Saint Bible

Sunday Times number-one best seller Ian Rankin returns with his gripping new Rebus novel. Unabridged edition featuring a bonus interview with Ian Rankin and James MacPherson. Rebus is back on the force, albeit with a demotion and a chip on his shoulder. A 30-year-old case is being reopened, and Rebus' team from back then is suspected of foul play. With Malcolm Fox as the investigating officer, are the past and present about to collide in a shocking and murderous fashion?

Mary Magdalene is one of the most influential symbols in the history of Christianity - yet, if you look in the Bible, you'll find only a handful of verses that speak of her. How did she become such a compelling saint in the face of such paltry evidence? In her effort to answer that question, Cynthia Bourgeault examines the Bible, church tradition, art, legend, and newly discovered texts to see what's there.

Anne Catherine Emmerich was born in Germany in 1774. As a child she believed that angels, saints, and the Holy Family visited and talked with her as she worked in the fields. At twenty-four, she had her first mystic vision of the sufferings of Christ, accompanied by stigmata and bleeding as if from the crown of thorns. At twenty-nine, she became an Augustinian nun and continued to have visions and stigmata. In her visions, she recounted scenes from the life of Christ, which she seemed to have witnessed.

Carrying only basic camping equipment and a collection of the world's great spiritual writings, Belden C. Lane embarks on solitary spiritual treks through the Ozarks and across the American Southwest. For companions, he has only such teachers as Rumi, John of the Cross, Hildegard of Bingen, Dag Hammarskjöld, and Thomas Merton, and as he walks, he engages their writings with the natural wonders he encounters, demonstrating how being alone in the wild opens a rare view onto one's interior landscape, and how the saints' writings reveal the divine in nature.

In this classic book, John of Damascus laboured to form one complete, clear, and brief theological work that would summarize all Christian doctrine that had been passed down and agreed upon. The following was said of the book: The result was an inexhaustible storehouse of tradition in which nothing is to be found that has not been either approved by the ecumenical synods or by the established leaders of the Church.

L'"Évangile selon Matthieu" est le premier des quatre évangiles canoniques que contient le Nouveau Testament. Il est aussi le tout premier livre du Nouveau Testament. Ce livre a été attribué pendant de longs siècles à l'apôtre Matthieu, le collecteur d'impôts devenu disciple de Jésus de Nazareth. L'"Évangile selon Matthieu" contient le sermon sur la montagne. La portion la mieux connue est probablement celle des Béatitudes, qui se trouve au début de la section. Il contient aussi la prière du Notre Père et les injonctions contre la loi du talion.

What was so special about the Tyndale Bible? How does it sound to us today? The first text of the Bible to be printed in English was the New Testament of William Tyndale, published in 1525-6. Its repercussions lasted for almost a century, stimulated by the religious intolerances of the age, and Tyndale's influence can be seen in most of the Bible translations over the next 100 years, not least in the language of the King James Bible of 1611 - as this recording of Saint Matthew’s Gospel in the pronunciation of Tyndale’s own time makes vividly clear.

Angels and saints. Catholics tend to think of them as different from the rest of us. They're cast in plaster or simpering on a holy card, performing miracles with superhero strength, or playing a harp in highest heaven.

Yet they are very near to us in every way. In this lively audiobook, Scott Hahn dispels the false notions and urban legends people use to keep the saints at a safe distance. The truth is that Jesus Christ has united heaven and earth in a close communion. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Dr. Hahn shows that the hosts of heaven surround the earthly Church as a "great cloud of witnesses".

Ecrit dans une période comprise entre l'an 80 et l'an 120, par un auteur qui vivait en Syrie en un temps où les trois autres Évangiles étaient déjà en circulation, le manuscrit, en grec et non en hébreu, a été ultérieurement mis en ordre par un rédacteur dont on ignore presque tout, même s'il est présenté comme "le disciple qu'aimait Jésus".

L'"Évangile selon Jean" est le dernier des quatre Évangiles canoniques du Nouveau Testament. La tradition chrétienne l'a attribué à l'un des disciples de Jésus, l'apôtre Jean, fils de Zébédée. L'évangile est constitué d'un prologue - qui commence par le célèbre "Au commencement était le Verbe, et le Verbe était avec Dieu, et le Verbe était Dieu" - et d'un épilogue. Ce prologue et cet épilogue encadrent le récit proprement dit, composé de deux grandes parties : respectivement la révélation du Christ devant le monde et la révélation du Christ.

L'"Évangile selon Marc" forme, avec les trois autres évangiles, le cœur du Nouveau Testament, la partie la plus récente de la Bible chrétienne. Dès le prologue, Jésus nous est présenté comme le Messie, le Fils de Dieu. Poussé au désert par l'Esprit, Jésus se prépare à affronter son ennemi principal : Satan. Mais les anges le servent, et les bêtes sont témoins. Le Nouveau Souverain s'avance souverainement dans sa patrie, la Galilée. Il désigne ses premiers disciples, qui seront ses ministres. Il chasse les démons. Il parcourt toute la Galilée.

Paul's life was never dull. First appearing in the New Testament as a violent enemy of Christ, Paul later went on to not only put his faith in the risen Lord but to pen thirteen letters of the New Testament—in the midst of being beaten, shipwrecked, snakebitten, imprisoned, and chased out of town.

Known as the "Prince of Preachers", Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was an English Baptist preacher and pastor of the congregation of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London for 38 years. Spurgeon authored an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns, and sermons.

While the Litany of Saint Joseph is filled with many rich titles describing Joseph’s virtues and duties—such as most just, most chaste, patron of the dying, terror of demons, and protector of the holy church—there is one title that stands out which is quietly absent from his litany: the man closest to Christ.

L'"Évangile selon Luc" est le troisième des quatre Évangiles canoniques. La tradition chrétienne lui attribue pour auteur le personnage appelé "Luc le bon médecin" dans certaines lettres de Paul de Tarse. Comme l'Évangile selon Marc, son texte se présente comme une biographie de Jésus de Nazareth. La généalogie de Jésus, dans l'évangile selon Saint Luc, est une généalogie ascendante, de Jésus à Adam, père de l'humanité, et passant par Nathan, autre fils de David.

Sarai was a child of ten years, wise for her age but not yet a woman, when she first met Abram. He appeared before her in her father's house, filthy from the desert, tired and thirsty. But as the dirt of travel was washed from his body, the sight of him filled her heart. And when Abram promises Sarai to return in ten years to take her for his wife, her fate was sealed. Abram kept his promise, and Sarai kept hers. They were wed, and so joined the royal house of Ur with the high priesthood of the Hebrews. So began a lifetime of great joy together,
