Homosexuality In The Church
$42.00
Advisory: Some of the views put forth in this book challenge the traditionally accepted teachings on the issue of homosexuality and the Christian faith. Authorities on scripture, tradition, reason, biology ethics, and gendered experience discuss one of the most divisive debates in the church today; the place of homosexuals in the community of faith. Each perspective is explored by two writers-one more traditional, the other challenging tradition. This book will help to foster constructive dialogue, even reconciliation and healing, among people who stand in disagreement with one another, as well as those who are not sure what they think. The balanced treatment of the issues and the contrasting insights of the essays make this a valuable resource for reflection individually or in groups. Study questions at end of chapters and the statements on homosexuality of several Christian denominations.

7 Last Words
$18.99Add to cartBased on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
*”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
*”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
*”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
*”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
*”I thirst.”?
*”It is finished.”?
*”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
