DOWNLOAD EBOOKNew York Times Bestseller! From the man who became Pope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergoglio shares his thoughts on religion, reason, and the challenges the world faces in the 21st century with Abraham Skorka, a rabbi and biophysicist. For years Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Argentina, and Rabbi Abraham Skorka were tenacious promoters of interreligious dialogues on faith and reason. They both sought to build bridges among Catholicism, Judaism, and the world at large. On Heaven and Earth, originally published in Argentina in 2010, brings together a series of these conversations where both men talked about various theological and worldly issues, including God, fundamentalism, atheism, abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and globalization. From these personal and accessible talks comes a first-hand view of the man who would become pope to 1.2 billion Catholics around the world in March 2013.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe world's major religions-Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-find a common root in one man: Abraham. Yet Abraham looms so large in the realm of world religions that he has remained a ward of the Divine rather than a flesh-and-blood citizen of Humanity. In his monumental new book, David Rosenberg provides a long-overdue history of the patriarch; while revealing that the original story embedded in the Bible is actually our oldest historical biography. We also discover that the wandering ascetic of tradition cannot explain our deep-seated feelings for Abraham and his God. The road that Abraham traveled was marked by signs of civilization that we still recognize: libraries, museums, hotels, and houses of worship. He is a sophisticated, educated Sumerian; an artisan who became the first Jew. Moreover, through Rosenberg's audacious translation of the Abraham story from Genesis, we learn that many of the core tenets of the monotheistic tradition-the idea of God's covenant and the soul-are Sumerian in origin. Rosenberg first finds Abraham at his father's workshop in the cosmopolitan city of ancient Ur and follows his journey through what is today the Middle East. What kind of baggage-emotional, material, and spiritual-would Abraham have taken with him on his migration to a new land? Abraham does more than present a founding spiritual figure and his dynamic relationships with father, wife, and son. We witness this man as he transforms his heritage into an anxious embrace of religion with secular culture-the human condition in which we are still enfolded today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPeace be unto you, dear reader in search of the truth! I would like to offer you an amazing journey into the wonderful biblical world of God's extraordinary friend Abraham in order to learn more about how he was chosen by the Most High God to become the father of all of the faithful. We will not only acquaint ourselves with the famous biblical story of the righteous Abraham, but also reconstruct the events of his life to see Abraham’s personality in all of its fullness, as well as delve deeper into his relationship with God. We will do so in order to better and more accurately understand the course of his life. In addition to Abraham, we will get to know his honored wife Sarah, his nephew Lot, the mysterious king and priest Melchizedek, and a number of other biblical characters. To better prepare us for the upcoming journey, we will take not only the biblical text of the Book of Genesis, but also extracts from the works of holy fathers of the Church of Christ, as well as from the Book of Enoch and the Traditions of the Church. In addition to these sources, I had to turn to the divine revelations that our Lord God graciously deigned to offer me for the writing of this book. Allow me to remind you that Abraham was first called Abram, and his wife was known as Sarai. And so, having prayed to God, let us begin our amazing journey through the life of one of the greatest and most pious people in all of human history - Abraham.
