Who was Matthew? Why did many Jews not recognize Jesus as the Messiah? What does the Gospel of Matthew say to us today? How does lectio divina move us to pray with Scripture?The evangelist Matthew writes to a Jewish-Christian audience and teaches us that Christ fulfills the promises of the Old Testament. The inheritance of the Messiah belonged to the Israelite people; however, many Jews didn't recognize Jesus, which is why Gentiles made up a large portion of the early Christian converts. Matthew's Gospel quotes the Old Testament as it speaks of the reign of God, the promise of eternal life, and Jesus' teaching of the twofold commandment to love God and neighbor. In The Gospel of Matthew, Father Bill Anderson's conversational instruction style brings Scripture to life, moving us to use God's Word in prayer through the spiritual discipline of lectio divina.For more information on the Liguori Catholic Bible Study, visit liguoricatholicbiblestudy.com to learn more about this series and study resources.

¿Cuál fue la razón de que Pablo escribiera a los romanos y a los gálatas? ¿Cuál era la situación de la iglesia de Corinto? ¿Cuáles eran las principales dificultades que atravesaba la iglesia de Filipos? ¿De qué manera nos invita la lectio divina a orar con estos pasajes de la Escritura? Las cartas paulinas que se explican en este libro tratan de la respuesta del Apóstol a las interrogantes e inquietudes de las primeras comunidades cristianas de Roma, Galacia, Corinto y Filipos. En cada una de ellas resuena de una manera u otra un mensaje central y común: existe una vida nueva que se nos ofrece en Cristo Jesús y en la recepción y experiencia de los dones del Espíritu Santo. Vida nueva que implica ser un solo pueblo a pesar de las diferencias, reconociendo en el amor el más hondo y grande llamado de Dios a los cristianos y permitiendo al Espíritu Santo acompañarnos y actuar a través de nosotros.

Surrounded by military and political threats, the people of Israel were led into dangerous alliances and war. Survivors were subjected to steep taxation, exile, intermarriage, and more, and loyalty to God diminished. With the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians, all faith seemed lost.Enter the minor prophets, bringers of oracles, parables, and poems named "minor" not for their lack of significance but for the briefness of their texts. Like Jonah in the fish, they confess sin and foresee judgment but emerge from the darkness to tell of forgiveness, restoration, abundant blessings, and salvation. Like the Temple, which was rebuilt, the loyalty of the Lord will grow and prosper.

The role of the prophets was to communicate Gods message to the people and to

The Acts of the Apostles: Good News for All People, Father Anderson describes how the Book of Acts recounts the origins of the Church and its growth--from the persecution of the followers of Jesus through the spread of the faith. The ministry of Peter and other early missionaries begins the study, with a major portion of the book following the missionary journeys of Saint Paul. Throughout, Anderson explains the dominant role the Holy Spirit plays in the spread of Christianity. He addresses the rapid and dramatic changes in the years following the ascension of Jesus and the political and religious challenges his disciples endured. Through this study of Acts, we will see that the mission of the Twelve has become the mission of many, as we are called to gift the world with the message of Jesus through our lives today.

Translation of: Universal letters: James, 1 and 2 Peter, 1, 2, and 3 John, Jude / William A. Anderson, DMin, PhD. 2014.

The early Church's growth from a handful of disciples to a large community of followers forced the Church to become an institution that could cope with large numbers. In this volume, Father William A. Anderson probes several New Testament letters that were addressed to the "catholic," or universal, Church. General in nature, these letters welcomed and addressed all Christians. Through them, the writers were able to encourage whole communities and provide instruction on Christian living.

La Biblia es el texto mas venerado por los cristianos y tambien el mas conocido; pero, paradojicamente, quizas es tambien el menos comprendido. El P. William A. Anderson proporciona al lector las bases para entender su contexto cultural e historico, para "escuchar" las tradiciones orales y para "encontrarse" con los autores sagrados y lograr asi una mejor comprension del mismo. Al tener mas presente la Palabra de Dios en su vida, su relacion con Dios se hara tambien, si cabe, mas profunda. Introduction to the Bible: Overview, Historical Context, and Cultural Perspectives Introduction to the Bible, the first book in the series, lays the groundwork for readers to understand the Bible. Fr. William A. Anderson helps readers understand historical and cultural contexts, "hear" oral traditions, and "meet" the writers of the books of the Bible.

The Bible is ever ancient and ever new--a compilation of many books from unique periods of antiquity that makes it "a library within a library." As the most revered of Christian texts, the Bible is the best known and most sold, but perhaps the least understood book in the world. Father William A. Anderson lays groundwork for the reader to understand the historical and cultural contexts, "hear" the oral traditions, and "meet" the writers of each book of the Bible.

This study is inspired by the Eastern form of the "Green Man". It raises questions about the nature of consciousness, the higher capacities of the human mind and the act of creativity. The work spans centuries of human thought and explores the experience of joy which rises out of creativity.

Anderson explores the special form of metatheatre that we admire in Plautus, by which he undermines the assumptions of his Greek 'models' and replaces them with a new, confident Roman comedy.
