Book Synopsis From Jewish Passover to Christian Eucharist The Todah Sacrifice as Backdrop for the Last Supper: Catholic for a Reason III by : Tim Gray
Download or read book From Jewish Passover to Christian Eucharist The Todah Sacrifice as Backdrop for the Last Supper: Catholic for a Reason III written by Tim Gray and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tim Gray shows that the todah sacrifice is what links and underlies the Passover and the Mass. Introduced in the Old Testament, the todah—in contrast to the yearly celebration of Passover—was a continual sacrifice of thanks and praise to God for His saving actions: "A todah sacrifice would be offered by someone whose life had been delivered from great peril." Just as the Passover was a sacrifice in memory of when the Jewish people had been saved from death during their exile in Egypt, so too, the Mass is a continual sacrifice of thanksgiving for our salvation.

Download or read book Coming Soon written by Michael Barber and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a book of the Bible more often discussed and yet less understood than the Book of Revelation? The "seven seals." The "dragon." The "beast." The "sea of glass." The fantastic imagery found in the Book of Revelation has long captivated Christians but remains mysterious to many. In the midst of so much discussion about the end times, what does Revelation teach us about living in the present moment, with our eyes focused on the heavenly Jerusalem? Michael Barber's Coming Soon explores these questions by taking a detailed look at Revelation and its rich tapestry of prophecy, history, and biblical allusion. Barber explores the profound link between the Mass celebrated here on earth and the eternal reality of heaven, demonstrating that the Apocalypse reveals truth that has practical implications for today and points to a firm hope in tomorrow. Coming Soon is a verse-by-verse commentary on the Book of Revelation using the Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition of the Bible. Barber provides a Catholic interpretation, which sees the liturgical background of this book of Scripture-a perspective missing in many Protestant commentaries.
Download or read book Reasons to Believe written by Scott Hahn and published by Image. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unravels mysteries, corrects misunderstandings, and offers thoughtful, straightforward responses to common objections about the Catholic faith. Bestselling author Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, has experienced the doubts that so often drive discussions about God and the Church. In the years before his conversion, he was first a nonbeliever and then an anti-Catholic clergyman. In REASONS TO BELIEVE, he explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith—drawing from Scripture, his own struggles and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science. Hahn shows that reason and revelation, nature and the supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather they offer complementary evidence that God exists. But He doesn't merely exist. He is someone, and He has a personality, a personal style, that is discernible and knowable. Hahn leads readers to see that God created the universe with a purpose and a form—a form that can be found in the Book of Genesis and that is there when we view the natural world through a microscope, through a telescope, or through our contact lenses. At the heart of the book is Hahn's examination of the ten "keys to the kingdom"—the characteristics of the Church clearly evident in the Scriptures. As the story of creation discloses, the world is a house that has a Father, a palace where the king is really present. God created the cosmos to be a kingdom, and that kingdom is the universal Church, fully revealed by Jesus Christ.
Download or read book Consuming the Word written by Scott Hahn and published by Image. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Lamb's Supper and Signs of Life comes an illuminating work that unlocks the many mysteries of the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist. Long before the New Testament was a document, it was a sacrament. Jesus called the Eucharist by the name Christians subsequently gave to the latter books of the Holy Bible. It was the "New Covenant," the "New Testament," in his blood. Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could be read at Mass. This simple and demonstrable historical fact has enormous implications for the way we read the Bible. In Consuming the Word: The New Testament and the Eucharist in the Early Church, Dr. Scott Hahn undertakes an examination of some of Christianity's most basic terms to discover what they meant to the sacred authors, the apostolic preachers, and their first hearers. Moreover, at a time when the Church is embarking on a New Evangelization he draws lessons for Christians today to help solidify their understanding of the why it is Catholics do what Catholics do. Anyone acquainted with the rich body of writing that flows so inspiringly from the hand and heart of Dr. Hahn knows that he brings profound personal insight to his demonstrated theological expertise,” writes Cardinal Donald Wuerl in the foreword to the book. Consuming the Word continues in that illustrious tradition. It brings us a powerful and welcome guide as we take our place in the great and challenging work in sharing the Good News.
