Auch durch viele Glaubensgespräche stießen sie auf neue Argumente für die katholische Lehre. Sie schrieben im Vorwort der amerikanischen Ausgabe: «Als wir anfingen, Rome Sweet Home - so der amerikanische Titel - zu schreiben, hatten wir keine Ahnung, wie...

Angels and saints. Catholics tend to think of them as "different" from the rest of us. They re cast in plaster or simpering on a holy card, performing miracles with superhero strength, or playing a harp in highest heaven. Yet they are very near to us in every way. In this lively book, Scott Hahn dispels the false notions and urban legends people use to keep the saints at a safe distance. The truth is that Jesus Christ has united heaven and earth in a close communion. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Dr. Hahn shows that the hosts of heaven surround the earthly Church as a "great cloud of...

From the bestselling author of The Lamb's Supper and Signs of Life comes an illuminating work that unlocks the many mysteries of the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist. Long before the New Testament was a document, it was a sacrament. Jesus called the Eucharist by the name Christians subsequently gave to the latter books of the Holy Bible. It was the "New Covenant," the "New Testament," in his blood. Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could be read at Mass....
