The Life of Christ in Scripture and Tradition
The Life of Christ in Scripture and Tradition Author:Matthew Arnold How well do you and your family know the story of the Gospels? How do the four different accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all fit together? How can you better understand the message and meaning of the events in the Life of Our Lord? In the incomparable "Imitation of Christ," Thomas a' Kempis writes, "Holy Scripture ought to be read with... more » that spirit with which it was made If thou wilt receive profit, read with humility, simplicity and faith." It is in that same spirit that St. Joseph Communications presents, The Life of Christ in Scripture and Tradition. Modern Technology, Traditional Values Following the example of our Fathers in faith, St. Joseph Communications has drawn from the pages of the traditional English translation of the Holy Scriptures, the writings of the Saints and Doctors of the Church, and the popular "Bible Histories" of generations past to produce an unabashedly Catholic presentation of the Gospel message. In The Life of Christ in Scripture and Tradition, the accounts of the Four Evangelists, have been "harmonized" and augmented with brief commentaries from the Tradition of the Church into a single, cohesive and chronological narrative. Digitally recorded and mastered on two CDs or cassettes, The Life of Christ in Scripture and Tradition also features professional narration, lush orchestral music and inspiring Gregorian chant to enhance your listening experience. Old Wine in New Bottles In this edifying and entertaining production, prominent episodes from the life of Our Savior are faithfully presented and accompanied by direct quotes from the Holy Scriptures in a manner refreshingly free of Modernism, "inclusive" language, and "politically correct" interpretations. In this presentation, you will rediscover many powerful and profound traditional Bible passages like: "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." "Could you not watch one hour with me?" "Thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." "Lazarus, come forth." And many, many more! Also included are many quotes from the Old Testament as well. It has often been said of Scripture that, "The New is in the Old concealed; the Old is in the New revealed." Following this essential Catholic principle of understanding the relationship between the Testaments, this enlightening presentation begins most episodes of Our Lord's life with a quote from the Old Testament that shows how Christ's Life and Mission fulfilled the many Scriptural prophesies of the coming Savior. Crucial Cornerstone The Saints and Doctors of the Church have always commended meditating on the life of Our Lord as the starting point of that mental prayer which will enable us to better know, love and serve God. Here at last is an easy way to meditate on the Life of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the midst of our hectic world, at home, in the office, or even in the car. For generations of Catholics, this kind of "Bible History" was the crucial cornerstone of a traditional Catholic education. Now, in this presentation you'll rediscover the Traditional view of the Gospel sadly missing from many Catholic materials today. Suitable for the whole family, The Life of Christ in Scripture and Tradition is perfect for homeschoolers, confirmation students, RCIA candidates and any one who wants to experience (or rediscover) the Traditional Catholic understanding of the Gospel.