Book Synopsis A Treasure Hid in a Field by : Christopher Wallace
Download or read book A Treasure Hid in a Field written by Christopher Wallace and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you considering Catholicism and find it difficult to accept certain Catholic teachings? Do you frequently struggle with explaining Catholicism to people who often use Scripture to challenge your faith? Are you currently Catholic and are struggling with the temptation to leave the Catholic Church? Are you trying to understand more about the Catholic faith? If so, A Treasure Hid in a Field is for you. This book contains a through overview of Catholicism which helps the reader sort through the many theological differences between Catholicism and Protestantism and helps the reader to come to a greater theological understanding of Catholicism. Therefore, A Treasure Hid in a Field is an overview of Catholicism written from the perspective of a minister converting from Protestantism to Catholicism. The focus is upon explaining how I had served as a Protestant minister for twenty years but came to the knowledge of the fullness of the truth where I had never anticipated. The purpose of the book is to help those who may be following my same journey, those who may already be Catholic and need help in responding to common objections to Catholicism presented by Protestants, individuals who may be struggling with the temptation to leave the Catholic Church, or those who may simply be seeking to learn more about the Catholic faith. The overall theme of this book is based on the two ways theme found throughout Scripture, applied to Catholicism and Protestantism. During my conversion process, I often found myself facing the choice between two paths, which always resulted in the path toward Catholicism. Even the topics included in this book that were not a particular crossroads in my journey are presented in the same format for the sake of those to whom a particular doctrine might serve as a challenge. Therefore, each chapter is presented as a question, or a choice between two ways, which for me resulted in my conversion from Protestantism to Catholicism.
Download or read book Letter and Spirit written by Scott Hahn and published by Image. This book was released on 2005-11-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of The Lamb’s Supper continues his thoughtful exploration of the complex relationship between the Bible and the Catholic liturgy in a revelatory work that will appeal to all readers. Scott Hahn has inspired millions of readers with his perceptive and unique view of Catholic theology and worship, becoming one of the most looked-to contemporary authorities in these areas. In Letter and Spirit, Hahn extends the message he began in The Lamb’s Supper, offering far-reaching and profound insights into what the Bible teaches us about living the spiritual life. For both Christians and Jews, the texts of the Bible are not simply records of historical events. They are intended, through public recitations in churches and synagogues, to bring listeners and readers into the sweeping story of redemption as it unfolds in the Bible. Focusing on the Catholic Mass, Hahn describes how God’s Word is meant to open our eyes to the life-giving power of the sacraments, and how the liturgy brings about the “actualization” of the saving truths of Scripture. Letter and Spirit is a stunningly original contribution to the field of biblical studies and will help Hahn’s many loyal and enthusiastic readers understand the relationship between the Bible and the Mass in a deeper way.
Book Synopsis Epicureanism and the Gospel of John by : Fergus J. King
Download or read book Epicureanism and the Gospel of John written by Fergus J. King and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel of John and Epicureanism share vocabulary and reject the conventions of Graeco-Roman theology. Would it then have been easy for an Epicurean to become a Christian or vice-versa? Fergus J. King suggests that such claims become unlikely when detailed analyses of the two traditions are set out and compared. The first step in his examination looks at evidence for potential engagement between the two traditions historically and geographically. Both traditions address concerns about the good life, death, and the divine. However, this correspondence soon unravels as their worldviews are far from identical. Shared terms (like Saviour), their respective rituals, and teaching about community life reveal substantial differences in ethos and behaviour.

Book Synopsis He Died Once, but His Sacrifice Lives On: The Mass as Sacrifice: Catholic for a Reason III by : Thomas Nash
Download or read book He Died Once, but His Sacrifice Lives On: The Mass as Sacrifice: Catholic for a Reason III written by Thomas Nash and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Christ’s one sacrifice and His re-presentation of it in the Mass is a profound mystery.” To help us understand this, Thomas Nash gives a detailed outline of the Jewish understanding of sacrifice and how the New Testament authors would have understood Christ’s death and its relationship with Eucharist. In the Mass the priest “remembers” the sacrifice of His death and participates in the eternal offering of Christ’s death. Nash explains, however, that the Jewish understanding of remembrance was more than just a commemoration: “when the Hebrews remembered an event, God enabled that event to transcend time and impact the present.”
Book Synopsis Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist by : Brant Pitre
Download or read book Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist written by Brant Pitre and published by Image. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory exploration of the Jewish roots of the Last Supper that seeks to understand exactly what happened at Jesus’ final Passover. “Clear, profound and practical—you do not want to miss this book.”—Dr. Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb’s Supper and The Fourth Cup Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as: What was the Passover like at the time of Jesus? What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah? What was Jesus’ purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover? And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, “This is my body… This is my blood”? To answer these questions, Pitre explores ancient Jewish beliefs about the Passover of the Messiah, the miraculous Manna from heaven, and the mysterious Bread of the Presence. As he shows, these three keys—the Passover, the Manna, and the Bread of the Presence—have the power to unlock the original meaning of the Eucharistic words of Jesus. Along the way, Pitre also explains how Jesus united the Last Supper to his death on Good Friday and his Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus’ presence in “the breaking of the bread.”
