Additional Information

Is the true meaning of Catholicism to be found in the papacy, which should establish the framework for the rest of the church? Or does Catholicism exist primarily at the local level, in individual dioceses and parishes, each with their own practices and theologies? Christopher Ruddy uses the thought of Tillard, Congar, and others to offer a revitalized understanding of Church identity and authority. Topics include: The relationship of papal primacy and episcopal collegiality; Inculturation and evangelization; The quest for Christian unity; The ecclesiology of Pope Benedict XVI and its future implications; The centrality of Christology and soteriology to ecclesiology; Baptism and Eucharist; Diverse visions of communion ecclesiology.

Truth is a Synthesis

A Concise Gem on Early Church History

This is a concise and insightful introduction to the early history of the Church, written with clarity and scholarly depth. The author presents key events, figures, and developments from the ancient period in a way that is both accessible and engaging.

It is worth noting that the book arrived in a very robust cardboard packaging and was in pristine condition—kudos to St Pauls India for their excellent service. They continue to be my favourite Christian bookseller!

A Short History of the Church in the Ancient Period

The cross that transforms

A brief yet profound meditation on Christ’s sacrifice not as punishment, but as pure love. With clarity and reverence, he shows how the Cross becomes our path to freedom, healing, and the outpouring of the Spirit. A quiet, powerful invitation to let suffering be transfigured by grace.

Diary : Divine Mercy in My Soul

Truly a pocket edition

The entire catholic bible in a travel friendly (6.5 in x 4.5 in) & hardcover format. Print, paper quality & binding are good. Font is the smallest I have seen but readable. Seniors might need reading glasses.

Bought this edition to use the Bible more often.
