A Guide to Catholic LivingKevin O'Neil, C.Ss.R. & Peter Black, C.Ss.R.

The newest entry in the best-selling "Essential" series is intended to help readers grasp the fundamentals of the Roman Catholic tradition of moral theology and apply them to their own lives. While many people consider moral theology to be primarily the field of theology which teaches right from wrong, it is much more than that. Developments in technology, particularly biomedical advances, are forcing ever more complex choices on Catholics and non-Catholics alike. This new volume in the "Essential" series will provide valuable assistance to lay ministers, members of evangelical teams, parents mentoring their children in the basics of their faith, RCIA candidates and others interested in the tenants of Catholicism, high school teachers and those who want a review of the moral issues in light of current events. 304 pages; Paperback. Fall 2002

$13.95
A Guide for CatholicsA Redemptorist Pastoral Publication; Compiled by Thomas M. Santa, C.Ss.R.

The latest entry in the best-selling “Essential” series is intended to help readers understand the place of the Bible in Catholic tradition, the history of how the Bible developed, a guide to its interpretation, and its use in prayer. Also included are such helpful aids as tips for preparing for the Sunday lectionary readings, Biblical prayer services for special occasions, a suggested plan for reading the Bible, a chart of New Testament parables, and a list of helps for reading the Bible. The Catechism of the Catholic Church underscores the rationale for this book. It says: “In order to reveal himself to men...God speaks to them in human words....Through all the words of Sacred Scripture, God speaks only one single Word, his one Utterance in whom he expresses himself completely." (CCC 101–102). And the encyclical Dei Verbum (The Word of God) (1965) urges the children of the Church to read the Scriptures on a frequent basis (DV 24). This new volume in the “Essential” series will provide valuable assistance to adult Catholics who wish to develop their faith life, who wish to understand the meaning of the Bible more deeply, and who wish to make the Bible an essential part of their spiritual development. 304 pages; Paperback, Fall 2002
