Scripture, Faith and You: A Biblical Study of 1 Corinthians by Tim StaplesIn this new eight-tape series, Scripture, Faith & You: A Biblical Study of First Corinthians, you will be given a chapter-by-chapter explanation of one of the most important books in all of Sacred Scripture. At the time of St. Paul, Corinth was one of the most important commercial centers of its day. As a port city, it was also notorious for every kind of wickedness and vice. First Corinthians shows how difficult it must have been to live as a faithful believer in the midst of such a pagan world. This Pauline epistle, probably written in Ephesus sometime in the early 50's A.D., during St. Paul's third missionary journey, highlights the intense problems of the local Church in fatherly heart to instruct his spiritual children concerning fundamental Christian beliefs, morals and manners. Using his full apostolic authority, he addresses them with tenderness, clarity, and at times, strict firmness. Like Paul’s other letters, First Corinthians certainly dealt with many of the daily concerns facing new Christians. The message of this famous epistle, like that of the rest of his correspondence, is as fitting for us today as for the Christians in the first century. In fact, Tim states that this Biblical book could be referred to the "Epistle to the Americans" because of its relevance for the people of the United States today. And, St. Paul hardly ever solves a particular problem plaguing believers without referring to the most basic and enduring principles of the Christian Faith. That is why its message is truly universal to all times, cultures, and places.
Let this inspiring set teach you not only how to save your own soul but also how to be God’s instrument for the salvation of others. Learn from the enduring wisdom of St. Paul: "Be awake to all dangers; stay firm in faith; be brave and be strong" (1 Cor 16:13). This series will provide the practical advice and necessary principles to show you how! (8 tapes), $34.50
Thy Kingdom Come: A Study on Matthew, the Gospel of the Church by Dr. Scott Hahn is the product of two plus decades of research and three trips to the Israel. Matthew's gospel was written as an
apologetic to demonstrate to his fellow Jews that the teaching of Jesus is an outgrowth of their own beloved faith. Scott shows that Matthew's emphasis on the Kingdom of Heaven is inseparably linked to the Church which Jesus founded. His emphasis on the Davidic kingdom, not only demonstrates for his Jewish-Christian audience the identity of the true Messiah, but also the restoration of the Davidic kingdom as God promised in the old covenants, in the New Covenant Church. This study of Matthew is rich with answers to questions like, why is Matthew called "the Gospel of Peter" and the "Gospel of the Church," even by many Protestant scholars or how is Jesus rightly called "the new Moses" It provides insights on the central theme of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, which begins with the Beatitudes and includes the Lord's prayer and the golden rule and ends with the parable about the house built on rock versus the one built on sand. Is this the impossible ideal that Martin Luther thought it was or is the injunction "You shall be holy, for I am holy" (1 Pet 1:15) meant to apply to Christians today? Learn how Jesus
predicted the end of the Old Covenant age and the end of the world in the 24th chapter of the Gospel and leave this study with an increased faith and hope in the instruments He provided for our salvation. Sale price is $39.95
Mission of the Messiah by Tim Gray. A compelling new six tape study of the Gospel of Luke that makes the parables of Jesus come alive with meaning. Tim presents the Messianic mission of Jesus in the light of Old Testament prophecy. Tim, a professor at Christendom College, who has an upcoming series on EWTN television and is a popular speaker at Scott Hahn's Applied Biblical Institute, has researched the period extensively and presents the background on such key points as the proclamation of a jubilee year by Jesus on the occasion of his first sermon, which is often overlooked. Traditionally the jubilee could only be proclaimed by king every 50 years and provided release of slaves, debt and land. This jubilee insight becomes a bridge to understanding the parables and actions of Jesus. Most important, his insight on Luke's gospel creates a burning love of Christ in our hearts. This Bible study comes with Tim's book of the same title, which makes a perfect companion for this study.

The End: A Study of the Book of Revelation by A Bible study on the Book of Revelation, in which Dr. Scott Hahn brings his covenantal-historical approach and theological insight to a riveting eleven hour audio tape series. Scott examines the Pretorist, Historist, Futurist and Idealist views of Revelation and finds value in all, but argues that their is ample evidence that the book is primarily prophecy fulfilled in the first century. This does not, however, preclude future fulfillments that are even greater. Scott examines the views of the early Church Fathers and finds they mainly held an Idealist point of view. This view contends that Revelation is basically a description of the ongoing spiritual struggle faced by every believer in their life and by the Church in every generation. The struggle takes place both on earth and in heaven and involves the world, the flesh and the devil and engages the angels, archangels, principalities and powers, etc. Scott views prophecy as the typological
(Christ-centered study of types in the Old Testament fulfilled in the New
Testament) interpretation of history, which cannot be understood except in terms of the Old Testament background and especially, the Covenant between God and man.
Learn why the overriding significance of the number seven in Revelation relates to the Covenant. The symbolism of the numbers used is explained on the basis of similar uses in Old Testament prophecy. The fascinating and enlightening parallels between the Book of Ezekiel and that of Revelation are explored. Thus, Scott shows that Revelation focuses on the transition from the Old Covenant to the New, with the initial fulfillment of Revelation coming in the first century. These prophecies point forward to the time when the Old Covenant order will cease, when the whole of creation, the old heavens and the old earth, will give way to the new heavens and the new earth at the Second Coming of Christ. This leads Scott into an examination of the Rapture concept, which he shows to be a relatively new and misleading theological interpretation. Scott also argues how Catholic the book of Revelation is, calling attention to the its liturgical character, the perpetuity of Christ's paschal sacrifice, the central importance of the Church as the goal of history, to the family of God, and the queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which he explores in an analysis that draws on the Old Testament heavily and upon the work of many scholars. This series is so full of insight and depth that it does not fail to answer many of the questions about this important, but cryptic, Book of Holy Scripture. This vital Bible study is sale priced at

The Gospel of John
by Dr. Scott Hahn is a superb 15 hour Bible study on the Fourth Gospel
by Scott Hahn, a former Protestant seminary professor and currently a professor at Franciscan University.
Scott takes you through the Gospel of love, verse by verse. He gives the background on how verses are viewed differently by Catholics and Protestants and shows how John's Gospel can be termed the "Gospel of Sonship." Beginning with the beautiful Prologue and walking through the life of our Lord to His Resurrection,
Scott's commentary and insights will bring the most theologically sophisticated of the Gospels into focus for you.
If a person can truly understand what is being said in the Gospel of John, he or she has a firmer grasp of the loving Christian message of life. Scott discusses the concept of the First Born in Hebrew society, the role of John the Baptist, why the early Church Fathers believe the wedding feast at Cana was so significant, the meaning of the cleansing the Temple, and why Christ answered Nicodemus in the way He did. He also brings insight to the role "signs" play in this Gospel, how Jesus curing on the Sabbath reveals the work of the Son, the eucharistic meaning of the multiplication of the loaves, why Christ is the Light of the World, the Truth, the Way and the Good Shepherd. He also discusses why Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, the significance of Jesus' washing the feet of the disciples, why Christ died and what Jesus meant when he said,
"This is my body" or It is Finished." Our Value sale price for this important Bible study is
