Evangelism & Missions
“Pope St. John Paul II called for a New Evangelization, but who's actually doing it? These people are. Read their stories, learn, and be encouraged.”
Divine Marriage from Eden to the End of Days
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Arguably the most important work on the nuptial theme in Scripture published in recent decades. Villeneuve opens up the richness of the rabbinic interpretive tradition to readers unfamiliar with it. The breadth, color, boldness, and pervasiveness of the matrimonial paradigm in rabbinic and patristic exegesis amazes the reader and suggests new interpretive possibilities present in otherwise familiar biblical texts. Essential reading for contemporary theologians, Bible scholars, exegetes, and homilists.”
Theology
“An intriguing and life-changing collection of essays on the relationship of the Catholic faith to the historic people of Israel. A monumental contribution!”
Theology
“Mary Healy has written a Genesis commentary that strikes a beautiful balance of excellent scholarship and pastoral and spiritual sensitivity. This commentary doesn't just inform; it edifies and inspires. This is the first resource on the book of Genesis I would recommend to any Catholic!”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“An extremely readable yet well-informed explanation of Genesis, moving easily between modern thought and the ancient world, contemporary science, and the Church’s tradition. The Church has long needed a book just like this!”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“If you have to take a single Bible resource to a desert island, let it be Ignatius Catholic Study Bible! Faithful to the tradition and magisterium and cognizant of the best modern scholarship, this is a landmark achievement that will permanently impact English-speaking Catholicism around the world.”
Theology
“Edward Sri is one of the best teachers of the faith in our generation. He reveals the Catholic Faith as not just a set of beliefs but a lifestyle filled with love. This is a superb introduction to the Catholic way of life!”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“One would think that in a postmodern environment, scholars would have learned to be suspicious about any claims to intellectual neutrality and objectivity, but there remains a large pocket of unreformed ‘modernism’ within the discipline of biblical studies. Morrow helps unmask the covert agendas of this intellectual tradition.”
Rethinking Mary in the New Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A careful scholar with a pastor's heart, Edward Sri has written an amazing introduction to Blessed Mother as she appears in Sacred Scripture! Converts to Catholicism, interested Protestants, and cradle Catholics who love the Blessed Mother will want to get this book to better understand the deeper meanings of the Marian passages of the New Testament.”
History & Biography
“The Watchtower and the Cross is not only a moving human drama, but also a very personal re-thinking and re-discovery of classic Christian theology that can serve to introduce or re-introduce believers and unbelievers alike to the timeless truths of the Faith.”
History & Biography
“Truth is stranger than fiction, or so the saying goes. In the case of Matthew Wiseman, this proverb is fulfilled: the number and diversity of religious movements through which he journeyed is dizzying and would strain credulity were it not all so soberly recounted. Through it all, Wisemen’s relentless desire for truth and consistency kept him searching until he discovered the ‘beauty ever ancient, ever new’. A moving story that is like a course in fundamental theology in narrative form. The reader will rediscover the inner logic of Catholicism that has drawn converts from every religion and philosophy for millennia.”
