The Life of Jesus Christ: Understanding the Story of the Gospels
Russell Shaw
Often, our only experience of the Gospels is of those isolated segments taken out of context, rather than the story of our Savior's life.
This book aims to change that experience. The author weaves together the events of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John's narratives in chronological order to capture a true and rounded picture of Jesus’ life.

Thus Says the Lord: The Prophets in the Liturgy
Richard J. Clifford SJ
Professor Clifford takes us into the ancient near east to explain the calling of the prophet. He introduces us to those who prefigured the prophets, such as Abraham and Moses. He moves on to the many prophets who wrote as well as preached (Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Baruch, Amos, and so forth), and then he zooms in on Isaiah.
In this survey, the author explains what is known about each prophet and the situation in which he worked, then discusses how the text associated with him is structured, its features, and what parts of it appear in the lectionary.
Finally, we learn how the prophets communicated effectively in their oral society, how they understood their mission, and how they understood God’s purpose. This brief introduction to the prophets will help readers proclaim the prophets words with more understanding. It will fascinate Bible study and Scripture sharing groups.

Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word: Meditations on the Gospel According to St. Matthew
Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis
In his fourth and final volume of meditations on Matthew (chapters 26-28), the author continues to show Matthew prose to be not so much terse as economical-astoundingly so given its depth. Each short meditation comments on a verse or two, pointing to some facet of the text not immediately apparent, but rich with meaning.
