The Essential Sermons, Commentaries, Tratises And Defense

Recent study of the Gospels has produced some surprising challenges to the historicity of the stories surrounding Jesus' birth and resurrection. There is skepticism about the star of Bethlehem, the magi, and the census, skepticism about the angels at the tomb and the manner and time of Jesus' appearances. What then about the more fundamental issues that touch on Christian faith? Was Jesus conceived without a human father? Did he rise bodily from the dead? In this book a noted Catholic scholar surveys the biblical evidence pertinent to those two questions and evaluates it clearly and honestly - and briefly enough to meet the needs of the interested reader. His forthright use of biblical criticism may offend some; the carefulness of his conclusions may offend others; but the book offers real help to those who prefer objective discussion to predetermined answers.

Responses to 101 Questions on the Bible

In his long career of lecturing on the Bible, Father Raymond Brown may have appeared before a thousand different audiences, and in the question-and-answer periods that followed he may have responded to ten thousand queries.  Over a period of time he noticed how the same questions repeated themselves.  For this book he has chosen 101 of the most commonly asked questions on the Bible.  The questions cover a wide range of subjects:  various translations of the Bible, reasons for reading the Bible, the inspiration and historicity of the Bible, miracles, the resurrection of Jesus, the virginal conception, what Jesus knew, the founding of the church, evidence for the sacraments, the structure of the early church, the role of Peter, and more.  All people who have read and reflected on the Bible will fine questions here they have wanted to ask, along with the concise responses of a noted biblical scholar.

Crucified Jesus Is No Stranger

Contemporary society is the product of the disintegration of more or less natural or familial groupings. People are afraid, uncertain - and shut themselves away. But they need companions, friends with whom they can share their lives, their visions, and their ideals; in short, they need community. Jean Vanier, founder of the world famous l'Arche community for the mentally handicapped and their helpers, has written a unique book. It is no dry and systematic treatise, but rather a brilliant series of 'starting points for reflection' on the nature and meaning of community. 'Our communities should be signs of joy and celebration... If we are accepted with our limitations as well as our abilities, community gradually becomes a place of liberation... this terrible place can become one of life and growth.'
