In The Cloister Life, the celebrated author turns to the priory as her spiritual landscape, as she takes us through a liturgical year, inspiring us to evaluate our own lives and values. Norris provides tremendous insight into the languages, customs, ceremonies, and sexuality of the men and women who have chosen the cloistered life.

The Summa Theologica, by Thomas Aquinas, is a fundamental text in Catholic doctrine, a compendium of theology that has been studied and debated since its first publication in the 13th century. Furthermore, it has been widely regarded as one of the classics of Western philosophy, not least because, perhaps for the first time in such a systematic manner, it set out to consider the views of non-Christian figures such as Aristotle, Boethius, Muslim writers including Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and the Sephardic Jewish scholar Maimonides.

Benedetto XVI, il Papa emerito. Ma soprattutto l’uomo del Monastero: l’ex convento di clausura incastonato in una radura appartata dei Giardini vaticani, dove si è trasferito nel maggio del 2013 dopo l’epocale rinuncia al pontificato. Da allora, la percezione della sua personalità è cambiata. Con quel gesto di Joseph Ratzinger si sono prodotte anomalie a cascata che, dopo nove anni di papato di Francesco, perdurano e condizionano gli equilibri della Chiesa.

People in Glass Houses tells how a small church in a suburban Australian school hall became a multimillion-dollar tax-free enterprise and a powerful international force. Providing memorable portraits of charismatic leaders Brian and Bobbie Houston, this is a powerful, personal, and at times very funny exploration of an all-singing, all-swaying mega church. The church is more than a faith—it’s a brand. And one fraught with scandal.

In 1520, Martin Luther debated Catholic theologian Johann Eck in Leipzig - and lost. After the debate, the pope threatened Luther with excommunication. He responded by writing this address to the German nobility, urging them to consider his reforms for the church. He argues that the Catholic church abuses undue power, and asks, “If we rightly hang thieves and behead robbers, why do we leave the greed of Rome unpunished?”

To Christians, nothing is more important than clearly confessing and bearing witness to the truths of God's word, which reveals the glorious Gospel of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. That is what the Book of Concord is all about.

In this course, Professor Joseph Pearce shows that Tolkien's own words about The Lord of the Rings being a "fundamentally religious and Catholic work" also apply to The Hobbit. Some readers mistakenly believe that The Hobbit is simply a children's story with little significance. While Tolkien indeed wrote the book for his children's entertainment, the narrative simplicity only serves its great moral and theological profundity. Professor Pearce guides you through various life lessons discovered through an in-depth reading of The Hobbit.

Apocalyptic millennialism is one of the most powerful strands in evangelical Christianity. It is not a single belief, but across many powerful evangelical groups there is general adhesion to faith in the physical return of Jesus in the Second Coming, the affirmation of a Rapture heavenward of "saved" believers, a millennium of peace under the rule of Jesus and his saints and, eventually, a final judgement and entry into deep eternity. A key figure in this process was John Nelson Darby.

In July 1973, Bob Tininenko, his wife Linda, and his brother in-law Jim Fisher set sail from Tacoma, Washington, on a 31-foot trimaran, down the West Coast to Costa Rica. The journey was expected to take a matter of weeks, but 10 days into the cruise, the party encountered a freak storm off the coast of Northern California. When gale-force winds and 50-foot waves capsized their boat, the voyage became a nightmare. For 72 days, the trio was lost at sea. Challenged by nature and compromised by a bitter rivalry, their courage and will to live was put to the ultimate test.

When Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres received her astonishing apparitions from Our Lady of Good Success in Quito, Ecuador, four centuries ago, the visions so overwhelmed her that she actually died — until her sisters’ prayers brought her back to life. These approved apparitions, recounting prophecies for our times, speak powerfully of the Church’s present trials: attacks on the sacraments, priesthood, and family. Yet, through warnings of crisis shine promises of hope, urging us to defend the Faith and trust in Mary’s triumph.

There are still big theological discoveries to be found when digging into Scripture. Hyper-Calvinist Universal Salvation unearths a few of them, most notably, a previously undiscovered theology in Scripture, where the mysterious entity referred to in the book of Revelation as the Lake of Fire is found to be another name for GOD, who, according to Scripture, will save all condemned and unchosen human souls that were ever created at the Eschaton (end of the world), when he will immolate them in the core of his Consuming Fire (Lake of Fire), to save them by Fire (1 Cor 3: 15).

St. Peter Claver voluntarily entered the horrors of the slave trade to serve as a “slave of the slaves,” bringing comfort, healing, and the sacraments to the most forsaken. This powerful book follows his heroic charity aboard disease-ridden ships and in the slave pens of the West Indies, where he lived Ignatian spirituality with selfless love. Alongside Claver’s example, the book reflects on the Church’s historical witness against slavery and offers timely spiritual insights on how personal holiness and sacrificial love remain the most potent force against injustice—then and now.

Here Am I reflects the attitude of our Anointed One. The words were spoken initially in Isaiah 6: 8 when the Lord was looking for a messenger, and Isaiah was saying, "Here am I. Send me.

Reclaiming American Catholicism makes the argument that recalibrating the Church's engagement with politics and public life is vital for both the Church and the country.
