Sinopsis

Examine the Old Testament from within the living tradition of the Catholic Church 
 
The seventeen New Testament volumes in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture (CCSS) series have been widely acclaimed. Now the series editors offer readable Old Testament commentaries that integrate the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with the traditional understanding of the Old Testament as prophesying and prefiguring Christ. 
 
Wisdom of Solomon, by Mark Giszczak, is the first Old Testament volume in the CCSS.  
 
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 
 
This commentary offers a robust introduction to the historical and theological background of this often-overlooked book, the RSV-2CE translation of the biblical text, and a detailed interpretation of each passage. The commentary guides readers in a thorough and faithful study of the Wisdom of Solomon. 
 
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. Accessibly written yet substantive, 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).

Christianity and Critical Race Theory - A Faithful and Constructive Conversation - cover

Christianity and Critical Race...

Critical Race Theory (CRT) has become a lightning rod in American politics and evangelical Christianity. This book offers a critical but constructive and sympathetic introduction to CRT written from a perspective rooted in Scripture and Christian theology. The authors take us beyond caricatures and misinformation to consider how CRT can be an analytical tool to help us understand persistent inequality and injustice—and to see how Christians and churches working for racial justice can engage CRT in faithful and constructive ways. 
 
 
 
The authors explore aspects of CRT that resonate with well-trod Christian doctrine but also that challenge or are corrected by Christian theology. They also address the controversial connection that critics see between CRT and Marxism. Their aim is to offer objective analysis and critique that go beyond the debates about social identity and the culture wars and aid those who are engaging the issues in Christian life and ministry. Reflection/discussion questions, exercises, a glossary of key CRT terms, and suggested readings make the book helpful for students or small groups.