Book Synopsis Worthy Is the Lamb by : Thomas J. Nash
Download or read book Worthy Is the Lamb written by Thomas J. Nash and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exciting book Thomas Nash refutes the common charge that the Mass is "unbiblical" in a resoundingly biblical fashion. From the Garden of Eden to Christ's Ascension, the biblical roots of the Mass go much deeper than the Last Supper and Christ's Passion. Old Testament sacrifices like Abel's, Abraham's and the Passover all prefigure and are fulfilled by Christ's Sacrifice, which is made present in the Sacrifice of the Mass. What began on the Cross culminated in everlasting glory when Jesus entered "once for all" into the heavenly holy of holies, as the Letter to the Hebrews provides. In a time when the Catholic Church is under attack from within and without, Worthy is the Lamb reminds the faithful that the Mass is, as Vatican II affirms, "the source and summit of the whole Christian life." This book will transform your understanding of and participation in the Mass. "It's high time Catholics discovered the Old Testament roots of our Church's worship and priesthood. The New Covenant did not abolish the Old, but fulfilled and transformed it. Our Lord wants us to experience the reality of the Mass in all its fullness, and that's what Tom Nash wants you to know." -Scott Hahn, Ph.D. Thomas Nash is a Theology Advisor at the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN).
Book Synopsis Sacrifice by : Godfrey William Ashby
Download or read book Sacrifice written by Godfrey William Ashby and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Sacrifice was a language used by all, but understood by none.' Regarding this remark as a challenge, which suggests that while sacrifice is a language in the widest sense of communication, nobody has understood sacrifice, Professor Ashby has made his own study of this complex field. It is his argument that much has been done in recent years to rehabilitate sacrifice, including a greater knowledge of world religions, the findings of anthropology and the impact of other cultures. So the time has come for a major reappraisal of earlier ideas. After an opening chapter on interpretations of sacrifice generally, Professor Ashby considers sacrifice first in Hebrew religion and then in Christianity. He goes on to focus even more specifically on the Jewish Passover and the Christian eucharist, before concluding with the person in whom for Christians all ideas of sacrifice have their focus. the crucified and risen Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ..".The Synoptic accounts of the Last Supper leave us with a unified impression: Jesus has gathered the apostles into the upper room to transform an old feast into a completely new one." This sentence sums up, in essence, this essay by theologian Curtis Mitch. He explains the details of the Seder meal and shows how it is both fulfilled and transformed by the Last Supper. He speaks also of its significance in the history of the Jews, and how this significance continues for us in the Mass that the Church celebrates every day.
Download or read book The Fourth Cup written by Scott Hahn and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Lamb's Supper comes an illuminating work on the Catholic Eucharist and its link to the Jewish Passover meal. “Read this book. And don’t just read it. Pray about it. Reflect on it. And share it with others.”—Brant Pitre, author of The Case for Jesus In this brilliant book—part memoir, part detective story, and part biblical study—Scott Hahn opens up new vistas on ancient landscapes while shedding light on his own enduring faith journey. The Fourth Cup not only tracks the author’s gradual conversion along the path of Evangelicalism to the doorsteps of the Catholic faith, but also explores the often obscure and misunderstood rituals of Passover and their importance in foreshadowing salvation in Jesus Christ. Revealing the story of his formative years as an often hot-headed student and earnest seeker in search of answers to great biblical mysteries, Hahn shows how his ardent exploration of the Bible’s Old Testament turned up intriguing clues connecting the Last Supper and Christ’s death on Calvary. As Hahn tells the story of his discovery of the supreme importance of the Passover in God’s plan of salvation, we too experience often-overlooked relationships between Abel, Abraham, and the Hebrews’ liberation from slavery in Egypt. Along the way, Hahn reveals how the traditional fourth cup of wine used in the concluding celebration of Passover explains in astonishing ways Christ’s paschal sacrifice. Rooted in Scripture and ingrained with lively history, The Fourth Cup delivers a fascinating view of the bridges that span old and new covenants, and celebrates the importance of the Jewish faith in understanding more fully Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.
