New! - Sacred Scripture and Spiritual Champions

Highly regarded spiritual writer and theologian, Fr. Aidan Nichols, OP, has just released the beautiful new title Lovely Like Jerusalem that shows the crucial links between the Old & New Testament. And a great new title by the renowned Henri de Lubac on the impressive Scriptural insights of the Church Father, Origen, in his History and Spirit. Plus two powerful, deeply inspiring new DVDs on real spiritual champions - Becket, the acclaimed classic movie on St. Thomas Becket, and the fabulous new sports film about devout Catholic baseball stars, Champions of Faith. All at 15% off!

Becket
Starring Richard Burton, Peter O’Toole, and Sir John Gielgud, this epic film is now in a restored transfer with special features including a commentary track from Peter O’Toole, interviews with cast and crew members, and much more. This gripping drama depicts the historical account of King Henry II (Peter O’Toole) and his loving friendship with Thomas Becket (Richard Burton), who had been the monarch’s closest confident and advisor. The account takes an ironic turn, however, after the King makes Becket the Archbishop of Canterbury. Becket finds himself moved towards an uncompromising devotion to God, a rival with whom the King cannot compete.

Champions of Faith
The Champions of Faith: Baseball Edition on DVD is a groundbreaking film that showcases the intersection of sports and faith in Major League Baseball by profiling many of the most accomplished and devout figures in the game both on and off the field. Major League baseball champions Mike Piazza, David Eckstein, Jeff Suppan, Mike Sweeney, Jack McKeon and Rich Donnelly lead an All-Star line-up in this moving and uplifting sports special that tells the story of faith in baseball like no other film ever made.

Lovely Like Jerusalem
The Fulfillment of the Old Testament in Christ and the Church
The highly regarded spiritual writer and theologian Fr. Aidan Nichols, O.P. presents an overview of the Old Testament by showing what it is and its relationship to the New Testament. He explains that it is essential for one to be familiar with the Old Testament in order to understand properly, and in a deeper way, the richness and message of the New. In particular, Fr. Nichols shows how important it is to grasp that connection in order to understand better and to believe in the message and the person of Christ.

History and Spirit
The Understanding of Scripture According to Origen
Origen (185-ca. 254), one of the most prolific and influential of the early Church Fathers, is best known to us for his Scripture exegesis. Henri de Lubac’s History and Spirit is a landmark study of Origen’s understanding of Scripture and his exegetical methods. In exploring Origen’s efforts to interpret the four different senses of Scripture, de Lubac leads the reader through an immense and varied work to its center: Christ the Word.
