Indulgences are rarely understood and, therefore, ignored by most Catholics today—even by many clergy. Most no longer understand what they are nor do they understand how they can help us, the Poor Souls—and how they can fit into a healthy spiritual life.

Au temps de Marc Aurèle, ce volume raconte l’ultime métamorphose des origines chrétiennes face au “règne des philosophes”: une Église qui se structure, une foi qui s’affirme, et un Empire façonné par l’éthique stoïcienne. Entre Forum et catacombes, se croisent réformes sociales, culte des martyrs, premières liturgies, et débats brûlants sur l’autorité des évêques, le canon et la discipline. En contrechamp, la figure lumineuse de Marc Aurèle, ses Pensées, ses réformes du droit et ses contradictions devant les martyrs, dessine une civilisation au seuil de son crépuscule antique.

The "Meqabyan" (translated as "Maccabean," but not to be confused with the Maccabees) is a collection preserved by the Ethiopian Church. It contains a recap of Israeli history, the Words of God, and prophecies regarding the end-times.

We were never meant to be afraid of God―but many of us are. The ancient world of the New and Old Testament was saturated with this kind of fear. And as strange as this might seem to us, today’s Christians are not so different. We agonize over the exact wording of our prayers to try and make sure God responds a certain way. We push ourselves to do all the right things in the hopes that a distant, unpredictable God might be impressed enough to side with us. But this is not the God we encounter in the Scriptures and in the life of Christ.

Why are there 40,000 versions of one faith? Branches is a plainspoken, occasionally funny, and honest walk through the tangled family tree of Christianity. From Catholicism to Pentecostalism, Methodists to Mormons, this book doesn’t preach — it maps.

In this rich journey through sacred art, author Derek Rotty accompanies listeners through the mysteries of salvation history, highlighting some of the Church’s most moving and celebrated works of visual art. He embraces the concept of visio divina, in which contemplation of sacred art becomes a prayer in much the same way as lectio divina makes a prayer out of Scripture reading. The Church has always known that images possess the power to communicate truths in a special way.

For over six hundred years, the Catholic Church operated one of the most feared systems of control the world has ever seen — not through armies or kings, but through questions. Were you a heretic? A witch? A secret Jew? A woman with knowledge? A man with doubts? You wouldn’t know until they knocked. In this darkly gripping and deeply researched history, James Johnson walks you through the smoke-filled chambers and torchlit streets of the Inquisition — from its earliest whispers in medieval France to its bloody climax in Spain, Portugal, Goa, and the New World.

What if the Bible was only half the story? In 1945, a sealed jar was unearthed in the Egyptian desert. Inside: a set of ancient texts that no one was supposed to read. Known now as the Nag Hammadi Library, these 1,600-year-old writings include lost gospels, secret revelations, and alternative takes on Jesus, God, creation, and reality itself. This book walks you straight into the fire. Not with dogma — but with myth, metaphor, and the actual words the early Church buried. You’ll meet the Demiurge, a false god who thinks he’s the real one. You’ll hear Jesus speak in riddles.

La Inquisición española fue una mezcla de agencia de espionaje, unidad de asuntos internos y fuerza de orden público que, aunque tuviera como objetivo prioritario la persecución de delitos religiosos, acabó convirtiéndose –y esta es una de las sorpresas mayúsculas de este libro– en un brazo «político» de la monarquía hispánica, realizando una labor de vigilancia global, con intervenciones quirúrgicas.
