Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“For Christians, it is impossible to understand ourselves apart from Christ. And here, we see how we cannot truly realize the richness of the Eucharist apart from its meaning in light of the Jewish covenant with God. What an exquisite view of the Eucharist as a personal encounter with Christ and the first Eucharist as a humanity-wide encounter with God!”

The Greatness of Humility

Philosophy

“"Too often, humility is understood only as a diminished opinion of oneself. Less explored is the biblical truth that humility is a prerequisite for both piety and compassion, both love of God and love of neighbor. Despite millennia of Christian praise for it, humility remains as radical today as in St. Augustine's time. Bound to challenge and enrich, this book is fascinating and timely. A must-read for the serious Christian.”
