Four More Witnesses

History & Biography

“A lively and popular account of four amazing personalities from early Christianity: a charming but simple visionary (Hermas), a world-famous catechist (Clement), a mysterious liturgist and antipope who became a saint (Hippolytus), and a genius theologian who became a source of controversy (Origen). They provide a precious window into the fascinating world of the first Christians.”

From the Susquehanna to the Tiber

History & Biography

“Anyone who has been a sincere believer in one faith and converted to another knows how agonizing the process can be. It can be especially agonizing for someone raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It can come as a shock to realize just how different Mormonism's teachings about God and man are compared to those of the Bible and the historic Christian faith. Jeremy Christiansen seeks to build a bridge of understanding between the two communities.”

New Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I am often asked to recommend a study Bible for Catholics, but I have never been able to do so without reservation... until now! At last there is a Catholic study Bible that has all of the things you need for an ideal Scripture study experience: a literal version of the biblical text so that you can grasp details that otherwise would be lost in translation, study helps that are theologically orthodox, introductions that respect Christian tradition instead of presenting the ideas of secular biblical scholarship as if they were gospel truth, a faith-building rather than faith-subverting perspective, plus copious notes, word studies, essays, charts, maps, and indexes to help you get the most out of God's word. Trust me. The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament is the one you've been waiting for!”

The Papacy

Theology

“With their usual boundless enthusiasm, Steve Ray and Dennis Walters provide a fascinating and easy-to-read look at the papacy—one of the key aspects of Christ’s Church and one of the most crucial institutions in world history.”
