Story
In Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary, Dr. Pitre takes listeners step-by-step from the Garden of Eden to the Book of Revelation to reveal how deeply biblical Catholic beliefs about Mary really are. Dr. Pitre uses the Old Testament and ancient Judaism to unlock how the Bible itself teaches that Mary is in fact the new Eve, the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, and the new Ark of the Covenant.

Story
Most Christians are familiar with the Apostle Paul's teaching that Christ is the "Bridegroom" and the Church is the "Bride." But what does this really mean? And what would ever possess Paul to compare the death of Christ to the love of a husband for his wife? If you would have been at the Crucifixion, with Jesus hanging there dying, is that how you would have described it? How could a first-century Jew like Paul, who knew how brutal Roman crucifixions were, have ever compared the execution of Jesus to a wedding?

Over the past hundred years, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were originally anonymous and filled with contradictions. In The Case for Jesus, Brant Pitre taps in to the wells of Christian scripture, history, and tradition to ask and answer a number of different questions, including: If we don't know who wrote the Gospels, how can we trust them? How are the four Gospels different from other Gospels, such as the lost Gospel of "Q" and the Gospel of Thomas?

The path of following Jesus is an ancient and storied spiritual tradition. Yet many believers are not familiar with the three major forms of prayer and the three stages of spiritual growth that exist to bring them closer to God. In his most personal book yet, Brant Pitre, PhD, draws on the riches of the Bible, the words of Jesus, and the writings of mystics across the centuries to shed light on the mystery - and wonder - of the spiritual life.

Story
As Catholics, we believe in the resurrection of the body. We profess it in our creed. We're taught that to bury and pray for the dead are corporal and spiritual works of mercy. We honor the dead in our Liturgy through the rite of Christian burial. We do all of this, and more, because when Jesus Christ took on flesh for the salvation of our souls he also bestowed great dignity on our bodies. In Hope to Die: The Christian Meaning of Death and the Resurrection of the Body, Scott Hahn explores the significance of death and burial from a Catholic perspective.

Long before the New Testament was a document, it was a sacrament. Jesus called the Eucharist by the name Christians subsequently gave to the latter books of the Holy Bible. It was the "New Covenant," the "New Testament," in his blood. Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could be read at Mass.

Angels and saints. Catholics tend to think of them as different from the rest of us. They're cast in plaster or simpering on a holy card, performing miracles with superhero strength, or playing a harp in highest heaven.
Yet they are very near to us in every way. In this lively audiobook, Scott Hahn dispels the false notions and urban legends people use to keep the saints at a safe distance. The truth is that Jesus Christ has united heaven and earth in a close communion. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Dr. Hahn shows that the hosts of heaven surround the earthly Church as a "great cloud of witnesses".

My title explains itself. But it's misleading. There are more than 40 reasons. Each of my reasons is an independent point, so I have not organized this book by a succession of chapters or headings. After all, most people only remember a few big ideas or separate points after reading or listening to a book. I've never heard anyone say "Oh, that was a good continuous-process-of-logically-ordered-argumentation" but I've often heard people say, "Oh, that was a good point." And back to my main point: "Why are you a Catholic?" is a good question. A good question deserves a good answer.

In Reasons to Believe, Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith - drawing from Scripture, his own struggles, and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science. Hahn shows that reason and revelation, as well as nature and the supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather, they offer complementary evidence that God exists. He is someone, and He has a personality, a personal style, that is discernable and knowable.

Bergsma reveals how this Jewish sect directly influenced the beliefs, sacraments, and practices of early Christianity and offers new information on how Christians lived their lives, worshiped, and eventually went on to influence the Roman Empire and Western civilization.

Publisher's Summary
In recent years, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith. Every year at Easter time, many believers now celebrate Passover meals (known as Seders) seeking to understand exactly what happened at Jesus' final Passover, the night before he was crucified. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as:
- What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah?
- What was Jesus' purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover?
- And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, "This is my body...This is my blood"?
Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus' presence in "the breaking of the bread".

Wow you're missing out
The author himself says "these are not exigetical novelties". Meaning these have been teachings since the beginning of the church of Christ. They're beautiful and stir a fire in your belly. And it's so sad that Protestant teachers don't even get close. I mean, not close at all.

I am a Protestant trying to learn more about the significance of the Eucharist and I feel that my eyes have been opened up ..
by this revelatory approach of going to the Jewish roots to explain the context and many layers of the Eucharist. Why did the Reformation leave this essential gift out of our theology? This makes so much more sense than tossing the real presence of Christ out as an arbitrary symbolic
Gesture. Thank you for clearly explaining this often neglected but very important request from Jesus himself and linking it to everlasting life!

