Duplex Regnum Christi
In this historical study, Jonathon D. Beeke considers the various sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Reformed expressions regarding the duplex regnum Christi (the twofold kingdom of Christ), or, as especially denominated in the Lutheran context, the “doctrine of the two kingdoms.” While a sampling of patristic and medieval sources is considered, the focus is on select magisterial Reformers of the sixteenth century and representative intellectual centers of the seventeenth century (Leiden, Geneva, and Edinburgh). A primary concern is to examine the development of these formulations over the two centuries in question, and relate its maturation to the theological and political context of the early modern period. Various conclusions are offered that address the contemporary “two-kingdoms” debate within the Reformed tradition.
Quiverfull
Kathryn Joyce's fascinating introduction to the world of the patriarchy movement and Quiverfull families examines the twenty-first-century women and men who proclaim self-sacrifice and submission as model virtues of womanhood—and as modes of warfare on behalf of Christ. Here, women live within stringently enforced doctrines of wifely submission and male headship, and live by the Quiverfull philosophy of letting God give them as many children as possible so as to win the religion and culture wars through demographic means. From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Path to Joy
This book is meant for anyone who is trying to go deeper in his or her Christian faith. Tom has creatively captured the essence of the path to joy, i.e. full union with God. Using today's language, while retaining consistency with Catholic doctrine, Tom takes you through a stage by stage progression into a deeper spiritual relationship with God. There are reflection questions at the end of each chapter for personal or group study as well as many references to other works for further detail examination.
Father Donahough's Rebellion
During a family wedding celebration, Fr. Bill Donahough finds himself privy to his young sister's trauma. He arranges an abortion. What follows is the tidal wave effect upon his own life and those who are close to him-his siblings, his fellow priests, the Church hierarchy, and the secretive Catholic lay apostolate known as Opus Dei. During that celebration week on a Florida beach, Bill meets the lovely and brilliant Kathleen Pilgrin. Their lives begin to intertwine, initially bound together only by a thread of common interest in the pedophile scandal rocking the Church imperceptibly, those binding ties intensify as Bill fights an attraction that seems beyond his control. Rebellions is the story of a modern-day priest who learns that personal meaning in life cannot be found through identification with a flawed institution, but rather is mined through an inner search of person. He finds a redeeming and freeing power of love as he deals with his own crisis conscience and his personal search for God.
Vows of Silence
Going deep behind the headlines about scandals in the Catholic Church, Jason Berry and Gerald Renner follow the staggering trail of evasions and deceit that leads directly to the Vatican and taints the legacy of Pope John Paul II. Based on more than six years of investigative reporting and hundreds of interviews, Vows of Silence is a riveting account of Vatican cover-ups. Both a profound criticism and a wake-up call to reform by two Catholic writers, this book reveals an agenda of top-down control under John Paul II and a hierarchy so obsessed with secrecy as to spawn disinformation. Vows of Silence cuts between the life story of Father Tom Doyle, who sacrificed a diplomatic career with the ...
