In the bitter conflict over the Holy Land, two generations of
families-one Israeli and one Palestinian-fight for their survival
and their own piece of the Promised Land.
Hardened by life in a Nazi concentration camp, cynical Ellie finds
himself in a battle on behalf of the Jewish people, vowing to
ensure their suffering will not be in vain. Overseas, Yasif, a
Palestinian who left his home country at a young age to study in
America, is mysteriously drawn into the struggle by an entity known
only as the voice.
Underneath the bloody encounters of Ellie, Yasif, and their
respective families runs a current of hope and belief in the
possibility of a peaceful resolution to the conflict. But the
unending cycle of violence and heartbreak threatens to prevent such
a resolution-while the possibility of peace exists, so does its
explosive alternative.
Subtitle: Orthodox Christian Reflections on the Book of Genesis The
Book of Genesis is foundational reading for the Christian,
concerned as it is with the origins of our race and the beginnings
of salvation history. Its opening pages provide the theological
suppositions of the entire biblical story: Creation, especially
that of man in God's image, the structure of time, man's
relationship to God, the entrance of sin into the world, and God's
selection of a specific line of revelation that will give structure
to history. Early Christian writers such as St. Paul saw no
dichotomy between the writings of the Law, of which Genesis is the
beginning, and the Gospel. Rather, the Gospel is the key to
understanding the Law. In "Creation and the Patriarchal Histories,"
Fr. Reardon shows clearly how the proper understanding of Creation
and the Fall informs all of Christian doctrine, and how the
narratives of the patriarchs from Noah to Joseph pave the way for
the salvation history that continues in Exodus.
In this long-awaited sequel to Christ in the Psalms, popular pastor
and scholar, Patrick Henry Reardon, once again applies his keen
intellect to a topic he loves most dearly. Here he examines the
lives of almost one hundred and fifty saints and heroes from the
Scriptures, everyone from Abigail to Zephaniah, Adam to St. John
the Theologian. This well-researched work is a veritable cornucopia
of Bible personalities: Old Testament Saints, New Testament Saints,
"Repentant Saints," "Zealous saints," "Saints under pressure" . . .
they're all here, and their stories are both fascinating and
uplifting.But Christ in His Saints is far more than just a biblical
"who's who." These men and women represent that ancient family into
which, by baptism, all believers have been incorporated. Together
they compose that great "cloud of witnesses" cheering us on and
inspiring us through word and deed.
