Libros Profeticos 2 – (Spanish)
$14.99Add to cartQuienes fueron los profetas menores? Que hizo Israel para encontrar esperanza en medio de guerras, invasiones y el exilio? Cuales fueron las circunstancias en que se dio la destruccion del templo de Jerusalen asi como su reconstruccion? Como podemos orar aprovechando lo que se relata en la Escritura? Rodeado de amenazas politicas y militares, el pueblo de Israel fue a dar a alianzas peligrosas que eventualmente lo llevaron a la guerra. Sus sobrevivientes quedaron sometidos a pagar elevados impuestos, u obligados al exilio, al matrimonio con extranjeros y a otras violaciones mas. Por todo esto la fidelidad de Israel a su Dios disminuyo. Posteriormente, con la destruccion del Templo a manos de los babilonios, parecia que toda fe habia desaparecido. Este libro del Estudio Biblico llevara al lector a adentrarse en el mensaje de los Profetas Menores. Mensaje que va dirigido al pueblo de Israel que se encuentre en medio de la prueba y de la contradiccion. Al leerlo, el lector descubrira que estos profetas son llamados menores debido solamente a la brevedad de sus escritos y de ninguna manera a lo insignificante de su mensaje.

Prophets 3 : Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah Micah Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah H
$14.99Add to cartSurrounded by military and political threats, the people of Israel were led into dangerous alliances and war. Survivors were subjected to steep taxation, exile, intermarriage, and more, and loyalty to God diminished. With the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians, all faith seemed lost.Enter the minor prophets, bringers of oracles, parables, and poems named “minor” not for their lack of significance but for the briefness of their texts. Like Jonah in the fish, they confess sin and foresee judgment but emerge from the darkness to tell of forgiveness, restoration, abundant blessings, and salvation. Like the Temple, which was rebuilt, the loyalty of the Lord will grow and prosper.

Pastoral Letters And The Letter To The Hebrews
$14.99Add to cartThe early Church of the first century faced a remarkable challenge of adapting itself to a multicultural and often hostile world. The pastoral letters-the First and Second Letters to Timothy and the Letter to Titus-contained necessary instructions for carrying out the pastoral or ministerial office of the Church. We have included the Letter to the Hebrews with these traditional pastoral letters because it too served a teaching function in the first century, helping to bridge the gap between the old and new covenants.

Letters To The Corinthians
$14.99Add to cartSaint Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians reads like a letter from a concerned parent who wishes to share wisdom-and a warning-with his or her children. For Paul has received some disturbing news about the people he knows well and loves. Therefore, this first letter reflects Paul’s own suffering as well as his desire to have the Corinthians change their ways.
As Paul continues his Second Letter to the Corinthians, his words express many different emotions. One might even break the letter down into sections that give an image of Paul as a man who is angry, compassionate, forgiving, loving, and sorrowful. In this second letter we are provided a glimpse of the passion of Paul, a man with many moods and emotions.
As you study these letters written by St. Paul, the church of Corinth exemplifies the fact that arguments have always existed among the people of God. Though these arguments are familiar to the Christian journey, we are reminded in these letters that the Holy Spirit is with us and will work through us-and that our deepest call is to love God and one another.

Letters To The Romans And Galatians
$14.99Add to cartWho wrote the Letters to the Romans and Galatians? Why were these letters composed? What were the major arguments in early Christian communities? How does lectio divina move us to pray with Scripture? Rev. Anderson writes that, “each of [Paul’s letters] addresses particular issues and arguments within the community to whom he was writing.”
Although he never preached in Rome, yet converted many in Galatia, he had much of the same message in both letters. The primary issue that is addressed by Paul in his letters is how to assimilate the Old and New covenants — the communities as a mixture of Jews and Gentiles were beginning to live their Christian faith together. As their traditions and newfound teachings would clash, arguments would arise. Paul’s letters were written with love and concern for the communities to which he sent them. And as these conflicts would arise, his letters helped these communities to work through divisions and act lovingly towards one another. -
Gospel Of Mark
$14.99Add to cartExplore the Gospel of Mark, which is the first Gospel to be written and also the shortest of the four Gospels. Scholars tell us that this Gospel was used by the authors of Matthew and Luke as a resource.
At the time when Mark wrote his gospel, Christians suffered persecution and death for the sake of Christ and wondered why evil remained so powerful after its conquest by Jesus. Events in our world today often lead us to ask the same question. Why is the power of evil so strong in the world, while the power of good seems so weak?
The Gospels answer this and other questions for both our present age, those in ages past, and will continue to answer these questions for ages to come.

Gospel Of Matthew
$14.99Add to cartWhile drawing from Mark’s gospel, Matthew wrote a different kind of faith testimony about Jesus, one oriented toward a Jewish audience.
The Gospel of Matthew focuses on Jesus and his equality with God and treats as well the Kingdom of God as the Church, the promise of eternal life, and his teaching of the two-fold commandment to love God and neighbor. Rev. Anderson helps you not only study Matthew, but also pray his gospel with the Lectio Divina method that is a core element of the Liguori Catholic Bible Study.
