Fr. William L. Burton, O.F.M., doesn't want you to be intimidated by studying the Bible. In fact, as a scripture scholar, he believes reading God's Word is not only educational but also fun and entertaining. "The Bible is filled with surprises!" he says.
In Abba Isn't Daddy and Other Biblical Surprises, Burton answers a number of fascinating questions that help you become more familiar with the Bible and your Catholic faith.
Have you ever wondered whether "Christ" is Jesus' last name?
Did you know that when Jesus called God "Abba" he didn't really mean the familiar "Daddy" as you may have been taught?
Could the Our Father have originally been a Jewish prayer?
Burton answers these questions and many others in Abba Isn't Daddy and Other Biblical Surprises: What Catholics Really Need to Know about Scripture Study. The book will satisfy your curiosity about biblical subjects you've heard of and passages you've wondered about but never really pondered deeply nor understood.
Burton, a renowned scripture, introduces you to basic principles of scripture study and aids in your exploration of intriguing questions about the life of Jesus.
In part 1, Burton examines the history of the Bible, tools for scripture study, and the importance of archaeological, cultural, and linguistic discoveries for understanding the Bible. He also offers a fascinating explanation of how the geography of Israel played a crucial role in the Bible's content and development.
In part 2, Burton addresses interesting questions related to the origin and meaning of topics in the New Testament.
Abba Isn't Daddy and Other Biblical Surprises is a perfect resource to encourage you to learn the principles of scripture study and undertake a deeper reading of the Bible.
Who is Jesus Christ? How can we really know Him? People have been asking that major question for 2,000 years. The best answers are found in the four Gospels, but how are they to be understood, and applied to our modern lives and faith?
Cardinal Schonborn, former student of Pope Benedict XVI and well-known as a brilliant theologian, presents his second volume of reflections on the person of Christ, this time as found in the Gospel of Mark. Sunday after Sunday, Cardinal Schonborn uses the Gospel readings from Mark to explain the beauty of the Gospel in clear and understandable words.
The Cardinal emphasizes that each of the four Gospels is unique and has its own unmistakable shape and approach. He says that no other Gospel writer talks in such a human way about Jesus as Mark. Anger and sorrow, Jesus' passionate emotional responses, are more explicitly mentioned in Mark than in the other Gospels. But however human Jesus may appear here, it is also Mark in particular who also strongly emphasizes his divinity. Believing in Jesus, having faith in him, is what Mark is all about.
A mix of deep, rewarding reflection on the Gospel of Mark, and an intimate manner of writing that opens the Word of God to even the most casual reader. For anyone serious about deepening his or her encounter with the Word of God, this little book is essential �Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, Archbishop of Denver.
