Sirach (Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture)

André Villeneuve

Sinopsis

Examine the Old Testament from within the living tradition of the Catholic Church 
 
The seventeen New Testament volumes in the successful Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series have been widely acclaimed. The series recently expanded to include readable yet substantive Old Testament commentaries that integrate the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with the traditional understanding of the Old Testament books as prophesying and prefiguring Christ. 
 
Commentary features include: 
● Careful exegesis of the biblical text from the perspective of Catholic faith 
● In the Light of Christ feature that considers how Old Testament passages are fulfilled in Christ and the New Covenant 
● Reflection and Application sections for daily Christian living 
● Biblical Background and Living Tradition sidebars that include quotations from Church Fathers, saints, and Church documents 
● Biblical, Catechism, and Lectionary cross-references 
● Suggested resources and an index of pastoral subjects 
● Biblical text from the RSV-2CE 
 
In Sirach, André Villeneuve makes a lesser-known deuterocanonical book accessible to readers. Drawing connections between Sirach, ancient Jewish and Christian commentaries, the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Villeneuve demonstrates that Sirach is a treasure trove of enduring wisdom that continues to speak to every age. 
 
Written from a standpoint of faith in the Holy Spirit's inspiration of Scripture, CCSS Old Testament commentaries are designed for preaching, teaching, and applying Scripture to Christian life today. They are packed with features that make them particularly useful to those doing ministry in Catholic parishes. General editors for the series are Mary Healy (Sacred Heart Major Seminary), Mark Giszczak (Augustine Institute), and Peter S. Williamson (Sacred Heart Major Seminary).

Fabricating Jesus - How Modern...

Craig A. Evans

Modern historical study of the Gospels seems to give us a new portrait of Jesus every spring--just in time for Easter. The more unusual the portrait, the more it departs from the traditional view of Jesus, the more attention it gets in the popular media.
Why are scholars so prone to fabricate a new Jesus? Why is the public so eager to accept such claims without question? What methods and assumptions predispose scholars to distort the record? Is there a more sober approach to finding the real Jesus?
Commenting on such recent releases as Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus, James Tabor's The Jesus Dynasty, Michael Baigent's The Jesus Papers and the Gospel of Judas, for which he served as an advisory board member to the National Geographic Society, Craig Evans offers a sane approach to examining the sources for understanding the historical Jesus.

The Good Beautiful and The True

Bhikkhu Bodhi

This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No.154 by Bhikkhu Bodhi, 'The Good, The Beautiful, and The True' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. 
 
Excerpt from The Quest for Happiness by Bhikkhu Bodhi 
All human beings, by their very nature, seek to be free from suffering and to find happiness. This aim, however, proves so elusive because our desire for happiness does not automatically entail knowledge of how to find it. If the knowledge of how to attain happiness automatically came along with the desire to be happy, there would be no need for a Buddha to arise in the world. We would all be able to achieve perfect happiness entirely on our own. We need the guidance of a Buddha because, though we naturally wish to avoid suffering and to attain happiness, we have no clear conception of the path that can bring this desire to fulfilment.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali -...

Amin Rampa

It is important for you to know that Yoga is a way of being in the world based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
There are people who approach the practice of Yoga, because they have seen other notable changes or someone has told you that the practice of Yoga is good, well, you don’t need to be a doubtful Thomas, as this book is embedded with all important and effective approach that will influence your yoga sutra of pantajali in no time.
But ... what is this Yoga, which is becoming so fashionable? And what are its origins
Yoga is an ancestral philosophy that was born in India about 5000 years ago. Our ancestors were people who retired in search of a connection and internalization, which has little to do with the way in which Yoga is practiced today in the West.
And this is not bad, life evolves and with it also changes around us to meet the needs of today's society. But I think it is important to take into account the origins of this discipline, because, at least for me, it makes a lot of sense to my practice.
When I talk about my practice, I don't mean just the time I spend on the mat moving my body or meditating, I mean everything that accompanies me throughout the day, from when I wake up until I go to bed.
Therefore, I want to transfer the teachings I have received about this way of being and being in the world, because knowing, even a little, its origin, you can better understand what you do or what is achieved with the constant practice of this discipline. That was the reason why this audiobook is birthed.
The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali also provide the method or the means to achieve said “goal” all these approaches are mentioned with quality pictures just for your perusal and fast understanding.
As you can see there are no secrets, everything is achieved through practice and more practice.
