What Christians Believe
$9.95
Today, more than a quarter of Americans claim no religious affiliation at all. Religious belief in general, and Christianity in particular, is increasingly regarded as mythical and unreasonable–the superstitious product of prescientific minds.
But what do thoughtful Christians actually believe?
In this short book, renowned preacher, teacher, and theologian Bishop Robert Barron invites skeptics, seekers, and lifelong Christians alike to consider this question through one of Christianity’s most pivotal texts: the Nicene Creed, an ancient statement of faith that has guided Christian thought for 1700 years and is still accepted by Christians around the world today. With philosophical and theological acumen, Bishop Barron walks through the Creed line by line, explaining its teachings on the mystery of the Trinity, the saving mission of Jesus Christ, and both the life of the Church below and the life of the world to come.
Drawing on Sacred Scripture, Church teaching, and the richness of the Catholic intellectual tradition, What Christians Believe unfolds the essentials of the Christian faith with conviction and clarity.

Jesus And The Jewish Roots Of The Virgin Mary
$24.95Add to cartThe bestselling author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist casts new light on the Virgin Mary showing that she is an icon for women and men to emulate in contemporary society.
Are Catholic teachings on Mary really biblical? Or are they just traditions made up by old white men? Is she truly the “Mother of God” or just the mother of Jesus? Did she actually remain a virgin her whole life or do the “brothers of Jesus” refer to her other children? By praying to Mary, are Catholics “worshiping” her? And why are these points of doctrine relevant to securing a proper understanding of Jesus Christ?
Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Virgin Mary, Dr. Pitre will take readers step by step through Sacred Scripture from the Garden of Eden to the Book of Revelation and show just how amazingly Biblical the Catholic Church’s teaching on Mary really is. Dr. Pitre will use the Old Testament and Ancient Judaism to unlock how the Bible itself teaches that Mary is nothing less than the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, the New Eve, and the New Ark of the Covenant.