Amazing yet again from Brant Pitre
What I love so much about this Scripture scholar is the sense of discovery within the typologies he references using Scripture and the early Church fathers. Just amazing. Brant teases out the real meanings of the Bible verses and their more obscure references to today's cultural self-centeredness by bringing out the traditional Jewish and ancient Christian understanding that is both old and new to readers. This is another keeper.

A masterpiece!!
As a Protestant entering into the Catholic faith, this book really hit home and my eyes have been opened to the beauty of the Eucharist and the beauty of the Church. During mass the other day, I was overwhelmed with the presence of Jesus knowing that he's with us fully in the Eucharist and with us in our daily lives. I was brought up with the idea that it was all symbolism but thankfully Jesus had a plan of real salvation! 5 stars!

As a Protestant completely new to the catholic view of the Eucharist I found this book very helpful. The author takes a difficult subject and makes it accessible seemingly without sacrificing the complexity. Whether or not one accepts the arguments made - which are all historical - one is very much deepened by this study. Highly recommend.

For Catholics Only?
This was very interesting and informative. Geared more towards Catholics than the rest of us as Christians. The use of the Catholic Bible, excludes us from fully understanding all of the points made (& even the shared Gospel texts are different).
I learned with interest the take on the Passover meal - 4 wines - and the cup discussed in the Garden of Gethsemane. I found that very interesting and innovative. However I couldn’t fully embrace the concluding chapter and of course the reference to the CCC. But that is to be expected, as I am not a Catholic and found myself reacting as the Baptist Minister in the prologue, although I am equally not a Baptist, either.
I would encourage every Christian to listen to this. There are aspects of the book that appear theologically sound, that bound the Passover and the Lord’s supper together, whilst not answering (for me), why the Catholic Church advocates the taking of Mass 3 times a day - given the weight of symbolism!

Excellent framing of New Testament
Listening to this book was wonderful. I listened to it on my way to appointments, on the bus, the tube/metro and even while going through my morning routine. I will repeat listening to it several times as there was so much information about contextualising the Eucharist in the light of Jewish tradition, which as a Catholic I had never been aware of. The continuities between the Jewish tradition and the Eucharist are actually beautiful and masterful, and we can see God’s design in everything. This knowledge brought me even closer to understanding Jesus and the mass. Highly recommend this. I think I will also buy the book so I can view all the references.

Brilliant biblical foundations for the Eucharist
a wonderful biblical description of the Catholic doctrine of the mass and Holy Eucharist. In particular the author demonstrates the ancient Jewish bread miracles and how they foreshadow the Catholic doctrine of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. He also explains how Jewish liturgy, in particular the Passover liturgy, are constant signposts that point to the Christian liturgy as the New Covenant Passover where God's people receive the miraculous Bread of Life which, biblically, is not the real absence of Christ, but the real presence of Christ.

An absolute treasure
This book is an absolute treasure. As one who spent 45 years identifying as a Protestant it was only in 2018 that I converted to the Catholic faith. As a Protestant ‘communion’ was little more than a symbolic act. In fact over the years I witnessed it go from a weekly occurrence during the church service to monthly. Towards the end of my time in a charismatic church the wine became orange juice served in a sealed container and the bread was no more than a dry cracker in the same plastic container. It was a hurried event squeezed in between the worship and the weekly news. It had little meaning for me, or I imagine, the majority of the congregation.
After nine months of RCIA I had a slightly better understanding of the Eucharist but there was still something not quite right. I had read many stories of the Saints and how much of their strength came from the Eucharist. I wanted what they had! So I prayed and asked God to show me the Eucharist as he sees it. He led me to this book and to be honest I feel overwhelmed, not with frustration but with pure love and thankfulness. I need to listen to it again and then probably again and again because there are so many facets to this book. It is like a diamond. A true gem.

EXCELLENT; MAGNIFICENT. Dr. Brant did a most awesome job. Thank you very much Dr. Brant for the effort in writing this most enlightening book. Words cannot express my extreme appreciation. Anyone seeking an in-depth understanding of the Jewish roots of the most Holy Eucharist, this book is a must read/listen to book. And the person who did the reading of the book; a job very well done. Thanks to all. God Bless to all and families.

Catholicism at its best!
This book is filled with facts, scripture references, and draws on ancient writings to present the most complete understanding of the Holy Eucharistic. It is great for anyone interested in defending their catholic faith and the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist
