Overview

Jesus Christ: God's Revelation to the World provides a map for high school students to navigate the wonderful work of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—in forming a People, giving a Law, and preparing for a Messiah. This text offers the perfect reading companion to the Bible—Old and New Testaments—through the lens of discovering the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Developed in collaboration with esteemed religious educator, Michael Pennock, this course has been designed along with the U.S. Bishop's recommended high school curriculum framework, is rooted in Christology, and is written with the objective of strengthening a teen's friendship with Jesus. It has been found in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

In addition, the text is perfect for a one-semester course on Scripture, as it surveys the entire scope of the Old Testament and New Testament. Jesus Christ: God's Revelation to the World begins, however, by centering the study of Scripture on a person's natural instinct to search for God. St. Augustine wrote: "Our hearts are restless until they find rest and satisfaction in God our Creator." This instinct leads students to a desire to uncover the path of God's Revelation, culminating in the Incarnation and the saving works of Jesus.

About the Author

Jon M. Sweeney, bestselling author of The Pope Who Quit, offers a surprising look at the world's most popular saint, showing how this beloved-but-often-mythologized character created a spiritual vision for the ages and may very well have rescued the Christian faith. Now in paperback, this new edition—called “a contemporary classic-in-the-making” by the National Catholic Reporter—includes study questions.

In When Saint Francis Saved the Church, Jon M. Sweeney presents an intriguing portrait of St. Francis of Assisi beyond the distorted myths and legends handed down over the centuries. Sweeney's portrait—called “part biography, part devotional . . . a rare combination of history and inspiration” by Patheos blogger Jack Levinson—reveals a saint who was an unpredictable puzzle.

Sweeney outlines Francis's revolutionary approach to friendship, people at the margins, poverty, spirituality, care (for people, creatures, and the natural world), and death. This vibrant book presents the unsullied life and message of Francis in its essential details, offering a remarkable look at how Francis and his movement saved the Christian faith—and continues to offer a spiritual vision with contemporary relevance. Sweeney also ties in the link between Pope Francis and his namesake.
