Spirit & Life: Essays On Interpreting the Bible In Ordinary Time

Spirit and Life: Interpreting the Bible in Ordinary Time is written by well-known and respected scholar and author Scott Hahn. These nine essays provide fresh insights into important biblical themes. Topics in this volume include:

•Scripture as God’s symphony 

•Pope Benedict’s Scripture-based teaching on the person and prayer of Jesus 

•The connection of Scripture, liturgy, and the Church 

•The “liturgical sense” of God’s Word 

•The theme of fulfillment in Matthew’s Gospel 

•Church authority within a scriptural context 

•A biblical approach to the “Pentecostal” phenomena 

•A paradox? Christ as Majestic Judge vs. Christ as the Lamb

Hahn shows that Scripture is not a dead letter but rather a great, living gift from God. Indeed, it is “spirit and life” to those who will unwrap and embrace it. Spirit and Life: Interpreting the Bible in Ordinary Time provides the reader with a greater appreciation of the Living Word.
