The Clergy Club

Author: John Crothers
Publisher: ATF Press
ISBN: 1925643891
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221

Book Description
The Clergy Club as the title suggests, looks at the disconnection that exists between the clergy and the laity in the Catholic Church, and the "club" mentality on the part of the Church hierarchy that underpins it. Many examples are cited that reveal an attitude among priests and bishops of elitism and aloofness, as well as the clergy's inability to see the world from the perspective of the laity, even with the best of intentions. Many questions are asked, such as "Where does this "club" attitude come from? How does it express itself? How is it reinforced by Church structures and theology? What was Jesus' approach to both clergy and laity? Why is Pope Francis so vehement in his criticism of clericalism? Some practical initiatives are also suggested as a way of bringing about change in the clerical culture, a change that would help to rid the Church of clericalism, and in the process bring the clergy and laity closer together.

Power and Glory Unveiled in Mark’S Gospel

Author: Raymond J. Zeman
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499007817
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 410

Book Description
Mark's Gospel is the briefest of the four gospels, but is frequently more vivid and detailed than the parallel accounts in Matthew and Luke. Written principally for the Roman world, this Gospel presents Christ as the Servant of the Lord, emphasizing the Passion of Jesus, sent to minister and to give his life a ransom for many. It is a book of deeds and contains short discourses and few parables. Christ fulfills Messianic prophecies as found in Isaiah 42:1-21; 49:1-8; 50:4-11; 52:13-15; 53:1-12, and Zechariah 3:8-10. Christs ministry of miracles, fellowship with sinners, selection of disciples, and teaching of the multitudes revolve around self-giving love being climaxed at the Cross followed by His glorious Resurrection. Although Christ is depicted in the Gospel of Mark as a servant, the strong emphasis upon His miracles and His mission unveils His Power and Glory.

Book Description
Jesus said to them, "Come after me." Mark 1: 17 The Gospel of Mark may be the briefest of the four Gospels, but it is the richest in detail, giving us descriptions of miracles and events in the life of Jesus found nowhere else in the Bible. In common sense language and easy-to-understand concepts, gifted Catholic writer George Martin brings Mark's words to life, focusing on its meaning in the time of its writing, as well as how this Gospel is meaningful for our lives today. Whether you practice prayerful reading (lectio divina), prepare homilies, lead or participate in Bible study groups, are a Scripture teacher or seminarian, you will find George Martin to be an enlightening and accessible guide to Mark's Gospel. "George Martin's expositions of the Gospels are written with admirable clarity. They interpret each Gospel in its first-century context, convey the best insights of modern scholars, and challenge readers to apply the text to their own lives." -- Daniel Harrington, S.J., Boston College School of Theology and Ministry
