Wisdom of Solomon (Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture)

Mark Giszczak

Beschreibung

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. The 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. 
 
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 
 
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).

A Simple Guide to Matthew

Paul J McCarren

“A weave of exegesis of the biblical text and considerations of its meaning for Christian life. . . . attractive and nourishing.” —The Bible Today The Gospel writers state they aim to tell the story of Jesus in a clear manner, but throughout Paul McCarren’s years in ministry, he has seen that these simple and important messages are too often missed. In his Simple Guides to the Gospels series, McCarren provides a new translation of each Gospel book, leading readers chapter by chapter through the text. Each section includes scripture and a brief, engaging commentary about how readers can relate to the material. The Simple Guides introduce readers to life in early Christianity, describe points of controversy, and show how each section fits with those that went before. The Simple Guide to Matthew highlights many of Jesus’ compelling sayings, stories such as the Sermon on the Mount, and key themes of Jesus’ ministry, such as trust. The books in the Simple Guides to the Gospels series are available individually or together as a complete set. “Reading these books is like studying the Gospels with a learned, literate, and lively guide.” —James Martin SJ, author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything “Written in a lively style with fresh translations and original insights. . . . Readers will be stimulated to think creatively about familiar texts.” —John R. Donahue, Raymond E. Brown Distinguished Professor of New Testament Studies (Emeritus), St. Mary’s Seminary and University “These valuable guides may be profitably used for ones’ own spiritual growth and prayer life, or in group study of the Gospels at the parish or catechetical level.” —Alan C. Mitchell, Georgetown University

The Training of the Heart - A...

Ajahn Chah

The nature of our heart is such that whenever it clings and grasps there is agitation and confusion. First it might wander over there, then it might wander over here. When we come to observe this agitation, we might think that it’s impossible to train the heart and so we suffer accordingly. We don’t understand that this is the way the heart is. There will be thought and feelings moving about like this even though we are practicing, trying to attain peace. That’s the way it is. 
 
When we have contemplated many times the nature of the heart, then we will come to understand that this heart is just as it is and can’t be otherwise. We will know that the heart’s ways are just as they are. That’s its nature. If we see this clearly, then we can detach from thoughts and feelings. And we don’t have to add on anything more by constantly having to tell ourselves that ”that’s just the way it is”. When the heart truly understands, it lets go of everything. Thinking and feeling will still be there, but that very thinking and feeling will be deprived of power.

Head Over Stilettos

Liwen Y. Ho

All this plumber wants is a crack at romance.
Meet Josie:
My friend was supposed to refer me to a plumber. Instead, she sends a Hugh Jackman lookalike to my bridal boutique. Leather jacket, snug jeans, and a motorcycle—what a sight! It's almost enough to make me forget about my nearly-doomed grand opening. Especially when I realize that Graham, my childhood crush, is the one standing before me.
Enter Graham:
Yes, it's true that Josie once proposed marriage to me when she was just twelve. But thirty years have passed, and we're both grown-ups now. She's single, stunning, and definitely not the type to fall for a plumber. But that doesn't stop me from wanting to change her mind.
More from Josie:
The last thing my delicate heart needs right now is a blast from the past that leaves me flustered and blushing. Who would've thought that Graham still remembers my childhood proposal? Even crazier? He says that if I asked him to marry me today, he'd say yes!
Back to Graham:
Wooing clients isn't usually part of my services, but when it comes to Josie, love might not be just a pipe dream after all. Yet proving to her that I'm the real deal is shaping up to be the most challenging job of all. Especially if I can't fix her leaky toilet in time!
Welcome to The Fab Forties series, written by an over-40 author with readers of all ages in mind. This romantic comedy is guaranteed to tickle your funny bone and whisk you away from reality. So, kick back, relax, and be prepared for a bellyful of laughs!
