“We are deeply indebted to Scott Hahn for his labor of love of Christ and of his Church, which offers to us the great gift of Holy Is His Name.” —Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke HOLY IS HIS NAME

The Transforming Power of God’s Holiness in Scripture Scott Hahn Catholics are taught to prize holiness—to admire it in others and to strive for it in their own lives. But we’re never quite told what holiness is. In Holy Is His Name: The Transforming Power of God’s Holiness in Scripture, beloved author Scott Hahn seeks to define the term in order to help us better understand our relationship with holiness.

Tracing the meaning of holiness first through the Old Testament and then the New, Hahn masterfully reveals how God gradually transmits his holiness to his people—through creation, right worship, and more—and ultimately transforms them through the sharing of his divine life. ebook

TRUE AND FALSE REFORM

What It Means to Be Catholic Gerhard Cardinal Müller

Reflecting on the themes of faith and reason, sacramental mediation, the practice of the Christian—and, in particular, Catholic—faith, Gerhard Cardinal Müller considers the most central question in human history: Is Jesus the Son of God? In doing so, he shows paths of reform within Christian denominations that lead to a truer expression of the Church’s nature.

NEW from EMMAUS ROAD THE PAPACY

Revisiting the Debate between Catholics and Orthodox Erick Ybarra

NEW

Prior to the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century, history tells of the most egregious division in the Church between the Latin West and Byzantine East in 1054 and following. How can it be that Catholics and Orthodox share one thousand years of ecclesial life together in one faith, sacramental order, and hierarchical government, only to have that bond of communion broken? The Papacy offers a detailed investigation into the most significant points of history to show what was clearly accepted by both East and West in their years of ecclesiastical unity. With clear evidence, the reader will be left to decide whether contemporary Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy has maintained the heritage of the first millennium on the understanding of the papal office.

SEXUAL IDENTITY

NEW

The Harmony of Philosophy, Science, and Revelation Edited by John D. Finley, PhD Have “man” and “woman” become meaningless categories?

Many intuitively resist such a view but feel unable to respond in light of “woke” rhetoric from mediadriven voices carrying the apparent blessings of science. Sexual Identity takes up anew the questions “What is a man?” and “What is a woman?”

Sexual Identity is co-authored by experts from different fields: philosophy, obstetrics and gynecology, endocrinology, psychology, plastic surgery, and theology. The authors include recognized practitioners in their fields who have spoken nationally and internationally to audiences concerned with today’s crisis over the meaning of sexuality. This timely collection offers a comprehensive vision of the human sexual identity, male and female, that does not bend to politics or polemics but is firmly rooted in objective reality.

THE OBSCURITY OF SCRIPTURE

NEW

Disputing Sola Scriptura and the Protestant Notion of Biblical Perspicuity Casey Chalk

Protestantism holds that the Bible is so clear that any Christian, relying on the Holy Spirit, will be able to determine what is necessary for salvation.

Over the ensuing centuries, thousands of different Protestant communities formed competing— if not contradictory—understandings of what constituted essential, Bible-based Christianity. This book catalogues and analyzes the dimensions of perspicuity and prescribes a return to a more ancient understanding of Holy Scripture, one held by the earliest generations of Christians and communicated now through the magisterium of the Catholic Church.

The Bible and the Sacraments is unlike any other study on the sacraments. Certainly it looks at the basic teaching of the Church as to their meaning and origin. But it goes further, investigating the deeper mystery of the sacraments as illuminated by Sacred Scripture. The sacraments are more than mere earthly rituals: they are incredible “‘powers that come forth’ from the Body of Christ” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1116). The goal of The Bible and the Sacraments is to reveal where the sacraments come from, what they mean, and why they are so important and foundational to our Catholic faith.

A CHURCH IN CRISIS

Pathways Forward

NEW

Nearly forty years ago, Ralph Martin’s best-selling A Crisis of Truth exposed the damaging trends in Catholic teaching and preaching that, combined with attacks from secular society, threatened the mission and life of the Catholic Church. While much has been done to counter false teaching over the last four decades, today the Church faces even more insidious threats—from outside and within.

In A Church in Crisis: Pathways Forward, Martin offers a detailed look at the growing hostility to the Catholic Church and its teaching. With copious evidence, Martin uncovers the forces working to undermine the Body of Christ and offers hope to those looking for clarity.

AFRICA AND THE EARLY CHURCH

The Almost-Forgotten Roots of Catholic Christianity When we survey the history of the faith, it is undeniable that the lands of northern Africa were profoundly influential in the development of early Christianity.

African Christians made decisive contributions in theology, liturgy, biblical studies, and culture. With the Arab invasions of the seventh and eighth centuries, much of this history was lost to Europe, though the marks of ancient influence remained.

Africa and the Early Church: The Almost-Forgotten Roots of Catholic Christianity uncovers that lost history for interested modern readers in the words of the great figures in antiquity. To acknowledge these Christians and their churches is to complete the historical picture— and to remember what was once common knowledge.

Aquilina shows how, both then and now, Scripture is only understood through the life of the Church—and, in particular, through the liturgy.

If, in the end, everything we have strived for and all our love comes to naught and is simply swallowed up by nothingness, then what was the point of it all?
