. As such, The Remedy is exactly that, a New Testament paraphrase that communicates God's remedy for our sin-sick terminal condition. I invite you to partake The Remedy.
