From the new man in Rome, Cardinal George Pell AT a time when "the
God question'' has rarely been as controversial, Test Everything,
Hold Fast to What is Good puts the case that: "It is more
reasonable to believe in God than to reject the hypothesis of God
by appealing to chance. Goodness, truth and beauty call for an
explanation as do the principles of mathematics, physics, and the
purpose-driven miracles of biology which run through our
universe.'' Regardless of whether readers share his values and
outlook, Cardinal George Pell has given them a provocative
incitement to think and wonder about life's biggest questions that
confront us all, sooner or later. Connor Court is proud to publish
the Cardinal's new book, a collection of 80 pieces that are
incisive, often unpredictable, sometimes sensitive, occasionally
hard-hitting, always engaging and never, ever dull. Readers will
feel closer to Christ, and feel that they know Him a little better
after exploring His life, teachings and what they mean for our
lives and our loved ones in the cyber age.
Cardinal George Pell's Contemplating Christ with Luke comprises a
series of reflections on a year's Sunday readings from the Gospel
of St. Luke. In his typical down-to-earth, accessible style,
Cardinal Pell uses contemporary events and landmarks to enrich our
appreciation of the Gospel's spiritual messages. As Cardinal Pell
notes in his informative introduction, St. Luke's Gospel is
especially appealing: "Luke is a polished story teller, more
eloquent than the other gospel writers, even if he is less dramatic
than St. John at his best. We must be grateful, as St. Ambrose, the
Archbishop of Milan in the second half of the fourth century
pointed out, because St. Luke 'told us more about Our Lord's
wonderful works than the other Evangelists'." Contemplating Christ
with Luke is beautifully illustrated throughout with modern iconic
paintings by Francisco (Kiko) Arg ello, cofounder of the
Neo-Catechumenal Way and each brief self-contained chapter would be
an ideal springboard for planning homilies or classroom lessons.
