"Probes: Deep Sea Diving into St. John's Gospel" is a beautiful union of Scripture Study and the prayer experience of Lectio Divina.  I've never seen anything quite like it (and I hope I see more).

How we respond is the key to faith and ou...

The post IP#336 Dr. Pe...

Dr. Peter Kreeft brings forward an important work that is inspired by Christ's high priestly prayer in the Gospel of John "that they may be one," entitled "Catholics And Protestants:  What Can We Learn From Each Other?" Thoughtful, engaging, and paradigm shifting, Dr. Kreeft shows that while there are still significant differences,  we are much closer than we think.  A highly recommended work! The...
