This book argues that the history of English Bibles after the King James Version is not a story of rebellion against Scripture, but a story of readers, churches, and translators wrestling with three stubborn realities: the KJV’s language grew harder for modern readers to understand, the manuscript base available to scholars expanded far beyond what was known in 1611, and different Christian communities needed translations suited to worship, study, evangelism, and ordinary reading. It begins by showing that many modern readers can follow the KJV at a surface level but often stumble over ...

Pope Leo XIV, elected less than a year earlier, faces both fires simultaneously. A Pope Between Two Fires is the essential guide to the most serious crisis in Catholic unity in a ...

Today Aquinas is almost exclusively regarded as an outstanding scholastic philosopher and theologian. But what is little known is that Aquinas was, first and last, a teacher of the Bible - a Master of the Sacred Page. Moreover there is a distinctly mystical character to his theology. And, as a writer, he was not only a poet but, arguably, the greatest Latin poet of the Middle Ages.
