Navarre Bible: Psalms & Song of Solomon
$44.95
This fourth volume of the Navarre Bible Old Testament commentaries sheds light on the simple beauty of the Psalms and Song of Solomon (Song of Songs). The Catechism teaches that the Psalms, “whether hymns or prayers of lamentation or thanksgiving, whether individual or communal, whether royal chants, songs of pilgrimage or wisdom-meditations…are a mirror of God’s marvelous deeds in the history of his people, as well as reflections of the human experiences of the Psalmist.”

Even though they often reflect events of the past, the Psalms still possess such direct simplicity and depth that they can be prayed sincerely in all times and conditions. This edition with its illuminating commentary will help make these prayers an important part of your life.

This sturdy hardcover contains the complete Latin and English texts of each book; commentary based on the writings of the great saints and doctors of the Church; and material on each book’s historical and Biblical context. Author: University of Navarre; Publisher: Scepter/Four Courts, 528 pages, Hardback, October 2003.

Navarre Bible: Wisdom Books
$44.95
Author: University of Navarre. This volume, which follows the pattern of the highly successful Navarre Bible New Testament, consists of the Revised Standard Version and the New Vulgate with a Commentary by members of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Navarre, Spain.

One of the most striking aspects of both these books is the use of poetry. Although poetic language is to be found in many Old Testament books, it is the predominant form in these ones. The book of Psalms and the Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon) contain lyric poetry, whereas the other books consist mainly of proverbs or aphorisms in verse form, and wisdom poems in varying lengths. This is primarily why the Psalms and the Song are described as poetical books, and the others as wisdom books.

This volume also contains notes, introductions, and Latin. The editors' notes, which are rarely very technical, are designed to elucidate the spiritual and theological message of the Bible.

Navarre Bible: Major Prophets
$44.95
This volume of the Navarre Bible commentaries sheds light on the four "major" prophets of the Old Testament: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. In the language of the Bible, the words "prophet", "prophecy" etc. have quite a broad meaning, but all refer primarily to the idea of "speaking in the name of God". While each of these books of the Old Testament is unique in its message, there are three points that they all stress - belief in God, the future Messianic age, and ethical and social teaching. Like all the books in the Navarre series, this edition will help to deepen your understanding of these sacred texts.

This latest edition of the Navarre Bible includes extensive Catholic commentary for the entire New Testament all in one volume. It has wide-ranging general introductions, individual book introductions, a table of sources cited, maps, and informative notes. Compiled by the faculty of the University of Navarre, the commentaries draw on a huge variety of sources: Church documents, the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and the work of prominent spiritual writers.

Searching for and Maintaining Peace: A Small Treatise on Peace of Heart
$7.95
We live in a day and age characterized by an extraordinary amount of agitation and lack of peace. This tendency manifests itself in our spiritual as well as our secular life. In our search for God and holiness, in our service to our neighbor, a kind of restlessness and anxiety take the place of the confidence and peace which ought to be ours. What must we do to overcome the moments of fear and distress which assail us all too often in our lives? How can we learn to place all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves into his loving care? This is what is taught in this simple, yet profound little treatise on peace of heart. Taking concrete examples from our everyday life, the author invites us to respond in a Gospel fashion to the upsetting situations we must all confront. Since peace of heart is a pure gift of God, it is something we should seek, pursue and ask him for without cease. This book is here to help us in that pursuit.

About the Author: Father Jacques Philippe is a “Shepherd” in the Communité du Lion de Juda in Rome. A priest since 1985, he regularly preaches retreats in France and abroad.

Friendship of Christ - Exploring the Humanity of Jesus Christ
$9.95
SCP:1889334405
By Robert Hugh Benson

The human need for friendship is raised to the supernatural level in Robert Hugh Benson's timeless illustration of the greatest friendship anyone could ever possess. In The Friendship of Christ, first published in 1912, the Catholic convert son of an Archbishop of Canterbury shows how anyone can achieve a deeper relationship with God the Son. The book shows how Christ works in the soul of those who seek him, in his public life, and in the historical examples given in the Gospels. "There is one supreme friendship to which all human friendship points," writes Benson, "one ideal friend in whom we find, perfect and complete, that for which we look in the faces of our human lovers.

Understanding the Gospels
$9.95
SCP:70713
The last two hundred years show the emergence of an enormous growth industry in the field of Biblical analysis, particularly on the evidence presented in the Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus Christ. But most often the exhaustive analysis brought to bear on the Gospels is dominated by a biased point-of-view against their authenticity. Authors who have taken the position of “liberal” criticism claim that the Gospels do not show the true Jesus, but one who has been idealized and mythologized by his followers.

Written by faculty from the University of Navarre, this book takes the approach of a careful study of the texts and their surrounding circumstances to show that the Gospels are both a reflection of the Apostles’ preaching about Jesus as well as trustworthy historical testimonies to his life and work.

Paperback; 196 pages.
