Wisdom of Solomon (Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture)

Mark Giszczak

Synopsis

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).

Still others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced he was the divine Son of God. But who was he really--and how can we know for sure? 
Evaluating and organizing the biblical, historical, and textual evidence, Strobel searches out the true identity of the child in the manger, analyzing:The latest, most up-to-date scholarship and researchThe historical reliability of the accounts of Jesus's birthThe evidence for the virgin birthThe array of Old Testament prophecies fulfilled by the birth of JesusThe most common questions about the story of Christmas

The Question That Never Goes...

Philip Yancey

Why does God allow suffering? 
In his classic book Where Is God When It Hurts, Philip Yancey gave us permission to doubt, reasons not to abandon faith, and practical ways to reach out to hurting people. 
In this sequel, written 30 years later, Yancey revisits our cry of "Why, God?" in the wake of increased violence and natural disasters the world over. It's a cry that many of us take up with more urgency each year as we sit stunned by the calamities devastating our world, our communities, and our personal lives. 
Acknowledging that Christians have not always responded to the problem of pain and grief with grace, Yancey helps us find meaning in the midst of the deepest suffering. The Question That Never Goes Away is a deep and personal reflection on the ways that suffering both challenges and affirms our faith and how we can respond to the existence of evil in a manner that doesn't dismiss it. 
"In the face of suffering, words do not suffice. We need something more: the word made flesh, actual living proof that God has not abandoned us, that he shares in our distress," Yancy writes. We find this proof in Jesus, whose own story is one of suffering voluntarily accepted. No other religion has this model of God identifying so deeply and compassionately with humanity—and this changes how we see it and respond to it. 
Timely and heartfelt, Philip Yancey has once again offered readers a powerful response to some of the toughest questions that will never leave us in this life.

Walking in Truth in a World of Lies

Steve Gallagher

You and I are being lied to on a regular basis. 
In fact, our entire culture is riddled with duplicity. 
Scripture repeatedly warns of deception on a massive scale in the Last Days, so why are Christians seemingly so unconcerned? Has their access to theological information and their acceptance of orthodox doctrine caused them to believe they are impervious to being deceived? 
There is only one way to stay safe from the deceiver's powerful lies: We must allow the "love of the truth" to hold sway in our innermost being. Only then will be capable of Walking in Truth in a World of Lies.
