Vivemos dias em que a fé cristã tem crescido e se espalhado grandemente. Mas temos que reconhecer que esse avanço tem acontecido a uma velocidade muito maior do que a capacidade de a Igreja amadurecer. Com isso, a maneira de Deus agir nem sempre corresponde às nossas expectativas. Mesmo imaturos, imaginamos que podemos entender a maneira como Deus determina sua vontade. Tentamos encontrar respostas para tudo, como se nosso raciocínio limitado pudesse esquadrinhar a mente do Senhor. Se algo acontece com alguém, sabemos o porquê; se deixa de acontecer, também temos a resposta.

The concept of judgment is at odds with today's culture, which considers it a sin to suggest there is such a thing as sin. Perhaps that is partly because we have seen all too clearly the fallibility of those who judge. What many of us long for is not judgment but righteousness and deliverance...

Jeremia hatte erst kürzlich das Mannesalter erreicht und lebte in einem Dorf im Gebiet des Stammes Benjamin. Wie sein Vater Hilkija gehörte er zur Priesterschaft. Doch der Herr hatte einen anderen Weg für ihn vorgesehen. Dunkle Zeiten standen Israel bevor. Das Volk brauchte einen Propheten, der es warnte und aus der Dunkelheit herausführte. Im 13. Regierungsjahr von König Joschija sprach Gott zu ihm.

Dans ce livre, je ne m'occupe que des histoires apocryphes (Adam et Ève, Salomon et les démons, Abraham). Ces histoires ne sont pas vraies, mais elles sont très anciennes ; certaines d'entre elles, je pense, sont belles, et toutes me semblent intéressantes. Si vous lisez la page de titre de ce livre, vous verrez qu'il contient des histoires tirées "de certains des livres apocryphes les moins connus de l'Ancien Testament".

The Book of Psalms, treasured in both Jewish and Christian traditions, is a spiritual treasure trove that reveals the heart of prayer and worship. What many may not fully realize is how powerfully the Psalms foreshadow and reflect the life, mission, and emotional experiences of Jesus Christ. When we read the Psalms through a Eucharistic and Christological lens, we encounter Jesus praying, suffering, rejoicing, forgiving, longing, and surrendering — all echoing the cries, hopes, and victories recorded by King David and other psalmists centuries before the Incarnation.

Christopher Michael Jones shares the parallel wisdom learned from the worlds of hip hop and church: the good news of “Can’t stop, won’t stop” preached by hip hop in the ashes of Reagan-era turbulence, and the good news of God’s faithfulness to teach resilience in the wake of radical disruption.

We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus? To answer these questions we need to know what story Jesus claimed for himself. Christopher Wright is convinced that Jesus's own story is rooted in the story of Israel. In this revised and updated book he traces the life of Christ as it is illuminated by the Old Testament. And he describes God's design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus.

Nurit stieg auf den Hügelkamm und drehte sich nach Sodom zu. In ihren tränenvollen Augen spiegelten sich die Flammen der brennenden Stadt. Die Mauern brachen ein, wie eine Flutwolke raste eine Aschewolke auf sie zu. Nurit schloss die Augen und breitete die Arme aus. Dann wurde sie von Schwärze überschwemmt.

Will I have enough? Am I enough? Do I matter? Deep in our souls is an ache that longs to be noticed, filled, transformed. And that ache boils down to these three fundamental questions. The extraordinary thing is that we find the answers to all three questions in the temptations of Christ. As Jesus faces the wilderness, the core needs of every human being are on display: the ache to be secure, to be approved of, to have some control over our lives. But the ways that we are tempted to fill these needs inevitably fail.

To be JourneyWise is to discover and live out the simple yet powerful truths of the Beatitudes. It is through the Beatitudes, which literally mean “blessings,” that Jesus gives us a new definition of significance before leading us to reflect on the deeper meaning of life, our relationship with God, and the interconnections we have with others. They speak to our friendships, actions, fears, prejudices, and joys. They are pragmatic, powerful lessons wrapped in simple words. In their simplicity and accuracy, the Beatitudes yield amazing results when practiced faithfully.

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery, masters could beat their slaves, creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt, and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

Writer, mother, and lover of Scripture Glenna Marshall shows us that to love God with our hearts, we must first love him with our minds. Through Scripture memorization, we begin to meditate on God’s word. This causes us to think deeply about God, which leads to intimacy and trust. Scripture memory bolsters our daily faith, grows us in discernment, and gives us courage to walk through trials. It arms us with what we need to share the gospel, to fight sin, and to encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ!

This two-volume work is not written to persuade Jews to convert to Christianity. It is written to persuade Christians of the inevitability and desirability of that conversion. It is written to persuade Catholics to pray properly for it. If we do, then in God’s time the conversion will happen, followed soon after by the awesome return of our lord Jesus Christ on clouds of glory. If we do not pray properly for the conversion of the Jews then we will have hell on earth until we do.
