This book argues that the history of English Bibles after the King James Version is not a story of rebellion against Scripture, but a story of readers, churches, and translators wrestling with three stubborn realities: the KJV’s language grew harder for modern readers to understand, the manuscript base available to scholars expanded far beyond what was known in 1611, and different Christian communities needed translations suited to worship, study, evangelism, and ordinary reading.

Aquinas at Prayer draws attention to important aspects of Aquinas's life and work which have been all too often overlooked or forgotten. Today Aquinas is almost exclusively regarded as an outstanding scholastic philosopher and theologian. But what is little known is that Aquinas was, first and last, a teacher of the Bible - a Master of the Sacred Page. Moreover there is a distinctly mystical character to his theology. And, as a writer, he was not only a poet but, arguably, the greatest Latin poet of the Middle Ages.

Caught between how ancient people understood divinity, which was mostly as supreme beings with large egos and hankerings for sacrificed animals, and Christ's message of God's reckless and radical love, Christianity has always sought to thread the needle between God's justice and God's love.

There may be no person on the globe who knows more about the story of Fatima than Sr. Angela de Fatima Coelho. As a little girl growing up in Portugal, she used to pray at the tombs of Jacinta and Francisco Marto.

Servanthood of Song is a history of American church music from the colonial era to the present. Its focus is on the institutional and societal pressures that have shaped church song and have led us directly to where we are today. The gulf which separates advocates of traditional and contemporary worship—Black and White, Protestant and Catholic—is not new. History repeatedly shows us that ministry, to be effective, must meet the needs of the entire worshiping community, not just one segment, age group, or class.
