Ancient-Future Bible Study incorporates contemporary study of the
Bible with an experience of the church's most ancient way of
reading Scripture, lectio divina. This time-honored practice
consists of five basic movements: biblical study (lectio),
reflection (meditatio), prayer (oratio), discernment
(contemplatio), and contemplative action (operatio). In six clearly
written volumes, bestselling author Stephen Binz helps readers
study the Bible in a way that leads to spiritual transformation and
brings them closer to God.
Binz leads readers in a vivid study of key biblical characters,
including Abraham, Paul, Peter, David, the women of the Torah, and
the women of the Gospels. He shows all Christians who desire to
have a transforming experience with the inspired Word of God how
studying Scripture through lectio divina can enrich their
discipleship. This ecumenical Bible study, designed for use by
individuals or groups, includes questions for personal reflection
and suggested action. Each volume includes leader's notes for
guiding a study over the course of six sessions.

An appreciation of the feasts of Judaism will help Christians
understand modern Judaism and the faith of Jesus. The biblical
festivals are celebrations of God's saving actions for all
generations. In the Jewish rituals, the past becomes present and
all partake of the saving graces of God's redemption. Here you will
study the pilgrim feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and Booths, the
High Holy Days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, the minor feasts of
the Ninth of Ov, Purim, and Hanukkah, and the Sabbath and Jubilee
Year. Understand the roots of the Christian faith in the faith of
our elder brothers and sisters in Judaism.
Bestselling author and biblical scholar Stephen J. Binz presents
the first book to combine the ancient Western practice of lectio
divina (sacred reading) with the lesser-known Eastern Orthodox
tradition of visio divina (sacred seeing). Binz offers a
life-changing way to pray through twenty gospel readings paired
with beautiful, never-before-published contemporary icons. St.
Benedict urged his followers to listen to God's Word "with the ear
of the heart." Eastern Orthodox spiritual writers focused on gazing
at icons, as St. Paul said, with "the eyes of the heart." Popular
speaker and retreat leader Stephen J. Binz draws on the richness of
both traditions by combining lectio and visio divina. Contemplation
is more difficult than ever during this digital age and Binz offers
a proven and profound way to cut through the noise and pray the
gospels. He walks you through six steps: reading, seeing,
meditating, praying, contemplating, and acting. Binz also provides
simple suggestions for self-reflection that can lead to practical
changes in your everyday life. The book's twenty Bible
passages-starting with the Annunciation and ending with
Pentecost-are paired with full-color icons of each story.
Learn how the power of scripture can renew our lives, AND make us
living witnesses of the Gospel. Inspired and influenced by Pope
John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis.
Open the Bible with newcomers and experienced students alike. Both

study. Stephen Binz offers clear, practical explanations that will
make the Bible more familiar, giving readers a sense of the Bible's
structure, a better understanding of its various themes and writing
styles, and insight into how to interpret the Bible within the
Catholic tradition. This study also provides direction in how to
choose a Bible, how to navigate its contents, and how to get the
most out of Bible study. Commentary, study and reflection
questions, prayers, and access to online lectures are included. 6
lessons.

The exodus is the central event of the Old Testament, giving
meaning to everything else we find in its pages. Part One of this
study takes us through the first fifteen chapters of Exodus-from
slavery to the call of Moses, from plagues to crossing the sea,
from captivity to freedom in the Sinai. Discover that God hears
those who are beaten down and liberates those who are in need of
his justice. 5 lessons.
While every character, story, and book of Scripture is significant
in itself, stepping back for a broad, panoramic view of the entire
Bible helps us to take in and understand God's single, unified plan
for human history. In this second of a two-part panorama of the
Bible, noted Scripture scholar Stephen Binz shows us how all of the
Bible's many parts fit together in a grand and awesome narrative.
With a clear vision of this sweeping unity, we can then understand
far better our own place within the storyline and our own personal
role within the mission of God.

Catholics are often reluctant to begin reading the Bible, this
is for various reasons. Perhaps we hang on to the notion that the
Bible is a book meant for display, for recording the dates of
family members ' births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths. Or
perhaps we once attempted to read the Bible and discovered there a
culture entirely different from ours 'and came to the conclusion
that the Bible had nothing relevant to say to us in this place and
time. Attentive to these and the many other reasons Catholics might
give for not reading Scripture, Stephen Binz offers practical
explanations that will make the Bible less foreign and more
familiar.
"Introduction to the Bible" allows readers to discover how the
Bible came to be, how to choose a Bible translation, how to
interpret the Bible within Catholic tradition, and how to benefit
the most from Bible study. Readers will find practical explanations
that will make the Bible less foreign and more familiar.
"Stephen J. Binz is a Catholic biblical scholar, speaker, and
counselor. He did graduate studies at the Pontifical Biblical
Institute in Rome and is a member of the Catholic Biblical
Association and the Society of Biblical Literature. Binz is the
author of numerous books on the Bible, including "The Passion and
Resurrection Narratives of Jesus "and" The God of Freedom and Life,
"both published by Liturgical Press."
