Description
Second Corinthians is often regarded as the most personal of Paul's letters. In this letter, Paul more than once fiercely counters the attacks of his opponents. He extensively describes both the quality and circumstances of his apostolic existence: the sufferings he endures, the opposition he encounters, and his continual care for the churches. Second Corinthians is, therefore, highly significant theologically as well as autobiographically. This letter...

In The Gospel of Mark, Fathers Donahue and Harrington use an approach that can be expressed by two terms currently used in literary criticism: intratextuality and intertextuality. This intratextual and intertextual reading of Mark's Gospel helps us to appreciate the literary character, its setting in life, and its distinctive approaches to the Old Testament, Jesus, and early Christian theology.

Gertrud the Great (1256—1302) entered the monastery of Helfta in eastern Germany as a child oblate. At the age of twenty-five she underwent a conversion that led to a series of visionary experiences. These centered on "the divine loving-kindness," which she perceived as expressed through and symbolized by Christ's divine Heart. Some of these experiences she recorded in Latin "with her own hand," in what became book 2 of The Herald of God's Loving-Kindness.

During the course of his lifetime, he was successively Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey, Bishop of Worcester, Bishop of London and later canonized. This work has long been attributed to the Anglo-Saxon author, Byrhtferth, although historically, it is unlikely to be from his pen. It does grant us a valuable historical source of his life, likely from about a century after...

St. Edmund the Martyr was a Christian martyr and the king of East Anglia in the 9th century. Facts concerning the life of St. Edmund are few and far between, as the kingdom of East Anglia was devastated by the Vikings, who destroyed any contemporary evidence of his reign. A popular cult emerged after Edmund's death, and he was canonised by the Catholic Church sometime in the 10th century. This work, composed by the French monk Abbo, attempts to chronicle...

This work suggests that their was at least some concern for corruption in his bishopric, as many of his answers relate to the question...

"The Christian Detective" was the codename given to a group of retired English detectives in the mid-1930s that wanted to see if they could put forward a convincing case for how Jesus Christ – a man – could also plausibly be God.
