A Concise Guide to Reading the New Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A solid resource for believers who are serious about New Testament study and Christian discipleship. It's broadly ecumenical, in the best sense, and illuminating in its use of canonical exegesis. The scholarship is perfectly calibrated for teachers and students: always clear, never overbearing.”
Science & Faith
“A Meaningful World is astounding, breathtaking! This is a book about both the beauty of science and the beauty of creation, a book I wish I had as an undergraduate taking science courses. Wiker and Witt draw us beyond design to the sheer grandeur, elegance and deep intelligibility of nature, all of which bespeak a creative Genius. It will help overcome the residual fear of science that plagues all too many devout believers, and instill a sense of childlike wonder at the splendor of our world. A Meaningful World admirably answers the call of Pope Benedict XVI to see the glory of God's wisdom, the Divine Logos, permeating creation. I can't wait to get this into the hands of my own teenagers, and even my college grads.”
Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic
Theology
“Currie's book is a must read. Seldom is something so deep explained so clearly as Currie does in this wonderful work. Get it and get a copy for a friend.”
Apologetics
“A crystal clear and compelling case for Sacred Tradition, on the basis of logic, history and Scripture. It is simply the best I have found.”
Christ Versus Satan in Our Daily Lives
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“This book is a chillingly thorough summary of the evidence for demonic activity in our world. It is useful for us to know how the devil gets his toehold by means of deceptions, temptations, and the seven deadly sins.”
Theology
“This is a bold book. In a season when academics battle over 'new' and 'old' perspectives on Paul, Ben Blackwell dares to take up the ancient perspective—put forward by giants such as Irenaeus of Lyon and Cyril of Alexandria. These early interpreters took seriously Paul's insistence on life 'in Christ.' They spoke of divine adoption, filial deification—a salvation that is transformational—an ontological change that respects the Creator-creature distinction. Christosis is that rare work that succeeds as a work of exegesis and historical theology.”
History & Biography
“We cannot begin to understand ourselves or our current crisis unless we understand the councils — what they are, what they said, and how they said it. We are the children of Vatican II, as we are the children of Trent and Chalcedon. Paul Senz guides us through the history of the councils — and helps us to see their divine sense and providential purpose.”
Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“More than a generation ago, C. H. Dodd and a few other scholars began sowing the seeds of a new and fruitful approach to reading Scripture, by studying the New Testament writers’ use of Old Testament texts. The present commentary thus represents the harvest of decades of research into the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. By carefully observing various factors, ranging from the textual to the theological, each contributor shows how the New Testament writers were not only careful readers of the Old Testament but also profound theologians themselves. The scholars on this superb team assembled by Beale and Carson distill many new and remarkable insights for exegesis and theology, all of which serve to demonstrate the explanatory power of this approach for the present and the future. This landmark volume should prove to be an invaluable resource for both the church and the academy—for pastors, teachers, and students alike, whether Protestant or Catholic—and for anyone wanting to go deeper into the heart of sacred Scripture. Indeed, Beale and Carson are to be thanked and congratulated for a momentous accomplishment.”
Confessions of a Traditional Catholic
History & Biography
“This page-turning tale is a much-needed expression of hope for our time — hope with its eyes wide open.”
Theology
“At last, we are rediscovering a major figure in the history of Christian thought -- Denys the Areopagite -- and in a readable book that will delight both lay and academic readers. Dr. Riordan has helped us to recover Denys, an ancient theologian of luminous vision, singular clarity, and profound depth. His theology is at once metaphysical and mystical, biblical and ecclesiastical, but above all sacramental. Here we discover one of the greatest guides for some of the Church's greatest minds, beginning with Maximus the Confessor and continuing through Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure. Christian intellectual formation is incomplete without him, and without this book, which makes him so accessible.”
Divine Marriage from Eden to the End of Days
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“From the beginning to the end of the biblical canon, marriage is the preferred metaphor for God’s covenant relationship with his people. For that reason, the ancient rabbis and fathers treated the Song of Songs as the interpretive key to the whole Bible. In this illuminating study, Villeneuve recovers that interpretive tradition. This will be a useful resource in biblical theology and historical theology. . . . Highly recommended.”
History & Biography
“Most of us converts can speak of a long pursuit by the Hound of Heaven. But only Ian Murphy can begin his story with a helicopter chase. And the plot only gets stranger and more exciting from there. This is one of those few religious autobiographies that could just as well be an action movie.”
Apologetics
“This is a true 'Book of Exodus' — riveting like the original, inspired, and inspiring. The contributors have taken a long journey to the banks of the Tiber, and it is every step an adventure.”
Theology
“In this book, Fr. Barron models the kind of pastoral theology and ressourcement envisioned by Vatican II. His is a theology founded on Scripture, tradition, and liturgy--but with windows open onto the world, engaging pop culture and high culture, politics and poetics, evangelicals and postmoderns, the new atheism and the old. Highly recommended, especially for pastors, scholars, teachers, and seminarians.”
Theology
“Michael Byrnes, Archbishop of Agaña Nuria Calduch- Benages, Secretary of the Pontifical Biblical Commission”
History & Biography
“Frossard really captures the life and love of Saint Maximilian. Here was a true saint aglow with grace yet tough as nails, just like we need today. Read this and prepare to rekindle a holy passion for the divine grace to live the daily grind.”
History & Biography
“This book is a work of mercy for the writer, and for the reader, an actual grace. Like everything Peter Kreeft writes, it is inspiring, informative, and entertaining. But this book is also deeply personal and straight from the heart—certainly not to be missed. I would add that Kreeft speaks effectively not only to those who are Calvinist (as I once was) but also to those Catholics who wish to understand and dialogue with the Calvinists and evangelicals in their lives.”
Theology
“Mary Healy writes with clarity, erudition, and spiritual depth. She seamlessly weaves literary, historical, and theological interpretations. This is exactly the commentary that teachers, researchers, preachers, theologians, and motivated lay readers are looking for.”
Theology
“This book identifies a classic that has never received the notice it’s due. Ratzinger’s Introduction is so much more than a book; it’s a pedagogy, a way of teaching. This fact shines through every contribution here, but especially in the pages that compare Ratzinger’s masterpiece with C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity. Ratzinger did not simply introduce people to Christianity; he invited them into communion, where the mysteries lead to a living faith. Gift is the rare book that acknowledges the deeply mystical element in the theological task and a person’s intellectual life.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“It’s a rare joy to find such a book, already a classic, reappear as if brand new. Heart of the Redeemer, since it first appeared, has been the last and best word on its subject. And now we have it updated with new research and new material from recent popes and the Catechism. Everything divine was humanly lived in the heart of Jesus. Devotion to Jesus’ Sacred Heart is a wellspring of both charity and profound theology.”
