In Why Four Gospels? noted Greek and New Testament scholar David Alan Black concisely and clearly presents the case for the early development of the gospels, beginning with Matthew, rather than Mark. This is much more than a discussion of the order in which the gospels were written. Using both internal data from the gospels themselves and an exhaustive and careful examination of the statements of the early church fathers, Dr. Black places each gospel in the context of the early development of Christianity.

The modern world faces religious, spiritual, and existential quandaries, as new technologies redefine the beginnings and ends of life. Excruciating choices arise about when to turn off the machines—whether and when we should "play God." The COVID-19 pandemic made these dilemmas ever more acute. Increasingly, however, public discourse on religion and spirituality is polarized, with evangelicals on one side and vehement atheists on the other.

A History of the Popes tells the story of the oldest living institution in the Western world—the papacy. From its origins in Saint Peter, Jesus' chief disciple, through Pope Benedict XVI today, the popes have been key players in virtually all of the great dramas of the western world in the last two thousand years. Acclaimed church historian John W. O'Malley's engaging narrative examines the 265 individuals who have claimed to be Peter's successors. Rather than describe each pope one by one, the book focuses on the popes that shaped pivotal moments in both church and world history.

These are masterly readings, by renowned thespian Paul Schofield, of two substantial works of poetry by T.S. Eliot...

In the transparent story of her life, Kelly James Davis takes us on a journey from a happy middle class family into 30 years of a religious cult. The group was birthed out of the Jesus movement of the late '60s and early '70s but quickly departed from Scripture and eventually demanded separation from family and other outside influences.

From the first centuries CE to the present, the question of who wrote the Bible has fascinated readers, theologians, and scholars. While countless viewpoints have circulated, the matter of who wrote the Bible remains a compelling issue. In these 24 eye-opening lectures, Professor Baden takes you deeply into the history of both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament.

Reveals the mass mobilization tactics that helped free Soviet Jews and reshaped the Jewish American experience from the Johnson era through the Reagan-Bush years. What do these things have in common? Ingrid Bergman, Passover matzoh, Banana Republic®, the fitness craze, the Philadelphia Flyers, B-grade spy movies, and ten thousand Bar and Bat Mitzvah sermons? Nothing, except that social movement activists enlisted them all into the most effective human rights campaign of the Cold War.

The Wisdom of Christ: Insights Into Religious Philosophy invites listeners to explore Jesus Christ as both teacher and philosopher, whose life and message continue to shape faith and thought.

The most vocal leaders in the United States Catholic hierarchy today embrace a culture-war Catholicism that pits them against the pastoral priorities of Pope Francis and many Catholics in the pews. Reclaiming American Catholicism makes the argument that recalibrating the Church's engagement with politics and public life is vital for both the Church and the country.

A thorough introduction to Saint Francis’s extraordinary character and spiritual journey, Chesterton’s biography is both a fascinating historical account of the man’s life, as well as a profound meditation on holiness and humility. Chesterton portrays Saint Francis not only as a holy man, but also as a gentle lover of animals, and a radical spiritual revolutionary. He unveils how Saint Francis renounced a life of comfort and wealth to dedicate himself wholly to God, evoking the man’s loving and joyful spirit.

Les soldats du pape (1860-1867)", d'Oscar de Poli, est un récit épique et émouvant qui retrace la saga héroïque des volontaires pontificaux, ces "soldats de la foi" qui défendirent le Pape Pie IX contre l'invasion garibaldienne. Écrit par un vétéran de Castelfidardo, ce modeste témoignage vise à honorer les vainqueurs de Nerola, Acquapendente, Viterbe, Farnese et Mentana, dans un drame sanglant opposant la Croix à la Révolution antireligieuse.

« La Ménagerie du Vatican », de Jean de Bonnefon, est une satire mordante et irrévérencieuse qui soulève le voile sur la cour pontificale, dépeinte comme un zoo doré de vanités ecclésiastiques. À travers une plume acérée, l'auteur dresse un inventaire des titres de noblesse pontificaux accordés à des Français, souvent contre paiement : princes, ducs, marquis, comtes, vicontes et barons fraîchement anoblis, dont les origines modestes contrastent avec leurs parchemins latins pompeux.
