Sinossi

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).

    Since Orson Kincaid found Christianity, his life has become more challenging, but also with many rewards. Formerly a sniper in US Special Operations Command, he now lives in a humble apartment in Tempe, Arizona where he attends and teaches classes at Arizona State University. He also owns and manages his own security company in Tempe. 
    	When two students try to hire him to protect them, Kincaid was not at first interested. However, when he listened to their problem, it sounded like a kind of calling. That was, until they told him she was the granddaughter of the wealthiest man in Islam, owner of most oil wells and refineries in the Middle East and Persia. Only then did Kincaid become wholly intrigued. 
    	Three hit teams of trained and equipped assassins were dispatched from Persia with the mission to execute a list of Muslims in the US who had converted to any denomination of Christianity, as was forbidden by Shariah Law. The Patriarch of all Islam felt the need to make a statement that such conversions were neither permitted nor forgivable. Among the names on that list were his granddaughter and her new husband, students at ASU. 
    	Where will Kincaid go? To whom can he turn for support? The answers to these questions make for a most fascinating read and reveal the heart and soul of the entire Kincaid family. 
    	This is the third book in the story of Orson Kincaid. With each book he tries to get closer to God by not taking the lives of anyone. But, with each book, he ends up in a dilemma that forces him to make similar decisions. Is it ever right to take the life of another? What if they are actively trying to kill you? What if they are determined to kill those you love? What if they wanted to join a different denomination and needed protecting for themselves and their loved ones. This is the story is how one man ends up struggling with his faith in the powerful presence of evil.

    You've checked all the boxes. You've followed all the rules.
    
    
     
    
    
    But something has still gone terribly wrong.
    
    
     
    
    
    This is where Wendi Nunnery—Jesus follower, college graduate, and newlywed—found herself eleven years ago. After years of meeting all the expectations set for a "good" Christian girl, she was suddenly spiraling into an unknown terror she would later discover was Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and questioning everything she'd ever known about herself and about God.
    
    
     
    
    
    It took nearly a decade, but eventually Wendi learned her value was fixed. Finished. Holy. And it's in the pages of this book where she lays out the story of how and invites you to come along, find a friend, and realize you are not alone in your wandering.
    
    
    Driven by thoughtful, poignant essays with just the right amount of colorful language, Good Enough tackles the lie that we are required to be perfect in order to be good and, most importantly, reveals the truth about how much we've already been given.

    A theology of Mary's role in the incarnation as it was understood by the earliest Christians. 
     
     
     
    A central figure in Christian tradition, Mary of Nazareth, the mother of Jesus, is both pivotal in theologies of the incarnation and a source of theological controversy. In this volume, bible scholar and priest Christopher Bryan examines the role of Mary in the theology of the first generations of Christians. Considering every reference to Mary in the New Testament in the order that the biblical texts were written, Mary of Nazareth situates biblical texts' treatment of Mary within first-century culture and examines changing theologies of Mary and the incarnation among the earliest generations of Christians. The book concludes with Bryan's reflections on Christian memories of Mary and their implications for some historical theological controversies. 
     
     
      
    Ideal for Bible study or group discussion, Mary of Nazareth makes current biblical scholarship accessible and engaging.
