Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: None of the Fathers of the early church is better known or loved than St John Chrysostom, and none of his works is more popular than On the Priesthood. Its stylistic brilliance demonstrates the appropriateness of St John's enduring title, "the golden-mouthed." Yet the rhetorical eloquence of the work is not simply camouflage for lack of substance. As Graham Neville observes in his Introduction, Chrysostom "had a mind both practical and idealistic, that brought into close connection the evils and injustices of the world and the perfection of moral life demanded by the gospel." Chrysostom's unique gift for linking concrete observation and theological vision is nowhere more evident than in On the Priesthood. Its presence helps to account for the work's power to inspire and challenge Christians in all ages. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: Far-reaching changes continue to take place in the American priesthood. Building on insights gained from four previous surveys, Same Call, Different Men uses fresh data from a 2009 survey-jointly implemented by the National Federation of Priest's Councils and the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate-in which 900 priests shared attitudes and stories about their lives and ministry. Among topics covered are the challenges of ministry with fewer ordinations and larger parishes, ministering to an increasingly multicultural laity, collaboration with lay leaders, and personal reflections on the sexual abuse issue. It also relates the many satisfactions of being a priest, one who brings Christ to others and who is invited into many profound moments of individual lives.

Book excerpt: “Monsignor Franco is known as an engaging storyteller of his impactful time in the Church. Read this book and you will see why.” — Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archdiocese of New York Six Popes: A Son of the Church Remembers is Monsignor Hilary C. Franco’s engaging memoir and a story only a son can tell, a son not only of the Catholic Church, but also of Italian immigrants. From Belmont, his Bronx neighborhood, Franco rose to work with the highest and most influential figures of the Roman Catholic Church. As a young man he attended Rome’s premier seminary, soon after becoming the special assistant to Archbishop Fulton Sheen. As a priest he would travel the world, and he recounts a harrowing experience in the Deep South in the early 1960s, his work at the Vatican Councils that redefined the Church, and his time posted at the Church’s diplomatic missions in Washington, D.C., and the United Nations. This most formidable churchman reveals his tales of intellectual, pastoral, and diplomatic service to the Catholic Church, enlivened by recollections of the fascinating people he came to know from U.S. presidents and foreign heads of state, to religious leaders like Padre Pio and Saint Mother Teresa. The title of his current role, Advisor at the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations, gives little hint of the drama of the times he recollects. Stories of this book’s six pontiffs that Franco served under — John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis — offer landmarks along Franco’s trek through the corridors of spiritual power in New York, Washington, D.C., and Rome. Six Popes: A Son of the Church Remembers is written from a unique eyewitness vantage on many of the events and movements that shaped our world and the Catholic Church. There is really no other book like it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On the Priesthood: A Treatise in Six Books" by Saint John Chrysostom, translated by Rev. Patrick Boyle, C.M., is a seminal work that delves into the profound spiritual and theological dimensions of the priestly vocation. Written by one of the early Church Fathers, this treatise offers an in-depth exploration of the responsibilities, challenges, and spiritual requirements of the priesthood. The treatise is divided into six books, each addressing different aspects of the priestly office. Saint John Chrysostom, renowned for his eloquence and deep theological insights, begins by discussing the divine nature and immense responsibility of the priesthood. He emphasizes the sacred role of the priest as a mediator between God and humanity, tasked with administering the sacraments, preaching the Gospel, and guiding the faithful. Chrysostom then examines the personal qualities necessary for those who aspire to the priesthood. He underscores the importance of moral integrity, deep spiritual life, and unwavering commitment to the pastoral mission. The treatise highlights the virtues of humility, patience, and self-sacrifice as essential traits for a priest, drawing on scriptural examples and personal reflections. A significant portion of the work is dedicated to the challenges and temptations that priests face. Chrysostom offers practical advice on how to overcome these difficulties through prayer, study, and reliance on God's grace. He also discusses the dangers of pride, ambition, and worldly distractions, urging priests to maintain their focus on their spiritual duties and the well-being of their congregations. The treatise also addresses the theological foundation of the priesthood, exploring its biblical roots and ecclesiastical traditions. Chrysostom articulates a vision of the priesthood that is deeply rooted in the life and teachings of Christ, emphasizing the continuity between the apostolic ministry and the contemporary priestly office. Throughout the six books, Chrysostom's profound respect and reverence for the priesthood are evident. He views the priestly vocation as a divine calling that demands a life of holiness and dedication. His writings serve as both an inspiration and a guide for those in the priestly ministry, as well as for those considering this sacred vocation. Rev. Patrick Boyle's translation brings this classic work to a modern audience, preserving the eloquence and depth of Chrysostom's original text. Boyle's translation ensures that contemporary readers can access and appreciate the timeless wisdom and spiritual insights offered by one of the Church's greatest preachers. In summary, "On the Priesthood: A Treatise in Six Books" by Saint John Chrysostom, translated by Rev. Patrick Boyle, C.M., is a comprehensive and deeply spiritual examination of the priestly vocation. It provides valuable guidance and inspiration for priests and seminarians, as well as offering profound theological insights for all Christians interested in understanding the nature and significance of the priesthood.

Book excerpt: "In God's dispensation and economy, the leading ministry is the priesthood. In this universe God has an administration, a divine economy. His economy is the way He arranges or dispenses. Therefore, it is a kind of dispensation. According to the Bible there are three main ministries in God's divine dispensation: the priesthood, the kingship, and the prophethood. The priesthood is the leading ministry of the three and brings the kingship and prophethood into function. In other words, both the kingship and the prophethood depend upon the leading ministry of the priesthood."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Biblical Theology of the Royal Priesthood from Genesis to Revelation "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." —1 Peter 2:9 From Genesis to Revelation, the theme of the royal priesthood is a silver thread running through the biblical story from the garden of Eden through the priesthood of Israel to Jesus Christ—the true and better priest. It culminates with the creation of God's covenant people, called out of the nations to be his priests to the nations. In this concise treatment, David Schrock traces this theme of priesthood throughout the Bible and displays to readers how Jesus, the great high priest, informs the worship, discipleship, and evangelism of the church. Short and Accessible: Traces the theme of priesthood from Genesis to Revelation and gives practical application for the church today Written for Laypeople and Church Leaders: Excellent for students, Bible studies, small groups, and leaders of all levels Part of the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series
