Robert Barron is one of the Catholic Church's premier theologians
and author of the influential The Priority of Christ. In this
volume, Barron sets forth a thoroughgoing vision for an evangelical
catholic theology that is steeped in the tradition and engaged with
the contemporary world. Striking a balance between academic rigor
and accessibility, the book covers issues of perennial interest in
the twenty-first-century church: who God is, how to rightly worship
him, and how his followers engage contemporary culture. Topics
include the doctrine of God, Catholic theology, philosophy,
liturgy, and evangelizing the culture. This work will be of special
interest to readers concerned about the so-called "new atheism."
For a long time, Christians have tried to bridge the divide between
Christianity and secular liberalism with philosophizing and
theologizing. In The Priority of Christ, Bishop Robert Barron shows
that the answer to this debate--and the way to move forward--lies
in Jesus. Barron transcends the usual liberal/conservative or
Protestant/Catholic divides with a postliberal Catholicism that
brings the focus back on Jesus as revealed in the New Testament
narratives. Barron's classical Catholic post-liberalism will be of
interest to a broad audience including not only the academic
community but also preachers and general readers interested in
entering the dialogue between Catholicism and postliberalism.

The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible encourages readers
to explore how the vital roots of the ancient Christian tradition
should inform and shape faithfulness today. In this addition to the
series, highly acclaimed author, speaker, and theologian Robert
Barron offers a theological exegesis of 2 Samuel. He highlights
three major themes: God's non-competitive transcendence, the play
between divine and non-divine causality, and the role of Old
Testament kingship. As with other volumes in the series, this book
is ideal for those called to ministry, serving as a rich resource
for preachers, teachers, students, and study groups.
Forget all the expensive MBA handbooks, bin your application forms
to Insead, Harvard and LBS, and read this cult guide instead. From
the Introduction: The desire to get ahead in business is stimulated
at an early age. Remember that intoxicating moment when you first
managed to get Mayfair and Park Lane, built hotels on each, and
sent your opponent headlong into bankruptcy when he landed on one
after the other? Remember the thrill when you bartered a rusty
Swiss penknife for your friend's father's Rolex? It's a fact that
the very best childhood memories tend to be materialistic,
competitive and exploitative - in short, capitalist. Recapturing
those thrills is more elusive in the real game of business. It's a
tough world out there, the rules are strictly enforced, and the
competition's a little sharper than when you skittled Granny out of
the game with some shrewd double-sixes. If you want to be a
high-flier in today's business world, you've got to have a good
grasp of the fundamentals - like how to talk and how to look - and
at least have a nodding acquaintance with peripheral matters like
finance and marketing. Otherwise, in no time at all, you'll find
yourself surrounded by colleagues babbling in tongues you don't
understand and leapfrogging you on their way to the top. This book
is aimed at executives who have neither the time nor the
inclination to read orthodox - that is, expensive and leadenly
theoretical - business books. It sorts the nuggets from the sludge
and discards the stuff you don't need to know. Quite a lot has been
discarded. Just as it takes 250 tons of ore to produce one carat of
diamond, so we have reduced the study of business to its essence.
In a time of discouragement, how can the Church renew itself and
its outreach to all people? Bishop Robert Barron, Auxiliary Bishop
of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, insists that a ""dumbed down""
Catholicism cannot succeed in today's highly educated
society--instead, the Church needs to draw upon its great
theological heritage in order to renew its hope in Christ. With
Renewing Our Hope: Essays for the New Evangelization, Bishop Barron
traces this renewal through four stages. ""Renewing Our Mission""
lays out the challenges that call for Catholics to become more
aware of their own intellectual resources in encountering the
""Nones."" ""Renewing Our Minds"" showcases the importance of
theological reflection as a font of wisdom and sanity in the
Church, touching on Thomas Aquinas, Hans Urs von Balthasar, the
recently canonized John Henry Newman, and Pope Francis. In
""Renewing the Church,"" he proceeds to look at how Scripture, the
family, the seminary, and Catholic college graduates can each
contribute to this renewal. Finally, in ""Renewing Our Culture,""
he returns to the judgments Catholics must make in assessing
contemporary culture, specifically, family life, liberalism,
relativism, and (surprisingly) the beauty of cinema. Bishop Barron,
known as the host of the Catholicism PBS video series, was
previously rector and professor of systematic theology at Mundelein
Seminary outside Chicago, Illinois. He demonstrates again in
Renewing Our Hope his ability to make the fruits of his wide
reading accessible to a broad audience, while still giving his
academic colleagues much to consider.
Starting from the essential foundation of Jesus Christ's
incarnation, life, and teaching, Father Barron moves through the
defining elements of Catholicism - from sacraments, worship, and
prayer, to Mary, the Apostles, and Saints, to grace, salvation,
heaven, and hell - using his distinct and dynamic grasp of art,
literature, architecture, personal stories, Scripture, theology,
philosophy, and history to present the Church to the world.

Bridging the Great Divide: Musings of a Post-Liberal,
Post-Conservative Evangelical Catholic represents a pivotal moment
in the life of the Catholic community. As the Church seeks to
maintain its unique witness, nurture the faithful, and evangelize,
a new generation of American Catholics has emerged. No longer the
"next generation," these new leaders came of age after the Second
Vatican Council and, like many others, no longer find compelling
the battles between the liberals and conservatives throughout the
post-conciliar period. Today's faithful are searching for an
expression of Catholic Christianity that is vibrant, colorful,
provocative, counter-cultural, deeply rooted in the tradition, and
full of the promise of the Good News. In this timely and prophetic
book, Father Robert Barron himself a member of the younger
generation has minted a new vernacular and blazed a new way that
goes bridges the great divide and gives voice to the concerns of
post-liberal, post-conservative, evangelical believers."
