Book Description
Excerpt from Roman Catholic and Protestant Bibles Compared: The Gould Prize Essays The outstanding result of this contest will probably be to bring into bold relief the great difference between, and the otherwise practical unity of, the Roman Catholic and the Protestant Bibles. The great difference between the versions is the presence in the Roman Catholic Bible of the Apocrypha. The collection of books so named is rejected by Protestants as uncanonical. The American Revised Version does not even allude to the existence of the Apocrypha. Compared with this difference between the two versions all other differences are insignificant. Whatever may be the merits or the defects of expression in either, and however important may be the correction of textual errors by devout and enlightened scholarship, both versions contain the same and the complete message of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger
Author: Gary MichutaPublisher: Catholic Answers Press
ISBN: 9781683570516
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
Some differences between Catholicism and Protestantism can be tricky to grasp, but one of them just requires the ability to count: Catholic bibles have seventy-three books, whereas Protestant bibles have sixty-sis - plus an appendix with the strange title Apocrypha. What's the story here? Protestants claim that the medieval Catholic Church added six extra books that had never been considered part of the Old Testament, either by Jews or early Christians. Catholics say that the Protestant Reformers removed those books, long considered part of Sacred Scripture, because they didn't like what they contained. In Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger, Gary Michuta presents a revised and expanded version of his authoritative work on this key issue. Combing the historical record from pre-Christian times to the Patristic era to the Reformation and its aftermath, he traces the canon controversy through the writings and actions of its major players.

How God Works
Author: David DeStenoPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982142332
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
Drawing on a wealth of new evidence, pioneering research psychologist David DeSteno shows why religious practices and rituals are so beneficial to those who follow them—and to anyone, regardless of their faith (or lack thereof). Scientists are beginning to discover what believers have known for a long time: the rewards that a religious life can provide. For millennia, people have turned to priests, rabbis, imams, shamans, and others to help them deal with issues of grief and loss, birth and death, morality and meaning. In this absorbing work, DeSteno reveals how numerous religious practices from around the world improve emotional and physical well-being. With empathy and rigor, DeSteno chronicles religious rites and traditions from cradle to grave. He explains how the Japanese rituals surrounding childbirth help strengthen parental bonds with children. He describes how the Apache Sunrise Ceremony makes teenage girls better able to face the rigors of womanhood. He shows how Buddhist meditation reduces hostility and increases compassion. He demonstrates how the Jewish practice of sitting shiva comforts the bereaved. And much more. DeSteno details how belief itself enhances physical and mental health. But you don’t need to be religious to benefit from the trove of wisdom that religion has to offer. Many items in religion’s “toolbox” can help the body and mind whether or not one believes. How God Works offers advice on how to incorporate many of these practices to help all of us live more meaningful, successful, and satisfying lives.

When God Spoke Greek
Author: Timothy Michael LawPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0199781729
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Most readers do not know about the Bible used almost universally by early Christians, or about how that Bible was birthed, how it grew to prominence, and how it differs from the one used as the basis for most modern translations. Although it was one of the most important events in the history of our civilization, the translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek in the third century BCE is an event almost unknown outside of academia. Timothy Michael Law offers the first book to make this topic accessible to a wider audience. Retrospectively, we can hardly imagine the history of Christian thought, and the history of Christianity itself, without the Old Testament. When the Emperor Constantine adopted the Christian faith, his fusion of the Church and the State ensured that the Christian worldview (which by this time had absorbed Jewish ideals that had come to them through the Greek translation) would leave an imprint on subsequent history. This book narrates in a fresh and exciting way the story of the Septuagint, the Greek Scriptures of the ancient Jewish Diaspora that became the first Christian Old Testament.
